I kind of understood what I was getting myself into, but I started this bc I was hoping it had something unique about itself. Nope, none. Shouldn't have started this. You got the rich ml, the poor mc, the weak mc, the ml in power and control, abuse, trauma, and sa. This setup is like any other toxic bl, but just with a different time period. That’s already a problem—actually, many problems—so I'm not trusting anyone trying to convince me by saying, 'This is good,' or 'It will get better.' I genuinely don't care if it does. I might just go ahead and skim the middle and end of the series and call it off.
Lmfaoo I skimmed 35-37 : Someone said the characters are a bit one dimensional. No, cause I agree. Also, am I supposed to feel better about the mc’s living situation just because the ml claims moral superiority, acting as the 'lesser evil', while still doing shady shit behind his back? Give me a break. Really original. Definitely didn't see this coming
50-51: Oh, trauma backstory and drugs. "Feel bad for me mc. Did I woo you?" On top of that, Ml can't even pick between the mc or power he wants ffs. But mc is a bird brain, still eating up crumbs he can get.
70: "I'm just a fool when it comes to love". Deadass???? Like he knew what he was doing. Everything he did was intentional, manipulative and abusive for his selfishness, for power, not love. Love is an after thought to him. Bye- "But it was only at first" Yeah, and? He's still wrong about that. And he still made him wait up to their "wedding" and only communicated his thoughts now. And MC is just eating it up still - 'Only took me like 60 chapters to hear this from you and now I get 5 chapters of romanticized abuse with you". No tyvm. Like any other realization and conclusion that has been written before.
One brownie point for the art style, which I find charming and likeable.
