I really, really love the update!
I, too, picked for my MC to write often in the journal and in the bathing scene it said that the water was more calming than writing in it...
And then... I've chosen drawing as my mc's hobby (as an introverted, socially awkward little snowflake with a way too strong sense of duty). But as the mc was about to participate in the hunt it said that hunting has always been the mc's favorite? It doesn't fit, especially cause I chose for them to participate despite personally hating the mere thought of hurting an animal - they're a bookworm through and through with almost no fighting skills at all and only forced themselfes to join in, with being the consort and propriety and all that fuss :D
Well. Im always eager to ready your story and despite all the hate... i kinda like Luceris. Especially the dynamic of my rather kind and docile MC and him. Their scenes just have such an authentic feeling to it. The unwanted adoptive child that you somehow awkwardly positioned as your decoy-husband blinded by rage in a revenge plot that made so much sense back then but now brings forth a quite distressing and rather complicated mess of emotions that more often than not contradict each other...
I deeply love this story for how Luceris is portrayed. Humans are such multifaceted beings and emotions can shift and coexist despite common sense. Its a truly authentic mess and I crave for more :)
And even though I care so deeply for that unhealthy and yet strangeky endearing family-killer/Guardian -and his victim/kinda-adoptive-child/decoy-husband-thing, I of course am all in for the ro's.
My mc simps for Vincent without really wanting to acknowledge it though. Vincents mum alone is reason enough for my MC to becespecially cautious. Who would choose such a mother-in-law willingly? Quite the predicament indeed.
Well, that was enough blabbering. Stay safe and healthy, dear author :)
