BRO THAT SHOT IS SO GOOD OML LIKE THE ART, THE ANATOMY, THE COLORS ARE IMMACULATE IN PRESENTING THE WHOLE VIBE OF THE SONG, IT'S LIKE I'M WATCHING AN MV
past me read this idk till what part and decided to rate it 4/5,,, I REREAD BC I'M FORGETFUL ASF AND IT'S ACTUALLY SO GOOD??? also, yes the father and imperial family is implicit in slavery of the homunculus but damn??? LITERALLY NO MANGWA I'VE READ, HAD A FATHER AS COMPETENT AS THIS WHO'S ALSO THE KING. His children ALL SEVENTEEN, had a chance and a try for ther throne, he meet with a group of them in rotations every morning to discuss life and their future plans, he makes sure all of them get education regardless of the status of their birth and genders , he ensures all of them understood sex Ed and so that none of them Will get trampled once he stepped down, and Their fight for the throne isn't as simple as "hoho I'll kill everyone but me so that I can have the throne" IT'S ACTUALLY CIVILIZED AND FAIR????
BRO LEGIT MOST MANHWA WITH ROYALE SETTINGS AREN'T ABLE TO EXECUTE A SET UP QUITE AS SOPHISTICATED AS THIS ONE. LEGIT .
Yesss!!! Exactly lots of these romance manhwas say historical as well but its loosely used or the historical aspect is very obviously underdeveloped I think this one does pretty good at fleshing out the world and it's system and how to active change it not just the power of love and friendship theres infighting and like playing chess of the long run affects of these plans they have and that it should actually benefit the people as well
YESSSS gotta love it when authors starts toflesh out there world, all of their characters are multifaceted and interesting to follow
The system is basically setting up this two guys like a whole ass fated pair typa deal cus... Death as punishment is literally "till death do us part"
There's actually a reason why they are fated. Spoiler down below:

Seohan saved him like 10 years prior, and Woochan made a wish to help him in the future if they meet again. However, the system makes Woochan forget this memory alongside the traumatic events that lead up to him being saved while for Seohan, he probably just forgot since it's been about 15 years and he was still a kid at that time.
THAT'S SO PRECIOUS oml thank you sm for the spoilers king
No prob! I agree too! It's cute that Seohan was always helpful to those in need even when he was like 8 years old.
man this whole story is smth, had me worried a lil when there's like geumryang hunter smth in the middle of it, but now it ended so fluffy. Hopefully author starts sharing more of their stories bc their art is great
mc highkey parasocial ass stalker... like wth is going on man, you can't just act normal and treat ml like every other human being you've interacted with?? sure author portrays ml as nonchalant abt the whole thing, but it's really weird behaviour tbh. just bc a stalker isn't doing extremely creepy stuff and he's cute and meek, doesn't negate the fact that he's a stalker and is definitely parasocial asf.
"it's just silly fan x his idol story guys" yea it's nice that you can just not see the weird behaviour, doesn't mean it's not weird....
Hating on the mc acting like you’d be any better that was literally his idol gng so he’s not any other human being to him
??? i would? ground yourself in reality. people SHOULD be better than what mc is doing, behaviour like mc in irl is even more worrying and that's why we get extreme stalkers cases irl.... even more so bc the ml had retired YEARS ago....
He’s not even a stalker what ru on abt
yea... following a stranger around and repeatedly asking about their previous job with their past idol aliases, giving food and following them around to ask to hang out while recounting and constantly talking about their past idol career is totally not stalker behaviour.... plus this kid (ml) is literally on year younger than mc, never has any previous interactions with mc,,,,
IT'S WEIRD....
Honestly, it's more about not knowing boundaries and no social cues. Weird? Yes! Annoying? Yes! Tho I wouldn't call him a stalker, because that's 100x times more intense and scary, I know this well due to my cousin being stalked. This is very low compared to My Secret Stalker ( https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/my_secret_stalker/)---good read.
And both mangas are tamer in comparison to Future Diary, the show of the well-known yandere, Yuno.
chikage ain't gonna let you hit bro
He isn't a stalker, might be a lil tiny bit pushy but he has loved him since he was a child. Like literally a child. No bad intentions. No alternative motive to have a romantic/sexual relationship. Just a child with no social awareness who grew up watching someone he liked and wanna know them. He is like 16-17 here? Way better than any of the bts fans of that age back in the day lmfao.
Maybe im blind but where is the stalking bro
yeah I'm not a fan of the parasocial stuff
this was nvr the point bruh.... Mc won't let u hit either
?? The first time they met was coincidence and that's the first time he ask, and then next one they literally live in same school, meeting someone in school is not following a stranger. You could randomly pass by, or that the class is near. And also that's the 2nd time he ask because he just want to say he's grateful about it. Bruh
getting so worked up over a YAOI is crazyy, irl concerns do not have to apply to manga. how boring can you be
?? having opinions about media we consume is necessary, regardless if we have different ones. yaoi or not, every genre needs to be discussed in one way shape or form. that's how it works? am i boring or r u just stupid and not willing to think?
you are complaining abt mc being weird like hes a real guy lmao who cares if hes a 'parasocial stalker' dude?? if you don't like yaoi like that, don't waste your time reading it
this isbthe kinda story where at the end, you're supposed to be like "everyone makes bad choices and mistakes sometimes, but ultimately they're all trying their best"
BUT objectively speaking, Squall, and his dad is THE Ultimate villain and most of the other character's sins are all quite literally incomparable to the amount of damage these two have cause for others. The father, for his sins of malice, he literally caused everything, and Squall for his ultimate cowardice and inaction which enabled all of it to happen and worsen.
Like don't get me wrong, Fl is annoying asf to me at the start, esp in the real world's current social climate. but Her ultimate sin was being born and living the aristocratic life, which we have been shown, EVERY OTHER ARISTOCRAT WAS DOING THE SAME THING.
like if hating on the rich and privileged is a competition, I'd be gunning for gold. but literally every other character's actions and chain reaction were all caused by what yhe Squalls chose.
i too, would love to have a story where things are so bad but it was equally caused, this just isn't that. it's a story about how 2 extremely selfish people ruined literally 2nations worth of people's lives.
Thnk u for this comment!!!! Imma drop the story but I was curious about the war and stuff
From where I read up to, it seemed like a "kill the world to save the one u love" or "kill the one u love to save the world" decision the ex fiance had to make (and honestly can't hate him for choosing to save "the world" considering hes a world leader) BUT it also didnt make much sense why killing her was necessary (they could have just staged her death) so something felt off about the situation
Anywayyyyy, it sounds like all the world leaders suck here (some, ex fiance and his dad, more than others) which mirrors the real world a lot haha, so imma drop, but this comment brought me closure so thnks!!!
I lied, I skipped and skimmed and finished the story hahaha
Also could be wrong coz I skipped a lot, but I dont think the ex fiance is a terrible person, extremely flawed and dumb sure but he was tricked by his dad to kill his love interest to "save" his ppl (again could be wrong, but imma live with this interpretation haha)
Wc! Had to express my thoughts tbh cus majority of the commenters all simply accepted the "everyone makes mistakes sometimes" narrative, and bc you skipped through the story (understandable tbh , I personally only enjoyed it for the art) , the reasoning for the ex bf decision was that he was lied to by his father and he didn't think the substance was to kill MC'S past body, he thought it was gonna make her lose consciousness and was planning to kidnap her and run away tgt. But his dad lied, and knowing that his father lied to the people abt his now dead gf, he chose to validate those lies instead of speaking up and that's the start of his cowardice choices.
Anyways! Thank you for replying, since this story ended awhile ago, I wasn't expecting anyone to be able to read my comment.
Basically he KNOWS that his father IS the one who cause the big fire which killed the people of the South, which then sparked a whole other war/fight . So yea A LOT of blood was shed by these two's decisions. The "truce" they formed was after all that, and it still cause a lot of infighting and discrimination between South and North.
Omgosh ure so goated for this, thnk u sooo much ╥﹏╥ the extra info was greatly appreciated
Uina go get fucking warded bruh.
Taisei you shitfuck YOU DON'T NEED TO ALWAYS BE DEPENDANT ON A RELATIONSHIP BRO. LIVE YOUR LIFE AND STOP FORGIVING PEOPLE WHEN IT'S NOT EVEN YOUR PLACE TO DO SO. UINA SHOULD BE SENT INTO A PHYCWARD, NOT BE CODDLED AND LOVED.
Glad mc and ml got their happy ending tho I wish they'd report uina to the fucking cops
man why did have to be assault and blackmailing? can't we have good actually doS and doM twink top story without all these??
I know, God I feel like ive genuinely only seen a handful of good healthy bdsm couples on either manga or manhua, its always so disappointing seeing bdsm viewed like this by mangakas, just all rape, black mailing, or abuse- like what year are we in gang????
I feel you. If you want a consensual S&M one there is https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/geboku_sama_no_iu_toori/ It's mostly verbal abuse but not bad, reread it again recently and was still pretty happy with it. Wish I could find more that were a little more hardcore/varied without the toxic tropes but it honestly feels near impossible to find them.
Yea man ,like I'm personally not a part of the bdsm community but even so, I feel so sad that people view the community like this and these authors are continuously perpetuating this misconception and some people who's exploring themselves could fell into very dangerous situations with these views
Thanks diva
Thank you queen
Literally exactly my thoughts too- I started reading yaoi as a early teenager and it absolutely brainwashed me to thinking that was what bdsm just was, but even as an adult thats not in that scene, it's just as impactful, and demonizing. Especially when there is a very large difference in manga/manhua that are supposed to be upsetting and are actually not romanticizing the pretty toxic fictional bdsm in their works (which there are more than a few now that are on purpose at least and somewhat open that it's rank) and works like this that genuinely make it (like ive seen so many throughout the years, we all know this shiet
in the world of ABO, how are boundaries around genders set? like yk, the conversation of genders is a weird thing to divulge before the boombayah but isn't it like a safety hazard? like if this super famous artist is just sleeping around without actually confirming the partner's gender (and in this case, mc i the one who's concealing his gender) with someone who he doesn't know is on the pill or not, and can/can't possibly conceive? like is it weird that i think there's a conversation to have there? because it's not a question of gender identity, it's more so about honesty and consent
You are so right, can't believe I haven't thought of that before. Literally irl, it's kind of the same for trans people disclosing they are trans before the boombayah... coz consent is key and it's better for both parties anw. And in omegaverse, this carries more risk coz accidental pregnancies might happen (it already did with Pete hdakhskaja)
EXACTLY! yes, people want people for what they think they are regardless but the conversation beforehand is key to make sure all parties involved have a hand in giving the consent
