This is nowhere NEAR as good as rumspring and dear gene but why so many more have read this one???

Not really?? Like it's not like one of them is a superhero story and the other one is a high school love story. Both of their main focus are on the main pair and their love story and plot wise i think rumspring had a more unique and strong story. I'm not saying this one is bad i like it myself a lot but i do think rumspring is better.

Ok so from what i've gathered so far Lucas treated a guy terribly, the guy went and became a black magician, him and some other existence slowly started whispering shit in the late kings ears since young age until he pretty much lost it and hated everyone around him and even tried to kill his own brother many times, afterwards when his brother almost killed him the dark magician took the chance and possessed his body and right now it's him in the body of the late king. Although the late king can't be completely gone considering his reactions to his daughter. I'm just hoping there is a way to save him as well

You people seriously confuse me. I mean this authors work mostly follow the same pattern ( i like their work so i read most of them ) and lot of them have rape in them ( the worst being caste heaven) so i don't know if you don't like it just don't read them? ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I personally like the way the author portrays pain and melancholy in their works and also i have a weird fondness for the art style
They remind me of lan wangji and wei wuxian
