Please let Yeonjo successfully kill himself this round and be free of this burden he’s placed on himself.

Uh, rude. He kills himself so he can reincarnate into a better life with his family without all this constant suffering and guilt. What the fuck is your damage, everyone has a way they want the story to go, sorry I don’t want to keep seeing him be raped and then live happily ever after with his rapist.

What constitutes a redemption arc for a man orchestrating a gang rape for his partner, even if it wasn’t carried out in the end? He has done nothing but antagonize what he viewed as a purchased punching bag. If this man was not attractive I fear there would be far less open arms waiting in this comment section. A tired trope indeed.
Also, I agree with the comment(s) saying it’s odd how the author displayed the inconsistency in his character. He’s shown no remorse for his behavior until this point and then cranks it to 100 with the waterworks/ manipulation (I’m including the raws but won’t spoil the buffoonery.)

So tired of the doormat MC and toxic seme trope, it’s beyond outdone. Seme has every reason to be bitter and CUT OFF HIS FAMILY and I’ll never understand holding a candle for middle or high school feelings for a decade of no contact like all these things get under my skin in manga/novels I swear, but I’m trying to hold out to see if there’s something at the climax that makes me go OH SHIT THATS GOOD because we didn’t even get to see the technical antagonist (the brother) have a satisfying death.

Lmao, yeah. It's like the characters
stops existing during the time they don't see each other. We're supposed to like the seme because he's hot and got a sad past. And we're supposed to relate to the spineless MC who can't ever make a single decision or say what he's really thinking, causing only more misunderstandings.

Uh, I guess? But they knew each other for one year and for a solid portion of that time he looked at MC like a pawn to piss off his brother who was ruining his life. So he didn’t even have feelings for a year and you’re saying in reality you’d carry a torch for yeeears for someone you had a crush on and knew for a couple months in middle or high school? Feels so unrealistic but I guess it could happen?

This isn’t about reality or thinking how anyone else would feel irl. I’m talking about the ML’s character only. If you read the recent chapters on his backstory, you’d know that it showed that everyone around him was terrible and he didn’t have close friends.
It doesn’t matter when they met or how long they knew each other. It’s obvious that the concept of a person who is in a terrible environment and surrounded by terrible people will naturally be very attached to the very first and only person that brought them sincerity and happiness. The simple way to think is to put yourself in his shoes, not think about your own ideals. If he had a terrible life before, met one person that made him happy, then that person disappeared and his life went back to being bad, then it’s obvious he’d stay attached to the one good person in his life.

Also tbh, maybe you’ve never held strong/serious feelings for anyone or think highschool feelings aren’t serious, but there’s millions of people who have felt that way about someone. It’s when that person they have a crush on made an impact on them, which stays with them for a long time. It’s not unrealistic at all, I just think you’ve probably never had such feelings before. Not everyone has the same unserious/easy feelings

It IS about reality, actually, because if you read my comment it’s all about ME (not to sound self centered.) I’m stating an opinion about tropes I’ve grown tired of seeing because due to MY perceptions I can’t immerse myself into the plots as I find myself able to enjoy stories more when I either relate to/ groove with the world building or characters. Also, whether intentional or not, don’t make presumptions about me or anything I’ve experienced. You can see I acknowledged that it could happen to someone (in your reality I guess to millions) but it felt unrealistic for me personally. Thanks for the discourse.

In the raws is it just me or did they change it up? I could have sworn in the novel MC had a much harsher reaction to learning of his pregnancy/gilded imprisonment as empress. He and ML were on horrible terms regarding the ascension and baby. Yet in the raws Zigryl says he loves Kay then Kay is all bashful and while bewildered about being named empress, but doesn’t seem that torn up about the baby??? And doesn’t seem that pressed to escape either. Maybe I’m remembering the novel wrong I just swear it was more angsty.

Why do I feel like these chapters in particular are drawn oddly? Like all the other chapters/couples are shaped and colored well and then the actual couple I’m invested in is slightly… off? Almost like a different artist took over. Maybe I’m tripping but I swear the older chapters when they were in the fortress didn’t feel/look like this.
That mama knows what’s up, that man was garbage so vile it couldn’t even be incinerated. Good fucking riddance.
