I've been reading this since the official chapters came out but the more the story progresses its almost as if the author enjoys writing rape centered chapters. In the beginning, when Seth was raped by Osiris, he was executed pretty well. Seth was greatly impacted by it and it wasn't brushed off that the rape had a “reason” to be here (not saying that tape is the only way the story could've progressed or that rape is a reason for anything, rape is an unexcused action that should never be justified) the story moves along due the rape and it wasn't just there because someone wanted to draw it. Now that the story has continued and it dragging. The plot is slow and there shouldn't have been 30+ filler chapters, throught those we see Seth raped in fantasies that weren't even towards the plot or canon the author just wants to draw…rape. Even more at this point, it has become unsurprising to see Seth raped by EVERY SINGLE MAN he meets. The creator enjoys writing Seth and his towards men “allurement” that even women are jealous to the point it is disgusting. This is no longer about a retelling about Egyptian gods with an actual plot and smut sprinkled throughout, the plot is long gone and the story is just being written for fun and rape makes a more frequent occurrence than the supposed ML.
Meant to like
So true like i wish authors were honest about whether they are writing a worthwhile story or their rape fantasy, label your work as what it is its not going to fly over the readers head when almost every chapter is rape or the continuation of it （￣へ￣）
No fr. I almost dropped it because of the rape, cause tell me why it seems like the author wants him to be raped by the entire Egypt. I had to stay tough cause I have to see through, but it hurts having to see Seth suffer in such ways. Like can't we do some other trauma like daddy issues or sum??? cause this rape thing ain't it. It's an amazing historical manhwa with the best plot, but it could've been a bomb one if it weren't for the constant rape.
Fr like in the beginning it was really promising but then it just went to shit and the story drags for long. There should be no reason why he gets kidnapped and sexually assaulted by a village and then raoed by the guy with a beard in the same arc…
You're so right, it's just a rose fantasy about the creators OC
It’s been established that the author has a r*pe kink. Which is a shame cuz the art is good and the overarching plot is good as well. I’ve been following this manhua for years and nothing will ever beat S1 in terms of quality :(
yeah, the rape scenes disgust me, its just unbearable. this would be so much better if they just dropped it
I agree that I would like Seth to be able to break the cycle and move on, however lets not forgot that it was Seth himself who lead to this state of affairs. Seth is both victim and (former) aggressor of violence, in his case it was particularly violence towards women. I don't believe it would be enjoyable reading for him to just get a happy ever after without atoning for the atrocities he's inflicted upon innocent women for hundreds of years.
TL;DR I love Seth, hate seeing him abused, but he's a flawed character working through atoning for his past
I agree but at the same time, nobody wants to see someone constantly raped over and over again. The author could have chosen a plethora of different options for Seth's atonement. Even more the creator portrays Seth in a light that he knows his mistakes and wants to atone for them yet he is portrayed for the reader as though he is pitiful and needs help from the men around him. I don't think it's Seth's character that is flawed but rather the writing and execution.
I really like the story and characterization but I'm not going to defend the author on that point - hard agree rape is definitely being overused
I recommend the non 18+ version. I honestly find it gives the entire manwha an different vibe. And even, in general, more story is explored in the chapters that differ

I would've never thought of having a blatant homophobe as the ML in a BL but I the author did. This in the beginning was quite funny, other than the ML's weird remarks that I would believe would result in character development but no. In the beginning, the ML uses coercion to convince the MC to sleep with him and they have a relationship that results in having a FWB relationship. The MC has barely any backbone and allows the ML to walk all over him and disregard his refusal of sex. Many times this happens especially during the somophilia incident. If someone does not consent beforehand or sometimes after depending on the relationship that is sexual assault at the least and rape at its worst. To be honest this has some potential and I believed it would get better but the author doesn't intend on giving a little development to the MLs character other than “My heart hurts why can't my dick get hard” which is not development. Using the “My dick doesn't get hard without you which means we need to be together excused” is extremely lazy and lacks any kind of forethought, if anything it shows the creator's skills in writing which aren't very good.
Whoa whoa, don’t hate on the author. I think it’s great. You also haven’t even gotten halfway through the story, so there are many things that need to be tied up. Since I’ve read the raw chapters, I know what’s in store a few chapters ahead. It’s really good. The redemption arc begins in a few episodes and the ml truly does some soul searching. He’s not perfect, he still makes terrible decisions that Garam will probably hate him for later, but, looking at popularity alone, this author has done a great job. It’s not exactly unique, the the characters are funny and relatable.
