"'Tis sweet to look at. Like a peach covered in a sheen of dew."

I keep telling myself that I hate this bastard. I hate this psychotic bastard, but he says something like that and I just smile like an idiot. I actually went, "Awwww." I found them to be lovingly adorable these last two chapters.

I have realized something about myself...no, I've always known, I just admitted it to myself a few minutes ago. I may like a certain level of toxicity in these MLs. I came from two horrible relationships with a sociopathic narcissist and a compulsive liar, respectfully. So, I shouldn't like any bit of these types MLs personalities.

But I think I do. Maybe it's bc this all isn't real, bc if I met him in real life, I think I'd have to stomp on his balls at least once or twice just for existing and breathing, taking up oxygen from others who deserve it. I've always liked bad boys and the villains and I still do. That's probably where this comes from.

I'm still here for the revenge. The guy murdered our MCs family so, there is no kind of redemption that is deserving. The author is going to have to be very convincing. They're gonna have to come up with some idea...something from the Grand Halls of Valhalla to convince me of a redemption arc. If not, then the revenge should be carried through. I just hate that a part of me is....*coughs*startingtolikethisbastard*coughs*

    He’s a bastard through and through. No redemption arc could erase what he’d done. However, we can all quietly admit that these two have crazy chemistry together and just look forward to genuinely enjoying these two in an alternate timeline side story.

    The sad thing is that killing off an entire family line was common in those times. Ukes family was accused of treason and seme was ordered to kill them all. As a general of the emperor he had no choice whether he wanted to or not. If he didn't, he'd be accused of treason and executed too.

    Not excusing him or his actions, just pointing out the circumstances.

    Someone gets it. He is not a judge, unfortunately. He was just a tool of the emperor. He did his job. Should he have shown some empathy, maybe but he is soldier, he did what he told or it was his head on the line. Nor does he have any connection with the uke's family to betray the emperor. It's all about perspective and most readers are just looking at one, the pov the author is providing.

    Oooh! Okay, I completely see your point! You are free to call me a dumbass because I completely missed the part about the Emperor ordering him to do it. It makes sense now. No, I didn't think he just went on a rampage one night and did it willy-nilly. I knew the family or the father I think was accused of treason and was ordered to be killed, but I thought he himself came across the information and went and handled it himself. You are free to call me all kinds of stupid bc I'm feeling it right now.

    Funny thing is, I just had this conversation on an Isekai group I'm apart of on Reddit. Someone posed a question as to why FLs in Historical Isekai always fall in love with MLs, especially "Dukes of the North" who has killed tons of people and would anyone of us fall in love if we were the FL. A couple of us said it depended on the situation. I talked about being feom a military family who were in a couple of wars and had to do tours. My grandfather and a cousin of mine served in different wars, but had to kill. My cousin had a hard time with it. He's doing a lot better, but he's still dealing with nightmares bc he's taken a lot of lives--people who had families just like him. There is another cousin of ours who is completely against any type of war and violence and called him a murderer and still does. She doesn't care if he hears it or not.

    So yeah, just had this conversation that it all depends bc sometimes it's a kill or be killed situation in these stories. Especially if the Duke is a Knight or Swordmaster. Or a Crown Prince who had to kill brothers and other relatives who came at him for his title and position.

    So, I definitely get things now with the ML. An order is an order and a soldier (or subordinate or knight) is trained to take orders and disobeying an order comes with consequences. Thank you, btw. You cleared something up BIG TIME, where I had the wrong idea about. I still feel incredibly stupid, but I dont feel so bad about things now. But, like you said doesn't excuse his actions but this all makes perfect sense.

    You're absolutely welcome! I have noticed a lot of people never actually picked up that it was him acting on orders as a general and just blame the ML, because he's the only one visible to blame, and because the uke blames him as well.

    Yeeees. And he is a huge scapegoat to all of this, but because of who he is, its easy to think that about him. There's so much corruption going on that I want to know what happened behind all of this. Did someone set the Dad up as the fall guy? And if he actually did commit treason, was it his fault--meani g, was he talked/tricked into it with lies by someone he trusted?

    Also, you mentioned how this happened a lot back during those times, which I agree. I wanted to bring corruption to the table. Can you imagine the betrayal that happened left and right? Especially when politics, positions, and titles are involved.

    From what happened when they showed the past, I'm assuming the current emperor overthrew the previous one. It would be the main reason to execute those who supported the other contenders for the throne under the guise of treason. That's usually how those things went back then, they'd assassinate their male siblings because they also had a claim to the throne (usually they had different mothers because of the harem of concubines and they were raised in separate compounds with their mothers and away from the other concubines and their children to protect them from being assassinated) and then either inherit the throne or the emperor would either get suddenly 'sick' or they'd do an outright coup and execute the emperor with their supporters.

Dear God and all things holy, just throw the whole Chase Family away. All three of them. Just go tf away and that Rielle can just wither away and die. I feel like the Aunt's suffering and death should be hers.

Geek Goddess March 2, 2024 5:47 am

Wow...some of y'all are unnecessarily ruthless, when its really not needed. At least not for this story. There are some stories where I've wished for a character, of course a White Lotus, to get impaled on a stake through the asshole and roasted on an open fire like Chestnuts at Christmas so that demons could feast on her innards for all eternity. But that's not this story lol. This story didn't call for that type of wish and reaction. Whether it's Team Yahwi (sp?) or Team Cain, some of y'all from each team are reeeally toxic. You're almost as toxic as certain Kpop fans/stans.

Oh well. I think I'm the only one who truly liked both Cain and Yahwi. There's a lot of Cain hate and some of y'all can't stand him even trying to move on and be happy, therefore you hated this chapter (and really every chapter he was in), with the reason either being "Cain is in it" and or "It was boring...bc Cain is in it." Yikes. But you like who you want and root for who you want and that is just fine. :-)

Yes, I rooted for Jooin to pick Yahwi, but I knew I would've been fine too if he chose Cain. That's not always so with me bc sometimes, I lean towards one ML 100% more than I do the other regardless of which one being the 1st ML or 2nd ML. In this, I liked both of them and they both served a purpose in Jooin's life, as well as each other's lives.

I wish Jooin and Kitty Sunbae all the happiness in the world. BUT ALSO...I wish Cain that same happiness. And, yes, you mutha fuckers, he deserves happiness too. Hehe :-p :-))

Love you guys! <3

    It's a little funny calling other people ruthless etc. but typing a comment with slurs and passive aggressive smilies in it.
    I see most people not criticizing the characters but the story being messed up, kinda illogical and over the top dramatic for no reason.

    Actually, they were real smiles. I love talking with you guys on here and reading your comments. It's like watching a new video from your favorite Ytber and then rushing to the comments to see what your fellow Subscribers have to say. I feel the same on here. I love reading my favorite manga/manhwa/etc. and then I rush to the comments to see what everyone says. It's the conversations that I really enjoy. I don't care if you think my smiles were passive aggressive. The reason I put them there was to let everyone know that I wasn't mad or anything. They were genuine smiles and one was a tongue out to indicate that I was joking using the word "mutha fuckers". But if you feel they were passive aggressive then so be it. You're entitled to your own opinion and feelings. It's just a little disheartening and sad that some of us can't come on here and give a genuine opinion and smile anymore just like everybody else. People can get on here say what they want to say, but they aren't allowed to be challenged or called out. People gave their opinions about Cain and Yahwi (sp?), but I guess the rest of us can't give an opinion about their opinions. It's why I said we all have the right to like who we want when it comes to these characters to let everyone know that even though I feel a certain type of way, my words are just my words and opinion and it's not my intention to attack. Why? Again, bc we are free to like a certain character at the end of the day.

    And as far as the ruthless comment, yes, I did point out that some were ruthless but wanted to let you all know that I am also ruthless when it comes to liking or hating a character and gave an EXAMPLE of what I have said about a White Lotus Bitch. I didnt want anyone thinking I was pointing a finger at others and not pointing that same finger at myself. Never did I say that people couldnt be ruthless and feel what they feel. Again, its my opinion on an opinion. Right here would be where I would put another smile, but I won't do that out of respect for you because you would think that it's not being sincere. At the end of the day, I still love coming to the comments and enjoy reading everyone's thoughts of the updates and like to join in and give my thoughts. I don't have very many friends and very many people legitimately in my life so, I like to think those who subscribe to these stories are my friends and in these comments, we are just having conversations and interactions like friends do.

That. Was. Fkn. HOTTTTT. I miss Snow Tiger so much. And when he said Dowon's username, I squealed. I don't know why. I just did. I don't know anything anymore other than the Author had BETTER let us see this damn wedding. We didn't get to see Dojin and Taeju's wedding so please. I beg the YAOI God's, PLEASE let the author give us a wedding!

Geek Goddess February 28, 2024 2:14 am

When the tigers were being shot, I couldn't take it. I cant handle things like that. It's like watching Bambi's mother being killed. And the two MLs are a bunch of psychopaths. This is like Painter of the Night, but with Tiger beastmen. I can somewhat stomach POTN, but I can't this. I may come back later and read it, but now right now.

Geek Goddess February 27, 2024 6:21 am

Sooo, I'm digging the yandere MLs. I don't like that there are so many of them. It's taking that whole reverse harem to the extreme. I will say that we don't need another heroine, Helen. There was absolutely no reason for her to be there and if that's the case, Alice should've been X'd out completely and the author could've just brought in Helen.

The number one thing I don't like....siiiiighs...is the MC. I don't hate her. I just hate her ways. She's so busy trying to be by herself and to not get hated on by her classmates that they ended up hating her anyway until Raid cleared up the misunderstanding. What I really hate about her is she's constantly pushing Raid to Alice, even when he, CLEAR AS DAY, that he doesn't like Alice and wanted her (MC). She doesn't fucking listen and it's getting on my nerves. Someone here mentioned that she's dense. I completely agree, but she's dense AND she doesn't listen. That is a bad combination. I get it that she's trying to not get executed, but if nothing had been going her way as far as the MLs and the Heroine is concerned, then the smartest thing to do is regroup and try another strategy and that is just letting things play out as they are. She didn't have to isolate herself, nor blow off the MLs.

Geek Goddess February 27, 2024 1:54 am

Okay but why so much hate for Rareritis?? I know, I get it but what I wanna know is why no one is talking about the asshole who slapped and assaulted her in front of everybody????????? And Cassius, nor Rareritis, kicked that sonovabitch in his throat.

Geek Goddess February 26, 2024 12:46 pm

You guys...I love that we're all collectively spazzing out, yet nervous at the same time. We all have a camaraderie about these two during this chapter. Lol

Geek Goddess February 25, 2024 9:36 pm

I'm still reading this, but I saw some comments, especially on the "homepage" (or whatever you call it) of this manhwa. And I need to say a couple of things:

1) Some ppl were calling the MC petty and that her being sad that her BF left her for another woman was petty. Here is the definition of the word "Petty":

adjective
1. of little importance; trivial.
"both groups are known to fight over petty issues"

Similar Words:
trivial, trifling, minor, small, slight, unimportant, insignificant, inessential, inconsequential, inconsiderable, negligible, paltry, footling, fiddling, of little account.

So what you're saying is our MC is insignificant and what happened to her is trivial. You're completely disregarding her feelings. I feel like either you're A) unaware of what petty means and just talking out of your ass; B) 14 years old; C) have NEVER experienced an actual relationship and actual heartbreak from said relationship for whatever reason--in this case, your BF/GF leaving you for another person; or D) ALL OF THE ABOVE.

2) Also, certain people were calling her a "damsel in distress". Let me give you the definition of DinD:

phrase

1. a young woman in trouble (with the implication that the woman needs to be rescued, as by a prince in a fairy tale).
"she makes a rather sweet damsel in distress"

Yeah...I'm just gonna leave those definitions for some people. Now, again, I am not finished with it and I don't know what will happen, but from what I've seen so far, she's very sad and upset however, she's not some damsel. Damsel...in manhwa terms...are MCs that always needs constant rescuing and protection bc she's too weak to do it herself. It's different when someone is going through something or has a bit of bad luck a few times and a friend or someone helps them out of those situations. It's not bc that person is too weak, but because they may not have the power or option to get themselves out of a bad situation.

Some of y'all gotta chill and go and work on yourself so that maybe you can understand how to have sympathy and empathy for people. Oh and just in case...

Sympathy:

noun

1. feelings of pity and sorrow for someone else's misfortune.
"they had great sympathy for the flood victims"

Similar: pity, condolence, comfort, solace, support, compassion, concern

Empathy:

noun

1. the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
"he has a total lack of empathy for anybody"
