This is a shoujo romance tale. Isolated locations, magical powers, fluffy sidekick familiars (aka guardians), fancy balls, and other common tropes appear. Some bad guys get punished, our leads fall for each other, and a fluffy dragon gives good sarcasm. It tries to be edgy by exploring toxic relationships. The ML is abused by his family and neglected for years and becomes obsessed with someone who shows him kindness. In this version of events she fakes a death which causes him to have a mental breakdown and is forced to remain in his presence while under attack from others. In another version she dies and reincarnates to serve him again but ultimately becomes a shell unable to leave. It's a bit dark for the "fluffy" portrayals at work here. I thought the narrative did well to keep the characters likable enough, but it has some rough patches. Mostly because it takes awhile for them to open up, get on the same page, and start working together against common enemies. Further, deities do the handwaving behind the scenes instead of specific explanations.
