BRO YOU'RE ONTO SOMETHING HEREEEEE. This reminds me of kdrama Flower of evil.
I'm not a sociopath but autistic enough to struggle with emotion. I personally wouldn't say I feel nothing, but things like empathy are more a skill than something inate for me, if that makes sense, and I struggle to connect emotionally with people who're outside my corfort zone.
Plus a bit of soul-draining depression, and I can relate to Bertram.
Tbh the story so far hasn't been giving me potent magic-solves-everything vibes, so I don't think that Bertram will just be thanos-snapped back to normal.
If he is then good for him. Whatever he'll be having I want it too in that case lmao, bc constantly reading ppl to understand their emotions so I can then properly react to them is so fucking tiring.
I wonder if there are any diagnosed sociopaths or psychopaths reading this manhwa. I wonder what their opinions are on this manhwa and the prince himself. Like do they relate to the prince in a way bc while he doesn't necessary feel or understand emotions he does know WHAT emotions he SHOULD be feeling in that moment. Is this an experience they've felt before and how they had to navigate through life? And if like the prince their condition was just a curse would they break it. Do they feel envious in a way bc he can or has hope to break it? (If someone is like this even if undiagnosed or just relate in general, comment, I'm really curious of your thoughts.)
