I might be reading too into this, since I doubt this webtoon is trying to be anything more than surface level deep in terms of its theme, or commentary, but does anyone feel a bit icky that the only ML who isn't nobility or belonging to a rich social class, apparently turns obsessive and evil, basically reaching a bad end? I'm just saying this because other manga with this kind of plot almost never have the MC romance a commoner or someone lower in status, so it just feels odd that the 'slave' ML reaches a bad end. Mind, even my recollection of the spoilers is shaky at best, but I feel that doing something so terrible for the character arc of a slave character just feels uncomfortably classist, albeit unintentionally. That being said, I also don't think it's fair to label the manga as classist just because a significant character who's a slave turns out to be twisted, same way you wouldn't call a movie homophobic because the villain happened to also be gay. Please keep in mind that these were just my feelings regarding Eclise whenever he was mentioned onscreen, and not some type of analysis of the webtoon. If someone who's read the novel would like to fill me in, please don't hesitate to do so. Same if someone would just like to add their 2 cents. I'm open to discussion especially regarding a webtoon I'm really enjoying.
