i'm at ch. 55 (emperor just announced war with the demon realm) and cant waitttttt til i read further. how does the story progress? what's the real story behind the purple duke, and what does he have against deon to manipulate him like that early on? reason behind mc's DID/split personality and memory lapses?
i feel sad that this whole time mc's feelings have been misguided and it's a whole misunderstanding i have a feeling cruel is doing all this for deon's sake..... i'm so hooked but also soo impatient xD
all and any kind of spoilers welcome!!

For the duke, he didn't have anything against Deon. He just happened to learn about him during the one and only time Deon's family took him out to a social event. From there, he thought Deon would be an amusing and easy toy to bet on with the Demon King.
Thus, the duke used his power to get Deon to be conscripted to the 8 year war instead of his older brother. His parents tried to plead to the emperor, but it's likely the duke cut off all communications to the emperor by probably paying off the guards at the entrance/gate of the palace.
Because Deon was still a kid at the time, he developed severe PTSD and blocked out his memories whenever he had to kill the enemy. This caused him to become a psychopath when in combat since he had to fight with any means necessary with his weak and sickly body.
Now for future events, as the war progresses, Deon will find out the truth about his family as the bandage over his memories is ripped off and as he becomes perplexed over his brother's actions in lending a helping hand. Then, over the course of the rest of the story, Deon will learn about the culprits behind his family's demise as well as the equally sinful bystander. Of course, he doesn't find out the full truth all at once. He only learns more as he enacts his revenge against all his enemies. However, this story will end in tragedy and continue in a bittersweet sequel in another life.

A TRAGEDYYYY OH MY T______T i'm already so sad for deon omg.... i can't believe the duke did all that to an innocent & sickly kid :( so evil i hope he suffers consequences.......
though, the story ending in a tragedy /does/ make sense! i'm excited to see how it all unfolds. thanks for this!!! <3 a dark story with humorous tones,,, i need those tissues ASAPPPPPP

this is peak. i came into this thinking it was a cute office romance based in the original kowloon. to think it was sci-fi mystery!!!????!!!
regret being the cause for seeing the generic kowloon checks out, in my opinion. however, it all being based off of kudou's consciousness was a complete surprise! i'm so curious how everything all connects back to him. i wonder if kudou's connected to hebinuma in some way? please let me know of your theories!!
i'm so hooked. i love the story and all its twists.

all this buildup and tension for a bland sex scene??? no touching or even foreplay, it wasn't sexy at all omfg. and for someone working at a sex column and a so-called sex master, telling him to cum inside should have been the LAST thing she said. that was super unsafe and stupid. :/
this sex scene was soooo disappointing i'm so sad cuz i had high expectations since the story started out nice and the art is pretty
OMFG. so fucking creepy. that warning really was necessary god
What warning? Didn't see any warning so i got jump scared
REAL ME TOO, I didn't see the warning
there was a warning in the violet scans version!
