I wonder who said that it's okay that he got forced into sex, this is not the only story with sex slave/concubine theme, there are a lot of others
Not all story have perfectly good main characters, some of them have flaws, the female lead in this story is obviously written as a bad and villainous one since she's a tyrant emperor who murdered many people, making male lead as her concubine is one of her bad trait, no one said it's okay
But well this is still a good read, most episodes of season 1 are boring for me, but i started to like the story since season 2, people can read a story about a psychotic murderer and think it's a good story without justifying the character's action
The female lead is like that because she was educated wrongly by her mother, her mother used to tell her to try various men so she doesn't make a wrong choice in men, it's mixed with how her mother and the female lead herself were underestimated as women and almost got murdered because their people don't want female rulers, it motivated the female lead to conquer men, hurts them, and make them cry under her feet, it's a wrong reason/motivation that lead to wrong action, i don't think any reader justify this, and i'm sure the author will give character development and address the female lead's wrong view of men step by step

look, i get that you enjoy the story, but the part where he's forced into sex just irks me. you said she gets character development then good for her, yeah? the rape-y part just stopped me cos i found it uncomfortable. as i said, whatever floats your boat but you're just being borderline disrespectful.

I just said that assumptions about shows/books or whatever before you can get to the actual plot and if it has actually settled yet is stupid. I’m not being an asshole it’s just facts. If someone was watching your favorite tv show (this is not my fav) and they base that shit off of five minutes and don’t like it because of how the mc’s meet each other you would be iffy about it too.

I pretty much agree with you. I read the story to the end and I didn’t really enjoy it. The behavior at the beginning - not only forced sex but also the rest - just gave me a bad vibe right from the start and it made it difficult to enjoy their relationship afterward, even if I guess they both get development. It still doesn’t change the start and also a part of the end that was a bit off to me.
yeah, 8 eps in and i'm dropping this. it's sick how people think it's ok for him to be a sex slave. regardless of whether he was taken in, being forced into sex is never ok. wtf do y'all mean this is a good read. lol, bye.
