Exactly, that's what I always say
Essentially. It's like trying to explain what pain feels like to an alien who doesn't feel pain. Or what colors are to someone who was born blind. And ML certainly didn't treat MC properly according to human standards, but he did try his best to treat MC with care in his own standards as is slowly being shown throughout the series. MC's meals, his fitted outfits, there were signs but the misunderstandings and lack of empathy from the MLs side certainly led to doom
Exactly you actually said all I have thought
The pieces are coming together but still the biggest thing I don’t get is why the heck did the emperor kill his own child then proceeded to rape Yeo Dam in the same place? Some misplaced crazy jealousy towards his own kid?
Jealousy
Don't forget the fact that kind don't care about they own children but care more about they "hobby"...so Yeo dam being the emperor's hobby, he cared more about him that his own child...his jealousy is crazy
Well... There was actually a kinda valid reason behind that. It certainly wasn't just jealousy like people think now. You'll learn about it when ML learns about his previous life / gets his memories back, which is near the end of the book.
It was explained in first chapters, Jins don't care about their children, they don't have empathy, and as addressed in this thread their relationship with pain and death is different than for humans. I also thought it could have been jealousy as it seems that MC really liked that child
Ah, that doesn't explain the raping tho... Just the killing the kid. Raping was MLs lack of empathy, no real excuse for that part
Was not jealousy, but you have a point of MLs lack of caring whether or not it was his own kid / being fine with killing his kid. But he actually had a reason to kill the kid, it wasn't random and tyrannical.
It’s cause they don’t mind treating each other like shit, and because they can’t really feel pain and all that he was just doing what I’m guessing was the normal in his race, and because he didn’t really research that humans don’t treat each other like shit….. MOST humans don’t treat each other like shit he thought it was normal everywhere
Sooooo, if I'm getting this correctly, the Emperor's awful behavior in the original timeline was just one gigantic misunderstanding? Because Jins don't mind getting hurt, so breaking legs and violent sex is fine to them, and Jins don't care about their family so it wouldn't be important to attend their parent's funerals, and Jin's hobbies are life-fulfilling passions instead of being just a trivial thing to pass the time with. That's... messed up in a lot of different ways. Because I'm still very not okay with how Yeo-dam was originally treated, but I guess I also feel bad for Jins since it seems to be in their nature to just treat each other like shit?
