I feel like the mc and the red head are just cheating behind their friend's back? Idk it feels weird seeing them meeting up in secret and being so affectionate.
If he truly is supposed to be the ml then you can count me out on this one, it feels as if the author is excusing cheating just because the mc and him are supposed to end up together.

Don't worry, there is definitely no cheating. The engaged 2 have no feelings for each other. They are only keeping it to keep each other safe. And the red head likes the mc buts he only likes them both like puppies shes raising. If there were feelings involved with the engaged 2, I'd wholeheartedly agree xD, cause then it'd be so scummy.

I understand that when ur MC is that powerful you need to make excuses to keep the tension and the story beats interesting, otherwise it would be anticlimactic to just have them win effortlessly. However, this method gets tiring and frustrating after this many chapters. At this point, Raglard is more of a main charter than Yuria.

Man I'm so tired of petty ignorant ML like this, if blanche or the MC weren't so amusing I wouldn't have added this to my reading list.

... yeah. I guess that <SPOILER ALERT>
Having your first wife rape you until she conceived a child should not leave a hint of trauma on the poor guy, huh? I’ve always been impressed by women who keep the child after they were raped, because I personally don’t think I’d be able to do that. Because then unless you give the child up, you have to love the child.
Men, especially those in the king’s position, don’t have those options. Is it the child’s fault? Of course not. But you can’t claim not to understand why he hasn’t been able to open up His heart to the child. Unless trauma isn’t something you can empathize with, you can’t say that on some level at level at least, you don’t get why he’s been excessively cold to them both. You can’t say you don’t see why he was relieved when the FL said she wanted separate beds since, as he mentioned, he was never able to sleep with her by his side. Or why he looked terrified when he thought she would kiss him. Or why he won’t even entertain having any other wife.
Yet a man with such a trauma still managed to listen to what she said and made the effort to have dinner with them both.
As far as I’m concerned, he’s excused.
P.S: I felt free to go on a rant in my spoiler because you made it sound like you already knew what kind of shxt he went through.

tbf the original Abigail was kind of notorious for her personality/past antics so him being skeptical of her so far seems about right.
And I agree his past is pretty traumatic but should not be his whole identity so him neglecting Blanche is a bit of a turndown cause who could do that to such a sweet child ┗( T﹏T )┛ but the upside is on the level of douchebaggery for MLs, he's certainly higher on the list only because he provided for his wife and child's daily needs aside from love and care and he does seem like he can understand when he's in the wrong with the MC and apologize so let's hope he keeps growing lol

I don't understand how people can ship phos with anyone, at least for me, no one in this universe seems to truly care for them, even cinnabar only took interest on them because of a promise that would only benefit themselve. To me there were only three characters that acted decently towards phos: ghost quartz, barbata and that big lunarian that phos slept on in the wedding. Everyone else (even sensei) either dismissed phos or hated them for no reason.
I wish the author wrote more stories in different settings, we always get either a Chinese royal court drama or a dog blood CEO face slapping drama.
