Kinda just binged read this for the family trope. I enjoyed it for the most part. The problem I had mainly was Ririkos character as a whole but also I get it?!
-I understood both sides of touma and Sentarous grief when she passed away. On one hand Sentarous, is very empathetic towards her, where on the other, Touma, is very apathetic and resulting to ultimately calling her a very selfish person who didn’t take their feelings into account.
-Her mother was aware of her colorful past and doesn’t seem to harbor any judgement. I like that Sentarous was right about Ririkos feelings towards her daughter, as selfish as she was, she just wanted to have that sense of peace knowing her daughter will be safe with someone she trust after she passes. Touma was still right to call her out for her behavior. Death doesn’t erase all of your misdeeds.
- I don’t blame her for choosing Sentarous, I would’ve too he was the most reliable out of all of them. But girlie if you’re dating someone you have to have that conversation about whether your relationship is monogamous or non monogamous. that’s a douche move (coming from a polyamorous girl herself lol) so yeah I don’t blame people for disliking her, I did find her character complex despite me not agreeing with the way she went about literally everything -_-
It’s obvious that Garam went through some sort of trauma from his first relationship because he doesn’t even want to talk about it. Jaehyuk’s feelings are also valid because how is he supposed to know if this relationship isn’t one side in a romantic sense.
It’s about building trust and patience, Jaehyuk proved that he can also be emotionally supportive. However, it’s clear that it’s a really touchy subject for Garam and has ruin his way of how to be affectionate, to a point that he can’t even express words like “I like you” ( I can relate lol) but yeah Garam does need to talk it out.
It's obvious for us but not for Jaehyuk.
Garams behaviour towards Jaehyuk would technically make perfect sense even without him having some sort of trauma simply just bc of how Jaehyuk treated him before the confession, although if there was no prior trauma then him acting like this and genuinely returning Jaehyuks feelings would make no sense.
Without knowing about Garams trauma, the conclusion of Garam still thinking of Jaehyuk as a fuck buddy rather than a boyfriend is a valid and the most likely conclusion, even if in this case it's wrong and Garam is genuinely in love.
Not wanting to date anyone ever again after a past relationship can be caused by either having been too deeply in love (Jaehyuks conclusion) or having gotten traumatized by awful experiences during the relationship (Garams actually experience) so again, from this bit of info it's not obvious at all.
And yes, the "too deeply in love to love again" after a relationship is over is something that really does happen to people. My dad for example was so deeply in love with my mom that it took over 10 YEARS after their divorce for him to be able to fall in love with someone again
I agree. I guess it does make sense that Jaehyuk is a bit oblivious on how to go about it considering this is technically his first relationship that’s not just physical but rather emotional. So everything is new to him, relationships are complicated and you can’t expect your partner to always tell you everything.
I legit wanted to smack Jaehyuk through the screen when he decided not to ask about Garams ex bc it would've prevented so many misunderstandings if Jaehyuk knew that Garam not dating anyone anymore was because of how nasty his ex was.
Like I can understand Jaehyuk being scared of his assumptions being confirmed but him being so close to finding out about Garams trauma and also having evolved into this extremely supportive and loving boyfriend just to only get the wrong puzzle pieces that paint a different picture and created a giant misunderstanding felt like such a slap in the face
But I guess Garam has to get his character development the same way Jaehyuk did ╥﹏╥
At least he acknowledges all of the shitty things he’s done, bare minimum. Also I’m gonna ramble so this is gonna be spoilers from the novel about the difference between him and Heinrey

As terrible of a husband Sovieshu was, he actually was a very caring father to his daughter, despite knowing she isn’t his blood. Whether or not it’s because he feels guilty/pity her; that’s up to you to decide, but i believe that he genuinely cares for her. However Heinrey… I wouldn’t say he’s the worst father in manhwa history, but he does favor one child over the other because she looks just like Navier and neglects his son. Idk it’s just of those things I’ve kinda like to point and it’s been bugging.
You mean he really doesn't give any affection at all towards his son? Then what about his mother? Did his mother also ignore him? He would have been very lonely in the kingdom and was very jealous of his younger sister. ╥﹏╥ I don't like this.
Not really, he even wants his daughter to be the next heir without really considering his son. Navier on the other hand,does love the twins equally tho. I don’t remember much else if they had a conversation on Heinreys favoritism since it’s been a while.
Okay, thank you for your explanation
Well that’s a shame..
So I’ve tried to put myself in her fathers shoes on why he’s acting like that, but I deadass still can’t understand how he chooses to ignore his daughter when she’s asking about breaking off her engagement. That’s not something anyone takes lightly.
.
He literally says that she’s not someone who go to extreme acts. As far as we know how fmc is, she’s not a spoiled. Wouldn’t it make sense that something bad happened between them like abuse, cheating, gambling? So why listen to a man YOU hate instead of your daughter?
The art style was great but it’s ruined by r@pe, so yeah TW when reading this.
But if you’re into yandere ml non con then I guess this one’s for you…?
I normally don’t like harems with male mcs but I like the concept of it so far. Especially since I’ve read lots of shoujos similar to this one with isekais into otome games so I eat this plot up every time.
So I guess it’s not technically “cheating”, but I’m seeing a harem tag soo idk
