this artist knows their thing! might be the best drawn smut i've seen in a webtoon that i can't even be horny because the art is taking my attention.
smut aside, the story is kinda... good? i wasn't expecting much bcs a lot of the historical mature bl have been a miss (for me) in the story department but this one has something more to it than smut. also the villain here is so good that i'm finding it hard to hate her. she's pure evil i like that.

one thing i noticed is how the author explains some of the skills they possessed from its limitation -> uses -> how to improve it. i was surprised when they went into detail with the awakened spark dude in the village, details like that even if they're small gives the story and the characters so much life and not feel surfaced-level.
i also like how aside from the main characters, the side characters also have more depth into them and they're just not existing in the background like props. i thoroughly enjoyed reading this that i sometimes forget that it's bl and even omegaverse lol i am only reminded when it gets mentioned time to time.

this is the first time in which i read the chapters twice bcs alot of the things happening barely make sense to me or there's a lot of missing infos for me to comprehend the "dire" situation they're in. i think if we were introduced in detail with how powerful the elders are at the beginning then i would've felt the gravity of the situation but the way Lian and that other dude (mali's partner) narrated its background it just sounded like a hush whisper in my head.
this is the type of story telling where the author doesn't give answers but leave you assuming the answer. there's a lot of explaining here but it only leads you to another question, never an answer which i'm not really a fan of. i think it's best to read this when it's finished cause that way, maybe everything will make sense by the end. anyway the only character i like here is fu rin. best girl.

I meannn its a mystery? That's what mysteries do. If we automatically knew the head elders are the ones to blame there would be no mystery to solve... The head family is supposed to be something that's threatening but lingers in the background behind everyone always watching. And trust me they get very threatening VERY fast.
69 chapters? it felt like 20 chapters, i read this too fast and i should have waited for s3 before starting this.
also this is just my opinion but if i'm at my lowest point in life and i'm barely getting by and someone i'm close with genuinely wants to help me out of good will then my pride be damned. i'll take a helping hand no matter what i'm feeling. i feel like i'm not in a position to be choosy much less be prideful over something that doesn't do me any harm when life is already beating me as it is.
this is also why i'm drawn to characters like wowon bcs they make me think about the courses of action i'd take if i were in the same shoe. it makes me realize once again that there are ppl who'll handle situations just like he does and that fascinates me. i always find it interesting how people act and think differently.
