I hate this manga it's like your husband falling in love with your fucking surrogate it's ...

I think you’re judging it too much by the standards we have right now. Well, this is a fantasy land that is meant to be way way way in the past where man I can have multiple wives and it’s expected that most of the wives after the first one which is usually arranged or Usually for political gain or because he likes them and wants to fuck them

Yeah..and it can NOT be that way. The author can TOTALLY make us like MC and ML without making us try to think about those unnecessary morally questionable bs, since, like you said, we're in the modern era and we have NEW moral standards. Yet here we are. Nathaniel is the original wife, so again, I will stand that his attitude is JUSTIFIED. No matter what era people have feelings, he's been with ML longer, slept with ML longer, had conversations with ML longer and IS in a RELATIONSHIP with ML longer. No matter what era three or more people CANNOT coexist within a relationship like this with a single person without feelings of negativity

Nah because even back then, queens would kill concubines their husbands get too attached to. They still had morals back then too.

Not saying that that’s not fine and I don’t get you and stuff like that. I might just not care because I know who he’s gonna end up with and how the story is gonna go anyways. Most likely going to be a short and very clear type Any relationship they had an arranged marriage as well. There was also convenient. He married him because he needed the baby and he couldn’t give it to him so he just got somebody else realistic. Doing it the only difference is that he’s actually in love this time meaning that they’re not in a relationship. The first two are not in a relationship. They were just arranged type of marriage marriage. This is forced type of arranged marriage. Don’t even know if he wanted that specific person, but I understand where you’re coming from and you’re saying the author shouldn’t make you think or whatever then just don’t read it anymore

But I do understand if you still want to read it to know where it goes

Exactlyyy

Arranged marriages are still marriages. Yes it is a type of relationship. Yes it is just as real and valid and holds up. Loyalty and respect and fulfillment of conjugal and marital duties is still expected from both parties.
Forced and arranged marriages are very different. Idk what kind of crack yall on. Most of y’all’s grandparents had arranged marriages.
Neglecting your marriage partner makes you a scum, unless they neglected their obligation towards you first, or are simply a displaceable person. Which we might find out later.
Anyways it’s a silly little fiction so I will read it.
It’s just that people can enjoy shit without needing to jump through hoops to justify actions that are clearly wrong. There’s no need to make out the king to be a good person when they’re not.

Personally I don’t care much about any of the characters. It’s all so silly and irl morals shouldn’t be applied to it. Neither to justify actions nor to judge them.
It’s an ”it is wat it is” type of fiction where there’s no point in comparing it to reality in the first place LOL

Preach preach preach

Precisely what I'm trying to say. You can create a story without your readers having to justify the icky morality of your characters by providing excuses for them

YES that what I meant
