It's so obvious the MIL arranged that disaster with the dad's seal being stolen. Right after MIL says she can help any problem for a price, a terrible problem happens right away? She obviously caused it. I don't know why the author never bothered to address she did it, or make her apologize for causing the problem. Instead she only apologized for the price she charged for fixing it.
Eh, I don't like the dad, but I'm not that upset by that volume
So Owen was planning to abuse his child and hurt his partner for 3 years because he could make a new timeline where they wouldn't know they'd been abused. He's trash.
I love this story. Great fluff moments, great action, and it's not slow and boring like many action/ coup stories are.
Why can't they just use the secrecy spell on employees, instead of forcing the main character to get slaves?
Good point.. but didn't secrecy still be broken if they are fired? Anyways I like the idea that all slaves get a second chance to redeem themselves and still get respected if they don't want to ammend to their master wishes (sleeping with him/her)
Plot explanation: "Helen" keeps getting flashbacks to bring kept as a sex pet by a priest when he was young before the priest abandoned him. This probably happened when he was in an orphanage, but that wasn't specified in the plot. He now has a fear of being alone. He broke into the mafia's place to get meth. There he was captured and kept as a sex pet again, but he's insecure about his place because he was once abandoned. When they start out in Macau China, he was often left with Philip as a sort of sex pet daycare situation while his master did his mafia job work shifts. Then they went on a business trip together and stayed in an apartment together, where they were spending more time together. "Helen" opened the window even though the sun instantly burned him severely because of his albinism so he could feel like he's with people. The burns were so severe he got a fever, and he's already mentally unstable, and his master said they'd have to return from the trip to their original meeting place in Macau China, so in the funk he panics his master is leaving him and tried to leave his master before being abandoned. When he got caught running away he tried to kill himself so he can't feel lonely anymore. In the end both master and "Helen" realize they are both fond of each other & mentally broken and dependent on each other.
Wait wait wait when did the scene for the past of the uke happen??? Idk if I missed it huhu
I agree with Puppy, a person shaped like a dog should have a different lifestyle than a dog has
This has philosophical discussions of race, theology, justice, diversity, etc. But it also has a normal school plot and growing friendships. The most fun literary Fantasy I've ever read.
Dare i say it has better worldbuilding and dicussions of race and magic than harry potter
The mother and father suck. Abandoning your child for a decade when they haven't done any crime or evil? Awful parents. Like I get abandoning a kid who murdered your other kids or something extreme but this is just awful with no excuse.
It was more of the father because he was traveling
