but it seems that the emperor only becomes a tyrant AFTER jae-ryun dies... like bro was perfectly acceptable before. They're acting like he was killing ppl left and right his ENTIRE reign. But that doesn't seem to be the case. So like... why not try keeping jae-ryun alive???
Like all this bullshit about making the emperor a "sage emperor" yada yada like bro it ain't that deep... just ensure jae-ryun stays alive. It really isn't that deep. Make the emperor a sage or whatever... tf is that gonna do if jae-ryun dies anyways??
this should honestly be tagged horror
and if it's viewed from a mild psychological-horror view... it's actually pretty good. like, bro faked it til the end so like props to that. and it seems at least ML will treat MC well this life and in the next and so forth--like he learned his lesson. That to get what he wants... he has to be good to MC. And the final chapter indicates that he's changed, at least a little bit. He did shady ass sht on the side and manipulated MC but at least MC is happy? in what's basically a false reality but still, like, MC is genuinely fulfilled and happy... let him be happy
pretty dark but probs the best possible outcome in a way i really enjoyed, and the author doesn't try to twist it otherwise
like at least the rape wasn't played off, the MC's depression and downward spiral and everything in his past life was totally legit. his present life fear wasn't downplayed either. he was just outplayed (unfortunately (??))
Was there really a need for the plot to go in this direction????
Like, damn—if you're so "immeasurably pleased" that he couldn't bear to kill you, isn't this the perfect setup for a redemption arc without rape???? This could have been the start of a slow healing process (since the "good times" were what made the bottom develop feelings and give up killing him).
I know the top is his family's killer and the bottom's inability to go through with the revenge deed led him to wanting to die but instead of "hey, let's continue treating him well and try the difficult process of fixing this," the author went "nah that's too hard to write" and dove straight into "let's rape him into submission."
Bro, he had already submitted before all this—was this really necessary???
Dying really is better off for the bottom at this point like... he gave up his life's revenge mission in exchange for the sentimental times, but instead he got endless rape wtf.
dis bich
she hasn't given you a single look over the years how did she ever belong to you??? like how do you acknowledge she's been always indifferent to you but then be like "nah she'll know she belongs with me"
what kinda delulu world r you living in shawty
ALSO "i tried to win her over with kindness" i'm sorry but dude your actions led to her getting more bullied--ain't no way you didn't notice
this plot is so weird
sehan's pissed cos cha-on tried to jump
but bro literally just got socked in the face and was tryna escape? i'm sorry?
story was so good but now it's gone batshit downhill... and not in the good way, like was alllll this really necessary (￣∇￣")
"i thought i meant something to him... maybe i was deluding yourself..."
UM SORRY ACCOUNTABILITY WHERE??? HE'S JUST DOING AS YOU ASKED HIM TO??? girlllllllllll
we saw that ml's father was ruthless, heartless, and abusive... like... we should be happy that the ML turned out alright. sure, he's withdrawn... but that's to be expected? like, he barely was loved growing up--like what do u expect, some flowery, funny, extroverted guy? esp given their family too... like he could hardly have had any non-familial interactions growing up with the poisonous blood
AND he was assaulted in the past by the princess?? like, i'm sorry that you don't like him??
idek what revenge he's getting
cos her mind ain't even all there. bro's even more pathetic cos he's literally just talking to air.
get this sht off my feed man--i regret clicking out of curiosity
i thought isabel and daniel ran away WHAT THEY DIED??? FRFR???? thats crazyyy
that feels so wrong
