I'm slowly growing more and more convinced that either the artist just wanted to draw their fav scenes while glossing over anything else from the novel, or a lot of content was axed on purpose to get people to go read the novel. Which works since I swear like almost everyone who read up until this point started reading the novel or is searching for links-

I'm guessing they're trying to tie it all up neatly(subjective) in 100 chapters. And I'll be honest, idc. I was here to look at pretty pictures and that's all I got out of that. I didn't even bother reading what Cayena was yapping about with these kids or her date with her whipped boyfriend.
But like him or hate him Rezef was one of the main people that kept the story interesting, for me anyway. Unlike anyone else but Cayena he had dimension and was driving the story forward if not forcing it to. I liked how he was portrayed as a product of his environment instead of the usual dumb toddler shoujo nonsense where kids come crawling out of the birth canal ready to assault the main character for existing and never change throughout on average two whole decades.

Sure he was always a cruel bastard, always will be from the looks of it, but before he let the dogs out so to say, there was still benefit of the doubt, a degree of seperation the audience had to the evil bs he was up to.
Showing us how these kids get their own 4D beastality experience is where that seperation is torn down. No amount of rizz could make Andrim "better", or more like overshadow that straight up unhinged behaviour. Unlike many psychological/horror/thriller MLs out there he doesn't have any big trauma or goal to try and justify that shit either, so it's hitting most readers like a freight train.
On the other hand perhaps that was intentional of the author. Like a "this is what you wished for" kinda deal. Something, something, what you can't fix WILL get worse, some villains aren't worth the sympathy, don't be rizzed into ignorance; take your pick.

I understand being weirded out that a grown man got married to a kid, but throwing pedophilia around like its a football is such brain rot behaviour.
While our homeboy was a kid his hot omega husband was weirded out, and they got friendly with each other bc wtf else would you do if you were forced to marry a kid? Like they barely touch each other and hang out respectfully. The romance comes way later when he's grown.
It's a thing to begin with to create drama, to have a good reason why the throne was seized, bc it wasn't an uncommon thing throughout history aswell.
Sometimes the answer isn't the worst thing you can imagine, and themes you call problematic can still have a compelling story surrounding it.

Im once again realizing how jaded by the genre I've become because the moment FL is all like "but what about those soldiers that deserve respect", portrayed in this very holier-than-thou, I-am-the-perfectly-competent-yet-naive-Mary-Sue vibe, I just cringe.
My soul retracts back into the abyss and I feel the potent need to teach FL a personality through some competent bullying.
If this type of fl had a color I'd pick beige bc the shit she's on is so basic. Does she get any more zest at all?
So his problem with Abel is that he doesn't want the king to get sidetracked? And/or to just get rid of the one true twink before the council can exploit that weakness, again.
Maybe I'm too much of a beta for this but can't relate, can't understand lmao. Praise Ashler for looking right through that. I don't need Karas when I got Ashler as the king of my heart.
"The one true twink" YOUR SO FUNNY
I'm not saying he's right (coz he isn't and I hate him for seeing Karas as a pawn for his revenge and not care about him as an individual just like the council) but his thoughts are understandable .
He doesn't know Abel, and for all he knows Karas might just give up everything since the main reason he has been on a rampage against the council all these years was due to Abel's murder. He doesn't know Abel knowingly gave his life away 11 years ago just to protect Karas, for him he's just some weakling who's an obstacle to his goal.
Yeaaa, ig the guy put all of his money on Karas and IS in a desperate position so there's more than enough room to forgive the guy at least.
Yea he's going to do something in a bit but thankfully it actually helped (even if it wasn't his goal lol)
SPOILER
He's also gonna develop a little crush on Abel too
Abel = dilf magnet
my girl math is mathing
Because Ashler knows why Karas even keeps them around. Its not because Karas trusts any of them but he knows their motivations. Only time will tell when someone reveals their true intentions on if they will be loyal in a situation where it doesn't benefit them so i dont think ashler and Karas are surprised but more used to this since what went down years ago.
