Yes I am working on the next chapter but it's taking some time because there is more to edit and the chapter is twice as long. But there will be an update (*^▽^)/★*☆♪

Ohh thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me!

I hopefully didn’t add any pressure on you though! I’m already so grateful for the existing chapters and the newest update, please take your time and have fun! (▰˘◡˘▰)

No don't worry about pressuring me! I'm very happy someone is awaiting a new update and it gives me the motivation to continue working. Hope you like the next chapter when it comes out (ゝω・´★)

Yohan is basically a lunatic and jun is also kinda weird, but his lukewarm reaction is him being calculative and hiding his emotion (it's like pretending to be quiet to not anger the bear or something), as a novel reader i assure you jun will blow up somewhere in the future

Girl he’s crazy asf it doesnt need to be explained. He flies off the handle as soon as shit doesn’t go his way.

I don't mean to be insensitive but I don't get what's wrong. Could you please explain?

It's hella tone deaf, stuffed with racist tropes, and shows very little research into a very sensitive historical period in favor of writing gay sex. You can see the gross dynamics it has like slave master × slave and white savior. As a example, it would be like writing a smut story centered on a Nazi and a Jewish person, or a comfort woman and an Imperial Japanese soldier. Historical context and the cruelty that happened during those periods make those relationships HEAVILY problematic to romanticize.

To put it very very simply, the problem was the slave topic this chapter had. The slaves we’re depicted as people of color (only) while their oh so great saviour is a white dude freeing them of their demise - knowing the historical context of this, especially the history of the black community being endlaved and oppressed is just extremely tasteless. Thinking about the Dern’s wealth probably being build on slavery is also just ironic + white MC being of perfect blue blood (which America never had)

The slaves didnt have any personality, no face, no names. They were like “omg thank you young master” when MC BOUGHT them free, with money that wasn’t even rightfully earned as I said before - and freedom ISN’T something that they shouldn’t be given to. It’s not noble, MC isn’t a saviour. But he’s being depicted as one (Hence white saviour complex) even though he and his family are kinda part of the problem.

Also Ezra’s design is just kinda weird to me imo. The blue eyes to “make sure he’s not TOO foreign” is kinda funny to me haha but they HAD to make sure that he still looks “oh so exotic” with his tan skin, pearls in the long hair etc etc.

Hope it’s understandable, English isn’t my first language plus I’m not the best historian lmao

The way he's much more lighter than the faceless characters too...

Yes! It’s like they wanted to create a character who seems “exotic”/“savage” but still wanted for him to fulfill the Asian/european beauty standards l haha it’s insane

genuinely asking, if the story takes place in fantasy world and all the characters have the same skin tone, does it also count as insensitive? I think I’ve crossed many historical reincarnation manhwas with that trope, where for example the fl bought the ml from auction. will master x slave trope always be a sensitive topic or is it depends on the situation itself?

sorry I mean to say fiction world

Any master/slave romance is kind of icky to me personally, but that's just my opinion... THE main issue here is the historical context. A fantasy story with fictional slavery and a story that's clearly drawing from real world slavery, colonialism, and racial oppression aren't going to be received the same way. Once you start borrowing from real history, especially something as horrific as slavery, people are naturally going to be more critical of how it's portrayed.

Good question honestly. In my opinion, It really depends on the story itself. For example, if it was the other way around (a man buying a female) it would leave such a BAD taste in my mouth, especially if it’s Korean media too (because women have always been oppressed and we don’t wanna start with the Korean male dominated society.) and to make it even worse, imagine a white man buying woman of color. It’s just feels weird imo because of the context. THE VERY fine line regarding sexual abuse towards men is apparent though because in no way am I saying that men “deserve it more” be objectified in this kind of way.

I don’t believe the master x slave genre itself is problematic at all, even tho it’s not my cup of tea. the way this kind of media is consumed and portrayed is the important part.

it’s the same with rape fantasy. Portraying or even reenacting rape fantasy in a safe and sane way is totally fine. But fetishising, constantly romanticising or even downplaying it is just incredibly wrong. Female rape fantasy written by a female doesn’t feel as wrong as a man writing out female rape fantasies (because of historical and in real life context)

But girl who am I to judge. I’m not smart enough to be participating in this kind of debate honestly HAHAH

Regarding the “fantasy/fiction world” thing

I get what you mean because do our rules, norms and morals apply to fantasy worlds? Coming back to the topic of racism, if I create a world where only 1 ethnicity exists, does racism even matter?

I’m too dumb to answer that but imo it’s yes. Because human media can never be created without context I guess. Is it bad writing, ignorance or just artistic freedom. I have no idea tbh hahaha

It all depends on historical context! Basically.

This made me cackle like hyenas

I’m glad i could make u laugh hahaha
