We stan a supportive mother. My condolences for the doomed yuri though
MC and her brother would've made such a powerful sibling duo if their stupid parents didn't fuel so much rivalry ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
I kinda dig how the sibling rivalry and cooperation is portrayed though. How many royal siblings do you see actually have a properly depicted love-hate relationship in webtoons? Most are either stupid bullies or unrealistic siscons. He's probably gonna die or get a bad ending, but this is genuinely such a rare depiction of how manipulative parents grooms two fked up siblings that hates them. I'm so impressed by the author's writing of their hatred and mutual (dis)respect.
Praying that theres no stupid "he's interested in her romantically" nonsense. This brother manipulated and plotted her death in their last life. Unless it wasn't actually him, I can't believe he'd be that stupid to catch feelings for his rival to the throne. I want to see them battle wits. Author I'm putting my trust in you!
I got baited because a top commentor wrote Kim Soleum but the only similarities ML has w my boy is that his disguise looks like a normal korean male with glasses lmao
LMAOOO I GOT EXCITED TOO i thought i was going to see my beautiful glorious rookie roe deer...（￣へ￣）
What manwha does Kim Soleum acame from? I wanna read it.
hes actually from a novel called got dropped in a ghost story still gotta work! I 1000000% recommend the novel its one of the best I've ever read. The novel also shares the same author as debut or die ヾ(☆▽☆)
So no manhwa at this time? It sounds interesting, I would love to read it if the translation is good.
You should read from mythic regressor their translations are so good ive binged over 50 chapters in a day. They put in the extra effort to color code text or make the text move so it feels like you're experiencing the horror stories yourself Σ( ￣□￣||) its seriously so good and the author just came back from hiatus pls lmk if you read it i need more gsgw mutuals ♀
Watching him get dressed only to get undressed within the same chapter
The top comment switching up after defending this and insulting fujoshis made me lmfao. Yalls really don't need to force yourselves to like this just to hate on the BL fans.
I personally think authors writing gay -> straight pairings need to establish that their characters are okay with any genders. Especially in isekai romance genres where MCs romancing someone who already had a OGpartner is a common problem, adding another gender/sexuality crisis is a bit too much. If the author doesn't write it well then there's bound to be misrepresentation and lack of logic. It's fine to like a series if that change appeals to you, I mean, there's some BL where gay guys goes after straight men too(or vice versa when gay men realises they were straight and break up). However, the topic on sexuality is vast so it's hard to write. I haven't seen any good ones that explore this topic with enough sensitivity(maybe only in genderbenders), so I hope authors can put more care into the exploration if they want to use the genre as a main plotline.
Acknowledging criticisms is a valid response to improve reading spaces. Lets not be too harsh on fellow readers, it's a bad look.
A (mid) webtoon getting axed is not that frustrating, but a webtoon with a solid plot, good pairing and improving art direction being rushed due to the lack of popularity frustrate the heck out of me.
I can tell the amount of effort and love invested into creating this series. Sometimes I question how some webtoons can go up to 500 chapters, but this couldn't even sustain 100 chapters. Some commentors said it might've been more popular if it wasn't tagged BL, and I kinda agree. (E.g The summer Hikaru died wasn't as popular when it was tagged BL by scans, but it became mainstream after the tag was removed) The focus on action didn't fare well with BL readers, but the BL tag drove away many general audience that likes this kind of genre. I'm very happy this got adapted, but it's also sad there's only a few gacha-format BLs getting adapted compared to the countless BG gacha novels.
The main saving grace for me is that it's adapted from a novel, and that is completed properly.
This webtoon ended a year ago and I bought some chapters to show support. It's not much but I hope my water droplet in an ocean can go into the wallets of the creative team that brought a beautiful series into picture format.
Please don't mind me, I'm just lamenting why I'm not a rich kid that can sponsor an entire series by myself like that pair of twins in China who sponsored the Omegaverse drama(I'm ngl they are my idols). We need more rich heiresses in this genre ╥﹏╥
I like this manwha since the plot is interesting but I’m not surprised it got cancelled. Looks wise it’s not that great, the action scenes aren’t impactful, the monster designs are pretty basic, and even for a BL it’s incredibly light on the romance.
Ooooh ! I get it! you are talking about ABO Desire and their rich authors/producers ( I someday aspire to be like them; spending lavishly on stuff they like :)
Anyways
Getting back to this story
the recent chapter felt so out of proportion I had a hard time wrapping my head on what's going on
I see your point
It's kinda regretful that this manhwa didn't get that level of adaptation it deserved for maybe various reasons
These types of stories are my fave kind we are so focused on the world building/plot and bl romance just happened to be there ya know
I let it marinet for a year or so to read it properly in continuation and by the looks of it I'll have to check the novel out and take a deep dive into the story and the authors
I need to just get into reading navels I can't keep getting my heart broken every time these manhwa adaptations get cancelled It happens every time I'm actually gonna be sick
nooo did it really get canceled? give me the officials right neow (pleeek. so i can atleast support the team before it's gone)
I agree with you, especially regarding the BL tag. I myself am a varied reader, so I read both action stories, and romance stories, so I didn't particularly mind the lack of romance one would associate with a BL tag - but I get why many are disappointed, BL tag has the same association as the romance tag in straight stories, aka you'd expect the story to focus on that aspect a lot more. But this story doesn't. It then also drives away people who aren't as interested in romance and who would like this series in its other aspects.
It's so difficult, I understand why there is a need for the BL/GL tags separately, but I also wish we could stop tagging series with them if their focus isn't romance, and they just happen to have queer main characters/pairings.
But also, I get your frustrations when a decent story gets axed because people don't have enough patience for things. I really enjoyed the slower pacing of the webcomic adaptation of "I'm not the villain's lover" and reading the comments I had gathered it was following the novel p faithfully. It wasn't perfect, but I like it when stories do try to adapt novels like so - it can be really frustrating to me when it feels like half the content gets cut out. I'm also a fan of a real slowburn, so I didn't mind the delayed romance. But most readers didn't seem to have the patience for it, and the adaptation got dropped in the middle. At least that one continued as it did until the end, instead of trying to rush itself for nothing. I feel like that story suffered similarly to this one, where the tags would imply a romance focus, when the story was more focused on other things (but also didn't fall enough to be considered action/adventure tags to be only fitting ones).
I kinda wish we got more stories where the focus isn't on romance alone, but the story doesn't treat it as an afterthought like in most action/adventure tags, but more that they both are important parts that develop throughout the story.
Sorry for my long rambling, haha (￣∇￣")
Can someone explain the plot? I dont get It. Is this world all a dream of ML??
We shouldn't even care if Abel is a twink, buff guy, whatever, he's not for the readers he's for Karas!!!! Abel loving Karas whom everyone saw as a monster, and Karas loving Abel regardless of what form he took is romantic af! I love them so much!!!
I remember trying to reason with so many angry readers that Abel becoming a pretty boy doesn't take away how precious he is, but so many only focused on how he's not their ideal type anymore. Anyway, I'm so happy I let it marinate a season, season 2 was super good too. I read ahead a little since there're s3 raws out, and I'm ngl I really love that both male leads are getting character developments.
(I always thought "Apel" was a typo, but finding out that's how Karas called him made me feel so fuzzy on the inside. They are soo precious ╥﹏╥) (Also if it was an intentional nickname, Apel sounds like Apple, referring to the Apple Eve ate? Abel is also the name of Adam and Eve's son so, food for thought)
P.s Making the antagonists extra superficial, only caring about the outer appearance of the King's Regas was the cherry on top. I'm so satisfied.
Long time no read and the MC's hair colour changed to blonde. Atp what's the difference between the Emperor getting it on with the OGShou and the MCShou? Ngl I might've enjoyed it more if it was the Eunuch reincarnating or smth.
Lmao I thought I was the only one who noticed the change of the hair color
I'm only at chapter 6 but I screamed the moment the "stoic" protagonist appeared. Kim Hyunsung what are you doing here!!!!
Villain red liar MC who can see people's skills, stoic blue puppy protagonist who is kinda dumb, bimbo "pure-hearted" heroine who has 2 faces, Harem setting. As a fellow battle shounen/harem reader, author I know what you are on.(⌒▽⌒) (TLDR for people who don't know what I'm talking about, search Regressor Instruction Manual.)
Gonna edit post as I continue, but I have to physically stop myself from making comparisons and giggling everytime these 2 appear now.

- NO WAY He's a commander too.
- Btw, the comments section is so accurate and reflects on what an actual comment section of a harem series is like. Author did their research and delivered.
- Though I'm hoping there's not much romance because their two-face act is so fun to read right now, I think FL deserves a harem too she's so slay.
- FL developing friendship with the harem members is so wholesome.
- NOT THE CLIFFHANGER(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
I should've let it marinate, IT'S SOO GOOD!! I'll be back!!!!!
P.s This is not a recommendation post of RIM, I don't actually recommend RIM to shoujo lovers unless you are interested in a series with a similar type of MCs(The two dudes here). It's very different from this webtoon and is a bona fide Harem with a big dash of Bromance.
3 days and 3 nights let me light a candle for you
