Description
The first man she ever loved in her life was taken from her by her half-sister. So she took the older brother of her first lover as her own. Emperor Achilleon, the man who brought an entire continent to its knees knelt at her feet. It was Hazel who made him beg for love. “Tell me, what does my Empress want?” She was able to get whatever she wanted. Except for one thing: her first love. On the night of the hunting festival, when she was beautifully decorated and invited. The emperor offered her his most coveted prey. “What do you think? Isn’t this much gentler?” “Ah, Your Majesty.” “I’m a husband who will let my wife have everything she desires.” Caught up in her ‘sweet’ husband’s cruel plans for revenge, Hazel faced her last chance to undo everything, however… “I found it.” The emperor’s blue eyes shone only on her.

My Thoughts on He Was Kind If I Stopped
"He Was Kind If I Stopped" is a web novel that grabbed my attention with its intriguing title and premise. It's a story steeped in drama, romance, and a touch of tragedy, and while it's not without its flaws, it definitely left a mark.
First Impressions
The initial chapters are undeniably dark, throwing you headfirst into the aftermath of Hazel's traumatic first life. The story doesn’t shy away from depicting the raw pain and despair she experiences, which sets the stage for her actions in the regression. I found myself immediately invested in her journey to escape the nightmare she endured.
What Works Well
One of the strongest aspects of this novel is Hazel herself. She's not your typical perfect heroine; she's flawed, makes questionable decisions, and is driven by a mix of selfish desires and genuine pain. This complexity makes her feel incredibly human, and I appreciated the author's ability to create a character I could sympathize with, even when I didn't necessarily agree with her choices.
I also found the world-building and the nuanced characterizations compelling. While some characters might initially appear as simple antagonists, the story often reveals justifications for their actions, adding a layer of realism to the narrative. The slow pacing allows for a deeper exploration of these characters and their motivations.
Areas of Concern
However, the story isn't without its issues. The male lead's actions in Hazel's first life, particularly his treatment of her after suspecting infidelity, are difficult to forgive. While the novel seems to be steering towards a romance between them, I struggled with the idea of Hazel being able to move past the trauma he inflicted. Additionally, some readers might find Hazel's initial actions and motivations unlikeable, making it difficult to fully invest in her journey.

Despite some reservations, "He Was Kind If I Stopped" is a captivating read. It’s a guilty pleasure that explores themes of trauma, redemption, and the complexities of human relationships. If you're looking for a romance with a flawed but compelling heroine and are willing to grapple with morally grey characters, I recommend giving it a try. Just be prepared for a potentially bumpy ride.
