To be honest I feel so bad for the king because he is not exactly a villain or even a bad guy. He has a massive inferiority complex and that makes him act like a douche sometimes but otherwise he's a genuinely funny and endearingly awkward character (Kenneth and Brandon obviously respect and admire him, plus their interactions are so informal that you can tell he's not arrogant or pompous or looks down on them, and Arthur clearly loved him as a child.) Even the fact that he's trying so hard with Charlotte while clearly having no clue about how to actually court a woman would be a cute quality under different circumstances. But it all comes back to that inferiority complex and the obsession that stems from it. It devours him and all the good things he has go down the drain. I actually liked him more than I did Arthur originally because while Arthur is the perfect suffered hero, the king has an actual personality and I liked the stupid way in which he approached Charlotte all arrogant only for her to shot him down and proceed to bicker. Mich more interesting than the insta-love of Arthur. But man, he's killing all his chances.

    Okay...
    If oppressing someone else bc of your own inferiority complex, or trying to force your crush into marrying you, doesn't qualify you as a bad guy then how about:

    1. Deliberately and continously sending someone you dislike off to war, hoping they would be killed or at least suffer.
    2. Trying to seize the wealth and title of one of your own subject (who has done nothing to deserve it), by underhanded means.
    3. Threatening someone into submission by taking their sister's life hostage.

    Ramsay/Theron is clearly a bad guy at this point in the story. He may get a redemption arc later, but until then I am NOT rooting for him.

    I'm not saying he's a good person by any means. But not being a good person doesn't make you a villain. I mentioned his inferiority complex makes him act as a complete douche to Arthur but other than that, where are his villainous qualities?
    1 - You mentioned how he sends Arthur to dangerous missions hoping he dies. Yes, that's messed up. But he has a henchman and several undercover people, and yet he hasn't had Arthur assassinated or tried to actually kill him (that we know of). Even when he saw Arthur all chummy with Charlotte and he got pretty crazy with jealousy (so much that he started harassing her with all the letters) he still did not try to harm Arthur or punish him in any extra way.
    2 - You mentioned he tried to seize the assets of one of his subjects and I won't touch on that, because kings and people in power do it all the time. It's nothing new. Is it an asshole move? Yes. But again, you can be an asshole without being a villain. Also, I feel obliged to mentioned that they were trying to scam Albert originally, not Charlotte. The only reason why it bothers us is because we know Charlotte and like Charlotte. If it had happened to Albert we wouldn't even be sorry. Just something to consider about standards.
    3 - Your last point about holding his sister's life hostage is the only thing I would agree it's pretty Villain-like, but I still feel obliged to point out that nobody is morally obligated to save a person they have no connection to. Obviously you should if you could, but it is not an obligation. That's what separates a good person from the average. If you take your cue from the flashbacks, Arthur and Ramsey's family broke long before this sister came into the scene, so she's virtually a stranger to Ramsay. They share blood but in this story that's clearly not very significant when it comes to relationships. He's not obligated to help her, and again, he's not really harming her (he didn't cause her disease or it's aggravating it in any way, that we know of). She is sick and she needs his help and the decent thing to do would be to give it since it doesn't appear to be harming HIM at all. But Ramsay is not a good person. He's an average douchebag with an inferiority complex. He's the person who would charge you for the medical equipment you need and if you didn't have money let you die, except that in this case, the money Arthur is paying is his loyal and willingness to do Ramsey's dirty work. Again he is not a good person, and if you're not rooting for him then more power to you. I never said you should. He's clearly in the wrong in the way he's approaching things, and the more he acts this way the worse it will be. I'm just sad that that's the end he seems to be precipitating towards, because he is, when it comes to possible MLs far more of an interesting choice than Arthur.

    I agree with you that he might not be a straight up villain, but he is a bad person and I stand by that opinion bc of the reasons I listed.

    I can empathise with his backstory and inferiority complex, but I don't believe that it excuses his actions. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

    I haven't said otherwise. In my opinion, it's actions rather than intentions that define a person, so I agree there is no excuse. I just feel bad because he is a victim of circumstance almost as much as Charlotte or probably even more. He had a shitty father and shitty step-father and their influence ruined his entire life. He is in the brink of being an irredeemable character but he can still turn back. I don't think he will though, because the only one who could save him and help him see the error of his way (Charlotte) is in love with someone else (Not saying she cannot be, she has the right to love or not love whoever she wants, just talking from Ramsay's perspective).

There is no question that Medea was more warped by their upbringing than Dekis, but she is by no means unfeeling. She cared about Psyche and Heli and her nanny too, so I don't think her attitude towards Dekis who also loved her would be much different. I'm thinking she had an ulterior plan against her father all along and Dekis simply misunderstood her attitude, or she purposely got him out of the way by leading him to abandon the household since she wanted to bring the entire thing down and Dekis's kind personality would interfere with that vs Medea who is just plain ruthless.

I have to say, little Riku crying in his bed because he thought Mashiro didn't like him anymore since she didn't give him chocolates is the most adorable thing in the world and I swear I kept staring at the panel for like 30 minutes.

This, Gakuen Babysitters, Maou-mama, Love so Life, Sweetness and Lightning... Man, Japan is really going to out of their way to encourage their population to reproduce, aren't they? It won't work. Kids aren't this cute in real life. Stop lying

    Im a nursery teacher, and I can say that they arent all the time, but the times they ARE this cute are def more. Hahaha the kids in my class would actually be facinated by kawai sensie face rather than cry

Our cinammon roll tsundere demon just gets cuter and cuter, doesn't he?

arebg452 June 24, 2021 4:08 pm

I get why people are frustrated, but honestly, knowing their evolution as a couple conflicting schedules is the ONLY problem I can see them having at this point. Shizuma would never cheat because he knows the pain of it first-hand, and Minato is too possessive to let go first, he would need Shizuma to either ask for it or do something unforgivable, which hello, our contender for best seme in the world would never do. Minato is wealthy and self-employed so he can choose his own hours. If Shizuma also had a very accommodating workplace that lets them meet often there would be absolutely no conflict and the story would stagnate. It's what happened to Shouhei and Itsuki. Their story ended because there is no more conflict to be had between them. And besides, I kind of like that his job is troublesome, because it will force Minato to take an active roll. Because of his character and the way his mother treated them, Minato is convinced that the way he loves is toxic, and will eventually drive his loved ones away. So he hates showing weakness or dependency of any kind and he's not fond of looking vulnerable in front of Shizuma. He's clingy but always with the underlying pretense that he can walk out at any moment and be just fine and dandy. He plays tough and independent and hard to get but its always a defense mechanism in case people DO leave him. How he's handling the moving in business is proof of it. He totally wants to move in, but he acts picky and reluctant and forces Shizuma to try to convince him because he needs to be sure that he has his lover's attention and it's always the first priority. Knowing Shizuma, work is the only thing that could keep him from prioritizing his partner. It will force Minato to confront his own insecurity. He will need to be honest with himself that he does want to spend his life with Shizuma, even if it means he will not be always the priority and be 100% secure in his position. It will force him to grow and work for it instead of leaving all the heavy lifting to his lover.

I knew this was gonna happen sooner or later with her hiding so many things from him. I just hope she will tell him everything in the next chapter. Hades is THE best ML of all the manhwa I've ever read and he doesn't deserve how Aisha has been deceiving him all this time. Please talk, please repair your relationship, please give me back my fluff

arebg452 June 13, 2021 6:10 am

Does the uke improve at all? Right now I'm on chapter 8 and I'm having trouble stomaching just how stupid and childish he is. I can see there are some traces of a trouble past but the way he keeps shirking the responsibility for his own actions an playing the victim as if the world owes him something is really getting on my nerves. The comments in here don't seem to love him much either, so I guess I just want to know if it's worth it to stick to this or if it's going to get worse from now on?

    Shouldn’t read regardless, this story sucks

    Babybabe June 13, 2021 6:17 am

    Yepps he do, but if you still don't feel like reading it then don't force yourself coz you might misunderstood hyesung(● ̄(エ) ̄●)

    mafuyu June 13, 2021 9:35 pm

    he gets better, but if you don't like him from the get-go you probably just won't like him period. i love hyesung but i'm also fully aware he acts very bratty lol. his backstory adds tho

    - 3 - June 15, 2021 11:32 pm

    Uhh idk if you’ve finished this story yet but all I can say is that a lot of characters get character development. This is worth reading, as for why Hyesung is like that I guess he would’ve been more kind and gentle but he’s traumatized about something that happened in his past so you’ll soon get to that part. He’s still stubborn but not so much in the chapters near the end, since he thought of himself as a high alpha until now with the shock that he’s a omega probably crushed some things that he thought about. You shouldn’t read the story if your extremely annoyed about Hyesung but he’ll get better.
