To suggest Chloe is just brainlessly at peace with her captivity....

Give me a break. I really, really love the art and the romantic development.
But I really can't stand when they try to make the FL's desperation seem 'cute' cos she's being positive in a really horrid situation or environment
People have every right to be angry, upset or resent their situation. They shouldn't
have to be constantly happy to be 'worth' saving or paying attention to.
I get that Webcomic-issi is trying to juxtapose Chloe's marriage & family burden/ captivity with this one and suggest she's 'freer' with the Archduke, but they both seem sucky to me lol.
1) Her personal writings are read. 2) She has to deal with prejudice. 3) And she had to eat weeds...
Chloe... Girl... Your life has been hard
