It’s the same old story of people foisting human morals/ expectations on inhuman characters and being shocked when they proceed to not GAF.
I can extend grace for the idea of his human upbringing subliminally impacting him, therein instilling some humanity via osmosis? But that’s with the premise of an environment where little baby leatherface isn’t constantly exposed to ABUSE, BETRAYAL, DEVASTATION and SLAUGHTER… yeah. Probably feeds right into his apathy.
Also, objectively, dragons horde their treasures/obsessions and can withstand brutal climates. So 1) Abel being his treasure- no shit- aligns with his beast nature and 2) he knows he’ll survive whatever devastation he brings and either keep Abel alive or (worst case) wait for another reincarnation down the line.
*Special novel spoiler 3) Abel finds him mid fire and is just like “go for it”- which I love since he’s been consistent since the beginning in supporting Karas in both human and beast nature. He is the only one that sees through to Kara’s’ core and doesn’t waver in his belief.
Obvi he does say he’d prefer him NOT to burn the world down, because there’s people he cares about and things he wants to do with Karas, but he doesn’t beg or force it just waits until inevitably Karas himself decides that getting to sleep in the same bed when there’s no empty rooms in a crowded inn outweighs global destruction.*
If Teach is the reason he died the first time (hence the stitches, maybe some ill fated lovers shit IF WE EVER GET TO THE MYTHOLOGY) and now he can’t die without resurrecting, which is why he’s so blasé about alter-ego-sleep-Teach being a homicidal maniac (and views awake-amnesia-Teach like the huge dumbass pet rock he is.)
I still stand by Nox going way too weak on Liam, man did not do shit to make amends for his treatment of him.
I don’t want anyone waving their Yu-Gi-Oh! decks of other MLs that are worse at me either; I’m not here to play comparison battles with you. I’m only speaking on his garbage behavior wrapped in a recyclable bow.
How are you going to be fucking around on him and then acting like he needs to be chaste, then be the one to coerce him into sexual situations he isn’t initially comfortable with, and THEN imply he’s easy later on WHILE YOUVE NEVER STOPPED STREET ACTIVITIES.
Now that he’s desirable by literally every man in his life and he has confidence back, you want to switch up and cuff him? Just because he’s a push over there doesn’t have to be accountability? If you did all of this but just didn’t SMILE and act friendly, it would change the whole connotation of it. Pleeease. I do not like this man. (Side note, sooo creative of author to attribute his feelings for Nox to the BOND. Lmao. That was his big revelation of why he wanted to be together, not because he ACTUALLY cared about him but the BOND made him. Probably because they’ve known each other 5 seconds.)
Plus, he’s literally bonded to his adopted brother, there was no reason for the author to keep him around after the pheromone assistance and filler kinky scenes. Sigh. Should’ve given us his brother who they threw in for ONE useless scene of attempted “look it’s so hard for fuckboys” exposition.
Okay, rant over.
This is on Webt**n, one of my fave apps like T^p^s to read on. You can catch up there, if you can’t stand being on hold like me (also to support the absolute power house that brings us Mori and fam ♡ )
ALSO (spoiler)
Even though it’s ending I’d like to believe that with the theme of recent chapters the author will continue with side stories having mini adventures for the crew around adopting out the other babies











Brother is literally dying on his own. What’s the point in wasting the Tiger Lords time/resources to get an emergency elixir to THEN make a half assed attempt on Ohwi’s life?
You could’ve just left him for the soldiers and escaped into the scroll on your own if you wanted to take revenge. Pointless shit.
I think this might be literally the stupidest MC I've ever seen in a BL
