People would hate me ig for saying this but the thing seme did as a king (not talking about the rape) is the product of his father's teaching, he's strict, and he wont let any disrespect slide, it's easy for him to see people as insect bc he wasn't brought up to be human and yeah I do think he grow up to resent his family, rather than "slapping any trauma to excuse seme's shittiness" — this one is a bit realistic in terms of writing the caused and the results, I mean during that time a lot of rulers are cruel + he didn't get much education either, kid that age need role model, and he didn't have anyone.
Rape is wrong and author used it as a way to show his "affection" towards hyungnim. The kind of man that would say no but would do anything to protect his interest. It's problematic and toxic, but I wont say it's bad written manhwa.
