Apparently they have a 7 year age gap. When he was 20 she would have been 13. Supposedly he met her when she was 10. Let’s list this pedo’s lovely red flags shall we?:
• He had complete power over her societally! Amazing! Makes the pedo age gap ten times worse
• He’s forcing her into marriage
• Oh wait! He went back in time! Dang he’s even older mentally!
• Sees her as too young to drink? I don’t blame you! She was barely a preteen when you hit 18! Golly! No wonder you and your soldiers are offering her warm milk and cookies instead of allowing her to drink
These fuckass authors actually piss me the fuck off. 10/10 angerbait
BRO HELL NAH HE CAME BACK IN TIME PLUS HE WAS 20 WHEN THEY MET CUH I THOUGHT HE WAS ATLEAST 15-16 WHILE SHE WAS 12-13. JUST LOOK OLD AF, TURNS OUT HE WAS OLD AF.
WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE GORGEOUS ARTSYLES THAT GOT THE SHITTIEST ML I'M DYING
It’s the authors fuckass choice. WHY are they so obsessed with teenage girls being in such horrendous relationships. I KNOW you’re not a 17 year old writing this, clearly the author is in her early or late 20s. It’s just as predatory as a seinen or shounen author sexualising young girls atp
Btw age gap may be worse than 7 years. It’s anywhere between 7-9 years
Isnt this supposed to be historical or at least historically inspired? Women used to be married as early as 14 to men 5 to 10 years older. Not unusual at all. Don't get your panties in a twist just because we don't do that anymore .. fortunately.
Slavery was also permissible historically. So was marital rape. So was banning women from work. So was sacrificial ceremonies. Interesting isn’t it a modern authors criticise them all but only choose to glorify perophilia. Just like you are
Also the age of marriage varied between culture. For heavily patriarchal and religious cultures, young girls as early as 9 indeed were married off. They still are to this day. However much misinformation exists to the age of marriage in a lot of Western European history which is what most of these manhwas are based on. The underclass and ‘poorer’ population did not marry of teens to men 10 years older. The age of marriage for both men and women was actually very close and in their early 20s. Wealthier people had more varied age gaps because of families wanting to form unions, connections or promising their unborn children to each other. It was mostly younger girls affected, but it could also mean a younger boy having to marry an older woman.
How long ago was long ago? You often hear people saying their mother met their father at 15 and 30 in 1990 say. Are you saying 30 years was a ‘different time’? The reality is, you are coping, as many people are. You enjoy this ship, clearly, and others, don’t want to acknowledge the sheer number predatory men that exist, who to this day would date or marry much younger girls if given the chance.
There is nothing historically accurate about this story. It is the author’s wet dream to have this all powerful male lead who’s feared by everyone and is absolutely in love with a girl 7 years or more younger than him who he can’t even imagine drinking alcohol. Who he met and became infatuated with at 10 or 11. Get real
Are we reading the same story? I did not see ML lusting after any children. Pedophilia where? I just see an age gap.
History was shitty but it doesn't get any better if we pretend it wasn't. Let's stop judging fiction the same way as we would real atrocities. I dont mind putting fictional characters through the wringer.. that's what stories are for.
He met her when she was 10 and clearly fell in love with her before she reached adulthood. Read it again yourself, I’m not falling for glorified misogyny and pedophilia
You don’t need to jump hurdles to justify random shit authors created for no real purpose by slapping fiction on it. In fact, the story plot line would not be different if she was actually closer to his age. The author just decided their male lead would be magnificently better if his love interest was a child he watched grow up. My words aren’t going to deserialise this shit. If you enjoy it, good on you. Clearly he’s hot enough that it makes you want to overlook it
You must be fun at parties.
What did you expect when you saw my username
At least you are self-aware. I respect that.
Story is getting blocky and choppier like there’s no smooth flow. Interactions are also short each chapter and bouncing between characters. Shame
Perhaps because it’s an illegal site LOL
No, I’m also reading originally
There’s having been in love and therefore being devastated and hurt and unable to cope. Then there’s this spineless bullshit of licking a man’s feet even after he tells you he doesn’t love you
This might have topped the rage metre for me
Could have made the female lead horny freaky in the very least less than whatever ‘I don’t know anything what’s happening!’ mess she is now. Then the threesome would be so much better. I don’t care that virgins exist technically they’re virgins too. FUCK IM TIRED OF THIS SHIT
He rapes her. I’m guessing it’ll happen again and again when she visits that room. I just can’t see myself reading this if the author tries to make a romance out of it in the end. Shitty
The rape was so shitty but she is his wife
No offence but " The rape was so shitty but she is his wife " kinda sounds like there's some justification
This is exactly why I read some of the comments and immediately knew this story wasn’t for me. You’re all excited because she’s his wife? Great. Women should be in pain and abused because men marry them, you’re pro-marital rape. God this shit pisses me the fuck off
People that think rape isn't a thing once two people are married loll
What wdym???
The one story I find in a while that I’m like mm, likeable, and it’s 5 fucking chapters.
Pretty sure I read another story with the same artstyle. Does anyone remember?
Old Clothes Collection Bin of Love
Maybe my frontal lobe has developed well. I can’t bring myself to read it anymore. It feels like the sex is being done to the woman, she’s overly sensitive, always asking the ML to slow down or that it’s too much as he’s amazingly calm, the fl is on the verge of behaving as if she’s not actually enjoying it and occasionally asks to stop (the pattern across most manhwas). Rarely do we have a fl enjoying it as much as the ml, or actively involved, or asking for more rather than less
Rarely do we have a controlled fl, it’s a boring pattern to be fair that also exists in yaoi (ones overly sensitive and sobbing the other isn’t)
I guess a buck load of people view sex as a dominating thing. Frankly it isn’t that serious, this manhwa is cute, but just my two cents. It’s *dull*, like you read it and say “Ah this again” especially for straight manhwas. And if the fl is ever ‘domming’, she’s usually abusive and breaching consent. It does send a subtly poor message, the main one being, showing how female leads wants sex with the male lead without actually showing they’re openly enjoying it. Cant happen apparently
Not to mention the intensity of their reactions when their boobs are touched. I’m sure it feels nice….but come on now. Considering it’s female authors, I suppose I expected more.
Even the best of them I see people recommend looks like borderline assault if you close one eye. “No stop! Not there! It’s too much! No!”
You perfectly pointed out almost everything that makes me end up dropping straight smut stories.. so with that being said do you have any recs with a FL who isn’t all those things that isn’t a femdom ?? ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
"iT fEeLs LiKe mY mInD iS gOiNg bLaNk", sweety it's been gone.
our team is last place anyway, gobbling the goblin, what a girl wants, my fantasies are cumming to life, ideal recipe, man with ghosts, payment for the ride
Thank you angel ♡
Bruh all smut stories are like this. Theres so many over used tropes like doomed yuri and overtly heteronormative BL. But if you want good smut stories you have to look in the psychological genre I liked rusty quadrilateral but it’s a bit… much also merry psycho. It has problems but it’s okay.
Yea I can’t argue with that.. I do actually love the psychological genre for a while that’s the only genre that really held my interest, still probably holds it the most but gotta break it up here and there lol. I was really sad Rusty Quadrilateral was so short I loved it & Merry Psycho has been on my to read for a while I’ll have to start it soon. I finally picked up and devoured flowers are bait right when the season ended and need more ╥﹏╥
I couldn't put my finger on it you said it perfectly
All that yearning isn’t going to make him a better candidate.
Yeah, the other guy barely showed up but looks way better
