thank you
Nah uke is just dumb
He's an mc in a yaoi smut story, of course he's going to fall for the evil emperor haha But think about it - a hot, powerful, obsessive man wants you. I genuinely think that would be enough for some people to fall (≧∀≦) especially a poor shunned/ hated member of society. he probably is dumb!
honestly, it does read a bit more 'well this is my role in life, to keep this emperor from murdering by letting him fuck me' it's hard to tell how mc truly feels since the self hatred for liking him is still there too. I just don't think this manwha is hitting the same beats to make it feel believeable in any way.
Right so to make it maybe make a bit of sense. This isnt it. In the novel it genuinely felt like the king is dead. He dies and they fly away, yes after mc tries to save him with the horn but it seemingly fails. At this stage and for chapters after I genuinely thought we were in a dead emperor epilogue. I think this is kind of failing to give the same gravitas to the moment.
Then we go to his life away from the Emperor. The chasing arc is still to come and it is a gentle persistent chase where he actually shows restraint and that he's actually trying to be a better person for mc. For a psychopath with no emotions it's something right?
Also mc never stops feeling guilty for liking the Emperor back. He will have nightmares forever more about his mother and his guilt.
My personal take is that having someone so powerful want you so strongly, might make anyone 'fall' if you get what I'm saying. People in the real world are into serial killers etc it's wild but it happens.
