Do you like messed up dramas? Do you like stories about flawed characters? Do you like stories with incredibly beautiful art and hot characters? Then this is the series for you!
Seriously, this is an incredible series. I know its not finished yet, but I trust with my entire soul that the end will do the story and characters justice. It has been very, very, VERY long since I've last read a story this fantastically well written. I always thought ancient myths would make great soap opera's and this just proves it, this has to be one of the best drama's I've ever read. And it weaves ancient Egyptian myth so expertly, its amazing, as someone who has studied it, I can guarantee a lot of is accurate and faithful to the myths. The story itself is a little complicated at times, but once it all comes together you will find yourself in awe of how well thought out it is. I literally had to stop several times while reading it just process my feelings and thoughts as the revelations because it made so much sense, and it heightened everybody's characters intensely so, I was blown away.
I cannot express how amazing this story is without spoiling its twists, because they are that good, its better you go in blind.
That being said, there are some things that should noted. The most obvious is that there is two rape scenes in this. Because the version uploaded here is the 18+ version, it shows it unlike the 16+ version (which I believe only shows parts/implies it), but I still wouldn't say even the 18+ goes into *that* much detail. Its there, its warns you at the start of the chapter, so its up to you whether you can stomach it being there.
The second I guess would be the characters, pretty much no one in this innocent or a particularly good person, HOWEVER, in my opinion, thats what makes them so great. Despite being gods, they are very very very flawed, just like humans. Its even a major theme of the story, that the gods are just as flawed as the humans they rule over. They are petty, hold grudges, cruel, selfish, possessive beings. And I would say all of them act in a way that makes sense (doesn't necessarily mean rational, just that the way they act makes sense as their established flawed characters).
All that being said, this is a series not to sleep on, its well worth the read. Be careful tho or you'll end up like me; staying up until 3am to binge read it because its so interesting and hard to stop, the night before an exam （/TДT)/
I really love this, it's actually got a plot and the two mains aren't instantly in fluffy domestic healthy love. They're incredibly flawed,its refreshing.
But also ppl being like "shouma & yoshiko is incest!!" Its not, but regardless if it bothers u that much, why are u reading? Tsubaki literally wants to bang her own grandfather. These ppl are Yakuza, who deal in really horrible illegal shit. Why is shouma who has known yoshino for less than 6 years incest? They're not even childhood friends lmao
I actually prefer kiri/yoshi more, but the "shou/yoshi is incest" excuse is so pathetic, it's not accurate and even if it was, I seriously ask how yall can condone all the other shit in this manga but not that. So pathetic.
huh?? healthy love??????
Typo, it's meant to say "NOT instantly in ..." woops. I thought it was refreshing that main couple was cute, but not instantly in love and in a healthy relationship
Someone else mentioned the last chapter that maybe Jurgen is part of the Templars and is actually using slight magic on the MC at times (which is why MC against all logic decided to stay with him). This chapter lends the theory credibility imo.
At least, I hope thats the explanation because otherwise I have 0 sympathy for the MC because it would mean he was dumb enough to make the decision to break up with someone but then immediately agree to stay a week with them, even knowing he's distracting and is part of the reason he's doing poorly at his job currently.
I don't think Jurgen is playing this time, the cuffs and his words seem pretty sinister. I don't know whether he's a spy unwilling to lose his source, or just a regular yandere, but either way I like it. I thought their relationship was pretty underwhelming until now cause it was 99% sex, at least now their dynamic has evolved.
From what I saw the Mac cheated on Juergen (sorry if I spelled that wrong) and when jurgen caught him her was crying and jurgen left him there but when jurgen came back to his house the nyc was already there balling his eyes out
*MC cheated
SPOILERS BELOW
He is, or if not one of them he is working for them, season 1 ends with the reveal
im curious about the series but I can't work out who the top is. Do they switch or is the dynamic fixed?
It’s fixed, they don’t switch
Whose the top then? Is it the poor dude?
Yeah the fighter, guess he is technically poor. I was gonna say in debt
Thank you c:
Please re-read the title. And the description too. What part of "tyrant" do you guys not understand? Please look it up in a dictionary.
All this "Dylan is so mean now :(" "I don't want them to get together anymore its toxic" what were you ppl expecting??
THIS IS LITERALLY A STORY ABOUT A WOMAN WHO WAS TORTUOUSLY TURNED INTO A SWORD, ENSLAVED FOR 400 YEARS, AND NOW BRUTALLY SEEKS REVENGE BY USING AN INNOCENT YOUNG PRINCE WHOM SHE PURPOSEFULLY SEDUCES AND TURNS INTO A TYRANT SO HE'LL DESTROY AN ENTIRE EMPIRE
What part of that premise made u guys think this would a sweet, wholesome, healthy story?? Are you guys aware that not all romances are sunshine and roses? Sometimes stories, even those of the romance genre... feature conflict and flawed characters. Wow, what a revelation. Seriously.
Im annoyed because something similar happened in another story about a tyrant male lead, and its so frustrating. There are SO MANY wholesome happy healthy love stories out there, why can't you guys just go read those? Let us have a story where there is actual conflict for gods sake. (╬￣皿￣)凸
YESS I AGREE
Oh it's because they have this idea that all stories about tyrants will change into a wholesome love story. I love this story because it doesn't do that. Both leads are very flawed and seeking something different from each other. They don't just instantly fix their flaws and turn into great people. That's why this and "The Villainess Turns back the Hourglass" are amongst my top favorite webtoons and novels. The characters don't change from what they were meant to be just because they went back in time. So I agree, people need to stop complaining about how the main characters are. If they aren't what you wanted to read something else.
I agree with everything except Dylan being innocent lol. All she did was making him obsess with her and change his life goal. He's already corrupted from the start.
Yes hé was, and she chose him specifically because he caused a rebellion at the this time in her previous life. That's why she knew how to get his attention and and what to do during the rebellion. The difference between then and now is that Dylan killed everyone rather than putting them on trial, due to his finding the secret library and being pissed that he found her name on a list to experiment on.
I fail to see how he was innocent in your reply.
I wasn't saying that he was innocent, but rather agreeing with you that he was corrupted from the start. Sorry didn't make that clear.
Ah I see. Yeah then your comment made sense now haha. I agree with you too.
Yay!
Im gonna vomit blood from the pain of seeing the "you've read all thats been updated so far" screen. We have finally reached the novel's original premise, I'm very excited to read it. I've really loved watching their relationship progress, especially the way Dylan slowly fell into dark obsession. He's becoming a yandere hahaha
the chase/hunt for her will be so satisfying to watch
God yes! This webtoon has done an amazing job with following the storyline and the art work fits them beautifully! I can't wait for season two! So excited!

MC is kind of dumb. I get that he likes Jurgen and he's breaking up with him because he doesn't want to get him involved and because he's dangerously distracting, but agreeing to stay the week with him?? My dude, where did your logic go? How would that make the break up any easier, and make Jurgen less distracting?
Idk, I just don't think the MC is very smart. And it's a little hard to be convinced of his love for him when 90% of the interaction has been banging and he even states at the start they're not really "dating"
Also Jurgen 100% knows more than he's letting on and is probably involved in the industry, probably on the enemy side imo.
Well, I think that Jurgen has magic. I think he's a sorcerer and the grand master or whatever (the boss of the templar or the chechnyens). There was some sparkly blue stuff around Jurgen when he asked the MC to stay with him. I think there was sparkly stuff around him when they first met as well. Jurgen knows who the MC is and from what I can tell, he is manipulating him with magic and purposely chose to pursue the MC.
I genuinely hope this is what is happening, it would be a good twist, it would explain a lot, and make me like the mc again.
was this chapter in very low quality for anyone else? It was thankfully still readable but I wouldn't be able to read every chapter like this, it really hurts the eyes
yeah, it was low quality for me too but at least it was readable
Yeah same some pages were ok but most of were kinda blurry but decent enough to read the texts
THAT CLIFFHANGER AHHH ITS MY MAKING ME COUGH UP BLOOD
Does anyone know if there's a translation of the LN of this? I would kill to read it, I really wanna know what happens!! I know there's at least 100+ chapters in korean.
AHHH I DON'T THINK I CAN SURVIVE THE WAIT, CASSIS IS FINALLY HERE!!
