I feel bad for varabus I can't lie maybe it would've went differently if he just became friends with Ennid but I would like to thank him because he gave us Glunn and Ennid and YALL did yall peep the kids? IJBOL
I think that’s why the author highlighted that had he become close and helped Ennid, it would’ve ended up in an exploitative relationship as varabus still would’ve had to use ennid’s abilities to claim his spot at the palace… the author made us understand that not everything is black and white, there isn’t really an alternative reality where they just become friends and everything’s good, just like in this reality it isn’t just that varabus is this evil ennemy that’s simply cruel by nature.
I've come to the conclusion this story is bull shit. I will continue to read because I wanna see what I read animated but this is overall bs. The novel readers trying to justify the Top raping and doing all this to the bottom because he did it first is dumb. Yes, the bottom is in the wrong and does have shifty personality but after the whole gangrape situation the revenge was over. He already leaked him, he raped him and he got away with doing so. Yes the bottom has a shitty personality, yes the bottom still acts the same despite what's happened to him. Yes the bottom migh've deserved getting rated but that's it anything else is literally just for the plot. Overall both are shitty people that need to stay together to control the other and so they harm nobody else
So this is just a theory but if you have reading comprehension context clues and real world knowledge you'll get what im talking about so boom. I think ju-yeon was a victim ok this is how so way back then he must've had a crush on some dude who only wanted him for his pretty face and body and basically he used ju-yeon. So, ju-yeon to get revenge kidnapped him and did what he's doing to Kwon to him but worse. I think the guy committed suicide in the end.
Which is why Ju-yeon was so shocked at Kwon saying he'll just off himself and why when he was going overly overly overly overly OVERLY crazy on Kwon that he was saying allat about doing anything for him because he has a pretty face and whatever. Which could add on to the theory that instead of Ju-yeon getting revenge it was because he used his pretty face to his advantage that he was able to fulfill his sadistic urges. Now Kwon is his second victim it's like a reincarnation to Ju-yeon that's why he wants to call him hyung because the 1st was his hyung and why he wants to trap Ju-yeon, control him and prevent him from going because that's exactly what the 1st one did only through death clearly. So...all in all this is victim turned abuser turned even worse abuser. There was no revenge really it was projection of one's trauma onto another because both bottoms wanted him because of his pretty face. Though idk tho this is just a theory (I'm also currently on chapter 30 typing this)
I dont know if I want to know more about the real world or fantasy because in the real world the priestess screamed that Layla was possessed by a demon and shes talking bout eitch of the forest, but in the fantasy world woojin is trapped in Williams consciousness but the guy is saying they're taking form of people from his memories and since Woojin is back in his original form im wondering what that means...or it could be like sunglasses or not they're both interesting plot points








If I had to be honest besides all the rape and abuse ans allat this is a good psychological story it's only issue for me is the fact it's so slow paced. Like everything is happening so slowly it's like so much yet so little results and honestly I was bored. I think im gonna wait till the climax to start reading becsuse the only enjoyable part was really when Jerome lost interest. But I like the characters they're cool complex wise
