Ah, the obligatory enemy falling off a cliff. Should we check? No, no need to check, he's definitely dead. Are you sure? It should be easy to send a team to recover the body. Nope nope, he fell off a cliff, so he has to be dead, and I'm sure it's the last we'll ever see of him. Yep, that guy definitely won't be popping up later.

Why aren't they keeping Soho out of sight?? With an army that big, it's very likely at least a few of the soldiers are spies for the emperor. It seems like it'd be easy for one of them to ride back to the capital, relay the information to the emperor, then the emperor can send people to kidnap Soho and bring him back to the capital.
Also, why is the prince out looking for a missing soldier? That in itself is weird, but to not have a small cadre of bodyguards with him is even weirder. I guess I'll suspend my disbelief for now since I do like this story so far.

I know it's fucked up, but I want him to end up with grey haired dude (hyeonje?). Jingj is too much of a dick, and I think grey haired dude can learn to be at least less of a dick.

I do remember that part. But, I don't think he'd actually do that, because at the end of the day he doesn't want Myeonggi to hate him. And, I think it's the opposite - Heongjae abuses him because he's spurred on by Jingi. Without Jingi in the picture, he might be able to have a relationship with Myeonggi. Not a normal one, but I think with a little affection, he'll learn not to take things to the same extremes as Jingi. It seems like most of his life people have despised him, and even though his brother kind of watches out for him, it's still not a great relationship. So it's possible that with some actual affection and human companionship vis a vis Myeonggi, it could really turn his character around. But now that I'm thinking about it, it's probably unlikely, because that would require Myeonggi to have feelings for him, and in the last chapter he seemed wholly uninterested.

Idk why so many people are hating on the side stories. I liked them, even though the ending was abrupt.

Well, the theme of children growing up and fuuucking their guardian o caretaker is very weird. The MC met his master as a child and would up together with him. Now their son wants to get with a demon who raised him like a nephew. (You also need be to remember that same “nephew” drugged him because he wants to sleep with him even though he has made it clear he only saw the MC’s son as family/like a nephew, especially since he was one of the first ones to HOLD HIM RIGHT AFTER HE WAS BORN)
That was, without a doubt, the dumbest assassination attempt ever. Why wouldn't they hire someone, or use someone less well known within their clan?? I do like this story, but that was a huge lapse in judgement from the writer.
