Man oh man, what a field trip this has been. It just keeps on going and going. I don't mind the incest especially considering the timeline, the fact that they are gods and I mean it is fiction. It was a common practice during that era anyway. Sodomy is also rampant in this story. I can't blame them Seth is devastatingly beautiful and his temper tantrums are very adorable. His and Osiris dynamic is so interesting and I normally ship those type of dynamics but this particular combination is very unsettling. Seth is clearly the victim and the way Osiris obsesses over our beautiful Seth is not cute, it's creepy. I can tell he means every words he says to Seth of his undying love for him. When he says that he has never spent a moment of his life where he lived for anything but him. I am certain he sees it that way. Also the victim-blaming that Isis does annoyed me. Why? But that is also an expected and natural response as well. Horus is an intriguing character, he feels responsible for his mother yet betrays her for Seth. His love towards Seth is more pure than his father's but it is very strange indeed. We can tell from his first appearance that he had a thing for Seth. Also him calling Anubis a brat who is ungrateful got a laugh out of me. That is truly something that he would say. Yes Horus, a child who has been abused physically and mentally and had to watch his mom suffer from his tyrant of a father is ungrateful. Horus calling Osiris a madman also put me in a good mood. What more? The Sun God, geez that old bitch some shady motherfucker. This manhwa makes me feel things. Also how it is not only reduced to smut scenes and have an ongoing theme and plot unraveling at the same time.
UPDATE (10/3/23): I have read the 16+ version and the plot takes the center stage there so we can understand better the motivations behind some characters and what makes them tick, how they process things etc. I could never put my head around how Isis blamed Seth for that night and tried to get revenge on him but it turns out that I wasn't offered the full picture in this version. In the 16+ version, we can see her stomping her way to where Seth and Osiris are and mumbling to herself that Seth should go to his big sis first and tell her these things. That Osiris will just talk his way out and that Seth would just play right into his hands, we can also see that she still has hope and that she planned on talking to Osiris but that shattered when she saw them kissing. BUT that doesn't excuse her behaviour. Seth's the victim here and he had to do whatever he could even if that meant offering his body to his lunatic brother who was obsessed with him, as long as Anubis(his son) was safe and sound. The line "I don't need a child. I won't wish for such a thing. I won't even think of Anubis as my son anymore. So just leave him alone. Let him live a normal life" begged by Seth to his brother (who was btw Anubis bio dad) made me feel so much for him. I don't even know why the Enneads are so hard on Seth when they are all the same way. They think of humans as cattle, someone they can order around and that serves as an amusement or a sort of entertainment for them. They might act like they care about them but at the end of the line, if a situation occurred where they had to choose between humans and their needs. They would choose themselves without batting an eye. Even Isis, who is being told as a merciful God who cares deeply for humans, tried to raze Egypt to the ground if her son didn't win the trial. And apparently she flooded Egypt once before as well.
