the way kim dan is starting to like jae for no reason is SO FUNNY TO ME. u would think jae showed some redeeming traits at this point in the story, but all he’s managed to do is demonstrate how greedy/uncaring he to everyone, especially kim dan. dan has been sa’d, disrespected, shown no regard for, taken advantage of because he’s poor, etc.; but i can’t believe all dan saw was jae’s work ethic and got all soft from that like bro’s standards are in hell im cryinggg
before y’all come for me saying “sTOp reADiNg iT ThEn” you are allowed to criticize the media you consume!! this story is similar to a train that’s on fire, heading towards a meteorite. it’s so bad that i cant look away and want to see how it ends alright <3
idk why but honestly it's hilarious that it was just thrown at us
100% agree
NOT THE PICTURE TITLE CHANGING AND CH 74 SHOWING A DARKER SIDE JIWOON??? BROOOOO IT CHANGES THE WHOLE MEANING BEHIND SUHA’S FACIAL EXPRESSION AND BODY LANGUAGE WITH THE DIRECTOR
i really like how junipe doesn’t get super stressed or overthinks about how the story has changed. like there’s a lot of isekai where the mc gets anxious about the storyline going off track, but junipe is taking responsibility for what she changed and sticks around rather than tries to run away/be distant
Omgg....it should be thumbs up..hehehe
ash has trauma yes, but he’s still his own person. he didn’t like to be sexualized by old ass, pedophilic men who preyed on people. sexual abuse does not define him. ash bragged about the girls who liked him, and doesn't mind comments that he’s sexy/hot or desirable by people. y’all are making it seem like individuals who have been through SA are incapable of having safe, consensual sex or cannot find themselves attractive
ik it’s annoying when fl suddenly gets distant after making the ml get attached, but i think her reasoning for leaving is important because it has to do with her sister’s life. if the novel goes back on track it would guarantee her sister’s safety. not to mention i would freak out too if one of the other ml (crown prince) suddenly appeared out of nowhere too in my house, where i thought was safe from the important main characters.
did they really just pass over the fact that jace was drugged and raped?? the author drew those scenes to explicitly show how scary that scene was. so it does not make sense at all how they brushed off what happened... and the fact that the duke/jace had sex literally one scene after he was sexually abused does not sit right with me. i understand if they did it for the sake of jace feeling relieved from the aphrodisiac, but the duke was not catering to jace’s needs and the timing of them getting together was so insensitive. plus jace did not acknowledge what happened after he woke up from his short coma, which im also confused about because of how traumatic it was.
YES! This!!! I feel like none of them acknowledge neither how badly the duke treated him before (shaming him, rape/non-con, leaving bruises) or how he was drugged and abused by the other guys. I mean, Jace is dumb, no question about it, but the duke is stupid too, believing Jace would want to jump into a relationship with him after all that.
Sometimes it feels like they show the effect of assault like when Jace, in pain and disheveled, told the kid they could go to the circus, or when he was trembling from fear and shame when feeling the effect of the aphrodisiac and told the duke he wasn't promiscuous (obviously traumatised from when the duke assaulted him saying it was okay since he would do it with anyone). But then in other instances it's like none of the trauma ever happened.
I didn't have a problem with the duke helping him when he was drugged at first, since it felt like he was doing it for Jace's sake, but it felt kinda disingenuous when he took advantage of the situation to get some dick action himself. Would have liked it more if he only focused on pleasing and helping Jace.
yea i agree with everything you said!! it’s understandable the duke helped him bc of the drug, but sex was not the way to go, given what JUST happened. sexual abuse shouldn’t push two characters to suddenly be together. like why did the duke go from disrespecting jace and having minor interest in him, to suddenly having romantic feelings and wanting to date him??
SHE LOOKS SO PRETTY WHEN SHES LAUGHING AND SMILING OMGBDNSK MY BIG BITTY QUEEN
imagine ur sister being a sacrifice in a beast-human marriage, but you take her place and have to handle the corruption within the dukedom and survive/tame a beast- while having to produce an heir with a “wolf”. her detached nature of birthing an heir ties in with astina trusting that the household will care and love the child (not all kids need their birth parents raising them to be happy/good children) assuming the duke remained a beast. what theo/astina have isn’t true marriage but a year-long contract to help theo have lineage- it was unexpected he would transform back.
i would say astina rejecting the duke’s affections before it blossoms (keep in mind he’s the one who told her that he can’t promise her his love or intimacy in ch 32) isn’t mean considering what she’s been through in her past life and present one now, as theo looks similar to her first love who ultimately betrayed her. she knows he’s not the king in the past but her character is known to be coldly level-headed and dignified. her words come off harsh so there’s no misunderstandings about her intentions and what she wants in people.
astina is nice, but doesn’t owe him kindness
So true
is this story worth continuing? ever since the art style changed i dropped the story, i really liked the previous artist’s work :’)
this story is worth every minute u can spend, it made me smile a lot and i daydream a lot abt this story... the character development is great too, try it, every story deserves a second chance
There was an artist change? Dang, when? It looked like dogshit from the start.
me when im bored and want to argue
It was... and now the spark is gone. Its just confusing
Wah ur right. And i feel like the vibe from the first art style are prettier (●'◡'●)ﾉ hmm ..
