I'm glad we got to see a preview of their kids even if we didn't get to see their actual children. It was weird how he suddenly became so overpowered at the end that he could basically use every type of magic because he was already kinda overpowered in the first place. But at least it was at the end so it didn't really effect the story. Honestly my only real complaint is the name Ex Lost.
Ignoring the massive power imbalance and the racial undertones of having a “tan” person be a slave. Stories just not doing it for me. I lowkey kinda hate the king despite the fact that he seems to like the MC and even gave him an official position close to him he’s done nothing to fix the stigma of fire people or give him any real authority so that he at least wouldn’t get bullied or choked on site. Is the MC still a slave because he keeps referring to himself as one? Which makes the whole situation even worse. MC is being treated more like a prostitute than a love interest. I get that stories like this are meant to stretch on for a long time so maybe I just need to give it more time to get good. But right now it’s kind of unbearable
I believe it feels unbearable because even irl this is how prejudice worked, it's quite close to mimicking irl dynamics that once were and are in some capacity.
But I agree we haven't seen the king do much to clear the stigma against the fire people, even in the latest chapter it seems like he's going against the prejudice for anise only, idk why i have a feeling fuze is the "enemy spy" or something from the fire kingdom, I hope it doesn't become a anise' the exception of the kingdom kind of thing but hey this is just smut with some plot at the end of the day.










I hope she leaves his ass and then Keios is the one who spends years and years putting in the effort while she lives her best life
