black flag? yandere? genuine risk of ilay killing taeui out of rage and despair thats been building up over 140 chapters? THATS WHY IM HEREEEEEEE THIS IS PASSIONS APPEAL
i called him a black flag bc he is, but i wouldn't be here if *i* didn't enjoy it.
also, was there genuinely actually any point ilay was going to kill taeui? i know he says every time he was sooooooo close to killing taeui but i don't believe that shit for a second. ilay is a bitchass poser when it comes to taeui.
no regret arc bc ilay riegrow regrets NOTHING this black flag doesnt even have a sad backstory to justify it, he's a psychopath who's head over heels in love and STAYS that way and he and taeui have to grapple with the logistics of it. honestly that's what makes this series so unique and interesting. the novel series extends way into the future where they've already been partners for multiple years and ilay for a while believes since he essentially forced tay to be with him then tay isn't with him because he wants to, it's bittersweet yet he accepts it. only for tay to correct him and express he loves ilay so so much and it's aaggghhh
started off strong but it went downhill after MC escaped with eyepatch guy and all it took was a single conversation for ML to not be a psycho and then eyepatch guy turned out to be super vengeful ....and then also changed his mind after a single conversation later on?? and like everyone's reincarnated??








Although he treats his servants badly, he never rapes Isaac. They start having sex so he can transfer energy to Isaac so Isaac can perform magic so it's not really lovemaking but it's consensual.
