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
