Since y'all get so mad about being called racist imma keep doing it, this story is a racis...

I'm sorry, but are you a kid or smth? This story is placed back in the medieval times, so of course there are gonna be some racist notions. Why else were the blacks seen as slaves and stuff? A story suiting it's timeline should not be shamed for. Not everything is revolved around the current society. Not everything should be bc that's how societies' opinions change over the years. Also, there's nothing wrong about it being the "white savior" plot, whatever that means. As you can see, the "whites" in this story are the villains, excluding the female lead, and we, as readers know that. Also, if you're going to shame others for reading it, maybe you should just drop it. Not everything should suit everyone's taste, that's the reason for varieties. So, if you have so much time to concern yourself with this, go get a life.

1) i don't read it, i would never read it.
2) Saying "blacks" is actually quite racist, i think English is not your first language or you probably just don't know but say black people instead of that, it got quite the racist history.
3) the characters aren't black they're brown (inspired by the middle east and India)

This is an in depth explanation read it if you want or don't idc

I want to point out something important about the way this story presents its characters, especially those portrayed as "brown" or non-white. Even if the narrative doesn’t make them overt villains, portraying them as beastly, overly sexual, or exotic still plays into deeply racist, historically rooted stereotypes—particularly Orientalist ones. These aren't neutral tropes. They come from a long tradition in Western literature and media that has dehumanized people of color, especially from the Middle East, South Asia, Africa, and Latin America, by depicting them as either hypersexualized threats or uncivilized "others."

This kind of representation has real-world consequences. For centuries, colonizers justified violence, slavery, and exploitation by painting brown and Black people as lacking self-control, needing domination, or being somehow "less evolved." It’s not just about a fictional character—it’s about reinforcing narratives that have contributed to systemic racism and harm.

Even more, when a story uses a white savior—someone from a dominant group who steps in to "rescue" marginalized people—it ends up centering whiteness again. The story becomes about how good and enlightened the white character is, rather than actually exploring the humanity, resistance, or agency of the people facing oppression. It turns a story that could challenge injustice into one that reassures white audiences of their moral superiority, which ironically ends up reinforcing the very systems it pretends to criticize.

So even if the intention wasn’t to be racist, impact matters more than intent. These patterns echo a history of colonialist and supremacist thinking. It’s worth re-examining why these tropes still show up and thinking more deeply about whose voice is centered and whose is reduced to a stereotype.
