Man this has so much potential as a political and historical story of a mad king and his descend into more madness that would end with his fall from power yet I just know they'll keep trying to feed us oh no he's a good person at heart he's just traumatized... well yeah he is traumatized but he's a very powerful homicidal traumatized person. I love the fact that till now at least (ch 33) hwan is not letting him get away with it
I would love to see him take a very political approach and be compliant with the king while trying to govern the country towards a better place while handling the political things but I'm not sure if his headstrong righteous dumbass would do that
I just ugh I want a real political drama of the soft power manipulating for survival is that too much to ask?
I swear to God if this attempts a redemption arc I'm gonna curse the author out (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

Guys help why is the wing thing this hot???? Is it just me? Is it a kink I just unlocked? How can some feathers' entanglement get me so hot and bothered???????? Why? What is it about those specific motions that just make me this way? It's way more sensual than the literal fucking and I don't understand why...

So I started rereading and I'm at the second chapter but I see it... Ian has the same personality that I loved so much in Brian he's just been manipulated out of his mind. other than that he's still fighting for justice and is willing to go to great lengths for the goodness of the world. Also the sass is still there and I love it. he's just been mislead about what's good and bad because organized religion gives you a sure set of right and wrong, when Brian had the privilege of discovering his morals on his own and was free to choose
In a sense Brian was the boss of himself he chose what to do and when to act and Ian never had that privilege he's a soldier in this life one heavily manipulated by a religious organization but I saw it i saw the same soul in them and I'm honestly so much better now and kudos to the writer I didn't even realize this the first time I read it
Also I can see Brian's influence on modern day sol he kinda feels more involved and even playful about governing his country than when Brian was alive this is very interesting and so well written
I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy one of the greatest stories written ever

My house is flooded now with my endless tears
Brian is the best character ever in the history of fiction
He's a beautiful soul and if I were sol I wouldn't forget him for thousands of years either like I don't blame him for still loving him... not one bit...
He's the greatest person to ever exist the best leader anyone could ask for and the brightest lover to ever be loved by. Even in his last moments he just wanted happiness prosperity and peace for his love and his people.
Ugh my heart hurts so much I'm definitely gonna reread the flashback chapters after this alot because we probably won't get much of Brian anymore
I'll never in a million lifetimes accept lorkan in any sort of redemption ark that's just not possible he'll stay the villain that he is for the rest of history
I selfishly wish even if Ian never fully becomes Brian he can incorporate his best qualities in himself so I could still have glimpses of my favorite character going forward
Ugh I'm so impatient I wanna know what fuck happened between them(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
