He's not a hypocritical saint who's ruthless and decisive in killing outsiders.

    These two books feature the best male leads I've ever read. There are no deliberate misunderstandings, no pretentious airs, no "I'm doing this for your own good," and no beating around the bush. The female leads are also great; they ask questions on the spot, don't bottle things up, don't overthink things, and aren't hesitant or coy. They can explain things clearly in a single sentence. The male leads never beat around the bush. [Heart emoji]
