this manga is over 20 years old- which is wild to think about.. the art style alone is very early-2000s (those body proportions LMAO), n the plot is pretty garbage tbh.
i’m DEADDDD- they meet n fuck for like 2 days n then BAM! marriage. literally no plot development- just porn.
╮(￣▽￣)╭ (not that i’m not complaining)
JUST TALK TO HER. Also, the FL is exceptionally dense which doesn’t help the situation. I’ve seen this “ml loves fl but doesn’t tell her bc xyz” but c’mon man. put the moves on her, give her a smooch, do SOMETHIN. （￣へ￣） maybe later chapters will have more meat, there’s less than 10 rn XD
the ML and alicia’s brother look so fucking similar i got spooked. also- yeah coercion isn’t consent. assault-to-love is a boring, bland, and frankly disgusting trope that i wish authors would drop (〜￣△￣)〜 it’s not just straight shit, BL has the same problem. Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
no. lol. maybe i just expect more actual PLOT from BL nowadays. the plot was very jumbled, I wasn’t ever really sure of what was happening.
its also really weird to see someone who was clearly not exposed to/knowledgeable about american culture and didn’t really do much research about the black experience/culture and gangs/crime in america write a story about an american prison. like- c’mon prisons are kinda what america is known for (the US has 22% of the worlds prison population, even though the US only accounts for like- 4% of the worlds population).
(づ￣ ³￣)づ
the rampant rape and sexual assault is also.. a choice. yeah prisons have rates of sexual assault n shit, but it felt like every other sex scene was noncon. most people in prison are working. like *actually* working (manufacturing, farming, maintenance), but these guys deadass just sat around n fucked each other. THEY EVEN HAD A PORNO THEATER?? IN PRISON??
bro this was in someone’s “wholesome father daughter/child mc” list.. WHY THE FUCK IS HE THE MALE LEAD?! there is SO MUCH that could’ve been explored. The first person who shows her love AND her “prince on a white horse” IS HER GUARDIAN??? BRO?? I GOT BAITED BY THAT LIST- FUCK!
(╬￣皿￣)凸
really hoping that the ml is the pink haired guy and not judas i’m still clinging to the last shred of reality
(last chap read 52) is our puppy dog ML the demon-thing our MC killed before transmigrating as Renée? the one that was like “blah blah i’ll make it so you NEVER LEAVE the tower blah blah”
Even before the dragon was like “yeah he’s a bug in the system” Cedins whole spiel about never being fulfilled even after gettin money/honor UNTIL MC appeared.. makes me think he is. he wasn’t just “looking for someone strong” he was looking for the *only* human who defeated him in his past life, yeah?
╮(￣▽￣)╭
If that would be the case it would leave a bitter taste for sure
yeahhh- but it might make for a fun/tragic enemies to lovers thing, yeah?
Nah..... I think I might flip the table if her ending was with the guy that gave her a trauma and had to die 58 times....
i hope shuuya kills him. but honestly- shuuya dying would hurt him more, right? let him think shuuya loves him only to slip out n die when he least expects it. fuck this vampire guy. “weh weh weh im immortal i crave life” bitch go get a farm. raise some cows.
ALSO, whats up w vampire stories n havin their “meals” be slaves? if vampires were real i guarantee you there would be millions of people who would fuckin LOVE to be fed upon. no need to enslave and torture them. there’s plenty of fuckin FREAKS who would love to die from blood loss after being eaten by a vampire.
That's why the humans become slaves tho?
Granted, the younger ones are normally forced to do it by their radical, vampire worshiping parents, but majority of the time they are fanatics themselves lol you see it actively happen in this series where people willingly give themselves up to Azure.
Vampires are apex predators, tho, so sometimes they go for the more reluctant prey to satiate their desire to hunt. It's like how cats can sustain themselves on cat food but still desire to hunt small animals and insects. It's in their DNA lol
they treat their “meals” like shit. even humans have developed more humane ways of handling livestock, why can’t vampires do the same?
well fed, healthy, and enriched livestock generally have better meat. i assume the same is for people. it’s dumb that these vampires give their meals pisspoor living conditions because that definitely impacts their blood quality. fear, anxiety, stress, etc all impact quality of life. cortisol levels, dopamine levels, serotonin levels, etc are in the bloodstream and i assume vampires can taste it. keeping their “livestock” healthy and happy would probably make vampires less “big bad evil” and more “yeah they’re just weirdos, but they treat their meals good”
But they are treated well lol
Azure rewards the people who give their lives to him and we see that during the one scene he gouges that one servant during an event. They are fed well and given material wealth for their servitude.
I also don't think that if you've got your mind set against being fed to a vampire that any sort of "comfortable living" will change your mind lol like, there's a reason why most of them are either complete fanatics or nearly comatose. You don't have to brainwash and manipulate a willing victim. For those less willing you have to treat them differently.
And tbh as much as you love to try and make it seem like there are millions of people willing to give their lives to a vampire, I don't think this is true lol humans value their own lives more than others. It's very rare that you come across someone who would genuinely give their life for another 'cause the fear of death looms over us. It's human nature to be afraid of the unknown.
Therefore, it isn't so far-fetched that vampires would have to resort to creating human livestock in order to eat properly. I think you're trying too hard to rationalize this shit when at the end of the day vampires are cruel, twisted individuals who have been rotted away from centuries of living. It's *why* a lot of series emphasize not wanting to turn their human lovers into the same thing they are. Immortal beings know how fucked it can be to be forced to live with a curse and no means of salvation.
Think outside the box a lil bit instead of trying to humanize something that hasn't been human in over a thousand years.
why do they gotta be cruel n twisted though? just don’t kill ur host, problem solved?
i enjoy thinking about n discussin stuff like this lol. posing one side and wanting to hear the other sides point. like a debate lol
seme is trash, the twins are trash, semes dad is trash.. all we’re missing is some secondary seme who tries to get in the way. *blergh*
the seme “excusing” the twins’ behavior and not defending his CRUSH(?!) made my blood boil. HE KNEW THEY WERE SAYIN THAT SHIT N HE DID WHAT?? NOTHIN! “i love you” NAH FUCK YOU, you manipulative piece of SHIT! chipping away at the ukes self esteem in such a formative time (puberty) would of course have lasting effects on his adult life. i wish the uke would’ve punched the fuck outta the twins and seme (again), and find another partner.
(╬￣皿￣)凸
literally what even? blondie is like “you promised, you’re mine” but then gets some sloppy toppy from some fanboy? “aRe YoU jEaLoUs” BITCH! what a double standard. if ur fuckin pet protege isn’t allowed to be near ANY MAN.. why you out here gettin head? THINK OF THE STDS BRUH.
blondie assaults MC, MC is like “damn he’s just traumatized ╥﹏╥.” BLONDIE FUCKIN ABDUCTS AND IMPRISONS MC, n the mc is like “this isn’t love uwu” N IMMEDIATELY FORGIVES BLONDIE when blondie does the bare minimum?? man if i was in this world i’d sit blondie down n be like “listen here shit for brains, boo fuckin hoo about ur mom. you have mommy issues, so do i, big whoop. you act like a god n shit while saying you despise your mother.. but you’re EXACTLY what she wanted you to be. the only reason why ur partner is with you is because he’s practically BRAINDEAD n lacks a backbone.” Harsh, i know but blondie deserves it. (〜￣△￣)〜
Real as hell girl, add a few slaps too and maybe a hit him with a steel bat.
Ohh? Something like this happened? The score is kinda high so I thought this will be good but I saw your comment and I really don't like stories when someone possessive with another person but them it's okay to have sexual relation to others.. it leaves a bad taste to me. So not gonna read this anymore
