This will be like the abandoned empress 2.0. I understand forgiveness and all but how are you going to forgive someone who 1) never apologized 2) hasn't changed for the better 3) is still manipulating you for their own interest. Honestly I feel bad for FL because of what she went through but just because she went through all of that doesn't excuse her stupidity (?? If that's the right word for it) like girl grow a back bone
I feel sorry for everyone EVEN Caesar(??? I forgot his name but the older brother also to a extent) at the end of the day EVERYONE is a victim in one way or another the only difference is how they handle it for example Caesar handled it in a TERRIBLE way, at the beginning he did want to protect ruby and give her a happy life and be a family but at some point those feelings got WAY to extreme and turned from wanting to protect my little sister to I need to protect what's mine (I truly doubt he has actual romantic feelings for her I think it's possessive and obsession) and since he wasn't raised by an actual family (I mean the dad threatened to take away ruby if Caesar didn't become like a puppet and do everything that he was told) to give him proper love he didn't know how to love in a family way (if that makes sense?) but don't get me wrong he literally abused ruby and deserves to get punished I just wished there was therapy in this world because EVERYONE needs it cause their childhood was SHIIIIIT
As much as we all hate the guy, I think this is why Ceasar is actually really well written.
Mostly the villains or even the mentally unstable MLs in these stories are just not relatable. They have no real reason to be that much of an asshole and often they're just assholes to be assholes.
Meanwhile Ceasar, as you said, just wanted to protect Ruby, but didn't understand the way he behaved was wrong all because they were raised by garbage.
In these situations I mourn the relationship these two could have had. I hate Ceasar but I hate the dad more
What if the brother hypnotized the crush to make him a creep? Like he literally hypnotized his whole family for YEARS so I wouldn't put it passed him. Idk I just don't want the author to go the typical route and make the 2nd ml a creep to justify the ml actions and push mc to like the ml
I would like it better if the 2nd ml is not a creep and is clearly the better option. Like this is clearly a dark romance and as much as I would like for them to get together, from that short one and all the things that has happened it would make more sense to get a false sense of security and bam the mc doesn't like the 2nd ml and some ficked up shit starts happening with the ml.
It's so cringe but I can't help reading it because of the art like why is it so gorgeous. It's icky that the ml literally raised the mc since he was a literal child (how old was he? Like 5??) and how he was like a father figure to him. Also it's also icky how the mc acts like he acts like a spoiled child and it's a ick especially since he looks under age. Ml is fine as hell but that's his only good quality because if he was average or ugly (or if the art wasn't as good as it is) people would tear the author a new one and call them a pedo/groomer for writing this shit.
It's hella a pedo but like bottom line is people are more forgiving do to art and seme personality ._.
I myself is being gaslighted and manipulated by the art.
Everything I agree with except MC looking underaged. He looks 18-20 to me. As for spoiled child, it’s weird in this scenario bc of everything added on top of it…but ppl acting spoiled/childish isn’t always weird or pdfilic
Hes acting like some is his daddy and he's a spoiled brat that gets everything he wants , it's Seen as pedo cause he was raised by seme.
So in that sense it's weird
