I'm no stranger to manhwas with r*pe to redemption arcs, but this is just so underdeveloped. We don't really see why the master is so loyal to the former king until near the end and even with the flashback, we still don't know why he's always looking back at him. The deal was that he would get answers for his father's death (which was never answered and barely brought up) and we still don't get anything for learning this.
Also why did the master fall in love with the new king?? Yes they're the end goal but could we at least have a viable reason why and how?? It just feels like he got r*ped, then fell in love with his r*pist/student and f*ck u to those who care about proper pacing.
The new king then somehow bagged him by what? Essentially testing him, r*ping him, not taking in consent and appropriate timing (he kept trying to start a round when the master tried to talk about something serious), whine and take out his anger at him by banging him. Also also, the ankle chain (which I keep forgetting it's there) has been on him since the very start of the manhwa, there are times when it didn't appear but honestly it's quite forgettable, then he still has it on until the very end?? Wow, such love. Wow, such healthy relationship. Wow, the new king really took accountability for his mistreatment and actions towards the master especially literally the first few chapters with implied r*pe
