Im glad we finally got a timeskip, but man what is that anticlimactic reuniting of Perez and Tia? You just met in the street?? after 5 years of not seeing each other and 6months of no word??
I was expecting them to meet at a ball or something grand. It might have been a little cliche, but its a cliche because it works!! I know we'll probably get something better soon but I seriously have to wonder why the author choose to spoil their meeting like that.
I like Tia but I find the business side of this series painfully boring and the problems feel to easily resolved. The family drama and politics seem way more interesting, so Im glad we're finally seemingly at the fight for crown prince position/the succession.

Sorry, I accidentally liked your comment. While I agree that I envisioned a more dramatic setting for their meeting I know there's more to come. This wasn't an 'official meeting' after all. Plus, their relationship hasn't progressed much. So it's only fitting to meet like this after being more like pen friends. Anyway, I like seeing their shrewd side and how they beat others with their intellect.

I know as readers we get a kind of privileged "birds eye view" of the plot so its easier for us to put things together, but I really think its a bit ridiculous at this point that the MC hasn't realized Zhenia is the crazy Bogandov.
I think the HQ sending a picture of Zhenia, the fake "Bogandov" attacking him, and Zhenia helping him has made him ignore his suspicions.
But at a certain point, ESPECIALLY after the dinner party, the MC should pretty much guess by now, or have a far greater suspicion than this. He even says "why did he come out of the shower fully dressed" and Zhenia basically SPELLS IT OUT for him why and STILL the MC doesn't have a light bulb moment.
I still really enjoy this story and MC, but please author for the love of god, let the MC be clued in, its getting comedic at this point

wow I can't believe Im saying it but I do feel bad for both sides. They're very clearly in love and obsessed (though the seme is definitely more possessive) but the butler seems to have intense trauma and self worth issues so that he cannot accept himself as anything more or less than the seme's butler, and the seme just honest to god wants to marry him. The seme is definitely toxic and possessive but he does genuinely seem to want to be with the uke, and the uke *wants* to be with him but just feels he can't cross that line, no matter what the seme says is fine.
also the smut is very good

A cool premise that had an ok execution. I think it had potential to be a lot better, but overall was an enjoyable story. The end felt a little abrupt but apparently that is because the manga was cancelled, the light novel continues.
Overall the pace and execution was a little rushed and amateurish at times, but the art was great, the brutality was a breath of fresh air, and the premise was just too cool.
wait does nsfw even happen in this? I know it happens in the novel, but are we going to get any here? Im only 21 chapters in currently
Yes I just finished ch27 and considering how it ended I think it’s gonna get rapey…
