Sometimes the plot feels like a fever dream lol It’s super big-brained, unique, and complex. Massive applause to this author for combining drama with angst and murder mysteries lol How tf did the author make the seme so unassuming at first then make him into the coolest most badass character wtf I’m blushing when I see this man…he’s a modern day villain that turned to good deeds purely cuz of circumstances; if his drive was misplaced (e.g. dystopian setting or smth) he’d definitely become the scariest criminal LOL Uke is so cute aeyeyeye They’re both so considerate of each other they love each other so much ayaaaaaaa Also The smut is so fkn hot FUCK Ch 20: Fkn bittersweet wholesomeness facing uke’s father’s past. I cried, fuck.

Great plot and storytelling, it was very complicated tho so it needed to be binged in one sitting lmao The generation of romantic feelings between characters were occasionally superficial, but overall it worked out Storytelling was very clever given the complex storyline, but could’ve been a little more clear at times lmao. Did great tho. Preferably could’ve clarified when Lai recovered his recent memories after the drug-flower sniffing incident near the end of the story…I wasn’t sure how to interpret his perspective when I didn’t even know what memories he had on him at the time. (Answer was that he recovered all recent ones by the time they started searching for shit underground. He was only filling in his childhood memories at that point.) Near the end things got really cuddly and cute, but the tone shift was slightly too fast. It was 100% angst before that, so. It could’ve used a bit more time to shift colour palettes like that. Ending definitely needed one more chapter to wrap up some things and conclusively end the story. Hector’s mom should’ve had a cute reunion with her son, Ellen and Edwin deserved a little more cuddle and wholesome scenes after heir role in the story, and the dethroning of both fathers could’ve been more fleshed out. As it was, it was just briefly glossed over as “the court took care of them ok yep yep the end yep.” Some things that need clarity lol: Hector’s biological dad was the knight, right? That’s why Lai’s comment about Hector’s mom “not being alone” was significant, to show she had a partner? Unless it was a nice stepdad,by which more clues should’ve been dropped about that. As it is, the emperor probably didn’t reveal that he didn’t do incest and that Hector wasn’t his direct son, so he could slander Hector’s mom (“she’s an incestuous whore! I’m a man tho so I can fuck whoever. But she’s a slut!!!”) and jeopardize Hector’s position as the next in line to the throne.
