Ive seen some tropes where one person is jealous that their lover loves someone and doesn't realize its them. But I really like that this one took it even further with how the seme doesnt realize he gave the hickey. Thats really high level misunderstanding seeing how the seme keeps forgetting their nightly sessions
I thought it would be a story about 3 ridiculous guards disguised as non guards, like a chef or gardener, protecting a little girl (it said young princess. I thought like a 5 year old!) But it being a parasite is pretty cool too. Subverts my expectations, but is also sad cause I wanted 3 muscular dudes...
Hey im just kinda curious if the MC ever gets revenge for what the prince did to him. Im kinda tired of these 'revenge' stories where the MC doesnt ruin their enemy. It feels so utterly fake because hate, real hate, is so much stronger than that. I expect the MC to at least kill or horrifically cripple the prince if he wont go the torture route. And like what chapter do we see their revenge?
It feels a bit bland and lacking in many aspects such as their interactions, but more than makes it up by having a FL who will not grovel back to her abusers. I understand she cant be completely independent and has to rely on others (ML) but still demonstrates her taking inititive in seperating herself from her situation.
Hope the saintess can cast curses, blights, or remove some sort of divine blessing on the land, making it so every one will suffer such as famine and pestilence and all the abundance of the earth will taste like ash until they as a collective punish those who abused her. Lovely.
Kay Im not quite on board with this manga. I understand he was deprived of social interaction and lacks a lot of common sense/wisdom due to his isolation, but theres a limit to my suspension of disbelief. Seeing extremely old character act like ignorant children, not childish but children who can't use basic logic and observational skills, really disgusts me. Its character assassination. He doesnt have to be a mary sue but at least make it so that he has some awareness and reasoning.
All i want to know is what happens to the tristen family? His father and step mother? I love the revenge aspects, although it would be extremely dissapointing if he forgave them knowing his father butchered countless innocents and that woman harmed him and his mother. Having no consequences to unforgivable acts has become a stupid trope that again really assasinates their character. Really gratifies me when this 'mercy' bites them in the ass.
Anyone else tired of these types? I remember one where a horrible criminal (her sister) stole and abused her power, then the MC let her go when everyone was pushing for punishing her crime. Soon afterward the sister escaped and killed people. Those innocent deaths were at the hands of the stupid FL for enabling evil.
Thats what it is, evil because it enables evil. This is not about having them be redeemed by making up for their actions, this is giving them the chance to hurt others, bwcause they do not regret the hurt they have caused.
I hope that happens, that because the FLs stupid decision innocent people are killed, and hopefully she understands that you cannot save those who don't want to change.










1 chapter in and it does a wonderful job of establishing the MC's inferiority complex. And makes you start to understand why villain type characters sometimes become that way. Its not that they hate their counterpart protagonist. They hate how everyone belittles their efforts and refuse to acknoledge them, and they cant help but direct their anger at the person they keep being compared to.
Its made worse by the brothers willful ignorance of the mc's suffering. And yes, willful. Afterall he must be a certain level of selfcentered to not recognize how people are comparing them when the mc easily recognized it. Or the implications in skipping the mc for him. I actually really hate characters like him. Sure he may not be at fault but how can he say he loves his brother when hes so blind to his obvious pain. Again that lack of acknowledgement makes me sympathize with the villain types so much more
Basically like 'I swear i wont bother you again'. If you havent read it. The mc did wrong in the past life, but the mcs sister in the current life kept ignoring how their father was so hateful to the mc. It really makes you lose sympathy for her and understand the mcs motivations before
For understand that you have to be in the same situation of the White brother. If not who can't understand anything. That why you can’t understand the problem.
I agree with you, but you'd be surprised how unobservant the average person is. And judging by the average white person I know, they truly can't wrap their head around how discrimination can be things other than open aggression, and that it still affects you.
So I find it very easy to imagine he genuinely hasn't noticed. At some point you're still choosing ignorance though, so I'm extending this grace while he's a child
