I do love toxic stories and do know what im getting into but people trying to defend tristan need a reality check. He is disgusting right now for me and no amount of justification or realistic treats will make it diferent from what it actually is, he is cruel, selfish and evil and i love all the sh*t that's coming to him by the spoilers i read. He deserves all of it. He has no need or bussiness to be this nasty right now when mc is literally one step from being disabled either from the name sickness or because this man is raming him without any once of consideration every night arg he can rot in hell for what i care
You trippin bro?
How is a straight man refusing to have sex with another man cruel?
I love Tristan for how realistic he is, not every straight man is gonna jump the gun to get intimate with the same sex bc it's supposed to be BL.
And how is it cruel that he kept going when Eden specifically begged him MULTIPLE times to just ignore him and continue? Did you forget when he literally told Eden to stop and consider his health and body.
Saying he can't continue bc it won't fit, it'll hurt and he's too thin to endure it?
Yeah it was a couple chapters ago but I still remember it.
Well i don't think it is unrealistic to think a straight man having penetration with another man is possible, not saying jump to it but after some deliveration it can be posible, taking into account the person who is begging for help is gonna end up disabled for life. At the end of the day in this universe, it does feel like a responsability because he literally is the only who can save him from that fate. I would do that for someone, i don't understand why you think having empathy is something weird like come on, this universe pictures an extreme situation. Also he told him to continue etc, all this situation is rapey for both of them, and both of them are aproaching it wrong but no way in hell i would still be hard if i was a man while penetrating someone i know im hurting and continue because the other person say so like im not a sadist like this guy seems to be. As they said there's other ways besides penetration and even if he found it disgusting he had no right to act like a demon and ramble someone, he could be just gentle and careful. There's ways to avoid hurting the uke like that, it's wrong. The uke is just punishing himself and being autodestructive and the same is all for it
Yeah physically sex is possible but you need to pause and actually think about it, a straight man who is attracted to WOMEN is asked by practically a stranger to have sex with him, a MAN. Your own benefit? None except for an unpleasant experience.
Just because the reality of the universe is cruel, doesn't change your own orientation.
Sure this is BL but I understand Tristan, he stands to gain nothing, it's literally not his issue to deal with.
Not everyone is cruel for not sacrificing themselves for a stranger, it's just way more realistic that he declined.
He felt bad for him so was willing to offer financial aid even though he didn't have to, he took responsibility in a way he felt able to, that's empathetic imo.
You just said yourself this universe is cruel so there was probably no better way to approach it but to practically rape each other physically and emotionally.
Not something I agree with personally either.
How is Tristan a sadist for abiding by his own contract? He was coerced into sex with the same gender and begged to continue even if it hurt Eden, so how is he the bad guy? Both are victims of the name disease.
Tristan tried to be gentle at first but it wasn't working and he ended up hurting Eden even more. The pain later on was from continued penetration but that was asked of HIM, he was the one being forced.
He did take care of his body, washed him, fed him and stopped when Eden fell unconscious too. He followed Eden's request and the contract.
Eden isn't punishing himself, he needs as much physical contact and exchange of fluids as possible, 24/7. If this story isn't to your liking, I'd just stop.

Think of it this way. A complete stranger with kidney failure comes up to you and ask you to donate one of your kidneys to them bc you're a match. You can save their lives by donating one of your kidneys. The right thing to do is to donate one of your kidney's right? Keep in mind, while you won't die with only one kidney left, you will face complication for the rest of your life. That is essentially what Eden is asking Tristan to do. Name imprint is a life long commitment. Sleeping only once is not enough. If Tristan ever stops having sex with Eden, Eden's illness will relapse.
As someone that read the novel, here is a spoiler for you:
Tristan is suicidal. Or it is heavily implied he is suicidal. If Eden didn't come into his life like he did, Tristan would've offed himself. What attracted Tristan to Eden is Eden's desperate will to live. The reason why Tristan changed his mind and decided to sleep with Eden is becomes Eden threatened to rape Tristan for his cum. That made Tristan realize Eden is willing to do whatever it takes to live, the complete opposite of him. So the painful sex and Tristan constantly asking Eden to give up is not only treatment for Eden but Tristan trying to gauge just how far Eden is willing to go.
Another spoiler, later in the story, Tristan is only willing to continue living because of Eden. When Eden got delayed because of a snowstorm and is later hospitalized, Tristan almost drives down the mountain and into the snowstorm for Eden. It was almost certain death bc of the icy and windy roads. His staff tries to stop him, but he knocks them all down and gets in the car, ready to go. It is only when one of his staff yells, "If you die, Eden dies too!" bc without Tristan's constant bodily contact and fluid, Eden's sickness will relapse. That immediately calms Tristan down. He gets out of the car and anxiously waits for Eden's call.
Ending spoiler: When Eden finally removes Tristan's name from his body and frees himself from the name imprint constraint, the two break up and Tristan almost immediately goes back off grid. No one know where Tristan went, and if he's alive or dead.
Bros and sis in the comments i don't lack maturity or judgement it is my opinion and you guys have yours. I don't like tristan and no amount of your reasonings will change that. Each of us have the right of having our own opinion and that's it. I do still like the story and wil continue folowing i just don't like one of the charqcters. Respect to all of you but still i remain in my opinion which is ok as it is yours. I appreciate your spoilers and the time you put on debate with me though i have no time and stuff going on in my life and i can't reply specifically to all of you. Peace and i will take this as a calling to not argue with strangers online no more. We all deserve peace of mind, i shouldn't have said anything at this point
Well i have to say you guys are right...sorry i just don't have the energy to argue and it's better to chill. I did started my argument on the wrong way, anyway it's fiction so whatever we think doesn't apply to reality, i do tend to have opinions about fiction i won't have in reality at all. For example i love reading toxicity and enjoy it in bls but in real life i would call the police if i witnessed anything like this kind of stories portray so yeah haha
No offense to nobody but i binged this and wtf... straight romance is not my thing since ages ago but i decided to try again because i liked the art... im dissapointed. Im not sure how it is portrayed in the novel but after binging the whole manhwa im left with the feeling that maxi and riftan are just strangers to each other, literally maxi has spent more time with everyone except with her husband, homegirl is even close friends with some knights and knows more about them than her own man, all they do is have sex and don't even discuss important things in deepth at all... damn i also guessed that riftan has been infatuated with her since a young age from seeing her while visiting her castle but not even that is properly explained and portrayed at all, leaving the reader with the question of why does he seem to be in love with her when we don't know anything in deepth about him, his past and his connection with her properly. Also i understand that the author wants to portray some sort of brave but insecure woman overcoming her difficulties on the name of feminism but as a feminist myself homegirl maxi comes as a naive child, emotionally inmature and even reckless at times like what you mean you are going to the battlefield on incognito?? I think the author lacks a lot of knowledge on warfare and how things would work in the universe she pictures. And feel bad for riftan breaking his ass to give maxi a good and safe life while she doesn't give a damn and keeps putting herself on unnecessary danger, i understand she wants to do things for herself but this is not it. Im gonna keep up with the updates because i want to know more about their romantic relationship and see where this is going but i feel i wasted hours of my time with this.
100%agree with you. They have not, in the 118 chapters developed these 2 characters as a couple. I wanna drop but I'm trying to hang in there. There's od no communication between these two. It's frustrating because as you said riftan is working his butt of.to give maxi everything she wants buts all he gets in return is her foin something stupid without talking to him. Like he she jus told him about her upbringing, her worries, and doubts alot of things would make since for him and they could develop together.
I'm in agreement with you on Maxi being so naive.
The fact that these men are soldiers and have been fighting these creatures for years and are pros and have a hard time, she waltz around acting like this is a game while sneaking around and putting herself and others in danger.
She is an amateur mage and doesn't have the street smarts to even be in battle. I think the princess being a soldier really left an impression on her that she thinks she can automatically do it too.
She's very naive and I want her to win but between her being a damsel and a head of her house as it's mistress or sneaking into battle, I'd choose her being a damsel.
This story is very stressful and I'm with you on the romance not being what it needs to be.
Yes! I agree. Sort of spoiler ish ahead. Maxi feels that her duty is to only serve her husband in bed and do light duties, whatever that is, where as riftan does all of the difficult shit. She feel like she is an object and is useless to riftan which is why she decided to go be a mage. She enjoys it and she feels like she can help riftan, which riftan won't like. Riftan don't know how to communicate due to his upbringing. He's use to handling everything on his own and doesn't want Maxi to feel burden about it bc he 'took her away from a good place to his place'. You will continue to see that riftan will continously shut Maxi down. That is the main first step they will overcome as a couple. This issue will remain until a bit after maxi's return. Yes, she shouldn't have gotten to this war but I assure you, it's it's good thing she did got involved.... even tho she sacrificed so much. We also gotta consider tthat in this is a different time era that involves monsters and magic. The people were desperate for helpers and she managed to sneak in bc who sneak into war? Plus, unfortunately for Maxi, she has to start somewhere to get the experience. This experience will help her later. The manhwa don't really do well sometimes but the novel did better . And she won't tell riftan anything bc her shitty father pounded the idea that she is useless and no one wants her if they find out how useless she is, which she ain't useless. But trust, when riftan finds out, ITS GONNA BE AMAZING.
Not to mention she's too sheltered and privileged she thinks riftan is gonna die or fall in love w the princess but she doesn't realize NO ONE WANTS TO GO TO WAR. Her constantly putting herself in danger why?? She has a responsibility as a duchess (?) riftan wanted her to be safe bc he is out here fighting actual monsters and she can barely start a fire. She could've stayed in the nunnery and helped the people suffering he repercussions of the war currently going on instead of willy nilly going into war voluntarily no one WANTS to participate it is actually frustrating me. Don't misunderstand me I love maxi but she's not being realistic and she's putting herself in danger for a silly reason
I may be the only one but im so damn dissapointed... this chapter was so UNECESSARY... after more than a year and a half following this story we get little glimpses of progress in the story and a tease of the second couple (which has me obssesed out of my mind) and all what we get is this two whom i love though getting freaky with damn cherry tomatoes up his ASS... what in the sh*t is going on on author's mind?!?! I love this couple but come on we already have seen them f*ck enough
Im so confused with the dialogue between the secretary and jian, came here after reading the spanish official translation and it doesn't say quite the same as the english one. In the spanish secretary jin says: 'just to make it clear, even though you took care of me i have never agreed to have sex with you' and later on jian replies: 'you say you want me to take care of you but you refuse to fuck me, then why you look at me with lust in your eyes?' So now it says here adore instead of taking care wich could be interpreted as helping/protecting him in life, but adore?? That's a romantic meaning, what is the truthhh between those two?? Some angel please clarify
You can say you adore your significant other but adore just means you love and respect someone wholly. So yes, it can be in a romantic sense but not always. In this case I think the secretary does have romantic feelings for Jian but maybe his respect is holding him back? Or maybe he adores him too much to go further? I guess we’ll have to wait and see how it all unfolds since there hasn’t been much interaction between the two thus far! Sorry if this doesn’t make sense but I hope it helped <3
The only thing karel cares about is banging and possesing sasya god damn it! dude can't even have a long conversation, a hug and clear things up... i don't think i will see the day when he sees sasya as a human being with complex feelings and thoughts for god sake
At first i was gonna disagree but the more I think about it ... U R SO RIGHT. Like i was rereading it and one chapter where sasya asked why Karel loved him... Karel litterally was just like "You're beautiful". SERIOUSLY? Ofc sasya thought their love wasn't gonna last cause his answer was so superficial. Like even now he won't outright ask sasya about his family cause he wants to *do* him first
Exactly! at the beggining of the story i was literally gaslighting myself wanting to believe he truly loved him... but come on! He isolated him and let his mental health deteriorate, not wanting him to truly explore life and what he wanted... then they reencounter and instead of hellou how have you been, what happened, why you left the house, did you try to contact me etc even if he left him, if he loved him he would be happy to see him and if he was living alright, he is just thinking of revenge and banging him... he only likes his appearence! he never cared to find out how important was dancing for sasya and how traumatic it was he was assaulted in the past for pursuing dancing and at the same time how healing it has been now to be able to dance... this dude hasn't even asked for his family?!? They died in the war... he had nobody except julian my godness... karel is sad that sasya wasn't waiting for him in his bird cage! The more i think about it the more mad i get










Oh ma lord how im supposed to wait another week ヽ(`Д´)ノ
so real
