This not having smut feels like a golfer getting his arm amputated. It just doesn't hit right.
I'm so looking forward to the moment Gjord painfully gets rid of the garbage juice sack that is Lister. He better bring his head to Sylhan and let him stomp on it. ^^
Lysbeth, girl, you're made up of the same fabric as your shit brother Lister. Like, she knows how he treats Sylhan, yet she's ready to marry them off just so Sylhan can be enslaved, yet again, by that tyrant. I don't think it's about Sylhan losing the slave status or helping him, but rather, controlling him. She doesn't want Sylhan to recollect his memories of wanting to build the bridge, probably even of his ambitions as a former lord... Maybe because whatever he was planning wasn't in favor of her own house. Whatever it is, as much as she seemed to respect and help the MC, she's not trustworthy... Politics are ugly like that.
The dynamic between Sylhan and Gjord is haaaaawttt, a bad boy strong knight who fought his way to the top just to serve the love of his life and avenge him after he's been betrayed... I'm sure his mania was inflicted, the question is who and why. I'm sure Sylhan was a lord others despised because of his intellect, ambition, and probably strive to conquer, so he has many enemies. Wouldn't be surprised if it was Lysbeth herself lol, but it might not be as obvious.
Bruh, I left this to marinate and initially liked it a lot, wtf happened...? Oh well, second couple had a hot fuck. Aaand tbh, now I'm starting to think waiting for the second couple is more worth while than whatever the first couple is... Dark romance and shit? But the tying to the bed? The manipulation fueled by obsession that the ML displays? Dunno, it's not cute, it's just unhinged lol
Lmao... And the second couple isn't dark romance and manipulation??
It is, it just makes more sense and is more interesting.
One of my faves now comes out with an omegaverse side... I feel blessed, well fed, well fucked, well taken care of. The yaoi gods have mercy
HERE HERE!!
Rereading this because Beom has better communication skills than 90 percent of men in BL.
Also, daddy tops make me feel like it's worth surviving another day
What a cool concept (it's so hot to see an alpha in rut who is being held and had the instinct to imprint the person fucking him), beta × submissive alpha is a trope I wanna see more of, especially in a longer format.
I used to self harm a lot and the 'what are you doing to my property' cracked me the fuck up because how troublesome is it when you want to self harm in peace, but someone else has claimed you lmfao.
Jokes aside, it's kinda crazy the author turned the BDSM into something so messy and yet again, BDSM was used to pave the way to the introduction of messy, mentally ill, obsessive characters that at the end, didn't even practice it and straight up just functioned through their obsessiveness and extremely disordered attachment. Now, one could say this is also a form of BDSM (the ML literally sees the MC as his property and the self harm - as disobedience) that transcends roleplay, but one could also call this toxic attachment cause it's not BDSM play anymore, not even 24/7 play imo.
I'm kinda glad this ended lol
im kinda fucking with thid attachment style tbh... it just got messier and messier and i liked the build up leading to a breaking point
I hear you, it's my guilty pleasure trope tbh. But I wish it could be explored deeply and not just as 'hey they kinky so they broken'. But the kink adds spice to it, it's easier for authors to write it that way
