Ok, first, fuck that sunbae! What a douchebag! You show him, Ari! Girl power!
Second: I'm dying over here! Star and fanboy are too adorable! I love how mutual their love is! Usually one would expect that either the fan would be a lot more passionate than the idol or that the idol would fall first while the fan still sees the idol as a celebrity and not as an actual person. But not here, no sir! Star is always looking for ways to meet Fanboy and to make him smile (≧∀≦)
And what was that (almost) "Yuri!!! On Ice" moment? "Stay by my side until I retire" For a second there I though Fanboy was going to say "I wish you would never retire" (￣∇￣")
Ahhh, nooo, I meant to like your comment ╥﹏╥
It's ok! ^^'
*Claps hands*
I'm so glad that the first thing Noah/El did when he got his full power was to set Ian free! Way to go, mr warlock! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ I face palmed hard the moment Ian immediately ran back to Vichid, but damn, that was a really cool and mature speech! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ X2! Way to go, Ian! I hope he manages to leave after that, though ^^' And I'm dying to know what is going to happen between Noah/El and the witches! And if prince Ryan (or anyone else in the castle) will see him in witch form
i hope ryan does and we get another sex scene ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
No dude, if he dose now it'll be Hetero sex so.......
i like that too so ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Well I'm here boy on boy action tho, but if you're fine with Hetero too then to each our own.
Did you notice that their eyes change color when they switch bodies? Kei always has black eyes and Sho always has (blue?) light colored eyes.
This one is gold! Not only is funny af, it's surprisingly adorable as well! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
The plot thickens! The Prince must reflect on his actions, because playing with people like that, especially if it's "for their own good" is NOT OK! Now there are 2 secrets that I'm dying to unravel: the reason why they are lying to the MC and why the fuck is the Mad Dog so interested in him. Was it because his "perfect" twin rejected him? Some other reason? Have they met before? WHY?! If anyone knows, please tell me!
Oh, boy. Here comes trouble! I hope Kisaragi has some tricks up his sleeve, because it won't be easy to get rid of that angry mob.
Urgh, ignorance certainly is dangerous. Amane's powers can't even hurt anyone, he just reads thoughts. What kind of secrets are these people hiding that makes them fear him so much?
Amane should go traveling with Kisaragi, it's safer them staying so close to that village. I hope they get a happy ending!
Holly shit! That was disturbing as fuck! What the hell is wrong with these people?! It seems to me like Ian is the only good and sane human being in this castle. Everyone else has serious mental issues. O.o
I don't think our warlock is in any condition to help anyone right now, but Ian should try and ask his help to warn the first prince. I don't like Vichid, he is a monster and should die already, but before that he could at least innocent the guy whose life he made a living hell. I hope Ian manages to escape somehow, he deserves better. And I'm 100% on the warlock's side and really want things to go well for him, but I highly doubt this story will have a happy ending for anyone. ('~')
The environment they live in though (the Royals) is extremely competitive to the extent they all live in fear of being killed, or have no major issues with killing their family members in order to rise in status. The commoners too try to get some sort of status by exploiting/killing others if they are deemed the "other" or weak. Such is systematic in the plot so you can't really single out one character for being paranoid/exploitative. Prince Vichid it can be assumed is being poisoned by those he is meant to have trust in for example.
Also, I've forgotten exactly what Vichid did to Iain that was cruel. I know the other Prince talks about Vichid "keeping a man" and he was shown walking around with Iain, then in other chapters when he is being poisoned the latter is caring for the prince at his bedside. Guess they are both at this stage quite cold but also needy towards each other, but apparently something more important happened somewhere down the line. If you can recall what chapter(s) things went down?

Vichid raped him. Not for the first time either, apparently. And Vichid is shown to have always been sick, even as a child. He is a case of "if I'm hurting, everyone else must hurt too". He was poisoned when he got older, either because he kept ordering to kill all his guards and doctors or because of the power dispute.
I get why the characters act the way they do. It's a matter of survival, power hunger and a culture that makes cruelty something normal. But I believe that the point of Ian's character is to show that in spite of all that, it's still possible to be a good person. It makes the others seem even worse.
The scene in the last chapter, with the witches being tortured, it makes me wonder if there is anyone in the royal family who could possibly have ordered that. The first prince is dying, the second is dead, the third obsessed with his warlock and the forth seems too righteous for that. None of them would win anything by torturing them. It was probably the servants themselves, who were afraid and angry due to the recent disappearances in Uren. Does it make it ok? No. There is a huge difference between simply executing someone and torturing them for who knows how long, even if it's a execution via burning them alive.
Thank you. I agree that the servants probably take the decision to torture the prisoners (rather than it beind ordered by the royals/court). It gives them a chance to dominate and be superior which would otherwise be limited due to their low status and in their world power is gained and maintained through fear and violence. There was a film made by a holocaust survivor shortly after wwii which centred around the prisoners and the prisoners who were "elevated" to guard positions. Showing that the prisoner "guards" actually were more authoritarian and violent than thrme soldiers. So despite all being prisoners and sharing the same rooms in certain environments such attitudes do occur. Just as the servants try to maintain their own lives and gain a sense of superiority by 'othering" their fellow non regal prisoners and taking it on themselves to be cruel to them.
After reading those chapters , I agree that Iain seems the only character that doesnt appear to have been corrupted. Showing that even in such an evironment one does not have to retaliate with the same greed and abuse. He has little choice but to be Vichids servant and you would expect him to be angry at being treated in such a way.
Maybe back when Yeon was in a boyband Ahn Jun got jealous of how fast Yeon became famous and loved, and started to harbor some resentment towards him. Now that Yeon is back into stardom Ahn Jun is back to get his "revenge". And thinks (rightfully so) that aiming for Taeho is the way to hurt Yeon, even if Taeho himself is too dense to realize how much he means to Yeon.
To be honest I would love if Ahn Jun developed real feelings for Taeho. He deserves more love ^^' But if I'm right and he is only after some twisted notion of revenge, than he needs to get lost (︶︿︶)
Ok, so here is what I'm thinking: that red haired guy's brother fell in love with one of the brothers, eventually got his heart broken and tried to kill himself. The Prince payed for his treatment and for the family to keep it a secret. Red haired dude got closer to the Prince to find out what really happened. And that incident is what is making the Prince worry so much about his brother's romance with the MC. I'm not sure why the red haired girl hates the Mad Dog so much, but I'm guessing that either she is a tsundere who used to like him and got rejected or someone spread rumors that they were dating and the backlash she got from it made her hate him. Since the Mad Dog is so aggressive and rude, many people must hold a grunge against him but since they can't do anything to him (either because his family is that powerful or they are just scared of him), they are going to bully the easier target: whoever is close to him - if the red haired girl is really telling the truth about not being responsible for trying to kill the MC.
What do you think?
Holy shit it makes somewhat sense now (=・ω・=)
This is hilarious, but is it just me or do the love interests look like twins too? (Or at least like genderbent versions of each other) It makes it feel like the author couldn't decide whether they wanted to write shonen ai or shoujo ai and decided to go with both LOL
I'm not complaining though, this story has a lot of potential! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
