Are we gonna talk about how he did that in his sleep though

well what I'm saying is that the story isn't treating what Suha did as rape. Suha himself seems to think that the director wouldn't be particularly bothered by it (and he's keeping it a secret because he feels embarrassed, not guilty). And we know they've had a fair amount of sex off-screen. So it's not totally strange that they may have discussed somnophilia or had an understanding that it was okay.
I definitely think that this is a case of the author having somewhat unhealthy ideas about consent. Either that or they're being irresponsible about how they depict in the story. It definitely makes me feel concerned that younger readers will get the wrong idea about what is and is not okay in a relationship though.

Is this worth the read? I started the first few chapters and I don’t know if it’s the pacing or the translation but it doesn’t flow very well, it feels off

I'm on chapter 8 and imo, no. The ML is basically coerced and threatened into sex and constantly dressed as a woman until he is "rewarded" for his sex to be allowed to wear clothing from his homeland. I find it quite disgusting just as I find the stories where the FL is coerced into sex by the ML disgusting.

Its not sexual abuse. Abuse is a term of physically inflicting a person. and the ML agreed to it anyway. Although FORCED to agree. Because look at his situation: spoils of war, he belonged to the empress so she has a right.
His situation is more like a lot better than the princess in khanata. With that bitch he is actually abused.
You guys say nothing about that?

Yo what in the-- take a long look at what you just said.
Trading one form of abuse and oppression for another is still bad even if it is "better," oppression and abuse is still oppression and abuse and both still have long-lasting negative affects on a person whether it be physical or emotional or both. And he doesn't seem to be in a much better situation idk what you're saying lol. He was still forced to cross dress and was coerced into sex, which is a form of sexual abuse. He was still emasculated and treated like a form of disposable entertainment. The only difference is my dude isn't lead around by chain and collar, which isn't even close to being a big difference.

Have you reached the part where the ML said that his life is a lot more better with the empress than with princess of khanata?
He DEFINITELY said that.
I just referred to what he felt. If he thinks his life is better with the empress okay abused to force sex then it is a lot better then.
I didnt say his life is better with empress BASED on what i have observed. It is what HE said the ML itself.
Does this have an update schedule?
