I was almost on the brink of dropping this, but the story did develop better when season 2 came; the premise of the story is also really interesting. First of all, I love how Sunwon is wild and sex-starved but I do have problems with how he gets his sex (SPOILER) through coercion and I know it’s not real, but with a story that relies on his ability to bullshit and become a god of, technically, a cult, it just feels weird and uncomfortable for me to laugh at his antics when irl there are a lot of sexual mistreatment and lack of sexual knowledge in cults and religious factions. But at the same time as the story progressed, as a person and not as an impostor god, I liked how the author tackled Sunwon’s hypersexuality with which seems like he had a past of being raped and victim-blamed and I really felt sorry for him. I don’t think topics like this are commonly fleshed out in BL too so I was surprised. It was really hard to read the panels of Vercion raping him so I didn’t read that at all and I thought was showing the rape really necessary, I’m still 50/50 on that. On a more positive note, I love Albis so so much and how he’s progressed throughout the story as I’m writing this comment and I’ll just have to say that he’s in the running for best boy along with Risa and Karl !! I’ll be waiting for updates.

Honestly I'm now only here for the MC and his story !! I love his character so much tbh super badass. I'm not rooting for his romance with the ML whatsoever though, their relationship was kind of okay at the start and I was willing to bypass the r*pe because it is common with slavery themes (not saying it's right though, but it is what it is in these types of plot), but after awhile I was like nah, let's just root for the MC (and maybe Christian lmfao). I did like how the art style on the MC improved tho he had a cleaner style + Christian cos silver/white-haired characters are always pretty to me, but I always hated the art style on the ML because his eyes were always wide open for no reason T^T Anyway I'm actually pretty invested in the plot now and I'll be waiting for the next update.

Sol in the recent chapters is stressing me tf out tho and I vibe with Ian’s overthinking ass so much lmfao even though Brian was just reincarnated into a different body ngl I feel jealous for Ian while I’m reading Sol and Brian’s backstory Hoping that Sol will wake up and love Ian for Ian and not for Brian but idk if this is possible. (I was about to comment about the same-face syndrome of both Sol and the Cardinal but they’re deadass twins)
