Anybody know where this is going because its taking so long and its going nowhere. Felt like the last 5 chapters were pretty much the same and we learn something new every 3 chapters. How long is this gonna take?
Copied this from my original comment butt
Soo, just gonna try to explain this fast, but basically he isn't the dukes servent, he's the duke himself and he's getting revenge on the MC, why? Because the MC's dad abused him and SA'ed him, along with his brother and now he's planning on taking revenge on the MC because of what they did and trying to "tame" him. Is it the MC's fault? No, how could he have known what they did to Ian(The servent who's actually the duke) when he wasn't even born yet, which he wasn't, he was still inside his mom's stomach at the time this was going. So basically this is all revenge plot that I plan on reading completely because I'm curious how this is gonna play out (=・ω・=)
I appreciate the author's attempt to highlight postpartum body dysmorphia but I feel like it missed the mark since the character barely had a baby bump to begin with. If there was any significant physical change during the pregnancy, it was not showed clearly. It was talked about which left me confused because He looked chiseled from conception to delivery so the whole body dysmorphia thing just isn't landing. It would have made sense to depict the character with a bulging stomach to drive the point home. Even now with the complaint of muscle loss, he is chiseled for the gods. The visuals are lagging behind.
that + the rush back to sex, the lack of more post partum symptoms (brain fog, fatigue, slower muscle regrowth, etc.) even the depictions of mother hood feel flat since there has been no actual buildup of him interacting with the baby outside of this chapter. i appreciate the authors attempt but yeah this storyline is really falling flat.
Fuck you me what I mean? Read my shit again but a little slower this time because you seem to not be getting it Mr/Mrs pregnancy expert. I dont give 2 nor 3 fucks about the mess you talking about him being an omega or what not. All im talking about is the body dysmorphia related to the pregnancy and his stomach. Argue with your mama and not me. I said what I said. People who dont experience a bump during pregnancy dont get body dysmorphia. Dysmorphia from what? Looking the same? You think the dysmorphia is coming from bigger boobs if that even happens or a fat ass bunda?mind you I am only speaking about the physical changes because that particular dysmorphia forces on physical defects. Mental stress is a whole other playing field im not ready to bat in so get off the podium and pass the mic to someone with a point because respefully, you dont.
lol I’ve never seen brain fog depicted as a postpartum symptoms in a manga/manhwa. (I’m sure you’ll throw out a couple titles, but those are outliers, not the norm.) Anyway, not everyone experiences the same postpartum symptoms, so it’s irrelevant. Plus, there were a couple time jumps in the story, the biggest being a couple months.
As for “depictions of motherhood,” he’s not a mother. He’s the child father. There are two dads in this story. You say that there’s been no buildup of them interacting when the child was literally born two chapters before. How much can “buildup” in two chapters. You see them interacting before they leave the hospital, the next chapter has a time jump and the ML interacts with the baby, and now it’s the current chapter where the MC has the baby.
i’m not asking for universal depictions of post partum symptoms, i just think this was a poorly done arc. you’re right about my mistake in writing “motherhood” instead of fatherhood and i’ll gladly acknowledge that. i just think we’re gonna have to agree to disagree here, this isn’t really worth arguing over, i’ll be muting this thread, and have a great rest of your weekend!







I dont want to argue, I just want clarification.
In Thomas flash back we see clone Thomas kill father Gabriel. But if clone Thomas is 20 years old in the present day 2023 when the series started, then that means peter was in his 40s when clone Thomas was created and in his 50s when father Gabriel was killed when clone Thomas was about 10. The story is saying that father Gabriel death was what caused the separation so does that mean peter left when he was in his 50s? Because all the flashbacks suggests he was in his prime when he left. The age timeline is kinda confusing also..... hannah should be pushing towards 40 in age which makes her not much younger than Raphael. So when she died, Raphael should have been a teen? How was a teen doing all this plotting and scheming to hide a child and all that? Can someone explain to me gently please
