NOVEL SPOILERS: stay if you like revenge. Ignore the manhwa, read parts of the novel

You can do what I did, by skipping 94 chapters in the novel. Read chapter 1, then head over to chapter 96 because that’s when shit hits the fan... FOR THE TWO POS MLS. If you read the entire novel, the payoff will never be enough for the time you invested in this work. Tbh I will never ever get how authors can go on and on AND ON with the sexual torture porn, but I’m not their target audience for this so. /shrug I stuck around because people were raving about the author’s supposedly masterful skill at depicting emotions in revenge scenes (meh but it did just enough to trigger my emotions).

There’s a certain group of readers that books like this cater to, much like how NTR is for a selected group - for me, I’m just here for one thing : MC to collect his dues. You’re not supposed to ship MC and ML, you're not supposed to think it’s a good book - it’s meant to piss you off and if you stick around long enough, you’re expected to hang on because you will be rewarded with the MC’s RETRIBUTION that will DENY both ML’s redemption. I had a rough idea of what went on and I still cried tears of rage reading the novel because it was finally time for MC to rise.

And he absolutely dished it out tenfold. The revenge was glorious. It was perfect to see him ASCEND TO THE THRONE the way he did. The two trash MLs knew they broke him, they did him wrong all the way. I loved that the 2 will never get what they want and one of them completely submitted to MC knowing he will never have MC’s heart because he had nothing left to give except pure indifference. There will never be a happy ending and it ended just fine because tbh, nobody would pick up a book like this and expect a sane, happy ending. MLs got what they deserved and that’s it for me.

    At least he doesn't end up with the MLs? Sometimes the MC will forgive even after undergoing humiliation and torture, I hope that's not the case here.

    Yeah, he doesn’t. He pretty much retained what’s left of his heart for others like children, his loyal soldiers, etc but basically, there is no humanity or even any /feeling/ of any kind from MC to both trash. Door is permanently shut on that.

    Oh. You give some hope.

    Yeah. Skip the torture porn, only take what you need from the last bit of the book and move on. Occasionally come back to it if you’re ever in the mood for bad ends but at least MC reigns supreme.

    I’ve been waiting so long for a story like this where the MC DOESNT get with abusers but pieces himself back together by himself. I’m glad I read this spoiler because it would have been hard to stick around with the idea of MC getting with toxic people.

    I came from your comment in my topic so I can read yours. I gotta say I CAN FEEL YOU RAGE!!! I love it hahaha. I just hate how the marquis just died, like I want him to suffer more. He's the reason why this happened.

    Comrade, you found me! Yesssss, is the marquis the guy who took all the glory and achievements for himself? Then YES I DIDN’T KNOW WHY he died in 2 seconds.

    To ramble on, I appreciated that the author never went overboard with MC’s brokenness and broke the immersion I had while reading about his path of recovery (as much as he could anyway) It’s one of the works that I sometimes go back reading if I’m ever in the mood for MCs putting trashes in their place while trying to pick up the broken pieces of himself to function.

    Yes, it's him. If it weren't for him, none of this would've happened.

    Looking forward to finishing the story. Still currently reading it. I can't contain my curiosity and had to look for spoilers
