Tei literally didn't see Shuraka for 13 years. How the hell is that grooming ! He always saw Shuraka as a child , just at the last episode he stopped doing it. And started accepting Shuraka's romantic feelings towards him.
People behave so smart but they can't even use their brains is very annoying to me
this is why i dont read age gap. and also i dont read arrange marriage to child bullshit stories. did the older one groom the younger one? well even if it wasn't their intention it js happened to be that the younger one will become "groomed" by the older one of the older one doesn't draw a sharp line. have any of y'all ever witnessed or seen or read actual child marriage stories irl? this topic is js too sensitive for me to not compare it to reality. the "fiction is not reality" does not work here for me. i have heard enough child marriage horror stories irl to know the psychological impact it does to the child's brain. we're still fighting the child marriage esp. the region where im from so i know that child marriage to an adult is 100% NEVER right and can NEVER be a healthy dynamic. not even 0.001% chance. it is straight road to damaging the child's way of thinking/looking at the world.
You're so right and anyone who disagrees was either born privileged enough to never encounter grooming irl personally (NOT limited to child marriages) or is a straight up pred. This is the reason why I was so reluctant to read BotWN despite it being BWAT's work bcs child marriages are just not it..
I like the story and how the plot is going, but theres still an uneasiness that comes with the "child marriage" trope (which is, by the way, completely avoidable because I'm not sure why any narrative would require that..)
my grandma was 15 married to a man 10 years older and let me tell u this was a bad time in india NGL like back then the child marriages were rampant and I have had good dynamic w my grandpa and grandma (both are no more now) but I will never ever say it was good and excuse it. child marriage really does harm to ur brain I'm sorry I can NEVER like a story like that even if it is fiction. we didn't fight against child marriages js for someone to fetishize or romanticise it like get the fuck off. + hot take: bwat's work are mediocre at best and she has an agegap fetish. js bc she can write good angst don't mean she is a good storyteller. the story line is shit only the angst is good. i said what i said.
Bro calm tf down.
If you don't like the story , I kindly advise you to fuck off without spreading your life stories and bring negative impact on the true and innocent intention of the author. You experienced trauma and so you don't like it , no one forced you to read this story , nor did anyone tell you to like or support it.
There are many fans who took the story positively not focusing on that damn "child marriage" of yours. They didn't even stay together for 2 years when the young one was still a child. And read the damn story first before you call that the older one "groomed" the younger one. The younger one devoted himself to his older one who protected him like a big tree.
You don't know a damn thing about this story so I'll advise you to stfu. The older one spend his 13 years praying for the safety of that young innocent child who was experiencing political trauma in his homeland.
Ofc you don't care what happens in this story , it's none of your concern so pls fuck off. We're not supporting or forcing "child marriage" on you or anyone , it's just how it went in ancient times and the author tried to depict it without a drop of ill intention.
"innocent story" wait let me check....(story is about child marriage), "not focusing on child marriage"....wait let me check.....(their first meet, and even every worth of meet up further IS bc a child got married to an adult)
absolute bigoted take coming from a very privileged person who thinks child marriage is a woo woo made up thing that doesn't happen and doesn't affect child psyche and thinks all child marriages are black/white , with the older one jumping on the minor and raping them then and there. u will not get the complexities so i cant even argue w u. child marriage does complex psychological damage to a minor's psyche and the old one doesn't need to be a serial rapist, pervert, scum of earth looking person on the face for them be "groom" a child. i didnt even say he deliberately groomed shuraka. and i dont even read the story i replied to the comment bc i wanted to participate in a discussion AS discussion forums do.
it's u who r butthurt and mad that people are sharing real life stories that paint child marriages as bad and it's making u mad bc u can't read this story w/o second thinking about the problematic part of the story and can't any longer totally out it behind. which is great. stay mad.
i do not care what happens in this story bc the author doesn't know how to write the complexities of child marriage and uses it as a shallow plot device for their first meet the same way other authors use heat/rut in omegaverse as alpha/omega having sex first time. y'all mad i was speaking sense instead of asking for more smut and tei getting railed.
Bro , you have no idea about this manhwa okay ? Everything you're saying just dropping all over the place because that's your opinion about the manhwas you view with. I don't care if you care or not about this manhwa or some another story .You just stating your opinion out of the blue and giving free lecture of child marriage is getting annoying.
As a well aware citizen of my country , I am fucking aware of human rights , child abuse , child marriage , rape and other bullshits people commit. I avoid the things which romanticize those things and being well aware of all of this I love this story because it's worth it. Not that it's my concern how an emotional child like you view fiction.
I think that you should control your emotions while reading fictions and spread your personal experience and opinion in a public place. You don't have to show me what's right or wrong , we already know it.
Fictions are written as fictions , if you read a crime fiction and start a declaration of human rights in front of a busy street , people will beat you and send you home.
Have a good day
If u want child marriages to be taken seriously, a pirated website with mostly porn here isn't the best place to advocate I'm sorry. I suggest waiting for S2's storyline coz it'll mostly explore Shuraka's pov and past then make ur judgment and drop the manhwa if u still don't like it. If u don't like BWAT's writing & tropes, that's fine too. There are other stories that has ur preferred narrative. Calling everything u hate as a fetish is just lame & waters down the term. If u know the worldbuilding, it'd make sense why arranged marriage esp political child marriage is common & not just some shallow plot device. Also using heat/rut as a plot device for the MCs to fvk isn't even that bad w/ good writing esp when it's the whole premise of omegaverse, just read some non-omegaverse & move on lmao
Oh god i didn't mean for my comment to start a debate. Mr Rover i truly understand where you are coming from and i don't think anyone in this forum is disagreeing that child marraiges are absolute terrible. I just think that isn't the premise of the story and I've tried to think of what you are saying regards to the storyline but i just can't see it. Shuraka and Tei were apart for YEARS!!! And I just dont think Tei is that type of person. End of story.

do some people out here think tei groomed shuraka????
