Not asking about the rape, gang rape, etc. I'm curious about why the summary says Ian is "obsessed with Jayden"? We see that he's done this to many guys, that seems to be what the porn videos are about. They're different villains he has done this to, I'm assuming. He gave one of the three dudes a glare for some reason, what's that about?

(I haven't read the novel or seen any spoilers)
Remember that we've literally seen in Jaemin's head a few times, we've seen thought bubbles of him gushing over him. It's not fake, he's just having a mental breakdown.
He's just freaking out because he thought there's no time left. He's hurt because he thinks he's going to be abandoned, like none of it mattered since he's just going to walk away after this since "it's the last day".
They'll have some communication and everything will get sorted out. This is definitely just a final hump. Idk how *long* the hump will be drawn out, but I don't believe for a second what he said at the end there. It doesn't make sense. I started this after reading the comments, knowing he's going to betray him in some way, but that's not the vibe I got while reading to the end. The story seemed to me to be pretty direct in what's actually going on if you just pay attention to what Jaemin is saying. He's upset at the thought of MC just walking away.
Idk, just what I got from him and what he said. Along with some things the friends have said. He has had a crush on him since highschool.

This starts off with a typical transmigration beginning. Modern girl gets transported into a book she read and wants to go home. The book is a dark tragedy, she's possessed the villainess of the story who kidnaps and then brainwashes the third prince, Magnus, using drugs that shatter his mind and her own unique dream controlling powers to repeatedly give him nightmares to control him. She turns him into her "beast", he no longer remembers his past and thinks he's her property. MC wakes up after Illiana has already done this to Magnus. She decides to give him the antidote for the drugs and put distance between them for a time by doing priest training for 2 years. She knows that he will escape and become Emperor, falling in love with the FL, Cheryl, and making her Empress. She just wants him to be happy and thinks the story must progress for that.
In the 2 year gap, Magnus leaves the cabin he was trapped in to try and find Illiana. To do this he decides to become Emperor and sign a contract with the powerful darkness spirit, Nox, to gain enough power to fulfill his ambitions. He sets out thinking he just wants revenge on Illiana for abandoning him when she left for the priest training. He stumbles upon Cheryl when he escapes and she nurses him to health like expected. Illiana finishes her training and returns to the capital to fulfill her role in the plot, Magnus is supposed to see her at the ball she's been invited to. Magnus invited all the nobles to find Illiana. There's some plot threads added in where it's suggested that Illiana was abused by her father, but there's a weird discrepancy between what it looks like and how he acts towards her. Anyways, Magnus finds her at the ball and more plot threads are revealed that Magnus and Cheryl seem to be working together. She knows he's looking for the woman who kidnapped him. He tears her away from her father against their wills and declares she will be his Empress, she just sort of goes with it after some time because she knows what Illiana did to him. There's some internal struggle for her because she is not Illiana, but knows all that happened. So she's irritated at the unfair treatment, but also understanding and giving in. He wraps her in complete sensory deprivation, she discovers her dream power because of this and meets Raphael and Billy in Raphael's dream. This is how she gets through without breaking. Her and Magnus get closer as time passes. He's adamant he wants revenge, but his actions don't always match. He seems confused.
Illiana is Empress-to-be for awhile, she becomes friends with Cheryl assuming Magnus will end up with her, though Cheryl tells her she's not interested in Magnus and is actually in love with the duke. While she's here she starts looking into the dark land because she thinks it will help her return home. She notices that Illiana's feelings for Magnus seem to be growing stronger in her, she gets very overwhelmed seeing others with Magnus. She starts to feel like she's becoming Illiana. Eventually she starts getting memories back and, turns out, she wasn't abused by her father, she was crazy and self harmed to protest her mother. Illiana was a religious zealot who believed her mother was a demon because the empire is prejudiced against the "dark land". Her parents couldn't get through to her. She became depressed because she thought she is a demon because of her blood and felt she couldn't be saved. She met a priest who accidentally implanted the idea in her head that if she, as a demon, killed a demon, that god would be appreciative of her. So she plans to kill her family. That's how the original story ends how it does. She plans to die with her family to save herself in God's eyes, her family is killed in front of her, but instead of dying like she wants to, Magnus kept her alive in a recreation of the cabin and she dies of starvation in there.
What else was revealed by her regaining her memories? That the modern girl is actually Illiana's reincarnation. She happened to find her own story and her new life experiences made her able to recognize how unfair she was. She questioned why Illiana did that. When she died, the god Regneva took her soul and decided to send her back into her last life to change the story. Regneva took interest in how she'd changed from one life to the next and how her new clarity made her question "Illiana"'s actions. MC falls in love with Magnus herself, but struggles with accepting it, thinking he plans to torture her for revenge.
Illiana's father sends her a letter with a picture of the cabin, letting her know Magnus rebuilt it. She thinks he's still planning to torture her, but he'd changed his mind. Cheryl had been talking with him and made him realize his feelings for Illiana. That it's not just revenge. She runs away with the help of her father and some dark landers via a portal to the dark land made by her mother. Turns out the dark land is just a normal place and the narrative is actually the opposite of reality, they're actually holding the darkness back in Sidus. It's just expanding because of the dark god sealed there. She makes up with her parents there and decides to speak with Magnus once more, she learns that the ending of the original timeline where her parents died was just an illusion her parents created to give her what she wants. Her parents knew she was trying to kill them, but they loved her and pretended to die because she was not able to be reasoned with. Iliana realizes the depths of her parents' love for her. Magnus blazes a trail into the dark land looking for her and ends up waking up the dark god in Sidus. Regneva reveals that Magnus never wanted her to die, even in the original timeline. That he despaired when he found out. She realizes that she misunderstood things. That he did actually love her even then. She uses her dream powers to reach him and break him free and then Regneva takes the dark god away and brings light back to the land. Cheryl and the Duke are in love, he is finally forced to confront his own feelings for her in the chaos. Billy and Raphael are meeting in reality now.

First and foremost, if you're disgusted by incest vibes in fiction then this one isn't for you. They aren't blood related, but grew up calling each other brothers because they only had each other. Seungdo saved Yegeon from the orphanage director and raised him himself. Same with rape, it's pretty plentiful in this... But there IS a story under there and it's sad...
Seungdo (MC) is an orphan who's raised his brother Yegeon (ML) since they were both in the orphanage. The director of the orphanage was a pedophile, Seungdo protected Yegeon from him by putting himself in the way. When the director started looking at Yegeon he took Yegeon and ran away from the orphanage. Eventually Seungdo met this bar owner guy, real piece of shit, that tried to get him into prostitution and drugs. Seungdo was really young at the time, basically an impressionable teenager. The bar owner was attracted to him and wanted to trick him into sex. He told the guy he wouldn't work there at first, but then Yegeon needed tuition, so Seungdo agreed to "work" there (prostitution) and let the bar owner take his virginity and train his body for sex with men. He got Seungdo addicted to drugs so he'd stay there too.
Backstory out of the way. By the time the story starts, Seungdo has already stopped working at the bar, though he is still sleeping with men for money. The story opens with him having sex with a man for money. He gets a text from the bar owner, who is trying to get him to come back, he tells him that he has the drugs and Seungdo agrees to do one more job for the drugs. Turns out that the client was actually Yegeon, who was trying to see if his brother was still working at the bar. He knows that Seungdo has been whoring himself out for his sake since they were young and he's trying to catch him in the act so he can bring him back.
Seungdo has MAJOR self esteem issues after having whored himself out and given his tattoos/general way of life. He wants Yegeon to have a normal life, but feels like he's a stain on Yegeon's life, so when he's caught he decides to try and leave his life right then and there. He tells Yegeon to leave him alone and that he's living like that because he wants to. That he likes drugs and sleeping with men, he wants Yegeon to forget him and leave him behind. Yegeon doesn't know what to do, so he says "then I'll do it" and ravishes him while Seungdo protests and ends up giving him higher quality drugs himself so he won't go back to the bar. This starts their sexual relationship. There's a misunderstanding on Seungdo's part that persists for a bit that he has corrupted Yegeon and that's why he's suddenly gay and giving him drugs. He thinks, because he's a stain on his life, he has corrupted him. He eventually realizes that Yegeon just cares for him the same way he cares for Yegeon, that's why he took on the sex and drugs role, since Seungdo was saying he wants that.
The romance aspect is a bit confusing. It's hard to say if they had feelings for each other beforehand or if they just ended up in a sexual relationship because of what Seungdo said to Yegeon when he got caught working at the bar. It's implied that Yegeon at least had feelings, because he says something along the lines of that "I used to hate it when it was said that we are strangers, that we don't share blood, but now I'm actually glad it's the case because I can stop acting like your little brother". He's now glad that they aren't related because they can be together without that being an issue. It's also said that Yegeon wanted to always be together with Seungdo, and that's said in a context where marriage is being compared. Seungdo says that Yegeon feels the same as him, which could mean Seungdo also had feelings for him. Actually that would explain the pang he feels when he sees Yegeon talking with a woman at work.
Seems like they were "brothers" because they lived together and took care of one another, but eventually it became more for both of them, but they were too scared to break the status quo/really look at that head on until things were broken.

Has anyone read ahead to know what happens between Genas and the Empress? Does she get kicked out? Do they remain together? If so, does it end up being consensual or is she crazy the whole time? I'm expecting some character development from her, a lot of her jealousy seems to stem from her misunderstanding that he loved Enoch's mother. Even though in reality she was raping him and he just didn't resist because she was pitiful. I don't think she understands the relationship between the brothers tbh, she thinks he views him like a son because he loved the mother when really it's that they both survived living with a mentally ill person that traumatized them both. She was the saddest thing he'd ever seen and her saddest moment was her dying pitifully and asking him to take care of her son... Or am I forgetting something? I don't think he ever said he loved her? But the empress thinks it's because of Enoch's eyes. Like Genas is seeing his "first love's" eyes. He cried when she raped him that first time, but I also feel like maybe now after all this time he might not hate her? Like he knows she's obsessed with him. Idk, just a feeling. Will probably age like milk. This could totally end up being her being the next "big bad", with the main characters patching things up and ousting her together.

Genas crying was depicted in one of the recent chapters. I want to say this new one. It was when the empress was thinking back on how she "bought" him, it shows tears running down his face.
Genas saying he doesn't love Enoch's mother comes from the flashback of their past. When Enoch happens to see them he drops his book and when he comes back for it he's caught by Genas and asks why he's doing it and if it's because he loves his mother and he says no and that resisting wouldn't change anything so why bother resisting.
The pity thing id have to look again, I think it comes from around when she asked Genas to look out for Enoch. Can't remember, but the rest above I just saw today earlier.

She doesn't realize that him using magic to instantly teleport to her is a sign... She even just mentioned that they're the magic pillar of support! He's like "Don't you dare marry! But also, let me adopt you into my family as my daughter". ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Her accidentally acing mother's test was hilarious too, she really came there prepared to save some innocent girl from her son! Both parents are like "my son is trash".
I can't wait for this to come to light.
Also, she's so worried about her commoner background, which seems like it's already taken care of with her new grandfather (and really her family in general).

Hopefully he learns to feel emotions right and learns right and wrong, right now he seems to just be pathetic towards everyone, even his fellow students, and he seems to just be obsessed with her. He's emotionally at Claude's level, arguing with him about how she loves him the most. Maybe being around him will help him learn? I think it's just heading towards him spiraling out of control so far tbh...
The story was decent and I think the comments are a bit over the top about the threat letter. It was like less than a chapter of miscommunication because in the moment she was scared and wanted to protect Kassel so she tried to distance herself. She very quickly realized her mistake and told him everything next chapter and now everyone knows the truth and all that's left is to find the one who cursed her.
