the whole lead up with the old ass Tako-ancestor, “nah it’s gentle, it’s ‘fluids’ have barely any aphrodisiac” we all know that ain’t gonna be the case when they get there.. rip MC ╮(￣▽￣)╭
i know this is “the plot” and actual world building is dogshit lmao. “making them into a female” and shit like “my female” is hella degrading imo. if anything in a world where ONLY the “feminized” men can have children wouldnt that mean the “female” men are WAY MORE VALUABLE? if anything the “females” should be given like- special right of way n stipends from the government or some shit. ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
this shit gets me so emotional (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
i love reading this but everytime she has those “moments” with her abusive brothers, and the “male leads” that are her only hope that i’m like “WAHHH ALL SHE WANTED WAS A FAMILYYYYYY SHE DOESNT EVEN WANT THESE MEN SHE JUST WANTS TO LIIIIIVE” no one FL should carry this much burden bruh. i mean shit even Ines and her blonde boytoy get to be happy in her third life (iykyk). but penny?? penny only gets misery upon misery upon misery, and no one to trust. what can her father do? really? whose gonna believe that the “long lost daughter” is part of some waco cult? i doubt i could’ve survived as long as she did, i would’ve offed mysef from the get go, or fled the country.
i get that royals have to be sensitive and wary but- SHE IS A SACRED FUCKIN BEAST why is it impossible to understand that SHE IS THE CAT?? Tbh if i was her i’d run tf away. obviously that won’t happen, and also where would she go? she’s a beautiful woman who’d probably get attacked (ik, gross) and as a cat she’s easy pickings for literally any other animal.
I hope the emperor like- idk tortures himself in guilt
ヾ(☆▽☆)
also- if i was her i’d be fuckin pissed. (ik this is a brain rot porn story but let me play pretend a bit) some pompous asshat KILLED me for my genes? bc hot?? hell nah, i'm either killin him (prob failing) or killin myself, bc nothing brings me more pleasure than seeing some “powerful” douchebag ACTUALLY get karma. (づ￣ ³￣)づ but that’s just imo
ok first of all, every character in this comic has severe trust issues stemming from dogshit parents. nora is/was abused n neglected, shuri was fuckin sold, her children lost both biological parents, the bitchboi prince has a mommy complex, i could go on.
aside from the mountain of therapy everyone needs…
this comic portrays the disgustingly wide gap between “commoners” and “nobles” in such a REAL way. also the sexism (ik it’s historically accurate) makes my modern self clench my fists. i def couldn’t be a noble in the traditional sense bc ain’t no way a man gonna tell me how to be. pompous asshats fr
shuri’s dead husband deserved a *more painful* death. i don’t care that he was sick n probably in pain. he deserved to be run over by a carriage. history tends to glorify horrible, horrible people and ig dead marquise is the same.
ik these sound like gripes, but i really like the story
Harada has a very interesting type of storytelling. I’m all for some good ol fashion “trauma” for character development and plot.. but there is no reason to include SO FUCKING MUCH CP. “it’s momos past” but why did it need to happen? it’s trauma porn.
It’s fetishizing and capitalizing off an incredibly real, and incredibly traumatizing situation that millions of children experience. It’s not sexy, it’s not funny. “oh wow momo is so strong for overcoming his trauma” but why exactly did momo need to have so much trauma just to end up with a possessive wolf-like bf? why expose a character to such levels of violence only to slap a “happily ever after” on it?
For what? To entertain? Why is there a panel of momo at like- 10 talking about how his client pisses in his mouth. why? that was not only written, but it was PROOFREAD, SENT TO PRINT, AND TRANSLATED.
ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
Reirin is the crown princes cousin. *sweet home alabama~* *the family tree is a wreathe~”
which. albeit, was normal at the time (hence why many people sharing “royal” bloodlines have clotting disorders n other inbreeding remnants OR have died out completely do to sterility n shit)
(づ￣ ³￣)づ but this is fantasy so i’ll ignore it.
I truly don’t even understand the plot point this copy and pasted villainess (short haired one) is gonna do bc the FL is basically invulnerable, has a batshit crazy fiancé, is acquainted w the empress, is friends w the crown prince, and has like a literal DEMON OF FIRE hosted within her body that she can quite easily tune into and blow the capital to pieces. and this villainess thinkin her lil plot gonna do anything? It’s her funeral
(●'◡'●)ﾉ
I thought “oh how cute, she’s adorable, a quirky lil noble story :3” but THE CASUAL/ACCEPTED INCEST?? HELL NAH. WHY DO AUTHORS CASUALLY INCLUDE INCEST LIKE THAT. “they’re not biologically related” BRO SHE GOT DEADASS *ADOPTED* I couldn’t keep reading when she went “ulysses is way more handsome” DAWG HES UR BROTHER?? ITS BEEN *VERY* IMPLIED SHE WILL BE THEIR *adopted* CHILD. ALSO SHES 7? Do 7 year old illiterate kids develop crushes like that? she came from an abuse af environment and instead of traditional trauma responses she’s immediately like “damn he’s hot.” it just feels really weird!
ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
authors need to stop romanticizing incest, family trees SHOULD NOT BE WREATHES THEY SHOULD NOT COME FULL CIRCLE.
but this, this author might go “but she wasn’t TeChNiCaLlY added to the family so it’s not incest, so it’s fine”
I don’t know if it’s the translation, or if I’m just dumb.. But even in the first chapter I’m confused. Manhua tends to be translated.. interestingly.. so i’m sure that doesn’t help, but tbh this seems like a typical “weak mc gets strong and attracts hot ladies” idk if ill continue this ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I only censored slavery because idk what bots moderate this godforsaken site (jk) my running theories are - author is racist (in A LOT of cases) - white-knight/savior complex for the MC to “save” the slave - a plot point for the MC to be a liberated slave, to “earn” their freedom- making it a “cool/tragic backstory” - P*rn Σ( ￣□......
the entire time i was reading this i was like- annoyed. this is gonna take 70 chapters for them to communicate (if they ever do). ML is a piece of shit who manipulated the FL who was/is (SEVERLY) neglected. HE KNEW she was neglected and yet he pulls shit like that? making her jealous? even his aid played a part, constantly egging her on.. this is so tragic. This FL is so pitiful, she has no one. not one confidant in this entire world, there has never been anyone for her. even her friend is helpless, im sure the FL didn’t even talk to her friend about the abuse she endures constantly. i’m surprised her child is even alive considering the stress she’s under ALL THE TIME.
(︶︿︶)＝凸 fuck the ML and the FL needs therapy and not a manipulative cunt- oh sorry “king”
What’s the point? War is horrible, war is profitable only for those who never even touch the battlegrounds, why even have a CHILD MC on the battlegrounds being brutalized not only by her commanding officer (fye she totally would’ve died if it wasn’t for plot armor, being forced to watch her friends be blown to bits.. all for what? what plot is this? Of course stories about war are important, for us to understand how horrible it is, how intriguing the strategies behind them are, and to show how nations were built/destroyed but why is the author subjecting a CHILD to this? (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Being a dick and telling your partner “you can’t talk to them because if they assaulted you you’d forgive them” (basically what he said) is *psychotic* to say lmao.
Hazuki deserves to get beaten tf up after that, like c’mon man your partner has shared details of his DEEPLY TRAUMATIC ASSAULT and as an Omega he is constantly doubted/ignored and also blamed for anything and everything. Naoto does not need an alpha to “control” or “protect” him he needs a partner who can love and support him. If he needs something to protect him he can get a taser, a dog, or a GLOCK (jk).
reading this translation is like trying to decipher a riddle but the riddle was translated 3x using google translate. (￣∇￣")
like she is ASLEEP- or at the very least her body is paralyzed (because when you sleep your body doesn’t want you to fuck around- it paralyzes ur muscles n shit so you can’t move freely)
Somnophilia is one thing- as long as both parties are consenting. SHE CANNOT CONSENT BRUH (⊙…⊙ )

this author needs to do research on actual queer relationships.. and also not make non-con and blatant homophobia THE ONLY plot point? like babe it’s 2024? i get that japan isn’t exactly.. progressive when it comes to IRL queer issues- but c’mon enough queer content exists that you can skim through and get an idea. i’m not comin back to this lol
