Starts out as a sweet courtship, and suddenly it turns full angst for no reason and Darcy is marrying Caroline Bingley — bad start !!

Why has dentist Darcy suddenly SLAPPED socialite wife Lizzie ??? Just NO

Terrible editing !!

This is dragging a little bit.

I have suddenly remembered why I cannot stand this authors… farcical tropes, lack of logic, suspension of any common sense for the sake of pushing a forced plotline

This Darcy enjoys nightimes in his wife’s bedroom, then snubs her in the daytime, allows everyone to insult her, isolates her, and rejoices on long internal dialogue hating her, resenting her, being embarrassed by her and repenting getting married to her and her relations. He is a piece of work and deserves to have Pemberly burn down woth him inside setting poor Lizzy free.

This Darcy is the most disagreeable, bitter, selfish and tormemted user of women I have ever read — little hope of a redemption at this point.

In which Mr. Darcy is a drunkard & Elizabeth is a spendthrift…

How much more can this story DRAG ?!???

An agst fest, illogical, nonsensical, all characters acting in manners so random and disconnected… Lizzie is i love with Darcy, but also mistrusts him, but also thinks the worst of him, but also admires his qualities. Darcy loves Lizzie, and is pursuing her, but agrees to renounce her at first provocation because he’s not sure, and doesn’t even try to talk to her.

I *hate* soft-core revenge tales where the main couple (here, Lizzie) scold, discipline and humiliate other characters whom the author deems need “punishment” — it’s poor taste and an extremely childish trope

Boring, illogical and out of character...

This Lizzy is actually a HORRIBLE wife !!

This makes no sense !! Actions don't match the characters' words...

Peachy !! Mr. Bennet is a mass murderer, there's carnage in Longbourn and the reactions of the surviving characters are clownish.

The nastiest, disgusting, most rapey, sadistic, angsty writing ever -- gettinf to finish this is a punishment I would not wish on anyone...

This author is too sadistic for me. Graphic violence, psychological violence, it goes above and beyond angst and it doesn't cease...

This is surprisingly angsty !! Also, there's no romance in sight other than maybe Lydia with the supposed "hero" -- very puzzling

I cannot stand the angst based on malicious mischief, misunderstandings, and "fated" situations with no way out...

How many times can the gullible old Mr. Darcy be fooled by snake-like Wickham ??? Excessively angsty.

This Darcy is the type of feeble rogue who would see himself officially engaged after promising Elizabeth in a secret engagement which he choses to disregard for a sordid blackmail attempt.

Excessively slow, dragging, repetitive, convoluted, artifically angsty and again, did I say DRAGGING ???

Really ?? A cheap farcical kidnapping scene at this stage ???

Lack of specialized editing regarding protocol, proper address, inheritance regulations and Peerage. The story is also unpolished, too much tell and not enough show. Characters are disposed of with cheap ploys: Mrs. Bennet + three youngest sisters are virtually erased and don't have voices, this was done rather crassly. The worst part, I can't deal with the wrongful address of "Duchess Agatha"

I just't process the WRONG use of titles... there's no such thing as addressing a widowed duchess as "Duchess Agatha". No, just no !!

70% into the story, and the "hero" keeps telling thr heroine how she'll never be first priority for him since he has a 14 yr old daughter... be still my heart (NOT) !!

I need a time-out !!

Bad bad bad...!! Trigger warning !!
