You're on 103? Please read till the end and idk but I hope you would at some point see something through those episode (especially that one special episode which got me crying and hopeful) I love how you share your feedback about this and honestly you're right, just Taeui being continuously rammed by Ilay ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ through the episodes, and for a bit there was no progress but PLEASE BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THIS YOU'LL DEF LOVE that one episode of Ilay and Taeui at some point!! But we still have different opinions and I respect yours(▰˘◡˘▰)
I think this is one of those stories you either love or hate. A lot of people don’t like the beginning and think it’s boring, but I remember when I first stumbled upon this series it only had like 40 chapters out and I was obsessively reading then i found out there are novels and looked for them until I found a group MTL-ing them into Spanish.
In my opinion, I don’t see Tae as a pushover, but more like someone who works with what he’s got. Yes he’s surrounded by horrible people and it’s unfair but he doesn’t expend his energy in things he can’t control.
If you continue reading you’ll find more times where you’ll be pissed off, then the story ends, but it continues in 2 sequels (so about 7-8 more novels) that flesh out the relationship.
The tiger doesn’t change his stripes, but he does show he cares.

There comes a time when you find a somewhat popular manhwa with hot looking characters. You're promised a masculine bottom who's strong and tough but has a cute and kind side (and he can be considered an unreliable narrator too)
Now imagine my disappointment in finding out this does not live up to the hype. It's left a bad taste in my mouth and it's because there's a huge lack of agency for our MC. He's been forced throughout this entire story to go along with others' whims, constantly raped, with the more interesting parts of the plot shoved to the side for even more rape-romance scenes. I feel scammed out of my time.
I wanted more scenes exploring the brothers' interesting family dynamic, the two-faced lover and his schemes, any and all of the mysteries that were first introduced to be more focused on. But NOOO we HAVE to see Taeui get violently raped for the hundredth time. Heck the only time there's even a tw for a rape scene is when Taeui is pinning down Ilya before running away which is just hilarious to me.
It's giving 'girl gets forced to live with vampires and werewolves and has to try to survive them all doing whatever tf they want to her.' I'm currently on ch. 103 and really struggling to go on. I can only hope their dynamic becomes even a bit more bearable in the next few chapters
