Couldn't agree more
wow you really
Lol you sound like me 2-3 chapters ago lol. I personally think that uke didn't understand what was going on and there was more to it. On top of that I think Seme took on his job so someone else didn't have to senselessly kill people, so he could control the death toll (most would have killed the entire family, hunted down any survivors and killed them. It was what they did in those times. And to top it off, I think seme is working too find a way to overthrow the Emperor. I had reasons for thinking all of this but I'm too tired to try remembering them all.
Controversial take: YES the seme took out the whole uke’s family and that is horrible and horrific BUT ALSO he did that under government orders. I think a lot of yall are forgetting how intense these fuedal times and how defying orders like this could not only put you or job in danger, but most likely you family too
Does that excuse his actions? Absolutely not. Does the uke still have valid cause for wanting revenge? Absolutely. But at the end of the day it’s much of a systemic issue. I don’t think he would have maliciously taken out his family if he hadn’t been ordered to do that
So this manhwa can go either of two ways:
1) the uke finally understands everything that I expressed above, realized it is much of a systemic government level problem that even if he kills the seme, literally won’t change anything. Accepting this is the only way he’s going to be able to drop his revenge and start an actual relationship
2) he kills the seme, which you kno, GOOD FOR HER! This is your story, your life, you do what feels best for ya
Either outcomes are valid. I think we all need to just take a step back and look at this from a historical point of view in terms of power dynamics. This is really not a good vs evil, black & white type of problem. It’s much MUCH bigger than that and it’s doing the characters a disservice by boiling them down into cookie cutter caricatures
