I'm starting to get confused why I gave this manhwa a 5star rating?
Oh yeah because I read till S2 last time when Taeui was standing up for himself....
Honestly Taeui should atleast fight back atleast once . Recently he's just been letting himself be used and abused for no reason. His muscles and training are just for show or what? What a character downgrade tch tch tch
Not hating darling, I still didn't change the ratings from 5 star
Understand what exactly? If someone is made used to suffer they'll never change from their circumstances. I dislike that Taeui had a stubborn nature which is tamed by Ilay now. And apparently it will never change back...
Before Taeui had fire, from his mandatory korean military days to his unhrdo days, he was The bravest I've ever seen. And now
Taeui's character has been written to be taken advantage of by his dad, by his brother, and other ppl like Kyle to tame Ilay & save his kidnapped friends too... And he does it unintentionally, but Ilay is the only one he could be stubborn with & make him do what he likes, but guy is busy being weak as hell for no reason. Forgive me if I don't like this part of their dynamics right now.
I mean..dude tried to escape and you saw what happened to him after that. Ig at some point he has no choice but to accept it lol. Not to mention seeing ilay change in various ways is making him develop feelings for him. It's complicated the way it works. Tay is one of those who values his life over his morals I mean hell he said he wouldn't ever bottom but he had to, he had no other choice than to adapt. It would be more accurately Stockholm syndrome if not for the fact that tay did have some feelings for Ilay even before he escaped and what not.
Though I do agree about the part that tay acting as if he has amnesia and forgetting everything ilay does or did to just move on is kind of boring.
Read this as a recommendation from another comment. Thank you so much
Started off strongly & made me weep in an instant , cried utmost every major angst point & some minors too. There's one thing that didn't irk me was there was hardly any shouting yelling FL & ML was comically not stoic throughout the read. He's very expressive!
First of all , I was very much in disbelief of the accusations ML kept throwing towards FL , like, brother she was a young woman raised in aristocracy how would she handle trauma of grief better than what she was taught as? But as I read more i felt that yes naivety & ignorance is not a good sign if a person wanna be shown as a victim. I felt that her suic attempt was justified, because I for one thought she kinda brought this on herself, leaving her no way out & being of no use to someone else like left without any purpose except bring misery to your surroundings. Yet ofc she doesn't deserve that she wasn't raised as a quitter & i felt disappointed in her taking that route . I almost believed it's gonna turn into regression plot. But thank God it didn't.
But boy oh boy this author made her redeem so well with not only divorcing that relationship, as well as finding her a path to redeem her house's atrocities into a name that will not become stained anymore. I cried when ppl started supporting the Rosenberg name again , idk why it felt like yes she's done it (without ML's help for once in this historic troupe) she's some one who i would have admired & made a role model of. Really
Heiner , I don't feel much better when I saw his tortured parts but the obsessive nature that was ironically his own decision, was a breathe of fresh air. I find that most authors torture ML once & keep torturing fL's throughout the story , but this one was a reverse & me being a strong FL fan has finally turned a new leaf , if anything i cried more for his parts . It's incredibly sad how obsession gave him chances to stay alive & move forward. The lines 'my life has been extended again ' after everytime she says she looks forward to seeing him again urghhh I can't... I'm crying again .
One of the best works I read in my life. Truly wonderful. Also the depiction of war & it's desolation it brings on the civilians life is just too good. It does remind me of that one kdrama. It's good too. I hope our manhwa/novel couple will remain together forever unlike them :( Beautiful designs btw, loved the character designs of every one special.
5 stars 100/10 writing, 200/10 art
Haha i finished it in under 24 hours woohoo
Good plot + perfect amount of suspenses
Execution could have been better from FL side.
She gets to know a secret but doesn't act quickly because she doesn't trust the Magician or the Duke because they are supposedly gay and would not hurt the 'evil twink' (haha borrowing from the comment section) , she also didn't help the queen as much as she should have. There's someone who likes the queen but queen still ended up alone and i didn't like that it didn't involve a Yuri Route too Justice for the Queen
The kid is unnaturally the reincarnation of the evil magician so why does he goes fond for his Evil fathers... So sickening. Worry about the mother queen kiddo.
Im really liking the infamous 'Transmigrator goes back to their world along with the ML(s) they have relationship with' troupe. And yes it's unfair they didn't took Sir Mio back but someone has already said that 'one husband is enough'
Girls this is not Stockholm syndrome cause she didn't get attracted/attached with him during her captivity. Infact she was already in love with him since her childhood/teenage years. And will like him again after a long very long time. Forgiving him is impossible but she does feel lonely so she let's him in (in her life as well as her bedroom)
Spoilers: She decided to go see him but she was already exposed to be a rebel's famous daughter who has killed innocent civilians in bombs and what not...and mainly Grace Riddle was known as the daughter of Leon's father's killer. And there was a risk of him hunting her down. The grudge and negetivity Leon has is lil bit justified. But obviously the non-con stuff is his personal sin. The redemption is good cause it was just sex for both of them thankfully and emotional hurt like forced pregnancy, cheating/jealousy was a bigger hurdle to cross. The loneliness* was also key role. Both emotionally and against the rebels. Being a lonely woman with a kidnapped child is not easy.
Since after pregnancy there's no more non con stuff We'll see a better change in this PWP genre and then hopefully there's no more misinterpreted Stockholm syndrome talks.










I thought it was over after he started letting him do handjobs every night .. every night... **lits a cigarette, laughs in duck** he really thought he's not gonna attempt coercion with all that edging? Naive
Anyway let's see how long it takes to end the story bet is ongoing in the other sites as well. I guess everyone is tired of it.
My bet is next 5 chapters of DA & DV , Coercions, sex & crying
And then next 10 chapters with past characters re entry, saving soo young and taeji getting arrested. Doesn't actually goes to jail but we can pretend this rich mf will repent in rehabilitation or whatever.
So next 15 chapters is the limited time for this story to end. Unless there's any unforeseen situation arising like dead mom hallucinations
