I’m on chapter 37 and debating whether or not to continue reading. This story took a turn I was very much not expecting and I was like, ok I’ll live with it, and the I saw that there’s like 90 more chapters to go and it’s not even done and... fuck idk
the pregnancy and marriage feels so out of left field. The concept of the MC (Hwa Gok?) being a “female” werewolf and being able to get pregnant, the fact that he’s getting pregnant and they’re engaged for whatever for what feels like less than a month of them knowing each other, especially considering the relationship started off as unhealthy and the MC is literally being victim blamed for the ‘blood link’ occurring and reliant on the LI to survive.
Like, IDK what happens in the next 90+ chapters but currently it feels like the story has no pacing and they’re rushing through plot point after plot point with some sex scenes thrown in.
Does it get better/slow down and have better pacing? Does it have such a heavy focus on pregnancy in the later chapters? Mpreg is a borderline trigger/very upsetting to me (as a trans man)
god idk how this story has such high ratings -- this is gonna get a lot of downvotes but this story feels painfully fetishizing of mlm and romanticizing of abuse. christ. please dont look to this couple as "what you want in a relationship" they are so unhealthy.
I’m pretty sure none actually want a relationship like this, I mean I hell don’t but I sure do want the sweet parts. Idk honestly almost all BL is fetishizing in it’s own way, there almost never is a perfect good/right/correct one, but since our lives are so boring I got into this and honestly I just enjoyed it. Clearly I didn’t enjoy all the rape/abuse/sexual harassment/plus more... side of the story but it added to plot. People that read Bl/Gl in the kinky form can’t really justify themselves even if there are part of LGBT in my opinion, we all just ducked up. I mean some are sweet and cute without much wrong in it so i can say some are fine.
Oh my GODD i was really hoping seme would be like “no chung you’re too traumatized let’s just cuddle ok” because he clearly, in the previous chapter, is so fucked up from his repeated rape and abuse that he thinks he needs to throw his emotions aside to sexually please his partner like... god. It’s dubiously consensual at best bcus Chung is not in the right state of mind, as the previous chapter showed us.
I expected it bcus it’s so fuckin common but I’m still disappointed.
well... keep in mind he's also worried that his seme wont want him anymore. he's scared he doesn't want him. obvious he was saying no at one point, and the uke is getting worried, saying "why wont you?" the way hes saying it is almost like a "do you not want me? do you not love me the same anymore?" and i think thats why he has sex with him, and now hes trying to comfort him. hes showing him he cares, and the seme wants him to know he still wants him and wants him.
he's being as careful as he can with his mental health, too. i see nothing wrong with it. im looking forward to sweet, happy, cuddle-ish sex. reassuring happy sex is so cute and he needs it
MASSIVE CW: Rape, abuse, a lot of violence.
The uke (the titular eunuch) is fought after by three different male main characters, but him and the obvious endgame LI are the main two.
More spoilers continue on.

SOMEWHAT SPOILERY CW:
The uke faces a LOT of tragedy. In the early chapters, he gets raped 3-4 times, including one where he is kidnapped and traumatized afterwards.
He is helped with recovery but shit still gets bad later.
More spoilers continue on.
--
EVEN MORE SPOILERY:
In the latest chapters, he gets kidnapped once more, briefly, and is raped and then attempted to be killed. He recovers from this, but is currently blind.
MORE SPECIFIC SPOILERS HERE. Warning: very long
The uke/eunuch, who I'm nicknaming White, guy I'm nicknaming Red (crown prince), guy I'm nicknaming Blue (his friend? childhood friend? brother? relative? I cannot read Korean), and guy I'm nicknaming Yellow (older man) are the main cast of characters.
Bcus I cannot read Korean this is mostly based on visuals and a little usage of Capture2Text in the last couple chapters.
White is a eunuch. We are shown in an early chapter that he was molested/raped as a young child. Red discovers White masturbating and is like, sexually interested in him? And starts doing... dubiously consensual things at best, rape at worst. White is very submissive and passive. He has a crush on Blue, because Blue is very kind to him.
One night, White is attacked and assaulted by a rapist. Mid-rape, Blue discovers this and kicks RapistGuy off of White, rescuing White. Cue extreme trauma 1.
Shortly after, Red is sexually harassing White, as he does, and finds the bite mark on White. I believe he thinks White had sex with Blue, so he gets jealous and rapes White. White is shown traumatized while Blue is frantically looking for him and cannot find him. Cue extreme trauma 2. Blue is also in love with White at this point.
RapistGuy uses a kid to trick White into getting kidnapped by him. RapistGuy holds White captive and brutally rapes him. Red and Blue have realized White is missing, and Red has gone and thrown himself into danger, being nearly killed by RapistGuy's men/friends. This is where we are introduced to Yellow, who is a mercenary? Maybe? Who saves White. Red is injured and is found later. Cue extreme trauma 3. White is shown being severely averse to touch, flinching at anyone who lifts a hand near him. Yellow is also in love with White.
Some development/character setting stuff happens. Blue murders RapistGuy and is hiding the fact he did. I think it's implied White knows he did? But I think the other people think Red did it? Anyways, bcus of... all that, Yellow takes White along with him. White and Yellow bond and have sex and Yellow is very caring and considerate of White's trauma. Red escapes his palace? Castle? Home? to find them and almost gets killed by Yellow's men before they're like "its you? bro come on." and they like let him tag along. Red is hard in love w White and is really jealous of Yellow and White, which is not lost on Yellow.
Yellow's wife? Lover? died in a fire and his? men held him back from trying to save her and also dying (in a burning building). White reminds him a lot of her.
More stuff, we see Blue is losing his mind.
White and Red go to a village and there's an old man who keeps following them. Red goes to do something and White ends up following the old man to help him or w/e. Then Yellow shows up and him and Red are like "oh fuck White is missing".
Turns out, Blue has shown up and kidnapped White. He has him tied up in a building, and White is very calm/morose about the whole thing. Blue is now a yandere, and rapes White. After he rapes White there's some more dialogue and Blue does the whole "if you can't have me no one can!" and force feeds him some kind of snake venom thing.
Yellow and Red find him shortly later, and Blue is nowhere to be seen. White coughs up a bunch of blood and he's like catatonic. He's like, on the verge of death, and then Yellow's men are able to find a snake to make an antivenom. Yellow is struggling to force it down White's throat so Red like drinks the whole thing to kiss White and give it to him that way and almost dies.
White wakes up! Yay! Everyone is happy. Except it turns out he's blind now. There's some plant? Bean plant? That can give him his vision back, so Yellow is off to do that while Red is taking care of White and they bond. Also I think Blue has taken the throne in Red's absense.
And that's basically everything!
Lastly: prev. reply is basically a summary of everything in the story thus far. I can't read Korean so I might be very wrong about some things and am definitely missing a lot of info. This is for people who are curious about the specifics of the story but are unsure of what they are getting into/scared of reading the actual content/don't wanna bother with reading raws.
Since ppl are just casually posting raws I wanna make sure ppl don't accidentally read something that could trigger or upset them, but I also want to give them the option of knowing what the story is about.
I’m still confused. Was it explained why/how Kay killed his past lover and/or the circumstances regarding that?
Didn't he kill him bc he betrayed and stole the map?
