i don’t care normally for age gaps as long as they are both adults but in this case idk. it feels too predatory for me to enjoy. Jiho is clearly an at risk youth with trauma. the fact that the uke just jumped into bed with him as soon as he turned 18 “two hours ago” rubbed me the wrong way. Don’t get me wrong, i knew they would fuck. i expected them to since i waited for the mature version to read this. i’m seflaware in that front. but the way it was handled after the dude went “i dont fuck with minors” idk. Jiho looked tormented and the uke knew this and thats where the “sexual assault = violence” talk came in. i thought he would actually have a talk with jiho and guide him and then they would fuck some other time later maybe season 2 after their relationship had been built more and jiho had dealt with his internal struggle for self validation and transactional relationships but nope. i know they both have issues but the uke was the adult in the room and he behaved irresponsibly. i couldn’t take anything he said seriously after that. i read season 1 and half of season 2. i saw from previous they got a happy ending. and thats enough for me.
If this was some dark story with a psychological tag i would somehow try to rationalize it as “welp, people are horrible and they do horrible things and this is a story about horrible people doing that shit.” but this story seems to like romantize this relationship and make it seem like it’s “not too bad” and idk, and as far as i’ve read, we don’t get enough internal monologue from the uke to make me think otherwise.
I always been of the thought that sometimes, it’s ok to just drop a story even if it’s deemed “great” by others. I guess this is my time to move on and read something else. i don’t think i can move pass how their relationship started and even if it gets better. i don’t want to spend my time hoping it fits my taste cause honestly, not everything has to and thats ok.
every time i read one and i think we getting started i get hit with the “to be continued” AHHHHH
omg what a twist! also love when manga’s switch perspectives ahhhh
the story was nice end all but why do they always end with the FL stuck in a floating area talking no jutsu their way to victory like… there has be more ways to end these type of stories like 8/10 romfans stories end this way. i always roll my eyes when the big bad is some evil magic fart cause i know this is the final battle we getting
we have like 4 chapters left and no side stories to be found. lowkey hate that she’s just going back to her life as royal after fighting and finding freedom as a baker. I wish the grand duke wasn’t the ML. instead, it should have been the knight friend dude. that way if she HAD to end with a man, she could still keep her bakery.
Completely agree - Like it completely poopoos her whole story at this point. What was the point of creating her found family and finding her own sense of magic and identity, just to give it all up because of A ROYAL MAN again. I also agree it would have been nice to have the knight as her ML so she could keep her shop and be with her new little family, but would have been completely fine if she just kept her bakery and succeeded. Would have been more satisfying than her giving up everything she built. Lol had to get that little rant out there, cause this has been pretty disappointing.
fr the author basically took all the development and characters the fl encountered after leaving the royal family and threw it in the trash.

FUCK NOAH! ALL MY HOMIES HATE THAT BITCH.
He was so infuriating holy shit. I’ve never hated such shamless ogML as much as i hate noah. I’m glad serena was sucha girl’s girl. I’m tired of the double-face ogFL in this kinds of stories that are shameless and don’t get the fact that they are. Serena always cared for the FL and truly wanted to be friends with her. I wouldn’t have been mad if it turned out to be a GL story.
or is it good cause it’s short?
