guys why is this actually kinda sad bro that human rights violation tag really meant it
mmm this is the problem with every child caring manhwa, it starts to grow dull when they stop focusing on the kids and start prioritizing romanceā¦
i left this story to marinate and oh my god. i have so many thoughts.
first off, i genuinely donāt care if enochās mother was under the family curse. i understand she was deeply deeply in love with the emperor, but by no means did that excuse her horrible parenting. she already knew enoch was being abused and discriminated against and in addition to that, she neglected him? she didnāt even try to protect, only ever saying ālisten to the emperorā okay you love him, but enough to excuse his behavior towards your child? PLUS she was so neglectful and it pissed me off seeing her favor the fourth prince JUST because he looked like the emperor. truly, she was a horrible mother. not to mention, enoch wouldāve gone his whole life unaware of the curse of the fourth prince never brought his mother to this palace that night. youāre telling me the bitch was going to let her son just suffer??? iām glad sheās dead.
second off, i really love the fourth prince or shall i say the emperorās character. he is just a well-built character. the only thing i hate is that he was in love with the previous empress. oh my god, could they have not written it out? failing in love with your stepmother who only sees you as her husband? iām not sure if it was true but it was implied they did sleep together and i just think thatās nasty. the age gap isnāt even the worse thing itās the fact theyāre step-family and the empress never loved him! i wouldāve been fine if the author wrote it out to be him wanting power so he stuck to the empress or maybe even him wanting motherly affection. but his first love? how fucking disgusting. korean authors try not to write rape and incest challenge when?
third, i love a complicated character. which is why in addition to loving the emperor, i also love the empress. you guys want complicated, complex, morally gray characters until its a woman. NOW i understand, sheās a rapist! and idc if you guys think itās not rape because he agreed to it, it was still rape because he only did it to save his brother! i still despise the fact that the empress is a rapist but she is incredibly well written. sheās powerful, ambitious, strong, sheās quite literally one of the best characters in this story. i just hate how the author reduced her to a rapist. you can still be strong and arrogant WITHOUT being a rapist? yk? iām not sure how i feel about the romance between the emperor and empress, it will take a lot of healing and apologizing and understanding for them to even be able to like each other. i am also completely fine with no romance between them. i just hate that such a powerful character was given to a rapist. OH also before some bitch yaps ting about misogyny and double standards. EVEN IN OTHER MANHWAS where the ML is a RAPIST, i still would hate him!!! using rape as a plot point is seriously lazy writing.
i remember my girl juliet being hated at the beginning and i am a defender til the day i die! imagine being deceived and lied to and SOLD to another country without your consent?? honestly idc how nice the guy is, i got married without my consent, fuck yeah i would resent him also you bitches will complain saying āshe couldāve talked to him blah blah blahā just because a man is nice, doesnāt mean she needs to reciprocate it? she was thrown into a foreign country with barely knowing anyone. of course she would go mad. also, again, yāall hate complex characters when itās a woman! iām glad she was morally ambiguous and selfish! iām tired of seeing angels who fall in love within five chapters even after being sold out! she was a real ass character.
now enoch. my love ā®( ̄ā½ļæ£)ā ugh iām an enoch and juliet defender until the day i DIE. my otp fr! i just wish nothing but the best for him. he was abused and neglected by BOTH parents then sent off to die at war and heās cursed to never be loved by the person he loves like BRO WHAT while i do agree he has self-destructing issues and he is a very bad communicator, once again like i said with juliet, he is a complicated character. and i am a defender. of course he would be self-destructive! his life has been horrible! and he knows heāll die soon so heās just waiting for it to end. i just wish he and juliet heal and live together forever.
now regarding that BITCH ass princess sister!!! dude i get it, youāre sad that your fav sibling got killed but YOU got SPARED when everyone else DIED! and your servant got spared because you BEGGED enoch ??? and now youāre just gonna betray him not to mention the fucking terrible reason āwho would ever befriend a powerless princeā WELL FUCK YOU CUS HES THE DUKE NOW ?? ugh im so mad, like just when i think enoch can have his happy ending, some bitch tries to ruin it. i think the cutie princess can stay because sheās done nothing but im scared for the other girl since sheās so hell vent on revenge
why is it that in a child-caring manhwa, the main plot is usually never the child?? itās even worse when the story was good but they introduce some bum lame ass male lead and now the storyās degraded to a third rate romance with horrible development. this shouldāve stuck to her trying to survive as the ladyās maid. not fucking falling in love with the young master who BTW she saw as a child?? and sheās a fully grown adult grown adult mentally??
ughā¦i donāt like where this is going. itās giving lookism. i hope the author doesnāt turn this into some gang fighting manhwa. i came for the wholesomeness and the family, hoping we donāt lose the point of the plot. idk why korean authors love to add gangs and fighting into their school stories
i know he wants the power and money because he worked his whole life for it but lowkey i want him to grow tired to the point heās willing to abandon it all and when he finally leaves, tae gon will regret it ugh i love me a chasing arc
honestly i wouldnāt have cared if they werenāt brothers who grew up together. why couldnāt yall have made them childhood friends with parents who were friends with one another
BBOOMSHAKALAKAAAAA YES GOD IVE PRAYED FOR TIMES LIKE THIS
ahjusshiā¦iām legal⦠(āøāøāø- į“ -āøāøāø ;)
see i like this so much better because sheās a consenting freak

god forbid we have consenting femdom ik bitches are gonna yap about how i shouldnāt read if i donāt like LMAO idc i can do what i want. this shit is hell booty iām only staying for the femdom smut otherwise wouldāve dropped how is it that all these authors love rape and non-con not to mention the forced BL bro got raped by a woman and a man ughā¦also BROTHER FUCKER you got fine ass knight over here willing to do anything for you and serve you but you wanna fuck your brother iām still in for the smut but turning my head off
