I started reading this for brain rot. Why did it randomly turn into such a gem? The art style got so much better, the characters are actually super compelling and I ended up crying for most of their stories, and somehow this is the only harem I’m actually cool with??? Why??? Why is it good??? I’m confused???

It’s actually quite good for such a fucked story. It’s all about revenge, and the characters have depth to them. The king being a monster is actually true, not some misunderstanding. The toxin thing may or may not be true. The ML is obsessed with revenge, but in doing so he has to work with the very people who almost killed him and his mother. The brother is righteous but powerless. It has genocide, rape, fleeting love, desperation, revenge, and so so much more.
I think it’s actually quite good. But it’s not a romance. It is very, very, VERY far off from a romance. That’s why I would rate it highly; but if it turns to romance then I would give it a solid 1 star for the brother only.

Ummm not sure why people are complaining? I mean, uke is clearly trying to learn to express himself, he just genuinely doesn’t know how. People can’t just…CHANGE on the fly. He literally just went to buy a present. Plus, you can tell he didn’t mean it the way he said it; he was just worried about seme’s health. Sure, he could’ve said it in a better way, but he realized that and tried to fix the misunderstanding (even if it didn’t work).
Also, their form of communication used to be the challenges. It makes sense it’d be difficult to understand the other person if you’re no longer “fighting” if that was your main form of communicating. Switching communication styles isn’t easy, especially when it’s what you’re used to, but both of them are trying. Obviously there’s going to be some rocky waters while you’re feeling out new currents, especially when you’re on a new boat you’re unused to.
Give the poor man a break, he hasn’t even done anything worth all the hate he’s getting.
Everyone is like ‘my smile dropped when I saw he turned into a child’ and ‘I didn’t want to be reminded’ but I’m over here genuinely worried about Hyo-un turning into a flipping kid body like that’s super concerning especially after the entire fiasco that supposedly let his powers settle down and he should be able to control his form…and now he can’t control them again? If I were Taehyuk I’d freak the fuck out.
