he wants it so badly but can’t say it the duke really taught him how nice it feels to let someone else take control and let yourself be vulnerable, i can’t blame him for getting hooked
some of you forget all the context and believe living together since young = siblings. this is a gross misunderstanding and also downplays the upbringing they had. from the beginning, they were pitted against each other and never felt anything familial. both of them were completely separate beings from one another, and only lived in the same house. erwon was used as the golden scapegoat for the family. he was responsible for all of their child’s wrongdoings and had to be perfect on his own- never getting parental love. meanwhile og mc hated his guts and never saw him as anything other than competition for succession rights
how many times are we going to have this same easily dismissible conversation. growing up in the same environment and never bonding as a family would not make you siblings. they were literally strangers (enemies) in the same home
he begged so nicely?? that was really fucking fake, i wouldn’t be able to hold back hes so pretty and is being bratty for a reason
rip they will never make a beautiful brown bottom like this again, we gotta wait another 3 years . even though the story was ok i read solely for the gorgeous ml and don’t regret it
i can already tell andante telling mc he’s “useful” in place of a kinder answer has affected him deeply. i wouldn’t mind if our guide actually left this stiff esper. andante is overly cocky about his decisions and too self assured. he had full control over mc emotionally this entire time. i want to see ml humbled and trying to actively win over hyoseop instead. hyo is so willing and genuine with his feelings, so i need to see ml being the one to love harder and have some sense of desperation
he’s being really avoidant about the issue at hand and then his only answer for taking responsibility is resigning??? he didn’t give us any information and thinks it’s okay to recluse im beating his raisin ass
ive read way worse stories than this but the betrayal and disappointment i feel for jiheon is so different compared to any other toxic ml . i keep complaining about the same issue here, but its very strange to me how selfish ml is…
the drugging and manipulation is not tactful because wooju is the easiest person to control!!! he’s not a difficult person to win over, and the lack of empathy for someone so innocent and pure disturbs me so badly. the evil acts are unnecessary, and wooju is the only person suffering in this dynamic when there’s no struggle to begin with ?? this is coming from someone who enjoys yandere or possessive stories, but this right here is true date rape horror
WHY IS HE LOOKING AT US LIKE THAT HES ALL YOURS BRO RELAX
on a serious note we’re so fucking back… he wasted no time investigating and figured it out quick. the possessive bite and holding was everything!! all that’s left is for the prince to get rid of the tainted heart of the throne and then courting our mc. you guys don’t understand how excited i am, abel is about to be pampered and romanced like crazy
i don’t care if you’re excited for his beat down but he did not cheat. the truth is he did nothing in order to “deserve it”, stop trying to justify what’s about to happen. just say you want to see him be brutalized that’s fine
they weren’t together!! the poor guy was leeching off of him as a victim and slave to his desires
i don’t find it surprising at all that ian reacted this way and instead find it sad he’s always pushed to react to an extreme because of these people. some readers don’t understand the severity of the situation, he was about to die?? his adrenaline and fight or flight reaction were extremely high… his only thoughts were to get rid of the problem while keeping himself safe
to people saying he doesn’t deserve jo, you guys are doing a disservice to ians character and his circumstances. the entire plot is shows us how the underworld keeps their claws on him, and jo is the only light that could save him- making him feel human again. i don’t know what the fuck will happen to them, all i know is that i want all three of them to end up happy
genuinely i feel scared and anxious for the bottom because he’s not conscious or even critical of the bad things people do to him. all he does is chase after what makes him feel good, but gets the most blown out of proportion consequences. his innocence is jarring to see and someone here described him as a child and i feel the same way…
it’s one of those stories where he’s given “born yesterday” syndrome and all the adults who know better than him take advantage :/
the greed of exorcists… they know it’s an eternal kid no matter how long it’s lived for, and that person suggested they inflict harm on it??? i hope mc hurts all of them i don’t care, he wasn’t created to be exploited and treated this way
she even called her own son a stiff face and doesn’t accept the kind praise easily LMAO she knows him too well. i hope she’s not an evil, power hungry antagonist because i like her attitude now and she can be a pillar of strength for the crown princess. knowing how stupid the king is, he’s bound to hurt mc again and mc will need that comfort
ik this man isn’t complaining… as if he didn’t have twink the fifth on his waist and left his boyfriend alone on the couch to socialize. meanwhile kyung was just laughing with other people???
im expecting sore dicks and holes after this petty fight
they’re both on the same page but time is not on their side. one is overworked and the other is anxious, so their emotions are really heightened right now. ive never been more happy to see an accidental proposal reveal because it cut down their anger and fear, and now they can finally have their moment
i know keith fucked him over BADLY by how much hate and vengeance della holds, but his innate desire and need to protect him is winning??? i ship them so badly, they’re really toxic its addicting. the way they see each other and how they interact is always full of bad faith, yet there’s a part of them that wants to have this person despite their own best interests
by the way keith was fucking adorable this chapter, he has not a clue in the world what this psycho is thinking but is doing the cutest things
kids on tiktok are claiming mincheol had more chemistry than taeha. and are saying their build up was better compared to this current relationship which is based on lust… you have to be fucking dumb to reduce their connection to that, and the agreements ive seen too? saying they’re not romantic or not deep enough, to have sex yet, are so inexperienced and young i couldn’t believe it
mc was mistreated, unloved, and discouraged by the ex for years! she felt disconnected from her entire body and self, not even caring about anything other than him because of the constant emotional/physical abuse and belittling. he killed her sex drive, and made her feel unworthy of indulging in simple interests outside a husband and devoted slave-wife! however, as she’s moving on and healing from the trash she starts trying “childish” things, like the cigs or small impulsive spending to get to know who she really is. with this comes the ml, whos been taking care of her behind the scenes and his attempt of courting her. he’s shown deep devotion and respect, with hopes he can be a part of her life because he wants to make her happy directly. her decision to have sex with ml was a fully sound and reasonable choice?? it didn’t come out of nowhere, she FINALLY felt safe and vulnerable after all these years! it’s part of her adult journey of healing, and moving on from an awful as well as traumatizing first heartbreak
idk why young readers these days are so scared of intimacy in media when it serves a purpose! can woman in media be eager about sex without the misogyny. it’s not a moral failing to have desire, so this purity mindset is ridiculous and sad especially with how the story itself is a smut focused one too
i guess ill read for the sex only since that’s all this story focuses on. i enjoy seeing sexual acts used to impact the plot/development but the kidnapping seems entirely lackluster because it focused more on their intimacy being less horrible than what it actually was
i don’t expect mc to be in constant or sustaining despair, but it doesn’t feel like ml’s actions have been taken seriously or is treated with deep pedigree of disgust. rather than witnessing mc process these very traumatizing experiences, we see more of the act itself and these characters in pleasure > the aftermath or humane thoughts behind them. which i didn’t expect a lot since the first season was just like this too, but i coped since mc was too focused on the murder case. while tae expressed his hate, it feels contradictory when he fully knows ml won’t bend to his will. when mc does acts for ml, it feels voyeuristic instead of a desperate ploy for survival or a solid plan since he knows he won’t get hurt
every character given attention in this story has well rounded personalities and depth, even if their screen time is short. i fell in love with the mcs and how they broke down each others walls, then truly fell for each other. but something about seeing side characters engage with them and also having complexities makes this a much more enjoyable read. they’re not flat comical villains!! sure they are assholes and manipulators, but there’s much more grey areas in everyone’s actions as well and it all boils down to communication and willingness to understand
the art style was sunning. but… their relationship and personalities felt dull amongst the overall story. mc’s loneliness and admiration for his crush were good plots, but i needed more background on the lead up to the rape as well as ml’s experience coping with it. ml does express his feelings about it several times but it brushes over it briefly. imo this story used rape as the biggest overarching tool, but failed to look deep into the psyche of it all and was surface level
ml deserved his revenge, but i can’t get behind mc’s actions not getting explored. we focused more on his heartbreak instead of why he hurt ml in the first place and then never did it again despite having all the same habits. for their relationship itself im not into it but i don’t hate it either? it just needed more development since it felt so rushed
