There's a pretty sizeable amount of emotional angst at play here. Miyo, the FMC, has deeply internalized the negative attitudes of her stepmother and half-sister. It's a Cinderella re-imagining so in the beginning there are flashbacks to Miyo working as a servant in her own household and the emotional and physical abuse she faces. By the time she arrives at the home of Lord Kudo, the MMC, her self-worth is absolutely non-existent. She's in a constant state of self-doubt, used to trying to please everyone (albeit unsuccessfully in her old home), and is a bit of a shell of a person. . I never quite understood the characterization of Lord Kudo as a needlessly cruel or demanding man - even if he did have a string of broken engagements. The second scene where the MCs are on page together is pretty awkward, with Kudo assuming Miyo is out to poison him with her cooking (lol whut!?). This is a true slow burn romantic thread, so Volume 1 focuses on establishing a background for the characters individually and then gradually moving into building an emotional connection between them.
Dare I say it's fluffy angst? I'm in the mood to devour this series.

On the other hand, he's like the LEAST toxic person in her life and they're cute enough that I'm willing to keep reading if I can easily find more volumes?? So there's that.
