Man, people always hates the one whos not fcking the mc in a manwha, but literally the seme is way worse than him in so many ways. Like yall keep saying twinky is about to do some crazy shit but seme literally already did.
I enjoy every single character in this manwha. Theyre all giving batshit crazy depresssed dystopian survivor vibes. Nobody stays kind in a fucked up world after all. I love the whole vibe of this manwha. I just wish they wont end up glorifying the rape. Like let it be more of a stockholm syndrome vibe where mc hates seme but cant live without him anymore. Or mc just ends killing him at some point. The plot is already good, but itll become stale once they add romantic cute vibes to it. The problem with rape in the story isnt really the rape, cause its fiction after all, but the way its usually portrayed. If youre gonna write fcked up shit better keep it fcked up till the end and dont do a switcharoonie and suddenly make it seem like rape is romantic.

Yeah, like in all honesty, rape in bl has always been used in a weird way. Rape isnt a start to some sunshine and rainbows plot, its a start to some real fuvked up psychological sht. And even the real fcked up plots always ends in romance. Like ive seen a lot psychological horror bls that end in such a disappointing way.

Fr like I signed up for some dark shit, not some guys twirling their toes together on a beach at sunset looking deeply into each other's eyes. And with rape or sexual assault or emotional abuse I've seen it so much in bl that I'm not even phased nor surprised it's there. I do enjoy the character developments but I'm lowkey tired of seeing happy endings. Some stories like Waterside Night I feel are more fitting for that happy ending but something like this doesn't need one. Especially with the deteriorated mental state and psychotic nature of the characters

I grew up thinking that having a soulmate is so romantic, the feeling of two souls finding one another in each lifetime, having love that transcends time and space is like hella romantic, but its just not how stories portray soulmates anymore. Like bl mangas and manwhas rarely portray soulmates in a romantic way. In all honesty, its rarely portrayed that way anymore. Its always just this uncontrollable lust towards each other. Like the undeniable pull is supposed to be because your souls will always remember and love one another even when you dont remember your past lives. Why cant they write it like that in omegaverse as well, like make fated pairs mors romantic and shit.
The more i read this, the more i think that emperor just kinda want Rishar to be as miserable as him. He wants Rishar to take the same route as he did, even though he's hella miserable right now? Like hey why dont you betray your adopted brother like i did with my own brothers and marry someone for power just like i did? Like sir, are you lowkey mad at Rishar cause his father fucked the omega you want? In all honesty, isnt he actually just using Rishar so he can one up empress? Also kinda feels like he's tryna dictate Rishar's life cause he wants to own at least a part of his omega crush. Like even Rishar isnt fooled. He knows he was creeping on his omega dad and it doesnt really feel like Rishar likes the emperor. He lowkey hates him, especially with the way he treats Etienne.
that's what made me more upset about him coz he's a huge hypocrite. He also exhibits the same selfishness that etienne's mother have. His though is covered by fake sympathy
Yeah. Tbh, he's just got the victim mentality. Everything that happened to him was ultimately his fault. He loved someone but didnt pursue them cause Rishars omega father had a commoner background. He didnt missed out on love, he purposely abandoned it for power. He married the empress, but the moment his name was attached to her family, he decides to abandon her. In a world where an omegas value and power is attached to the people they marry and the children they produce, he was like yeah i aint gonna sleep with you, i already got what i want. If the empress didnt rape him, she would have been the victim in their situation. Abandoned and ignored, someone who outgrew their usefulness left to rot in one corner of the palace, while the emperor continues to pathetically dote on a married omega. Welp, unfortunately for him, she's batshit crazy.
And the worse part is the way he acts like he cares. I care for Etienne, i did everything for him, i clothed him and fed him, but he sided with the empress, hes already been brainwashed. Like boy, didnt Rishar try to tattle to you and you were like hmm yeah the empress is just doing her job, he needs to learn, hes the prince after all. Even with Rishar, he keeps putting him on the spot, trying to force him in the middle of his power struggle with the queen. Like sir, that man has zero respect for you. Like there was one flashback of Rishar where he got creeped out by the emperor cause of the way he was looking at his dad. He doesnt even wanna come back to the palace if he didnt meet Etienne. Like even before the Etienne mistreatment, he already hates the emperor.
People around him knows that hes just a pathetic asshole. The emperor just somehow deluded himself into thinking that he's the victim. He dont even care about his brothers, hes just afraid the empress will kill him as well, but he keeps using their death as a way to make people symphatize with him. Like what a loser.
