it's dysfunctional all the way through.
the MC suffers for something like 43 chapters,
and by this point you know that Garon is a certified Psychopath. Literally. So let's use this as a key note in what it's like have a Psychopath obsessed with you. F***
And the MC's obsession with that abuse is a clinical study in how victims justify relationships that are, date I say it, Toxic. (and reject those that would be healthy).
The whole underlying message on this story is very disturbing.
the 2ML is a green flag. and we're all left in the dust when the MC leaves him. ( ≧Д≦)
Garon became obsessed with the mc bcoz imae tribe had this sort of ecstasy where their victim will thirst for their body more and as time goes by, the victim's body will slowly deteriorate. And in the mc's case, he just simply experienced a type of "Stockholm syndrome" and I didn't fw that, not even a little bit.
Can't still stand bitches who prefer a rapist to a guy who'll treat you right lol. Bitch idc if the mad king becomes a softie in the end, I don't give a shit. Hope he just die lmao. Although the 2nd male lead tries to assault the bottom, unlike that bitch of a king, he didn't went all the way and just respect the bottoms disapproval of his approach. I forgot which chapter it is but there's a scene where the bottom is scratching his body to remove the stench/mark of that bitch from his body, like is that shit romanticizable?
