I'm so mad Garon never gave him his name though!!!! It's so frustrating how it ended. And it ended it 2022 so it's over over.
UGH. I AGREE! I'm hoping the comic adds its own side stories and we get a scene where Garon gives the MC the name he planned! In the novel the little book Garon was using to write names he thought of was very well-loved, so you know he spent ages thinking about it and wanted to find the perfect one. It was such a sweet gesture, I really need to see it play out in the comic.
It's been over a month since this comment, sorry, but if you see it anytime, I have a question about Garon. Is it ever explained why was he such tyrant. It's quite anticlimactic for someone who's so bloodthirsty and with tendencies of psychopathic behaviour to chage just because of love, but it's every bl's usual trope, so it's okay. I'm just curious if he had a reason or simply was gross human being to begin with.
Regardless of reason and all the love he harbor for MC I'll hate him. As for other potential ML, he was sweet to some extent but I feel like he was kinda unnecessary 2nd lead, he could have just been good friend (of it's just personal preference)
To be honest, I can’t remember anymore. If he did have a backstory as to why he does what he does, then it was so uninspired/generic I can’t even remember it. Or maybe my brain is just too forgetful. Fingers crossed it’s the latter.
Funnily, you and the MC feel the same way about Raon (the second ML). Better as a friend.
Wait so the emperor killed the mom? And thank you for this.
So I don't know if the antidote lasts forever. The Dr and someone else mentioned that something was wrong with the ML a few times and the ML immediately shut it down like he didn't want anyone talking about it. But I think he's dying from the poison again at the end of the story. It's never confirmed though. I honestly don't like how the story ended. Too many open ends and honestly no happy ending for anyone
Thankyou so much!!
But tbh I rlly like raon rn and I was wondering if the author shows any ending abt him? Does he end up with someone else or anything?
Not that Ican remember. We see Raon for the last time after MC leaves him to go back to his village. Nothing else happens with Raon after that, since that happens near the end of the main story and the side stories focus on Garon and MC.
Did the ML really the one who k*lled MC's mother? I just want that to know, cuz I have an inkling that he was framed
IIRC Garon doesn’t recall? He killed a lot of imae that night. But it was probably him and he accepts the blame from MC regardless.
Kinda wish he didn't and it was somebody else, but regardless thank god at least he had a little bit of empathetic for the MC.
Thanks for the reply ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Just finished reading the web novel for this. It's actually a very long story that took a day and a half to read and was very well written. Spoilers ahead.
I can't believe how well the author managed to make me like MC and Garon (ML) being together by the end despite how awful Garon had been for most of the story. He doesn't entirely redeem himself necessarily, but you feel his utter devotion to the MC. He would rather die himself than do something that would harm the MC by the middle/end of the novel. He’s crazy about the MC in a way that is almost scary… he would feed the MC his flesh if the MC asked him to—this isn’t me exaggerating, he literally tries to. The MC feels guilt and anguishes about his mother’s death and the circumstances of how he knows Garon, but… I can’t explain it. You just like them together by the end. It’s a helpless kind of love, even after separation they’re the only ones for each other. Garon wants MC to change him and MC really is. He thinks endlessly about the name he wants to give MC. He finds an old painting the MC’s late father painted despite how unpopular the MC‘s father’s paintings actually were and gifts it to the MC without ever making a big deal about it—the painting is just there one day. He wears down the cheap pipe the MC gives him by using it everyday and taking it everywhere. He gives his life up just to be with the MC.
About Raon (second ML)… I’ll say, yes, he does force himself on the MC (never going all the way—though I think he would have if it weren’t for his knowledge of the poison) and actually has a covetous, perverted way of thinking and speaking, but really that’s not the worst thing about him. Personally, the fact that he knew the MC when he was 16 and was attracted to him is the creepiest part. He didn’t kill the MC’s mom, which I know some people thought he did.
Raon does get his time with the MC, so for people who like him you’ll get to see them in sexual situations (but they never go far since the MC can’t get hard with him and Raon knows about the poison) as well as living together for a month or so.
It’s very obvious before MC and Garon separate, though, that Garon is the one who loves MC more. Garon would let his love for the MC destroy him, but Raon wouldn’t. That’s what my main takeaway was from their different dynamics.
MC’s painter friend, Naro, lives by the end, btw. Garon brings him to MC long after MC thought he might be dead. Garon’s three guards all become more important in the special chapters since they look after the MC and make sure he’s okay (as well as one of them having a crush on Naro…).
I can answer any other questions anyone has :)
