the side story was ass- big bro was verbally, sexually, and physically abused/assaulted REPEATEDLY throughout the story. omegaverses w incest make no sense, most humans have a natural repulsion towards those who were raised w them (Westermarck effect). FURTHERMORE because they share parents their genes/pheromones would be so closely related that they probably wouldn’t even affect each other. big bro deserves better, not an abusive shitbag alpha (idc that he’s changed, he’s deadass abused his partner). also this might be a bridge too far but incest-asshat should trip on a knife or maybe off a cliff. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
he drugged her? i don’t care if it was “with her best interests in mind” HE DRUGGED HER- and moments before she hit the floor unconscious- he professes his love?? what the fuck?? go fuck yourself bud. she’s an incredibly intelligent woman surely you could just- TELL HER WHAT THE FUCK IS GOIN ON and she could understand. and then she’s immediately like “oh well- he does need my help :3 imma take this stupid necklace as collateral” BABE HE ROOFIED YOU
in chapter two when ryu and masamune were eating desserts and masamune brings out the can of whipped cream and ryu goes feral for it I immediately think of whippets lol. nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is incredibly effective as a propellant and pressurizing agent, but it can also (unfortunately) get you high and is easily accessible (in small quantities). imagining ryu/masamune taking whippets makes me *exhale/laugh through my nose.*
this goes without saying, BUT.. don’t abuse nitrous oxide folks. it’s shit for you, and shit for the environment, a high isn’t worth your health.

I cringe n basically skip kiyomori/kurehas relationship arc because- that bird raised him. it’s not a “kiyo was raised by other birds and then fell in love with kureha-“ nah that’s just straight up grooming, yeah? i hate that the switch couple is the most.. sus in terms of the basis of their relationship because that’s such a fun concept.
n’ i know the retort is basically “tHiS iS bL” or “ThIs IsNt ThAt BaD bC fIcTiOn” but let’s put this into perspective- if a child is raised under the impression that his adoptive “parent” will eventually be his lover, and that his adoptive “parent” NEEDS to have sex with this him at some point, is that not grooming? what does a child know? especially some kid born long before the internet. it’s a wild concept to me lol.
but such is the way of indulging in BL (￣∇￣")
Is it the same kinda plot found in dozens of other comics? yeah.
But the MC is cute and the plot is simple but entertaining. obviously she’s gonna get pampered and loved at her in-laws estate, as child MCs tend to be with this plot line, and it’s cute. a good brain cleanser, ya know? (づ￣ ³￣)づ
it reminds me of the phase most young artists have. i 100% had a phase like this growing up. the anatomy isn’t quite figured out and the faces are stiff and don’t quite match their heads. but it’s not just that, this art style just feels disingenuous. i saw a comment about this artist, allegedly, using pre-made art and tbh that makes sense. maybe that’s part of the problem
(〜￣△￣)〜 sucks that the story is boring too, a cool concept but poorly executed.
can you imagine the ecological effects of making cats locally extinct?? no predator means increased rodent populations, assuming relatively low-quality hygiene, disease probably spreads easily. rodents could carry/spread disease outbreaks further and expose people to new diseases. Rodents also chew/eat various materials and could threaten the structural integrity of buildings/ships. there’s also economic ramifications as rodents often eat/soil products/produce.
cats existed in that empire for a reason, and tbh even if they try reaaaaaaally hard, you’re not going to be able to eradicate cats. they’re hella good at repopulating lol. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
the ML is supposedly this high ranking IT fuckwad and he listened to RUMORS about his wife? no confirmed facts? no investigation? never even met the woman and immediately doused her in water?? he’s got the mental capacity of a 13 year old boy. i could tell this man “invest all ur money in *utter dogshit*” and if it was convincing enough he’d do it. the FL deserves better.
young Alfaes is the biggest asswipe of the series so far, and imo it’s kinda weird that he fell in love with someone who has the brain capacity of a child.
How has he changed? torturing yourself with guilt is not Growth*
bro why tf couldn’t i :,) thank you
time continuing to pass after centuries is crazy. and they’re just chillin, and probably STILL producing children, right? would this forest just *produce* children every so often? every few decades an exceptional person would emerge from the fairy forest? isn’t that so cool? ヾ(☆▽☆)
the whole lead up with the old ass Tako-ancestor, “nah it’s gentle, it’s ‘fluids’ have barely any aphrodisiac” we all know that ain’t gonna be the case when they get there.. rip MC ╮(￣▽￣)╭
i know this is “the plot” and actual world building is dogshit lmao. “making them into a female” and shit like “my female” is hella degrading imo. if anything in a world where ONLY the “feminized” men can have children wouldnt that mean the “female” men are WAY MORE VALUABLE? if anything the “females” should be given like- special right of way n stipends from the government or some shit. ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
this shit gets me so emotional (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
i love reading this but everytime she has those “moments” with her abusive brothers, and the “male leads” that are her only hope that i’m like “WAHHH ALL SHE WANTED WAS A FAMILYYYYYY SHE DOESNT EVEN WANT THESE MEN SHE JUST WANTS TO LIIIIIVE” no one FL should carry this much burden bruh. i mean shit even Ines and her blonde boytoy get to be happy in her third life (iykyk). but penny?? penny only gets misery upon misery upon misery, and no one to trust. what can her father do? really? whose gonna believe that the “long lost daughter” is part of some waco cult? i doubt i could’ve survived as long as she did, i would’ve offed mysef from the get go, or fled the country.
i get that royals have to be sensitive and wary but- SHE IS A SACRED FUCKIN BEAST why is it impossible to understand that SHE IS THE CAT?? Tbh if i was her i’d run tf away. obviously that won’t happen, and also where would she go? she’s a beautiful woman who’d probably get attacked (ik, gross) and as a cat she’s easy pickings for literally any other animal.
I hope the emperor like- idk tortures himself in guilt
ヾ(☆▽☆)
also- if i was her i’d be fuckin pissed. (ik this is a brain rot porn story but let me play pretend a bit) some pompous asshat KILLED me for my genes? bc hot?? hell nah, i'm either killin him (prob failing) or killin myself, bc nothing brings me more pleasure than seeing some “powerful” douchebag ACTUALLY get karma. (づ￣ ³￣)づ but that’s just imo
ok first of all, every character in this comic has severe trust issues stemming from dogshit parents. nora is/was abused n neglected, shuri was fuckin sold, her children lost both biological parents, the bitchboi prince has a mommy complex, i could go on.
aside from the mountain of therapy everyone needs…
this comic portrays the disgustingly wide gap between “commoners” and “nobles” in such a REAL way. also the sexism (ik it’s historically accurate) makes my modern self clench my fists. i def couldn’t be a noble in the traditional sense bc ain’t no way a man gonna tell me how to be. pompous asshats fr
shuri’s dead husband deserved a *more painful* death. i don’t care that he was sick n probably in pain. he deserved to be run over by a carriage. history tends to glorify horrible, horrible people and ig dead marquise is the same.
ik these sound like gripes, but i really like the story
Harada has a very interesting type of storytelling. I’m all for some good ol fashion “trauma” for character development and plot.. but there is no reason to include SO FUCKING MUCH CP. “it’s momos past” but why did it need to happen? it’s trauma porn.
It’s fetishizing and capitalizing off an incredibly real, and incredibly traumatizing situation that millions of children experience. It’s not sexy, it’s not funny. “oh wow momo is so strong for overcoming his trauma” but why exactly did momo need to have so much trauma just to end up with a possessive wolf-like bf? why expose a character to such levels of violence only to slap a “happily ever after” on it?
For what? To entertain? Why is there a panel of momo at like- 10 talking about how his client pisses in his mouth. why? that was not only written, but it was PROOFREAD, SENT TO PRINT, AND TRANSLATED.
ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
Reirin is the crown princes cousin. *sweet home alabama~* *the family tree is a wreathe~”
which. albeit, was normal at the time (hence why many people sharing “royal” bloodlines have clotting disorders n other inbreeding remnants OR have died out completely do to sterility n shit)
(づ￣ ³￣)づ but this is fantasy so i’ll ignore it.
I truly don’t even understand the plot point this copy and pasted villainess (short haired one) is gonna do bc the FL is basically invulnerable, has a batshit crazy fiancé, is acquainted w the empress, is friends w the crown prince, and has like a literal DEMON OF FIRE hosted within her body that she can quite easily tune into and blow the capital to pieces. and this villainess thinkin her lil plot gonna do anything? It’s her funeral
