My main couple is capitalismmaxxing and taking advantage of native tribeswomen and kelly is literally held hostage and branded by a woman leveraging her status and power to keep her around this has gone to shit. The author being super woke about women and their limited roles in aristocratic society vs being okay w a person allowing another to almost get assaulted to ‘wake them up’ (they are hinted to be another future couple), having toxic yuri with a deeply problematic (but also completely non compelling) aristocract/pauper dynamic while the only good couple is now becoming all about growing wealth even unethically… vro just send them back to school where this was still good.
So ever since then I’ve know this manga as ‘that one pedo manga’ (okay maybe the second, the first is that one ‘naive love of a baseball boy’ or whatever it’s called). I saw it updated and wanted to check if the comments are still acknowledging the elephant in the room (Griz being a pedo) and they are! Y’all are great for not refusing to address the fact that he’s a pedophile I love people who have reading comprehension.
It’s so funny how Ian is the stereotypical top personality transplanted over a bottom. Then again, the cold northern duke is the fake-Russian dominant man bullshit, so ofc this is the case. (Michele is also from fake-France btw).
I feel sympathetic to his backstory, but at the same time it’s so difficult to be understanding when you’re actively seeing him navigate a conversation with Michele like an abuser would. He’s so good at making Michele seem narrow minded and making himself seem subservient while entirely driving the conversation to make Michele look like the bad guy.
I’m sorry dude Michele is barely an adult, he isn’t his father who hurt and abused you, this dude just believed he spent a month falling in hopeless and agonising love with a servant only to realise he was being deceived all along by his fiancée, and that’s disorienting enough already. Why make it seem like he suddenly hates you bc he doesn’t see you as a peer, and that he would rather have you in a lord/servant relationship. Poor Michele.
Yeah Ian has a messed up past and he's right to be angry, but he should be angry at the adults that wronged him, not Michele who is young, naive, had to uproot his entire life to marry Ian and rn is forced to be dependent on him on everything. Unpopular opinion but not even Katya deserved the treatment she got in the novel, even if she does bad things she's a pitiful character that was driven into a corner too.
Everyone loving and encouraging how freaky chani chani and suckjun are not a single comment stating otherwise everyone wanting them to be freakier fr this is the watered down horny Chinese lesbian twitter convention but for yaoi lovers I love being among fellow freak enjoyers. Chani chani is so going to get into giving blowjobs but only to suckjun brother is saying ‘get hard only for me’ I’m afraid it’s owari da for you yechan.
If yall think this is the most sihyun can piss you off think again this man is about to pull the stupidest masterclass in breaking a heart and then joohwan is going to one up him. good luck reading this pookies <3
Thankfully it doesn’t last two long but when I was reading it my heart completely dropped but basically
*spoilers*

Sihyun assumes that marrying into a conglomerate will make him more useful to joohwan (since he would be situation more securely in his family’s conglomerate structure even if he’s an illegitimate child) so he tries to talk about it like it’s a beneficial thing meanwhile joohwan ends up in a lot of distress and pain and then they do some more bdsm but joohwan’s actual anger starts bleeding through and he hurts Sihyun. Sihyun starts crying non stop and we see/read the whole situation from his unloved-child paranoid perspective (it’s honestly really sad how his brain works) and then they talk properly for the first time and resolve their misunderstanding.
Being a person with a sibling complex doesn’t justify denigrating the relationship your brother has with his crush / boyfriend under (what he believes to be) false pretences.
It’s genuinely disturbing to me that both brothers know their younger brother has a mutual love with jaechan and instead of helping the situation be better for their garam they are stifling their relationship out + shit talking jaechan to his face and asking him to stay away from garam when them being together would make garam happier. It’s so selfish and weird. The way his older brother was telling garam that jaechan probably only likes him and is using him bc he looks like his crush (who unknown it to garam is himself) would destroy most people’s confidence and happiness. Ew. I hate people like it, even if they’re fictional.
Absolutely lost all respect for that hyung becuz of that. Some sibling-complex (when done right, doesn't feel over the top and has good backstory to it) I can accept, but his? Icky, I was so close to throwing my phone when garam chewed him out on the stop, I say deserved. As for the pink haired hyung, I don't like him as well, but I don't dislike him. He's somewhat of a helper to jeachan? To me he hasn't done anything particularly mean, besides if you count the part where he keeps testing jeachan when he said it won't go far from kissing. He even thanked him personally in his shoot and told him something integral about garam's past.










Brothers who are golden children chasing after their neglected sibling’s partners (whatever capacity said partner is in) is so disgusting, they won’t let you have even one thing to find joy in for yourself. Since the story is romance and not just smut I know he’ll end up with jaeyi, but it genuinely gives me the ick when the secondary love interest is the sibling of the first one. Also ngl weird that people want ideum to sleep with both as if fucking brothers and ending up with one of them works out lol.
Ikrrr!! But many people think it's okay just because it's fiction
