I was gonna say, the dream being a dream was the most upsetting thing to happen to the king, but then he did THAT and then I am reminded there is no redeeming him. But then again, I want him to coddle him. I want him to experience being loved by the teacher, but I also know that cannot happen without the teacher losing his wits. It's so conflicting.

Tmi but when I first started reading bl, I would stick to non-smutty ones bc smut made me uncomfortable (girlie was an undiscovered asexual) then I grew past that phase and now actively read smut (girlie is still asexual) but this and Rotten's smut makes me so uncomfortable it's bringing back memories of me avoiding smut I'm still reading tho
It's been a long time since I put this on my want to read list, and I'm glad I read it all at once.
Truly one of the most romantic reads in a while, and they've never even voiced out their feelings for each other?? (except for the whisper)
Ml always asking for the mc's opinion every time was refreshing. He always(?) respected his wishes and made him feel seen and heard. And yet, their need for each other was never really verbalized. I fw with that. Just a mutual understanding that don't need words, a commitment to the other at the soul level. They're so...I want that for me.
Also! Isn't that the cutest baby you've ever seen in yaoi universe!
