@Kidayuki I kept thinking of https://mangadex.org/title/35064/i-m-a-villainous-daughter-so-i-m-going-to-keep-the-last-boss while reading this manga. I can diffidently recommend it, though there are few dark scenes in it.
@Mojo It's most likely a "fiction doesn't equal reality" for most. While yandere isn't my cup of tea, the bad guy turning soft is a guilty pleasure of mine, but I wouldn't want to be with a bad guy irl in hopes of him being a diamond in the rough.

@Siikalahna I disagree with Elaine being an old hag. She's just looking out for Ibe, as what she said is true for that time period. Of course sending Ibe away without Ibe telling Al why is stupid, but if Ibe tried to leave when Al was still there, he wouldn't let her. And I don't think Ibe can...
