I understand that there are people that prefer bottoming and people that prefer topping, but why can we get more switches? I think this would have been the perfect manga to do that. Like having the semi become a better lover now that he has bottomed himself and the uke enjoying it more, and then the semi realizing that he is craving being on the receiving end giving the uke equal opportunity to love on him. Like the story is not bad, but it could have been so much better. Manga universe I demand more Seki dammit!!! ヽ(`Д´)ノ

I feel like some of yall are reaching for nothing. The dress scene is to show us Cedrics growing feelings and small bouts of jealous. "Well if he doing all that now, what will he do later?" How about we wait until later to find out before we condemn him? Cedric is a fine ML. Okay, so he doesn't have a grasp on human nature things. My dude is trying. He is not out here with the woe is me attitude not even trying to understand or listen to Dalia. He's protective and a little jealous. Yes, jealousy can breed deeper darker feelings and emotions, but I ain't reaching for what I have yet to see. Dahlia letting him change her dress is also her adjusting to her changing feelings. If yall wanna fight with your date about showing your back by all means, but that is not gonna be a issue for everyone. I could see if he zipped up her back and then called her something along the lines of "attention seeking" as a verbal stab, but none of that happened. This dress scene isn't suppose to be that deep. "He's controlling." "She's a push over." Listen, regardless of how hard you are projecting your real world situations on them, about maybe know a controlling man or being or knowing a pushover that makes you upset, there is a 99.999% chance this story is gonna have a happy end. The "controller" will marry the "pushover" and they will be happy. The plethora of these miniscule negative comments are one of the reasons I enjoyed the comment section being disabled. Some of yall complain about the smallest things.

I swear I would have been a whole other problem in this story because the minute he let me go thinking I was cool I would have killed that bitxh. Trying to kill my child because greedy shit ain't going your way?! Go plead your woes to Jesus in the upper room, since that's where I'm finna send your ass!! See if your ass ain't instant transmissioned straight into hell! Woooo! It could not be me~ (╬ ̄皿 ̄)凸

We only saw him once or twice so I can understand if you don't remember him, but that was the Sorcerer using Momo as a divine maiden. The one that they just rescued her from. Guess he followed them hoping to get her back, he named her Matilda, that's why he is referring the Umehiko as "Matilda's Brother".

I like the story for what it is. I didn't come into to this looking for anything other then some smut, but I love that it surprised me with some plot. Lol I have few to no complaints about the content or the length. Just waiting to see what the end is like, I'm a "happily ever after" kind of girl after all. Lol

Me too. I feel the same way, I like it for what it is & this is souch better than the author's other work that's here. This has an actual plot, it's longer, the storyline is good & it's entertaining in its own way. I can't wait either, I wonder if Theo would ever become human in the end & will be able to be with umehiko in his world.

Chief Jang deserves all the hell that he can possibly get for the shit he has been pulling, but saying to kill his daughter that may have nothing to with all of it is wild. First, kids do not pick their parents. Why should she have to die for the sins of her father? You can say up and down that her father killed up a bunch of innocent people and therefore to stick it to him she needs to die, but baby that really should not be the concensus yall make. Her father should be paying for his sins ALONE. Shitty thing about negative Karma, is that if you build up too much of it, it will also affect those closest to you. So to see him sweating and nervous now that is daughter is in the mix makes me excited because that bastard is finally experiencing some type of hell, but I hope his daughter get out of it mostly unscathed because she didn't do anything to deserves the crazy that is finna hit her doorstep.

ppl not caring about them is what happens to npcs that aren't unique/fleshed out and don't seem like they will be
now that I'm thinking abiut it this trope of innocent/totally didn't notice anything and surely would judge if she knew character is so obv I'm kinda expecting a hint/reveal of idk she's twisted/planned sth or she's adopted or anything

If we find out she crazy and wrapped up in this in some way, she can get the smoke too. Also trust and believe I'm familiar with the trope of having an extra just there as a plot piece, but it never fails to shock me how unforgiving and cruel some readers. This is not real life by a mile, but "not caring about a npc that's not fleshed out" is like saying I don't give a fuc about my neighbor cause I've only seen them twice, and I heard their family is on trial for murder, hope they die too. Like what? Lol Like no benefit of the doubt or nothing. Then the second someone finds out she was completely innocent "Poor girl, it's too bad she had a shit father. She didn't deserve that." But you just told her to die a few comments ago. Lol Like hell, I've seen quite of few tropes where you think someone is innocent and you find out they aren't in one way or another, and I'm all for them catching the hell they deserve, but I swear some of these comments can be telling of people. And this is nothing aggressive to you Lulu, it's just I find some people's point of view wild sometimes.

hmm I get you I get you I'll be the last to advocate against moral compass in fiction btw, this is jus for argument's sake and you're making valid points either way
I think most people do have empathy for innocent npcs/most characters but it rlly does depend on the portrayal/timing ig when reading if guided properly like the innocent simple girl was jus a lil more convincing/impactful which you can be without being fleshed out this is more like I think a story telling issue or sth
but then again there are many factors such as personal influences that play into this. By detaching your emotions and not sympathizing you are also protecting your own emotions to not feel the pain but jus the " entertainment " part, one might need rn
ofc readers caught in mc's pov/thoughts easily or in a mood (raaah violencee etc) either way that logically they would not agree with
idea of killing/inflicting the pain inflicted on you to the beloved of sb to " punish " them was always emotionally immature especially in this scenario where the person in question is a child, no question
this is also a case of jus because it's fiction and because of the repitition of character patterns the readers don't try to sympathize until spoonfed emotion they're supposed to feel by narrative
a mad person might say this allows them to play with hypothetical plotlines more " freely " I think this is majority of what they're trying to do by mentioning her de@th
what I said is pretty self-explanatory/obv now that I think about it so don't feel pressured to respond this is jus me pondering this ig
like there's insane creatures that (sympathize is too much already but even) cheer/hope for ' redemption ' like development of disgusting characters where they are (magically) portrayed as forgiven when it's not possible to- nvm don't get me started
just for the sake of sth being in their mind " interesting " when actually they're jus projecting sth onto these characters which is a reflection of self and/or their surroundings/emotional situation and by doing this they want to satisfy these subconscious underlying emotions that -
but that whole thing is probably human(healthy? if works? even if not can one not project what is projecting if not the perspective shaped by self perception) and we all do it
is it the extent of projection that differs (can that even differ from human to human?) limited by the awareness/self-reflection( feels like sth that cannot be changed/influenced consciously as it's blocked by emotion easily)
probably the healthy relationship with own emotions/mind but then again consuming these questionable fictional media and forming their silly little scenarios/opinions on characters and venting/working out their negative feelings they either immerse themselves or overcome it
in order to stay rooted in rational sense of morality is it then to detach from all the negative emotions that may tempt you to vent them as a short-term solution
but not all negative feelings may divert one from their sense of morality... well.
so yeah they might jus be sum emotionally numb/detached/lacking emotional capacity/disturbed by irl influences influencing their emotional perspective aka struggling/just young readers here who are still in development ofc
sry for the rant
actually, the lil boy spy and her they could become acquainted/friends or sth that would be interesting

You know, I always tell people to look at things at all angles because everything is not always as it appears, but sometimes I forget to do that. Your take is a fresh one, and not something I considered. Lol And no problem about the rant, I do it often enough myself. Not gonna lie, was thinking something along the lines of what if she really was dangerous but didn't know. Like the whole brainwash killer trope with a mental trigger to snap them in and out of it and it was something her father did because he is just that much a piece of shit that he would use his daughter too. Guess we will have to wait and see~ I really do hope she's not an enemy though~

I feel like Robert has grown as a character, and honestly for the people upset with his infidelity I really think that was linked to the old princess rather than Ria. Like how okay would be if a king was wooing you, but at the exact same time was kissing some other girl? Or that he took your virginity and your were living in the moment only for him to be like "Damn that sucked. I thought you would be more fun." He then never calls on you again and everytime you would try to go see him, he would wrapped up in the arms of other women who don't even hold the concubine title like you do. So let's be real, the old princess was knees deep in infidelity first, but ain't no one gonna say anything because she's a princess. Crazy thing is, if this was following traditional game specs, an Ari was indeed the lead everybody would have a completely different perspective of Robert. "Oh the poor baby, all he wants is love from the princess but she completely disregards him, I want to show him what love is." Plus soon as he realizes that ria is not the princess he is trying to ship shape up. Not all of his choices are great as they are tinted with need to show Ria he is worthy, but I feel his need to be better and show love and devotion. So shout out to you Robert!! Not everyone can see your development and effort, but keep being better~

I never knew or remembered that Kotone had a sister, nor that they both had interest in bl, and even though he told Adachi that his sister was no good for dating, if she was able to be mad at Adachi for making Kotone depressed their relationship must have been good. It leaves me wondering how she felt about his sudden death. I'm glad he chose happiness, but now that a hint of family interaction is shown it makes me abit melancholy for the people he left behind.
Brill is stupidly gorgeous! When he smiled at Roxant, I swear I melted. Max you son of a gun you better put a ring on it my guy!!
Honestly I was always speculating and they never came out to say it but we sure they a couple right? Cos Max is so timid and quiet, wish we had a back story
They never came out and said it, but it is inferred and that is enough for me. Lol But I agree with you, I would like a little side story about them. Hell, I feel like we got to see abit of everybody's relationships except Brill and Max. I hope with the kids being born it will take some of the pressure off Brill for getting married just to produce an heir. Literally one twin can be a heir for each household. Maybe then Brill and Max can pursue one another if that is what was keeping them at bay.
