Yikes... Really irked me that they just brushed over the fact that the seme was a stalker who broke into uke's house to basturbate, sent him weird letters with his hair in it and shit... Like it was fucking nothing...
But I guess I shouldn't have expected better, when the rape and blackmail in the beginning was so easily accepted and forgiven... ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍

The scene were Sir Trigger holds Cloe is honestly the most romantic in the entire webtoon imo.
The whole thing has just been so clichéd and cringy so far.
But maybe this mess could be saved if Cloe started getting romantic with one of the servants or knights (Cloe x Trigger - I ship it!) and then she could become good friends with the Archduke instead, helping him realise not all women are selfish and calculating as he seems to think.

I get that the translator was tired of waiting on chapters, and it was super nice of them to then translate on their own and share it with us!
Just... It might've been good to not rush as much doing so or to get someone to proofread before publishing, cause some parts are really confusing; Names that change, sentences that don't quite make sense and inconsistent language. I think I've probably missed a few points, bc I couldn't quite decifer the text...
Ofc I couldn't do much better as I don't even speak the original language of the webtoon.
And it will probably be good practice/experience for the new translator. So good on them!

I came back, after putting this on hold for a couple of months, to see if this has started to have any plot yet...
All I see is disappointment in the comments, so Imma take a guess and say: No...
Well, peace out folks!

lol, I have this manga on break for over a year now, it was getting on my last nerves, but I still check in every now and then and it seems to be going around in the same annoying circle as always ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
it does have a plot, unfortunately, a really annoying, frustrating, nonsensical, contrived and infuriating plot, but we still come back, because it has the potential to be so much more ╥﹏╥

Why is this trope so common?
Guy: "Oh, she's a Virgin! Suddenly I feel so attracted to her, where I might not have before. I actually find her so irresistible that I want to force myself onto her, whether she is interested or not".
Girl: "I'm practically getting raped, but because he's handsome it doesn't actually feel too bad, and now I'm kind of falling in love with him. Tihi"
Like, I get this is smut, but you know what the most sexy thing in the world is? It's CONSENT.

Enough.
I'm sure they explain it away as him 'always having had an eye for her' or 'having been in love with her all along' or something, later.
However his reason for wanting her, doesn't change the fact that he raped her.
No matter how much they try to romantisize or downplay it; Rape is rape.
They fact that so many authors does this, is my problem and what I'm criticising.

Exactly what I mean! Thank you <3
I'll say that forceful behaviour can be quite sexy, if that is what you are into AND have agreed to. But Again, here the important factor is: Consent!
If you're on the same page I say go for whatever style of play you want, even if what you like is rape-play. But this does NOT work without extensive communication, prediscussed agreements and safe words!
Which this manga doesn't have...
That last translator-bit had me laughing so hard, I think my boyfriend thinks I'm a deranged person...! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
wow imagine being in a relationship..my single introverted ass could never lol
