I actually like a lot of this authors work. (S)he defied a lot of stereotypes in the old works. But her/his recent works all have light haired guys as the uke. Not deifying the light haired uke stereotype at all. Disappointed.
I liked MDZS and was looking for similar novels. I started reading this because someone recommended this. Big mistake. I honestly could not continue with this. Too much r@pe and torture.
And what's with Mo Ran... is he an idiot... How oblivious can one be about their own thoughts.. I understand he did not know about Waning's feelings or his effort.. It's understandable he is oblivious about that.. but your own feelings.. And how does that give him any right to trample on other people.
Even after reincarnation he is the same idiot. He still has disgusting thoughts and gets jealous and irrationally possessive. The plot is too rape and rape thoughts centric and romance (from Waning's side. I don't understand why you would have to put up with that shit just because you love him).
I read in the comments that he does change for the better, but I am not sure if it's worth reading the whole thing for the redemption.
He does go through a major redemption arc, aside from the SA, he's a very morally grey character based off his back story which is super dark.
There's basically a major plot twist which will explain his horrible unjust hatred for Chu Wanning and why he became Taxian-Jun.
Again it doesn't excuse what he did but it does add some background to it. (Also yes he is a huge idiot)
Honestly, going by the official novel, his redemption arc really starts in novel 3 and you truly see his change of character by 4.
The ending I felt like it wasn't enough with the amount of torture that most characters go through, it felt a bit rushed ykno? I was told there would be a happy ending but it felt more bittersweet.
Overall this novel is truly dark, I don't recommend it to you. I think if you want MDZS related stuff, a good start would be reading other MXTX novels like Heavenly Official Blessings or SVSSS.
I hope this helps! (as someone who finished the novel yesterday)
Based on what I read so far, I can only describe him as morally dark :(
I don't mind reading some dark stuff, but this just has tooo much explicit dark stuff. I at least need the abuser to suffer and grovel (Even then I sometimes don't feel they deserve forgiveness. Especially in r@pe cases.) and an extraordinary redemption arc for such works. But based on your comment, that doesn't seem to be the case :(
I think I will skip this. Thanks for providing more information on this though :)
Yeah. I read all of MXTX works, truly love them :)
This is hilarious. The interactions between the emperor and his dragon are so funny. Cracks me up every time.
I have a very bad feeling about this. Could some one tell me if this has child r@pe or similar things.
Seriously this site needs mandatory Trigger Warning when creating a new manga.
HUH??
Sorry that was random
I understand how this might be random from my part. But lately I am having really bad luck with these things. Authors just put Child r@pe or prostitution in manga for no apparent reason and with no prior warning. And as usual shove everything under the rug as if this is not a serious topic and even write explicit scenes.
So just me trying to save my sanity by getting to know any such additions in advance.
I try to tag and put explicit Trigger Warnings in such cases as well, since I am sure there are people like me who do not want to be hit in the face with such scenarios or scenes suddenly.
No worries I completely understand. So much so when no discretion is advised especially when you're having a rough time and don't want to see anything of the sort. This genre tends to not only put it in their work but also romanticize a lot of it which just make people feel even worse. But to answer ur question no I don't think this has anything with children in it, I doubt it. It might have rape in it though but honestly speaking I'm not sure, only read up to chapter four. Someone said the raws go up to like ch 50 but I'm not sure myself
Agreed and Thank you :)
Even asking a question leads to downvoting? I just don't understand you people.
Trigger Warning - Pedophilia, Possible Child Rape, Possible Child Prostitution, Rape, Prostitution, Forced prostitution
Disgusting characters. Case of Rape fetishism. Too explicit. Not needed in the least.
Only saving grace is Yona. Had to skip a lot of parts to be able to read this.
Is there even a point in reading with so much skipping?
What do you mean "P3dophilia"?!
Mafia guy towards Chang-Il, he litch said that he “waited for him to grow up a bit”, there was even a whole chapter and it was disgusting and then r*ped him the first chance that he got when he was grown??
Mangago, stop editing my comments or add something like "edited by mangago" OR give me a notification and please tell what I said wrong.
I literally said only "It's better to read something you enjoy instead, isn't it". What's wrong with this question??
Unfortunately I came to know about the trigger events after I started reading. And just want to know how it works out for him. I did skip a lot of it to be honest ╮(￣▽￣)╭
This is exactly the reason I feel this site needs a mandatory Trigger Warning section on the manga page.
I agree with you that it does not make sense to read it by skipping so much, and I have in the past stopped reading manga with explicit child R@pe, child sexual torture since I found it very disgusting and disturbing. To the point that I can't stomach it and it triggers me even thinking about it. I curse those authors for even writing that shit.
Yeah, some sites at least have appropriate tags..
Agreed.. But even if you tag something in mangago, with so many tags, they are hardly visible. I prefer a separate trigger warning section just above the description. Makes it glaringly obvious..
Does anyone know what happened to Yokozawa No baai novel? Was Volume 7 ever released?
Trigger Warning : Rape, Child Rape (since they are in school), Incest
Just plain disgusting. Couldn't go past Page 5. Disgusting family like this is enough to ruin a child's life.
Also, again with the one brother having black hair and the other having blond. And somehow the blond is being abused. This is a recurring trend in BL. Light haired uke stereotype ensues. Twisted case of Racial domination and fetishism.
Eh technically, in Japan, legal age of consent is 16, so it's just plain rape >_<
japan recently raised it to 18
Oop aight. I rescind my comment. And, finally, it's about time.
Honestly I would be creeped out (putting it very lightly) if I had a family member who has such thoughts.
Even in this case, even if the brother doesn't know what he is thinking and did not act on it, who's to say he won't actually act on it in the near future. The way it's described in the introduction implies that has some serious issues, and needs to be locked up away from the brother.
I don't understand what author is thinking. This is serious rape fetishism.
That to Child rape fetishism. Disgusting.
The title is already a warning, there's a warning from the uploader too and you're complaining about what you just read? Just how dumb are you?
If you know about UX which means User experience, anything which follows the flow does not stand out. If you want something to stand out make it different. The uploaders has three warning pages, which actually follow the same theme. Pink with blue text. It's not glaringly obvious and also since most uploaders put warnings of not uploading the work somewhere even for the manga which seriously need Trigger warning, I have long since stopped reading it. That's the reason I was advocating for a separate section for Trigger Warnings which is glaringly obvious (if you have not seen the other comments).
Secondly, I no where said anything about the uploader, forget about complaining.
And I put a Trigger Warning when I comment on a work which needs these. Nothing specific about this work. It's my freedom, I don't see how that is causing you any pain.
Coming to the title implying incest, I was actually condemning the child rape (fetishism) part, and that too from a family member. No where did I talk about other cases of incest/ half-incest/ adopted incest etc. That's a different topic altogether.
And finally, there is something called as leaving an opinion in the form of a comment and condemning wrong things, may be read about it?
actually, u may be right. their laws r a little confusing. they recently lowered the age of “adulthood” from 20 to 18. and the age of consent was raised from 13 to 16. (however if ur 16 i think u can only consent with people around your age, not an adult.)
A whole ass essay lmfaooo
Absolutely love this work. BL with actual plot. Or more like a good story with BL :) Love the plot, story building and character development.
Small things have a plot of their own. Once I read the sub plot I could connect it to the small reference or object in the main plot. And these sub plots are not there just for the heck of it (I can't help but think of Great god Airplane here (lol)). They have meaning and carry emotional significance (which help in character development) or are very essential to the main plot itself.
The character development of Xie Lian is tremendous. From a naïve crown prince who is not aware of how world works to a scrap collector god who, despite being aware of the ugly side of the world could still keep his core values. And Taihua.. same as his master.. Refuses to discard his core values.
Just every character has a story and significance. Like in real life. We might not think some one is important and that is true from certain perspectives. But seeing the whole picture, everything is interconnected.
Love the comedy as well. I found it hilarious that Mu Qing and Feng Xin tried to rescue Xie Lian from Hua Cheng saying he has been stalking him (so true). Also the part where Goushi calls Hua Cheng scary. "He’s been stalking you for eight hundred years!
Scary, too scary! My fortunes really are too accurate!" (lol). Though I tend to agree, the devotion is real. And Xie Lian doesn't seem to mind, so that's what matters I guess.
Both Xie Lian and Hua Cheng are strong and don't interfere with the other's fight for no reason.
I read the novel while listened to the One Flower One Sword track and that somehow elevated the experience for me!!!
LOL I loved that scene of the Guoshi he was so outta pocket
Agreed :)
Spoilers again
I loved this part as well.. Hua Cheng slapping E-Ming and it falling to the ground and wailing as a child. This is hilarious.
Translating the alpha omega dynamic into men-women dynamic.. if a guy is born beautiful he becomes a girl/women? By this logic, with the number of babies who are born with beautiful features there should not be more than a few boys/men in this world. （￣へ￣）
And that disgusting brother. He is insinuating that he wants to help him with his so called heat.
It would be great if the people down voting to this would leave a comment here.. so as to understand why or what they are disagreeing to.
So they are just going to find him an alpha without confirming his secondary gender. Stupidity should have bounds.
So he is going to find a husband for power and also keep hitting on Inferna. I don't like where this is going. I hope I am wrong. I hate cheating and infidelity.
I am going to stop reading this now. Will check after at least 50 chapters are out.
Trigger Warning - Gore
This is such an interesting and unique concept. Loving it so far.
Quite different from other manga with Psychological tag, which tend to have r@pe as backstory or child abuse as main focus. Thank you Author for breaking that streak.
