what a way to start a series ig- seme is a total asshole, i feel bad for the uke. obviously the seme “loves” the uke but he’s DOGSHIT at communication, and the power imbalance between them is just icing on the cake. the uke would be homeless without the seme’s family, he has no stable attachments to anyone and feels like he has to be “useful” to stay. poor guys gonna be hella maladjusted.

obviously the kiddo is going to make great advancements is alchemy and do wonderful shit for the kingdom/world but.. like.. c’mon man.. if the first prince went to another kingdom and was like “yeah i’m an alchemist who made life in a flask but i’m locked away in a corner of the palace and im not allowed to see my family at all :)” that is HORRIBLE PR. let alone when he’s older and makes like- cures for diseases/conditions while still being the bastard prince. imagine the common folk learning that their hella gifted first prince is treated like trash. it looks bad on the country, and would sow resentment in the common folk against nobility n shit.

mannnnn BDSM is one of those kinks where communication is the BIGGEST thing. you have to establish each others limits, safe words, etc.. and neither of them are great at communication. also- the choking was ick. choking someone to the point of being unconscious (REPEATEDLY??) is a sure fire way of depriving their brain of oxygen and potentially cause brain damage… this is like.. soft snuff. not BDSM, just sexualized violence.
if richard could he’d prob be drawn n quartered for pleasure Σ(っ°Д °;)っ

this FL isn’t great. she just sorta exists in the palace. she doesn’t do much aside from fuck and give therapy to the ML.
from the get go she was smitten w the ML and that whole “seduce THEN kill” plan flew out the window.. where is the badass assassin stuff? and why the fuck is every other guy in the series abusive toward her? the CP, her “brother,” the royal cabinet, etc.. the emperor being like “my b” after his appointed heir attempted to hit the FL (AGAIN) has me like

ik there’s only 7 chaps as of yet but c’mon man. “hey you were disowned and sent to a covenant.. but now that ur bro is gone u gotta protect the country!” literal braindead recycled plot. she was prob sent away to “protect her” but AS ALWAYS THERES A LACK OF COMMUNICATION AND ALL THE BLAME IS PUT ON THE FUCKIN FL. she doesn’t even want to rule the kingdom or go to the capital, the ML came and GOT HER.. BROUGHT HER INTO THE POLITICAL STRIFE.. “i will protect you THIS time” yeah sure buddy.
