Okay, I love this story and always have since day one. However, as an artist myself (I have painted since I was 8 years old), I am not liking the visual look of the characters. Toma is no longer cute, but freaky looking. The adults are no longer attractive. Something is just off. Sigh, can we please return to the old art style? Did a new artist take over, and thought the changes would not be noticable?
This last chapter bothered me. Historically, people have used poison to take out their enemies. Even though Raymond and Elijah did not know that Carlyle snitched to Edmund, they should not have ate anything he brought to the table. At the end the day, he is HIS MOTHER'S SON!!! THIS was a grievous miscalculation on their part. However, if he survive, Carlyle WILL LEARN 2 VALUABLE LESSONS: KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND DON'T EAT EVERYBODY'S FOOD!
Lmaooo “keep your mouth shut and don’t eat everybody’s food”
Now, even I from time to time have been sympathetic to Edmund; however, he is NOT the only victim in this story. If you think about it, Raymond's life parallel Edmund. As a child, he was a victim of his environment (just as Jeremy and Elijah were to theirs).
However, even stating all of this, Edmund is not stupid! He is a child, like all the children here, who was thrown into this violent political world. He like everyone else have to be accountable for his own actions. Instead of confronting Raymond, what did he do? He reported the information to his mother's assassin. He had to know that by repeating this information, he was picking a side and that side was with his mother. From this perspective, Edmund is NO VICTIM but an active player on the chest board. Carlyle is a victim of his innocence, youth, and ignorance.
Dear author, we are tired of the forced scenes! This is NOT the 1970s or early 1980s when people tried to make this crap romantic with the victim falling in love with the rapist! When we know better we do better. Read the room and get with the times. Your story doesn't need it. Make the ML be a psychological head case, but STOP WITH THE RAPE SCENES. It tells us more about what you are all about instead of some work of fiction!
It's been rape since the beginning with a clear and obvious fetish for coersion and force so if you're still here at this point that's on you lol
I know that Carlyle is young; however, he needs to learn when to close his mouth. By telling Edmund about Rion, it could put him and Elijah in more danger.
Exactly. In my mind I’m just like keep quiet Carlyle. Because he can’t close his mouth he’s getting his family in trouble, it’s irritating
i understand your frustrations, i really do, but thinking about it another way, carlysle is also a victim in this mess and he just really wanted to get along with his new brother (i.e. by being comfortable around him to mention such details). i was really hoping they could be close brothers still ╥﹏╥
Although I know that Grandma is probably dead, I hope that they are having 1 last adventure before the end. I am feeling sad.
Most of the time, we get stories all over the place, with no clear directions! However, this story NEVER failed flat. I was invested from the start. I honestly want more! Write about them until they are old and decrepit. Tell us about the rebuild and will the father marry the former traitor? ( Sorry, I still do not like her.). Sighs, if this is the end, I guess I have to accept it gracefully.
Okay, is it just me, or has anyone else noticed the complexity of the ML? At times, he shows glimpses of being thoughtful and kind. However, it is countered by forced intercourse, demeaning behavioral, and an arrogant disconnect with reality.
That last scene makes him look like a machine rather than human. Who is he really? We already know that he was raised by a neglectful nasty father. However, I am tired of that being used in plots to justify a crappy ML. However, I must say that the uke is a little too submissive (wishy washy type) for my taste. Although I do not like most of the ML actions, there is something about him (that je nais sais quoi aspect) that I find appealing at time (unlike other crappy ML in similar stories).
I do like the cute kid however. Show more kid.
He's clearly hiding some secrets. The reason why he refused to date omegas. The reason why he broke up with MC back in the past. Why he didn't follow him into Korea sooner. There is so much to answer
This is what I want to say. There's more than his shtty persona
Yeah.
For my own interpretation he's just a young college kid who simply didn't wanted a committed loving relationship. And as some one else had pointed out to me chapters past, is that he simply didn't wanted to impregnate an omega, and get bonded to an omega. That's a pretty simple explanation.
Accidents can happen. And in this case, even though he had avoided relationships with omegas to prevent that from happening it still happened regardless.
It's similar to a lot of tropes I've seen where the CEO had been drugged and the female lead had been drugged, or one got too drunk, woke up the next day next to a stranger, and end up having a contract marriage. Or the baby momma runs away. Only to be reunited years later.
I am so happy to see the English translation of this will be sold on Amazon!
