People expecting normal behaviour from a man literally bred for fighting an overpowered evil by his own father. Anyway he won't let MC go now that he's said something so beautiful to someone so bleak. To consider him a human when no one else does must have really punched his heart.
Just use the novel translation as a reference and credit it when you can't figure out words at all.
Did you some of you just forget he is a literal assassin? Still rooting for him though.
Assassin or not, Kotaro hasn’t done anything (yet) to deserve to be killed. We’re screaming because Satoko would not be happy if Kotaro is dead and she’ll dump Shinpei’s ass. It’s in his best interest to not kill him.
tbh assassin> rapist its different
For real though
Don't believe her Etienne. For all you know his brothers were good people and cared about him and never would have hurt him. You and the ML have a great bond despite everyone else thinking you both want to hurt each other. Best not to believe someone like her over her actual victim.
What did she expect that after she killed his family he'll just step aside and let their deaths be in vain by letting her and her family rule and destroy his family's legacy. He probably thought that once he was emperor he could manage her but she turned out to be even more evil and raped him.
My god that small art of him crying while she does it is so sad. Never thought I'd feel so bad for his dad but damn.
Korean sites are too strict about English translations so most of Korean BLs aren't even picked up by translators in fear of retaliation. But look at how far danmei has come because of fan translations. It's popular all over and getting officially published in English.
Only talking about novels!
I know Naver and Kakaopage (but anyone who knows anything about Kakaopage knows that company is f*cking insane. Can't buy raws legally overseas nor can you even access R15 works) are strict but most Ridibooks projects don't get C&D'd, at least that I know.
On the other hand, KR MTL is much more painful than CN MTL. So, there's that factor too.
The comment section is so boring now a days. I read the Korean raws and the comments there are so much more funny even if I have to translate them.
Maybe I'm the only one but I enjoy these fucked up relationships. I read these and the sweet ones and the "non-problematic" ones. And I enjoy them all. Just like I enjoy horror movies where all the characters die and I enjoy romcoms with happy ever afters.
This is it's own sub genre in romance. In all kinds of romance hetero or otherwise. A lot of people like these tropes. The amount of urban fantasy novels that have fucked up dynamics and their readership will attest to that.
And these readers know about consent. About what is healthy. And they still like to read about fucked up relationships. Because it is something that can only be enjoyed in fiction.
Don't mind this comment. I'm not saying people aren't allowed to comment how they hate the ML and the tropes. It just gets boring to see the same stuff repeated over and over when people don't even go and read the sweet ones.

bro i completely agree with this statement
I love this story so much. And forget about Luka and his uncle, the hot one is Judith. So pretty, so beautiful. I feel like hugging her would be the most warm experience in the world. Her character gives off that vibe. Also that scene where the the three of them turned to leave the party together was A++++. Reading this chapter was such a relief during exam stress.
It's just a minor pet peeve of mine. I really don't like the destined since childhood trope. Even if they don't exist in the original adaptations will forcefully add them. Especially prevalent in k dramas. Is it so difficult to believe that people can just meet and grow to love each other. Why this extra spice of they met in childhood and formed a connection thing every single time.
Like just why. It's become so overused that audience are starting to dislike it.
Same i love it at first but now its like, they keep using this destined since childhood and things makes sense chuchuchu and i got sick of it now :-:
I thought the same.
It's also totally irrelevant in this story because both already fell in love without even knowing about their past meeting.
So unnecessary ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I was confused bc this trope doesn’t exist in the novel, they’d never met as kids, and when I saw that I thought I had dementia
SAME
I mean, I DO have a poor memory but not to this point I think
I don’t hate it but it is getting a lil old cuz I’ve seen it too many times to the point where it’s jus a lil too much
yeah me too honestly glad someone else feels that way. Like... we don't need this shit bruh. Doesn't add anything to the story. I'd also argue that Aria being half noble is also unnecessary. Like the whole thing is that she does all this despite being a noble smh, but maybe it has to do with explaining her powers also...
The Uke is definitely a bad person before, though being a psychology student I do get how bad insomnia especially chronic can mess you up. But people the seme isn't some cookie cutter sweetheart either. Yes the Uke planted drugs at his house but that doesn't mean that he wasn't taking them or did everyone forget the part where he technically raped the Uke while he was on ecstasy. Himself was taking it and also fed Uke even more ecstasy to the point he overdosed and almost died. They were both enjoying that drug filled party. Of course the seme seems to have had his own personal journey and realised his mistakes. He even apologized to the Uke. But let's not act like the Seme is an angel. Both of them are complex characters.
As a bisexual girl I relate so hard. Had a crush on a girl for the first time in my life and at first I didn't even realize it. Like he said, I never ever thought it was a possibility. With girls especially there is already so much closeness and physical affection, it's hard to draw a line between typical girl behavior for yourself and that extra special feeling of a crush developing. To this day I haven't had the same intensity of feelings for another girl but what I felt for her was real.
Sexuality can be so much more complicated than just labels. There are people who have been attracted to one sex their whole life until they are to someone of the same sex. Sometimes it's just one person, sometimes it's the similar kind of person's. Sometimes people love both the sexes but only want to have sex with one. It can be so complicated for some people and so straightforward for others.
Exactly!! Sometimes I wish I was just straight
Sexuality is complicated. A while back I read a book called “understanding asexuality” and I one of the chapters the author mentioned how love and sex usually go hand in hand but are separate things. So even though it’s rare, you can fall in love with someone that does not match your sexual orientation, you are just not sexually attracted to them. Since I’m asexual, I’ve always thought about love and sex as separate things anyway, but it was a very interesting thought to me when I read that. Since most people think they have to have sex with the person they love, and the majority of the time that’s how it works. If you’re straight you fall for someone of the opposite sex and you’re also sexually attracted to them, but it can happen that you can be straight, fall for someone of the same sex and not be sexually attracted to them.
