finally... after rereading for the third time i finally understand the politics fully and this is so interesting! If anyone is confused ask questions maybe the chat can help answer them cause I was there myself LOLOL. The archaic vibe the whole black and white panelling gives, selective uses of colour for impact, well-established plot revolving around power struggle of noble factions and a powerful clergy... man GIMME MORE FR
spoiler for chap 61
rereading the first chap after finishing 61 MAN wow the foreshadowing, from pav's reaction you can tell he knew from THE START that my boy sion had regressed as sienna. Pav now u can't just go and die after securing sion as the holy king TT please gimme a happy ending and more wholesome content ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

The long awaited sequel is finally out!!!! the author was not playing around, really came back and ATE with that lore-building. The action sequences are also really good, i'm shocked. I hardly see BL's getting those quality action scenes down...
I'm really hoping this author takes this story and continues on with it, further than the standard one volume releases seen in the BL industry. So much potential and areas to explore... I am excited to see their relationship develop from a transactional one to a somewhat forbidden, dangerous and inseparable bond.

Ok ok one thing I noticed idk if anyone has alr commented but,,,
Spoiler for released chapters:
It’s been noted that Taeju and Euihyun’s pheromones fit perfectly with each other (compared to their hectic af relationship at the start of the story taeju this is all ur Fing fault fr)
Taeju and Euihyun seem to have matching scents (as shown from the time Taeju comments that Euihyun’s smell is similar to the little white bloom - only for him to euihyun to react confused, because that’s what taeju smells like to him) FURTHERMORE when haesung tries to calm euihyun down, we see contrasting colours of pheromones (blue and red) but when taeju is calming euihyun down (white and red) their colour’s seem to pair up/merge as one. These details are killing me

Ch 9: Taeju tells Euihyun that he smells sweet like a white pearly flower that blooms across the trees.
Ch 35: When Haesung tells Euihyun the same thing and Euihyun realises Taeju's smell is not the same but very similar to that flower.
Ch 72: So far the best representation of how compatible their pheromones are.
Haesung tries to calm Euihyun, later he sees that Taeju's pheromones put him at ease instantly.
Also, you can see in regular panels that their pheromones are of almost the same colour, and they are greatly affected by each other's smell as well.
(I'm not sure what that means in ABO, just an observation. (⌒▽⌒))
WOW….. THAT CAT IS SO CUTE
