I'm shocked that the comments are talking about how they are offended and NOT about the latest chapter.
Like... what? Lol.
First of all, what are y'all all offended by? I am understanding the whole past life issue as a means of the author trying to make OUR lives easier. By drawing the characters to look essentially the same as their current lives, we will not get confused with the characters and the plot. Why are y'all making this a problem, a mountain out of a molehill. I'm truly confused and displeased with all the people who cannot use respectful language in the comments over their displeasure. Let me just say it here: IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE STORY OR ARE OFFENDED BY IT, DON'T READ IT. If you truly feel like what the author did is distasteful (you are allowed to feel that way), then good for you. Find something else to read, easy. Like, are we children?
Second of all... what a creep, that professor. Like, just because you have money and a name, doesn't mean you can commit crimes. Yuck. I hope my two little babies get away from him. But I've got a feeling he's gonna stalk them all the way back to Korea...
Sorry for those who took the time to read my whole post. Lol, I was kind of jumping all around the place. But whoooo~ I got that off my chest.

But I'm kinda glad the final sex scene wasn't smutty. The plot is so soft and minute and subtle. The intensity of the story is the relationship between Ren and Kaede. And creating their first night as a married couple as NOT smutty but focusing on their emotions was fantastic! To be honest, anal sex is not comfortable for a lot of people but Kaede focused on his love rather than being a power bottom that loves anal sex. Lol. There is a time and place for power bottoms, and I love power bottoms, but Kaede and Ren being focused on their feelings for each other while embracing bodies is beautiful and one of the most realistic sex scenes I've seen in a while. Lol, apart from their animal ears. I loved this story!

I understand the cousin's reasoning but... still... it was a stupid move. WHAT DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN? Him doing that is like if I give medicine to a child. What if I gave him poison? What if the child can't have the type of medicine I gave him? What if I killed the child? Even if the parent is not providing good care for a sick child, I am not in the right to act upon my own self-righteousness and do something that might harm both the child and parent. Acting upon ignorance and without thinking are just as harmful as acting with malice. Ignorance does not excuse actions that have repercussions. What the cousin did was not only sexual assault under the pretense of helping, he triggered an "illness", a curse, inside of Ren and almost killed Ren, leaving only the animal (ancestor) behind. What he did was unfortunate and I believe forgivable but unforgettable. I hope he does not simply get a slap on the hand because what he did was detrimental to a person in their tribe. I hated it when that person at the end said Ren was fated to turn into the ancestor. No, he wasnt! He wouldn't have turned into the fricking beast if he was not emotionally triggered. Didn't the cousin say it himself? When someone is under tremendous stress and trauma, they can turn into the beast. Ren finding out that someone else had assaulted his bride and had put their hands on his bride put stress on Ren. He was not fated to lose his "humanity", he was fated to live his life and not be scrutinized and judged by his cousin who thought he was being helpful. Boy, get yourself a room because I don't need your self-righteousness. THINK before you act, or at least TALK to Ren before something bad happens and then blaming yourself. I don't need your guilt, I needed you to not do what you did.
Lol, I'm sorry, I needed to get this out. Those who disagree will disagree but I simply can't forgive the cousin even if he feels guilt for it. Of course it was not on purpose but it wouldn't have happened without him being the trigger. Characters like this annoy me more than people who try to get in between the OTP because I can see myself in them. I can see that if i were in that situation, I might have done something similar. I get angry because they are at fault but they have no malicious intent. But I'm even more angry because I don't want to see them as victims. Because I wouldn't see myself as a victim.

No matter how much I hated these two chapters... no matter how much I cringed... no matter how much I will say I won't read it any longer... I will always come back. Seriously, this makes me so curious.
These two chapters already proved the realities of the time period and situation so I shouldn't have my hopes up. Let's just hope the protagonist doesn't have to face anymore traumatic and/or dangerous situations (though I know this is an empty wish, of course he'll get into more trouble).
Well, here's to all the readers who have the same sentiment as me. I know y'all are out there Σ(っ°Д °;)っ Don't tell me I'm the only one feeling this way!

Okay, I'm a bit mad at both wolves. As for Ren, he did not begin the relationship on a great start with not telling Kaede what was in the drink and not asking for consent. But I like him a lot more than dbag cousin!
Dude, you DO NOT have the authority even if you are trying to help to put yourself in the situation of physically and sexually touching Kaede while he is drunk, under aphrodisiac, and is vulnerable. And from the conversation,
it looks like he did it frequently, or at least a few times (once is bad enough). You know what you could have done? You could've gone to Ren and said, "hey, I think you should help Kaede to release afterwards because he is in pain". BUT NOOOOOOO. YOU HAD TO MAKE A STUPID DECISION AND SQUEEZE YOURSELF IN THAT SITUATION AND RELATIONSHIP. DID YOU NOT THINK ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF TOUCHING SOMEONE ELSE'S (ESPECIALLY AS REN IS A KEY PERSON IN THE TRIBE) BRIDE?! I am sufficiently disgusted at the cousin to make such an uninformed decision. Not only was he disrespectful to Ren, he committed sexual assault onto Kaede, and I think he might've committed something similar to treason as Ren is an important person in the tribe. I don't care if the intent was good, the acts were bad and I hate it that the ending of this chapter made him seem like a victim.
I'm sorry but this chapter had such good communication between Ren and Kaede. For once, there was good communication, especially on topics that might've felt embarrassing. Then here comes this freaking idiot who could have solved the issue by simply talking to Ren. He BETTER face some consequences.

Hmm, yeah. I don't think my main idea was an unpopular opinion; however, I think many people seemed angry at Ren instead and I felt that the one who was truly in the wrong was the cousin. From what I seemed to understand from comments previous to mine, many people weren't too happy about Ren and seemed to sympathize with the cousin's intent. That's why I felt I needed to preface my post, to prepare for the worst. (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜

I understand, I asked a question under a manhwa I'm reading and probably explained myself bad, lol.
I too think the cousin is mainly at fault, even if he had good intentions he had no right to touch Kaede while he clearly wasn't in his right mind, and a few times too without fail. We don't even know if he HAS good intentions or has some sort of personal purpose that made him think acting this was was better than speaking to Ren directly.
Ren is at fault, of course, with his reasons we now know. Surely leaving his fiancé vulnerable isn't right either, he could just ask some woman to stand guard on him or just stay off the room for a while, to ensure no one comes. I appreciate not wanting to hurt him, and starting to acknowledge that Kaede's a victim, but he still could have handled this matter better if he just asked his family for counseling. I hope to see him open to his family in the future.
Okay, I'm kind of over the jealousy trope. Don't get me wrong, I love the jealousy trope and I am super giddy that Hachi was jealous in this chapter. BUT I want more. I kind of hate it that Hachi is only jealous. I feel like I want someone to actually fall in love with Wataru and so Hachi can WAKE UP from this game he's playing. I want him to feel like he has competition so that Hachi can be kickstarted into action. I know he's making slow process into making Wataru fall in love... BUT CLEARLY, WATARU IS OBVIOUSLY IN LOVE ALREADY. Move on to a different tactic. Jealousy is not enough now, I need Hachi to be desperate. I need to see him sweat and have fear in his eyes of the off chance that Wataru may be lost from his fingers because of this stupid game he's playing. Hachi needs to allow Wataru to see that Wataru is being loved and is not simply a toy or object of interest or infatuation. I don't know, I love this story but I don't like how Hachi has the upper hand. A relationship is not one about winning. It's not a game and Hachi needs to be hit with this reality to realize that even if teasing is his way of showing love, Wataru can wear off on that type of intimacy quickly. Even Mama said it, Wataru is a good boy and really caring. He definitely has qualities that are wanted and someone may easily snag him away!
Sorry, I didn't mean to write so much but I was bottling this up for a while... this might be an unpopular opinion but thinking about it from Wataru's perspective, I would feel really insecure if I heard and somewhat experienced the guy I liked never showing affection towards me; yet, the moment I pose any affection, there is the threat of him throwing me away. Also! I hate the idea that teasing is a way of showing affection. It can be cute but it leaves people really insecure about whether you like them or if you are just toying with them. If Hachi truly thinks of Wataru as "his", he needs to show it and not just be creepily possessive.
