All in all the plot has a lot of potential. What it means to be a sensitive child or an unemotional, godly with supernatural powers both in essence wanting to be loved. I think it could've been very poetic and even a little harrowing but instead it felt a bit like a fever dream. Ch.7 makes me understand the vibe the author was going for but I either wish it was a bit longer or better fleshed out.
For a messed up manwha I liked the twist at the end of the ML also being obsessed with the MC.
I wish the author better clarified two things:
1) if the ML's obsession started off as more of a family and then progressed in to the whole other thing. ¯_ಠ_ಠ_/¯
2) When his feelings shifted because it's mentioned they started kissing at a certain point but it's not really mentioned when. Σ(ಠ_ಠ)
As of now I like the subversion a bit of that traditional grooming abusive trauma tie relationship where the bottom is usually the weak twink who is completely emotionally tied to the ML and an ML who is obsessive but more so domineering. (ꏿ﹏ꏿ;)
In this case it's switched where the top is the scapegoat good kid who trauma bonded with his protector older brother and doesn't necessarily see him as family but a lover. (o´・_・)っ
Then you have the "labelled bad person by the father" older brother who lost his mother and is abused by the one family he sticks with because it's his "only family. 乁( . ര ʖ ര . )ㄏ
The ML attaches himself to the MC as a "light in the dark" type figure and at the end it's revealed he views him almost like a gift from his father who found him a "new family". ( ° ʖ°)ᕤ Wether or not he actually started to have fillings from the MC inappropriately when he was younger (kinda hinted from the flashback and UKE "letting it rip" when he shared the same smile as the flashbacks) or has essentially "naturally let the feelings shift to match the MC" it's interesting nonetheless. 乁༼☯‿☯✿༽ㄏ
Idk why I'm writing so much lmao →_→ but I think it could've been written a little better. I was also curious about the line about ML not enjoying the s€x as either just not enjoying bottoming and wanting to top MC (kinda show in ch.7 he don't mind getting freaky lmao) or if he just didn't want to do nothing.
Anyways those are my thoughts and I'll likely forget about this manwha in a few hours. (●'◡'●)ノ
I can totally understand why the original MC didn't want his adopted sister to takeover the family. If the powers to nullify/purify demonic energy are only through the bloodline then how on earth is his sister supposed to past down the family talent ( ̄∇ ̄").
I can't help but think that's a bit of a plot hole filled by him probably getting rid of demons later on in the series but...why not tell her lmao (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
I've been dying for a violent fantasy BL with a good plot. (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
I personally love a logical, slightly cold or apathetic ML so this ticks all the boxes. I won't even lie to you I just don't have a thing for stories with blonde MLs so I just never picked this up til ch.53 came out. Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
Really good read! (for some reason there's always a weird added power imbalance especially if you bring the whole duke of the north, emperor thing in to it) #-.-)
