Damn….I think these manwhas might be ruining real dicks for me lol
…I think I’ve found my line- it’s scheming/fake bullshit. I can forgive the worst f-ing semes, as long as they’re open about their shitty-ness and make real character development but people like this dude are irredeemable to me. Damn, the art is fucking next level though! (I was simultaneously cursing and saving all the pictures lol)
Guys, this art is freaking *chefs kiss*! I bow down to whoever is translating this because I’m already hooked. I need more of that pretty, suspicious as F male lead lol
Bro, I read FUCKED up shit, like I probably need therapy, but this one just made me kinda uncomfortable (not in a good way), I think it’s mostly because the tone did not match the context. Like aside from just (almost) every character being weirdly hostile to him, Nolan himself and the general tone of the webtoon seemed to hate him as well lol I like irreverent, dark humor, I like complicated, psychopathic characters and angsty stuff, but it can be hard to do right- you have to give your darker elements the respect their due or you have be intentional. Even though I had high hopes, 2/3 of the way through I can’t say I really like it.
SPOILER:
Even trying to view Nolan through the lens of someone who has been victimized and blackmailed, his behavior is complexing=he can teleport. Like let that settle in, he CAN TELEPORT, I literally was just silently yelling at my screen constantly: “JUST TELEPORT AWAY!”. Not only can he teleport but he has a super strong backer that not only has the will but the means to protect him; his boss didn’t even know where he lived, all he had to do was stay home, but he went to him willingly and didn’t teleport away. I don’t know his behavior seems designed to screw him over the most, whether it makes sense or not.
And then you have the overall tone of the manga which, again, just seems designed to laugh at his misfortune. Like there’s a graphic non-consensual double penetration scene, you see it tearing and blood coming out, it’s…. not great, it didn’t make me feel great to see it, but the way the act was written and the way Nolan’s expressions/inner thoughts were portrayed- it didn’t read like a violent gang rape, it read like him admonishing a “overbearing” seme. Even in the next panel, you have walking with the silly “wiggly legs” and he’s all “I’m going to have to lie in bed for a week, those silly gooses!” (Not verbatim). I honestly, couldn’t keep reading at that point because I just felt so uncomfortable lol
In defense of Nolan because I really felt bad for the dude.. his teleportation skill is really limited and he's really weak. He'd get caught sooner or later. His boss probably knows where he lives if he knows every person info about Nolan. Plus, can you trust Evan? Nolan's fear is legit and the hero organisation seems like your average government institute as in they're not that competent, there are corruptions, at the very end they don't think much of Nolan (even threatened him).
Dang, I even forgot the Uke is pregnant with his child and still acting like that after he realized it was all misunderstandings, mental health issues and amnesia. Like the gong hurt him, but it was unintentional- he thought he died AND had amnesia, but the uke is literally using his unstable mental health, his guilt and his affections just for some stupid revenge plot that doesn’t even make sense anymore. How is he the righteous victim again?
The gong watched his mate be gravely injured as a child, had his family threatened by the Uke’s and was so devastated from his “death” he developed amnesia from his deteriorated mental state. After that pivotal trauma, he told everyone he didn’t want a mate but people kept trying to trick and use him so he developed a myriad of unhealthy and toxic coping mechanisms. Only to find out the uke was not only alive, but had been lying about his identity this whole time, and is now purposely using that trauma and unresolved feelings to ruin his life. People can disagree but at least the seme was upfront about his shittery, I find the Uke’s manipulation of the seme’s feelings, disregard for his mental health issues and deliberate attacks using his weakness worse.
(Dude, he even held a meeting with him to rub it in his face, that he bought the Gong’s childhood home where they met, just so he can demolish it. I just don’t get it, if you don’t want to be with him then don’t, the Gong’s not bugging him, why continue trying to destroy him for what has already been cleared up? This Uke’s a b*tch.)
I was gonna went in the comments and am so glad I found this cause I don't need to type it all
I mean 29 chapters in and I’m also wondering if Mr. Woo is gay or not… lol
Seriously, the son is almost worse! At least the dad is a open about he fact that he’s a scummy tyrant, the son on the other hand keeps acting like the f-ing victim, while blaming and lashing out at the uke- THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS ZERO CHOICE IN THE MATTER. “I can’t forgive you for having an affair with my dad and killing my mom, you deceived me!” Bro, do you really think the kid who’s been essentially a slave since childhood is the one responsible for their dynamic?! God, he’s even a coward on top of everything else.
Ugh, the f-ing son keeps coming back and creating problems that only Yeonho will suffer the consequences for….
Actually I think it would have been enough for uke to have talked about it with the son as soon as they were adults. Considering that the son was in the dark about everything, finding out about the relationship with his father while he is in love with Yeonho was certainly a big shock.
I wish I could say more but it's spoiler (I read the whole work)
Can you pls give me some spoilers
Tell me what you want to know and I'll send you a message (●'◡'●)ﾉ
Is the ending a happy ending?
Who is the end game? the father or the son?
I hope neither of them
Spoiler endgame
The son is the endgame,
Ty
Maybe…. But that’s putting an awful lot of responsibly on the literal sex slave, ya know. Like A) He’s a rape victim. And he has to live with his rapist….who’s the father…of the man he’s in love with. How would he even have that conversation? Lol B) I get feeling shocked but his FIRST reaction is to find the rape victim and blame them for, not only the affair, but his mother death? And then when he sees him again, he starts some jealous bullshit like he’s a jilted love rival!! That’s just too much, really. C) HE NEVER CONFRONTS HIS DAD! This whole time, he has only taken his feelings out on the Uke. Now, do I think it would be a smart move to confront his dad? No, he should have a plan for the long term, if he really wants to take Yeonho away. But the fact that he knows and his planning for that (hopefully) shows he could control his emotions perfectly well and chose to take his anger out on the rape victim. That’s some cowardly shish.
Honestly, they’re both “The woooooorst”. Actually, the dad’s a little hotter: he’s got that sadistic daddy thing going on and at least he’s honest about his intentions lol (I don’t stand by this statement, I hate them both hahah)
I never really feel convinced about love of Yeonho to the son. He left to school from an early age and maybe come back every summer and winter. Their interaction happened offscreen so I don't feel the vibe with their supposed romance. I just hope Yeonho can be freed from his father's debt, go live his life outside the manor.

I wish I could write more, but I don't want to spoil in the comments so:
1) in this Manhwa there is no communication between the son and Yeonho. Not only now but also later....Many facts could have not happened if the two had actually spoken (no spoiler)
And All the staff know about the affair, only the son is left in the dark.
2) I'm sorry to say, but the death of the mother partly as a result of the affair(partially but not completely)
3) Yes, that I agree.
But the problem is that still confronting the father, the result would only be expelled from the house and that's it. I can only say to wait for see what he does and what he thought..
I'm sorry but I hated the father from the beginning and after especially after several revelations (no spoiler here) haha
F-ing Jeha, YOU’RE THE ONE THAT’S GETTING MARRIED! Every time he goes on some pity party about Mong’s “true feelings” or making up some drama in his head (“is he in love with my brother?!”), I want to slap him upside the head- if you’re the one in the wrong, you are the one who has to put in the effort! The LAST THING I would do if the guy I was seeing I was getting married, would be act like I gave an F lol Like mongmong said I would say congrats, seduce his brother and bring his sister as my +1 to the wedding
Chapter 5: Woah, is this like a weird time loop where he’s went back in time and became the pervert emperor? Because, cool.
Sh*t…. I might be right..
Chapter 19; Damn, that psychological tag is really making an appearance. I mean, the implications, people. Just think about the implications?!
*Mild Spoilers*
God dayum! You think you’re in for some jealousy, an overbearing seme, maybe a little rape sprinkled in and then this mutherfucker starts beating him with a golf club and playing deadly hide and seek. This dude has got the trifecta of toxic semes- literal serial killer, rape-y, overbearing hot guy (I am a whore for Taegyeom!) and the “nice guy’ who covets and condones everything from the sidelines. This is going to be unsettling and I am here for it!
