Yesss, I would like to know too because every time I see a manhwa/webtoon with taming in it I expect two grown adults getting it on with some psychological power play but instead it’s actually some gross ass woman grooming a kid
ML seems like a normal dude chapter one but that’s only because it’s at a point in the future when he has to go to war leaving fl behind at home. I read up to ch 5 and ml seems seriously abused to the point that he does not have the mental state of an adult so yep, it’s giving grooming. The ml has adult body but acts like a kid probably because of the abuse. Fl is forced to marry him but ew why even is this the story. Manhwas/webtoons with taming are always so sus geez
No
Uuuuuuuuughhhhhhh. Thank you for letting me know
Yall clearly dont know shit about being groomed/grooming LMFAO
I wouldn't say she's "grooming" him because aside from letting him drink her blood and her feeling embarrassed by it, and him being a grown man with interest in a woman's body -- she does not try to coerce him into anything sexual. in fact she stops him each time he crosses a line.
His mental capacity isn't all there because he was abused heavily but I have a feeling that also has something to do with the curse. And while he cannot communicate well he seems to have an understanding of things. He's more like an adult beast than a "child".
She's taking care of him moreso because she sees saving him as saving herself, both past and present. She's smart at playing with the poor cards she's been dealt.
Ikr. In general, grooming would be way more slimy than whatever she did and said.
On a side note, the empress is really nicely done here: she whips the beasty and keeps pets around; she is someone who deathly fears losing control over what is hers (she said the new crown princess might take her position).
When she and the FL met, she didn't even try to humiliate, embarrass or manipulate the FL (her own thoughts were disturbing enough to make the FL faint)
My point is this is what a real villainess with ultimate power looks like: would do anything to keep what they stole but still fear the day when they lose everything more than their own deaths
I'm not saying I pardon not support the empress but damn does she have an actual personality (I just appreciate nicely done characters no matter how "bad" they are)
Before I get into this, could someone let me know if it's a psychosexual manipulative dependent sort of taming, or the FL is an adult grooming ml sort of taming....many such cases.
