I just started reading and my anger issues cannot handle this. When will we get to the chapter in the prologue(chapter 1) where she was in the midst of stepping down as empress and marry Lionel our Babygirl? I cannot handle this shit.
AND THE DISGUST I have for that Emperor. He is so disgusting and pathetic I swear. Biggest loser. I have no sympathy. Literally fucked a woman who looks like his mother. EW

this is so real, I know many people go through this. It is always those who were not treated properly and raised properly to be ready for adult life. He doesn't know his rights, his boundaries and work politics and whatnot. Like even I, though I was prepared by my parents and aunt, did make mistakes. Because it is hard. Especially growing up in a world that is all about corporate, hierarchy and whatnot. But, I did not let my boss just take out his shit on me forever. I did draw boundaries and all. Worked only as much as I thought it was worth, for the money I got and for the fact I did not want to advance in that company and just leave after I find myself a new place. Dude is literally assaulting his employee and nothing is happening, like what the fuck man. And it's sadly, because he doesn;t know his rights. hhhhhh this makes me sooo maid and so sad damn

I recommend you the movie "the whale". Is with a very famous actor, who was sa'd in real life by some Hollywood bigwig and spiralled down into depression and ptsd because of all the shit he went through after that. It's his amazing cameo, where he plays an obese man with issues.
Gist and a mini spoiler of the story is, that he is someone who came out gay later in life and divorced his wife. He found a lover and they were super happy and lived together. But his lover had deeeeeeep religious trauma. So this dude went and committed suicide, because of all the religious indoctrination that was eating him from inside, while he was with his lover. Like this contrast of him loving this man so much, versus the shit he grew up with hearing all his life, it destroyed his mind. Is so sad. And not a one time thing.

the part of "he is gay, I am straight" is so annoying. Yeah, everyone can decide for themselves who and what they define themselves as. But this is on the author. I dunno if it's a Japanese situation to not be aware of the fact that you cannot be straight and desire a man. It makes you part of the rainbow squad. You fall somewhere on the spectrum. Pan, Bi etc. But definitely not straight. A straight man would not be able to get hard for a man ever. Though in my opinion, finding truly straight people is a rarity in reality, but like....hhhh
Apart from that, it started off cute. Am curious how it goes, as the comments say the ratings are too low for the actual worth of the story.

Right? It’s the most annoying part of BL stories, the authors can’t understand that you can’t be straight and have sex with another man! That makes you either gay/bi/pan or something else, but definitely not straight! And for someone who never dated anyone, why does he consider himself straight? He was never interested in dating, neither women nor men. He looks to me more like a panromantic demisexual, but whatever he is, he’s not straight at all XD

Yeah! Like I am not sure about the Uke either, but I guess he is gay. There are gay men who have kids after all. Who closet so hard. And they just think they have no sex drive or is „normal“ the longer you are together. Maybe ar some point cannot hold it in and start seeing men in secret, but they don’t feel anything for women. No sexual attraction or anything. They force themselves.

is absolutely gorgeous. Top tier. I have read thousands of Webtoons, magazines, mahwha etc, so I mean t when I say that. Such amazing art. But like....everything else is a bit..???

Gurl, when i said superficial, I didn't mean the (second time) they had sex. (First time was rape.). I meant the story itself. I am waiting as well. But I just made a comment on how it is NOW. This was not a prognosis for the whole story. Just about the first two chapters. I hope it fleshes out more and we get to know more about them, see them connect more and get more of a story. Right now I love how they look, especially Tengu, but I cannot relate, cause we got barely any info about the characters to understand and be able to relate to them.

I was refering to the overall story. There is plenty happening in the story tbh, him getting demoted/transferred, monologuing about stuff and meeting a stranger he goes along with.
As I mentioned elsewhere, this is a mature story. They are NOT action or drama packed, they tend to be realistic and have the pace set accordingly. So him being transferred, monologueing AND having a one-night stand sorta meeting is VERY normal paced or even fast for the fact it has only happened in 1 chapter.
Not every story with the mature tag will have lots of impressive stuff happening. It IS a tag for mature audiences and is often similar to slice of life, just with less boredom in it since it does tend to have an interesting plot.
2 chapters is barely an introduction, mind you. We only got the premise and character personalities introduced. The story you might be looking for is them getting to know each other and falling in love, likely the MC deciding what his future job will be too (maybe also some mafia shennanigans to give some upstir). So far, there is really not much to judge.
If it's superficial to you that people have a one night stand and meet after that again, then that's simply based on taste, because most people don't really mind this as it is normal that characters start interacting based on a chance encounter.
(Also, not all stories will bother making an effort for you to relate to them. You either like a person as they are or not. And there are plenty people who like Tengu's type of mafia character, they are VERY beloved in general unless they turn unhinged.)
Pretty sure this just boils down to the plot being not your thing due to the mature tag factor and realism.
I am so glad I persevered and read and the updates were far enough so that I could stop reading this at a point that would not give me indigestion. Phew. She is free from hat disgusting pathetic mofo and with our beautiful lionel. phew. now I can muster up patience to let this marinate for a while.
