Was the mc raped tho?
I was confused cause there was a panel where he goes “oh so thats what the gardener was trying to do but i wont mention to alto cause he wasnt successful”
So im not sure if he just didnt remember back then or if there was no penetration
By all accounts he did get sexually assaulted but no he never got penetrated by either the gardener or the master’s older brother.
He’s never quite understood what the Gardner was trying to do, but he knew it was disgusting and made him feel bad. It isn’t until he starts becoming more aware of the ML and the possibilities of continuing that he begins to unpack that trauma.
Ohhhh ok that makes sense
Thank you for explaining
I did wish this bl would have come with a warning about its content tho
Begun reading back when it first started releasing and i did NOT expect it would get dark like this
Yes it gets dark very quickly becuz unfortunately the MC isn’t the only one who’s gotten abused as a kid. It’s a systematic issue of the island that is part of the plot to get rid of the abuse on the MC’s people.
Yeah problem is like the first chapters were so tame and not heavy at all
Mostly just mysterious
So what im trying to say is, if the author doesnt tag this with tw warnings ppl Will keep reading not knowing what they are getting themselves into
Personally its a huge trigger for me so idk if ill keep reading this
Yeah I get it - that’s why I comment sometimes when a story is heavy cuz some ppl want a warning or being able to mentally prepare themselves if they continue by knowing the extent of how “bad” it was.
No fr youre so right in doing that actually
I hope everyone would do that too
Spoilers below concerning MC’s trauma for those worried about how bad it is.
WARNINGS FOR: grooming, SA
I was really concerned about how they’d handle the trauma of the MC - luckily it was all taken seriously.
They don’t show him being abused if you worry about that even when he does fully remember. It’s uncomfortable as it’s meant to be and it’s not taken lightly to how it affected the MC
If yall need more information:
the gardener(?) that was grooming him kept being kind to him enough to get him into the shed, when he’s about to go through with it (fully abuse him) he gets killed by the abusive older brother of the younger lord. Older brother gets mad cuz he’s obsessed with the MC, he keeps him with his back to his chest and jacks it on top of him. Once he’s done, the MC kicks him off and he’s transformed.
He runs away and his sees the younger lord who was insinuated to have just watched and did nothing.
