Is this a web novel? Is she dying? Because I feel like she's a character written to die. Spoil me please. My depression can't handle tragedies. (=・ω・=)
I don't think so
Like Eve and Isrielah. I hope they'd be free from this adults at one point and end up being good friends with Evie and the rest.
Cute progression though, I kind of had a hunch Irene and Ruskah will be paired hehehe
it's very obvious like Arcel and Evie too
Is this smut and if it is what chapter? (⊙…⊙ )
Idk how to explain it but technically there I'd no smut but we get hints I guess
I was going to complain about the lack of chemistry. But I get it. It's really just a one night stand type of thing. Where it's just about getting off and nothing more.
The part about your girlfriend turning into your daughter? Or just a weird translation error. Because that was weiiiird.
It's soooo wholesome.
I honestly didn't know what to expect.
I am just glad to find a story that doesn't have such a tragic story for FL or for the ML.
It's very fluffy and a lil bit smutty.
Rereading this and I am at chapter 80.
Rick and Morty just ruined dragons for me because all I can think of is that episode about dragons and soul bonding hahahaha
I am kind of disappointed how the Mom is written. I even had to go back to Ch1 to check how her first appearance went. She honestly just felt like a mom who let her daughter be taken away by the dad because she knows deep down she is better off with the dad than with her.
She just seem like a cold, tough woman.
So I am surprised when Oscar suddenly said she abandoned Lilith, and throw them under the bus to protect her new family. Not even a build up. Just litreraly *plop* convenient villain.
I am not saying it's right. Or she's right.
Enoch and Selena are both forced into a political marriage. And then she remarried out of love and gave birth again
I think Enoch not being angry knowing she's the reason they got found shows he understood she made certain decision as a parent who have someone to protect now. Not saying that justifies it but I just feel like she's poorly written because the author forced a parent villain just so Lilith could have a tragic background.
I am assuming Selena would only get worse because the author is forcing that shallow, pulled out of their ass villain trope, making her a iredeemable vile character. I love the webtoon but I just HAAAAATE forced/convenient character just to force narratives.
She is vile for favoring one child to the other, Yes. But i think it's just badly written that she is iredeemable.
It's deeper than that.
I agree her first impression wasn't bad. Knowing she was forced into the first marriage and having a child, she didn't had any bad intentions letting Enoch run away with their baby.
But we get to know about the past and present. Where the mother is the cause for the misery and tragic ending. Of course the true villain is the emperor but the egoistic act of the mother by telling their whereabouts and [spoiler in the later chapters]
not hiding Lilith rank, instead letting the emperor find out, which caused the tragedy only because of her selfish action.
She wasn't threated in any way to tell Enochs location, instead she wanted to retire and was promised that her child (lilith halfbrother) wouldn't have to entlist in the future.
Her wishes are relatable, but her selfish act led to others tragedy.
She choose for herself to rat them out and to obey the emperor schemes
I do understand your perspective. I still think she is a villain, not the worst in that story, and deserves her ending.
Unfortunately, I have to disagree. For me, this isn’t really about Selena’s failures as a biological mother, but about her failures as a human being. I can understand her being biased toward the son she actually raised and emotionally detached from the daughter she was coerced into having and eventually abandoned. She was a victim of the system, and I don’t expect her to suddenly make up for everything or fulfill some perfect maternal obligation toward Lilit.
But what she did goes far beyond simply being a neglectful mother. She stopped treating Lilit like a human being at all. She willingly sent a child to be sacrificed to protect her own son. And Lilit wasn’t simply killed—she was tortured, experimented on, manipulated, abused, and torn away from her father. Even if Lilit had never been Selena’s daughter, knowingly allowing a child to go through that is still an enormous moral failure.
And that’s where I can’t give Selena the “she was just a victim” excuse. If she was desperate enough to sacrifice someone to protect her son, she still had choices. She could have sought Enoch’s help, tried to fight the Emperor, put herself at risk, or found some other way to resist the system. If the story is insisting that a child had to be sacrificed, why was Lilit the one she was willing to throw away? Why was protecting her own child worth sacrificing someone else’s?
Selena was a victim, yes, but she also became part of the machine that victimized her. She chose to save her own child while allowing another child to suffer unimaginably, as though one child’s life mattered more than the other’s. And honestly, what makes it even harder for me to sympathize with her is that she doesn’t seem to genuinely regret what she did. Victimhood can explain why someone makes terrible choices, but it doesn’t erase their responsibility for those choices.
I agree with your points and again I am not excusing her actions. Hands down I agree she is a terrible mom but I guess my biggest qualm is the build up leading to her being that way felt forced that's why to me it felt as if she's a mere plot tool.
I think she’s portrayed as forced to some extent, but if you look at it from another perspective, her role actually makes sense. She was the one who told the emperor where she, her daughter, and her father were living, and she was the one who essentially sold the MC to him. So she was directly involved in what started the whole fiasco.
The reason it feels forced is because we barely saw her. If the author had spent, say, 20–30 chapters showing her past—what she was doing, what happened in the laboratory, how much she knew about the experiments, and what she knew was happening to the MC—then her actions probably wouldn’t feel so sudden. Instead, she only got a handful of chapters, so there wasn’t enough buildup for us to properly understand her role.
So yeah, I agree that anyone could technically have played that role, but narratively, it was her actions as the mother who sold her daughter and revealed their whereabouts to the emperor that set everything in motion. The concept itself isn’t necessarily forced; it’s the lack of development and buildup that makes it feel forced.
Yeeees it does makes sense that it's her moving this narrative with her betrayal. And had it been built up well. It would have been even more well-written story. I remember when I commented this I was probably binging a couple historical fantasy manhwas and I just got a bit frustrated that most moms are just freaking terrible and this just boiled me over hahah
But I do like the story, I love the art too. It's one of the few isekai fantasy that stood out to me.
I also feel that if, for example, they had shown the mother’s inner monologue, what she was thinking in the past and in the present, and why she was forcing herself to do certain things, I think the story would have become totally focused on the mother. I think the author’s point of view was to, you know, not exactly fixate on the mother, but to portray the Emperor as the main, final villain. Even though the mother was a very important part of the story, if they had shown more of her, she would have literally gotten all the hatred because the author actually did a good job portraying the hatred toward the Emperor and the things he was doing. But if they had focused on the mother and everything she was doing, I think the whole point would have shifted toward her instead. If we had focused on her, I can tell you this would have been a totally different story. The Emperor would have become a side character, while the mother would have basically become the main character of the whole story.
I haven't gotten far enough into the story yet. Yes the emperor is probably the main villain but the mother would have been the villain that would have hurt the most and the most tragic that's why it felt forced when it was literally dropped out of nowhere. That was just my view and of course this is subjective.
This is the part where people would be yelling
‘CAT FIGHT’
