So happy there’s actually a reason for her not providing aftercare at first, I hope it only gets better from here on out!!
Omg I’m hoping this is just part of his “punish” for cumming without permission but even then, no aftercare?? Really?? She is soooo shitty to him aftercare is literally the bare minimum and so important for people new to that kind of dynamic (aka the MC).
Leaves a bad taste in the mouth doesn’t it? It’s putting me off.
I need to let the marinate because I’m waiting on officials but they’re coming out so slowwwwwww
Damn, maybe I’m just desensitized because I’m so used to reading yaoi mangas where the ML borderline (and sometimes literally) rapes the MC, I just don’t think this guy is that bad. (Not that we should be deciding red flag ML’s based off whether or not they rape the MC, bc that’s literally the bare minimum)
Like yeah he’s an asshole, no denying that. But he kind has the right to be? He wasted two years on someone (granted that was his fault, who doesn’t first check the gender of the person you’re trying to marry???) and then was forcibly bonded to someone whose gender is associated with a traumatic memory.
He has the right to be upset at the MC, especially when he MC is the one who bonded them, like he literally says “I can’t believe this once in a lifetime thing was taken from me.” or something like that directly after it happens.
Like idk he acts annoying and clingy (which is just his personality, the MC liked that part of him when he thought the ML like him for him) and sometimes says hurtful shit but that’s literally all he does?? Like they haven’t seen each other in three years and have only been with each other for a month and a half at the very most (probably less), I didn’t expect a complete 180 I actually expected him to be a lot crueler (like him directly after the MC stops his corruption cruel, yeesh I really thought that was how he was gonna act for the entirety of the manga ugh)
My bad for the rant lmao, ML is a piece of shit, but not that big of a piece of shit to garner this much hate imo, like reading the comments makes me feel like I’m legit tripping wth
Yeah I can see that he's mild compared to other RFMLs out there and he's so fcking dumb on that part where he thought MC is a girl.
I actually thought him getting bonded with MC is his karma
I hate him but not as much as dropping the series. Its quite tolerable, for me, to read this until the end cuz like I said he's quite milder than the others.
MC being pathetic doesn't bother me much unlike the other. Loving someone really does makes you dumb and pathetic. I really do hope he fall out of love with him but stories like this doesn't end like that so idc anymore.
I agree with you
Idk how anyone is confused on what’s real or not, or what’s the past and present. Like to me it’s not overly obvious but it’s not hard to recogonize either. Y’all are making this manga more confusing than it needs to be, there’s literally nothing to decipher here
I completely forgot that not everyone knew the spoiler about the plot “story” he’s trapped in actually being his past life. Was so confused on why everyone was shocked in the comments lol.
Idk everyone hates him for locking her up but it’s not like his thought process doesn’t make sense. The FL made a complete 180 in personality and actions for seemingly no reason, and right when he finally falls in love with her and lets his gaurd down she sends his most trusted gaurds to an Oasis that she can’t prove is real but supposedly heard about from a secret conversation between her dad and someone who lives in the desert?
It was already sus that she changed, it was even more sus that there was a supposed Oasis in the desert that she just happened to know about but he still sent Anton regardless because he loves her (plus it didn’t help that she hired those guys and didn’t tell anyone about it bc when everything got put together it just looked even more sus). I don’t think him locking her in a cold cell proves that he doesn’t actually love her but I do think it’s fucked up that he didn’t at least have a doctor sent to check on her when he found out she was extremely ill.
My biggest problem he done everything without evidence...the past misbehavior is not an evidence....like he didn't sent out search partys, he didn't have their dead bodies etc, he didn't know that they was attacked or encountered a sandstorm, or who knows what.
He put an Empress from foregein country in prison and literally torture her without any evidence when this whole ordeal could've cause a national conflict.
He know from the beginning that she is ill, because the nanny tell him, but she still sent her in a cold prison without Food and water and she was there in this way for 1 week. In those times a delicate noble lady would die without food and water in 2-3 days, plus she was ill if its not for the nanny and the servant she would die very soon, maybe in one day.
I trully love see his face what would he di if Anton return but the Empress is already dead.
The whole stuff is just illogical.
I think you can understand him from the perspective of an Emperor and accept what he did was reasonable but as a spouse, he failed. Like I can acknowledge that she is sus and hes been put in a tough position but this is an either or situation. You either put duty as an Emperor first or you put your love first but you can't have both or rather you shouldn't be able to have both. I dont even know if I'd made a different choice.. well maybe I'd house arrest her in her room.. but I would never expect any sort of forgiveness from her nor would I have the face to try to continue any form of romance. The only bitter part of this situation is that we know ML will be able to have his cake and eat it too.
I would confine her in her own room, assing guards everywhere, but let a doctor check on her, and let 1 or 2 maid send her simple meals. - this would be the normal reaction if somebody sus.
When I read his extreme reaction, I thought he is in Love with Anton -. -
To be fair, Anton is his most loyal knight, hes been like his right hand for years and he just "met" FL very recently. It'd be pretty mean to throw years of friendship and loyalty away over FL who has a sus background.
I get it but I still find his reaction extreme, like he doesn't even know if he is alive,injured or what happened.
See these comments are why I don’t reread mangas I’ve already read, nothing’s ever gonna be as good as it was the first time you read. And a majority of the time (especially when it comes to old BL mangas) they’re even worst than you remembered.
I’d rather just keep my fond memories and mild like for the story than reread it and realize “Wow, I really had no standards when I read this the first time huh?”
it just means our tastes evolved! don't discount your past self for liking this stuff because it's what led you to like other stuff :)
Late reply bc I forgot to respond but thanks, that’s a much better way to put it and made me feel better
Ik hes crazy but I can’t tell if he’s red flag crazy or green flag crazy, like if teach told him to jump off a cliff he fs would.
