I was really excited when I found out this got an adaptation, but the pacing is much quicker than the novel. If I hadn't read it prior to this, I probably would've been confused. It's still enjoyable but much better if you've read it before already. To anyone interested, the novel has better pacing and they have more tension, at least in my opinion. I'll link the novel below to anyone curious!

The story is lackluster, it kinda feels like they're just making it up as they go. I mean It's not terrible, I've read worse, but the art is definitely the only reason I'm still reading it.
If you want to enjoy this, turn your brain off while you read it. And maybe wait until theres a hundred chapters or so. (¬_¬”)
I lowkey wish they were able to work out a compromise with the director. He obviously has a shit ton of knowledge about the Rakshasha world and is against the King of Naraka. They would benefit from having him on their side greatly. Really wish he didn't have to die
I can't lie, I actually like the empress as a character. In no way do I support her actions or the way she treats Etienne, but I enjoy her writing.
She a cruel, calculated, and cold mother. She'd do anything to get Etienne on the throne. No matter who she has to sacrifice. She's a genuine and well thought out villain. Don't jump me, I'm just expressing how I like her character, not that I necessarily like her specifically.
That dog is passing me off
Like you cannot be screwing with this dude, he's risking his life in dungeons and all you're doing is messing him up
I've waited over a year for volume 3 to come out, when I first found this I was a little put off by the kinky stuff in the beginning, but I grew used to it. This was honestly such an interesting read, the plot, the art, the characters, their design, everything was stunning and written incredibly well. I cannot express the amount of joy this gave me. I wish we would see the child M took in growing up, but I know that won't happen. This filled me with so many emotions that I'm sad it's over. I'll definitely be revisiting this whenever I need a quick re-read.
No bc I seriously thought this would be angsty and sweet. Not whatever the fuck this shit is . Does this dumbest not see how disgusted his servant is? This is not how you treat your lover dawg.. Get this man some serious help.
AND BRING BACK SHAME!! NO MORE GOLDEN SHOWERS!
The translation made me giggle, as long as you don't try to think too hard then it's fine lol
God this is so messed up. I knew how bad it was as soon as I started comparing them to dark fall characters. I felt so utterly disgusted whenever they raped him, I know this Is dark and I'll probably finish it, but that dosent mean I enjoy this. Half the time I just squint and scroll through the sex scenes, It's just disturbing. I hope before anyone reads this that they read the comments first, I probably should've done that. But I have a "fuck around and find out" mentaility with these things, not something aibwould recommend.
If you're planning to read this then please heed the warnings.
Adding stuffs along as I find interesting ones.
