That’s the thing tho I think ash ‘dumbs” himself down with the emperor cus it’s stated that ash is like a genius with the sword he grew up reading some of the most ancient and smart books(cus his head priest uncle) and understood them. Ash was able to adapt to every place they sent him to and strive. He understands how marriage and couples work and is actively trying to make it legal for men to marry again. But since he clearly also likes the emperor I think he just lets himself get coddled by him even if it’s excessive lol. I believe ash knows exactly what he’s doing the the blonde (▰˘◡˘▰)
I truly think ash is a lot more complicated than other ukes that are just there getting thrown around by the seme lmao.

I am 100% sure Asha realised he wants Kiel and is trying to seduce him.

This makes allot of sense and either way I would love it but the whole situation is very sus to me

Last time I check that she able to get divorce quick even she had to wait due laws like few month or year but manga did not waste time on waiting part. It most shock for me. I was on holding that to bulk up.

Wow this is great thanks for your recommendation!!

i mean she never had to lift a finger let alone be in a kitchen to even watch how food is made before. she is a little too dumb and is bad at listening to luke but she just wants to give back to the prince with something she personally made, i commend her for that. this whole story is about lily learning how to be a better person through trials so it makes sense she won’t know what are basic knife skills and how to balance flavours. she was a spoiled rich girl up until the sorry starts, so she has to work with what she has.

What Reika said
And also she like 15 years old cut her some slack she will learn, I wasted lots of food trying to learn how to cook at her age too
I’m glad she has flaws like that too make her more relatable

I believe it's 'coz in their era, it's more abnormal for a noble to know how?

I'm actually more annoyed that her butler didn't show her HOW to cut properly and didn't guide her step by step (like u would a kid in his/her first time in the kitchen) as she made it herself....

She was so sincere in wanting to learn how and gifting her fiance with something she made personally.....

*sigh* but again, the butler's reaction is the more normal one for their presumed era...

Tbh i dont like the butler. His response is irk me. It's either too submissive or too presumptuous. Idk if it's the translation or the author, he just looks fake

The cooking scene is just the Shoujo genre's version of the beach episode, and it gets squeezed in the plots even of fantasy stories like this where it doesn't fit because readers and the publisher expect it. Each shoujo must have the MC cook to prove her love by using her womanly cooking. If you feel philosophical you could analyze how this cultural expectation shows in Japan women are only seen as worthy of love if they do household chores. I choose instead to just enjoy the silly out of place cooking scenes in Shoujo manga and move on with my day though.

Lol start was not wholesome nor sweet.

did yeonwoo not threaten suicide in the first chapter what r u talking about

It started on a suicide threat. The actual relationship was cute at first but let’s be real, it was never going to be a sweet healthy and wholesome relationship. Might be at the end after all the miscommunication and all but until then…

My bad. I must have gaslighted myself into thinking it was loveydovey and cute from the start. Well, now this is even more ass than I thought thanks for alerting me guys

LMAO it tricked you into thinking it started healthily and wholesomely bc hwibun was always super giving and sweet to yeonwoo and going along his whims after they started dating

Dont take my words and put it on your mouth. I said 1 word and you assumed 10. Your critical thinking really shined through. The point i was making was the fact that there are so many other stories that was built way worse than this. Never did i ever literally DEFENDED this story. Is it not true that the rape is a plot point which also equates to a sudden change in dynamic? Its just a literary way to say something similar like this "if yall cant even handle a story that suddenly glorified rape..." Theres no hidden meaning behind it.

You dont have to put on a bravado of being the most morale human being on this website. Not when thats how you generalized literally everything that i said, painting me as the people who normalized and romanticized rape. Thank you.

Thanks for complimenting my critical thinking!

Whether you intended to or not, your language comes off to others as defending rape. Your original comment saying it's just a 'slight change in dynamic' is using language that minimises the act. How can you take rape, something that is so emotionally traumatic and deeply gross and think it's okay that the author uses it as a mere plot device? You are also downplaying rape in your response to me. Saying that 'other stories are built worse', you're once again downplaying rape as just another plot device that's being used all the time again. Does it make it okay if its used in other stories all the time? No!

You imply that me, and others are overreacting by suggesting rape is unnecessary and bad? How is pointing this out having bravado about being moral? Instead of shifting blame and claiming generalised, reflect on your own statements and view on rape. Thank you!

I may have used the wrong expression by saying 'slight' as i did not take my time through when commenting that. Therefore, i apologize for that statement but never have i ever said that using rape as a plot point as okay. Once again you're taking my words into your own mouth. Im saying how other stories are way worse because its true. I invite you to read my previous comments on other stories, find me what I said that could ever point out to me thinking that rape is fine. You'll find me being hella against it (for eg; sadistic beauty bl side story, jinx and etc). But its also true that people did get way too sensitive and overreacted to this story, which makes me wonder how they would handle or even survive being OUT there. Then again, its my harmless curiousity since I've had my fair share of worse stories ever, built for porn and rape, etc. You can say, i got tired of all those bullshits but seeing people overly triggered in this story particularly makes me think they havent seen the worse. And thats all there is to it. Still doesnt make me a rape defender or whatevs u thought i am. You havent walked a mile in my shoe, how about you reflect on that first? Your welcome.

You are still missing the point. No rape is worse than another. People who suffer trauma related to SA will be triggered regardless of how “little” or “not bad” you think this display of rape is. ALL rape is worse. The reaction to the inclusion of rape is completely valid regardless of whether you think this tape isn’t as bad as others. Rape is Rape.

I didn't say this rape is better than the other. I said, other story was built worser than this. Worser in terms of build up, characters, settings and of course, even more extreme traumatizing scenarios. Just because i said other stories are worser doesnt mean that rape in this story can be dismissed. You're just another person putting my words into your own sentences.

I read that rape isn't about the desire, it's about dominance and violence. Rape in romance media is so romanticized that you think that'll it's a form of "love", when all it was is abuse.
