Anyone else continue to feel sorry for the nephew and hope he's allowed to return home?? Out of the loneliness of the academy and brainwashing of his mum?
Just feels like *a lot* of adults are projecting their anger towards his mother
onto him ╥﹏╥
I'm sorry but the misery the MC endured and the bigotry & discrimination Omegas *still* endure in the country
i feel it makes sorta sense, that as king who needs to hold tradition, and a man who lost his wife because of a child, there had to be a sort of coldness kyrill had towards ilya. i find it unbelievable that no one else had any compassion to him as a kid. maybe the whole debacle changes the view people have on omegas
I think Huey will change that once its his time to rule but it's still a long way to go
Folks, my memory is horrid today. Why did the crown prince make a deal with a demon?
Yeah... with the demon king of dominance iirc?
I think it was to gain power to become the next emperor?
The power gives him the ability to let people respect and obey him.
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
Why do authors make MLs so unlikable??
Why do they make the redemption arc sooo incredibly hard on themselves??
Like, even if I wanted to defend the ML...I can't Dude has been rude, unstable, entitled and just generally mean to the FL.
Then the sudden overwhelming obsessiveness?? Dude #－.－)
Chase isn't even just a '2nd male lead', he's been the constant kindness, care and genuine friend the FL has had...
I'm just baffled lol
Whelp, that was a bloody rollercoaster
But...I kinda loved it Nothing dragged. It was fast, but each arc felt completed.
This has been a surprisingly great read, with wayyy more depth than I initially gave it credit for ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
One complaint the scene with the dubious consent didn't need to happen. His frustration and angry were already illustrated, going to those lengths was unneeded
So I stopped reading this, because it just didn't sit right with me...
The abuse of the FL and the SA of the Duke. It just...Yeah... No.
But I just checked and I haven't seen anything to disprove him having been SA'd by her mother so far...
Now before you sharpen your pitchforks, I will say though that 2 things can be true at the same time:
-The FL didn't deserve ANY of the hate and suffering she endured.
-The Duke IS a victim and survivor of SA.
If the manhwa leaves the Duke being SA'd out I'll be ecstatic. The way the author has depicted the legacy of SA and trauma isn't helpful.
And sometimes representation can do more harm than good.
A few things:
* Yes, he definitely should've just paid for her to be adopted. Literally anyone would've been better
(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
* Yes, in an ideal world he would've explained the situation to his wife and she would hopefully have not made the trip and died.
However it is known that for some survivors sharing their SA is really difficult. And for men it can be difficult due patriarchal depictions of masculinity & gender dynamics.
- I do think if his wife was still alive he likely wouldn't have been nice, but he would've been neutral.
- Likewise at least 2 of the siblings would've been kind at least.
One thing, do we know what the FL's mother wrote to the duke that made him bring her into the estate??
If she at a minimum didn't blackmail him to do so, then I'm baffled and I blame that on the author.
Clock it sister
No we don't need to HOLD, because we are reading story how it's presented to us and respond accordingly.
Agree. Crying about an authors choice is nuts. I've seen female characters who can't love a child from a bad marriage, so honestly a male character who was SAd is something different. He's a POS yeah but trauma changes us all. It's part of the story and crying about "wahh bad representation" as if every SA or trauma survivor must be a "good" representation is nuts.
Can't believe we had "perfect victim" demands for fictional media now too
This isn't an easy topic though and your comments without necessarily meaning to could trigger once the possible truth is revealed.
If you want to act prematurely, go ahead. I'm just giving a head's up.
Take it or leave it ╮(￣▽￣)╭
...Are you trying to suggest I can't review an author's decision...Like you are? Cos that's what it sounds like
Also, I never said at any point that survivors must be illustrated as perfect. Nor did I ever say he isn't deeply flawed AND possibly a survivor of something horrific.
The issue of representation is a conversation in *ALL* media. Furthermore, when a marginalised community is illustrated in media, it can greatly inform how general society view said community. Male shame after an SA remains a massive issue.
So if you want to be condescending, have at it ╮(￣▽￣)╭
However, as I previously stated my annoyance with the author is that she has created a deeply, deeply flawed character. The majority of us hate him. Fair.
Moreover, if the SA *IS* in the manhwa I don't think she has given readers room to empathise with the Duke.
But this might all be moot if the manhwa doesn't include it. Who knows
Act PREMATURELY??? While reading an ONGOING STORY? jesus fucking christ, just shut uuuuuuup.
The audacity of novel readers to come to manhwa readers and preach about how we should react to things that yet to happen
We don't need "room" to have "empathy" for him. You're speaking straight nonsense because you personally feel GUILTY for disliking a victim of SA. We don't and won't feel guilty for disliking a man who chose to hurt a child who did nothing wrong, even if it was because he felt she was a reminder of what happened. He chose to ruin his family, as we saw his wife would have accepted and raised her as her own. Period.
Literally lol
This soooo much better than the rating makes it seem
It illustrates the issues of desperation, abuse and societal hierarchies in a really relatable and emotive way ( T﹏T )
