There are actually readers who thought this was 100% wholesome lmaooo we’ve been privy to the ML’s trashy thoughts/reasonings for his actions since the beginning. Nothing about this should be a surprise whatsoever
This. Shouldn't be a surprise
Literally what the hell is wrong with this fxcker lmao. Is it bc he hates all nobles or smth and is projecting it onto Michelle? Maybe I just didn’t understand when they were explaining if it’s a spoiler/hasn’t come up yet in the manhwa let me know bc I prefer to not be spoiled
His motivation is actually like the entire core of this work and it's gonna be revealed very slowly and gradually, cause he's a really complicated character. So you haven't missed anything yet
Okay good bc I hate feeling like I skimmed through when I in fact read it carefully even went back to see if I missed anything
The explanation of the rumor/whatever is going on with the gray hair sunbae hasn’t been explained easily or I’m the dumbest person alive (the latter being very possible). Can someone dumb it down for me what the hell is going on with that guy? I reread some chapter so I know there’s smth with rumors and blackmail and now there’s possible embezzlement of the club. Maybe bc I couldn’t care less about the guy, but my brain cannot for the life of me connect the dots
At least for a little bit bc although to the readers it was obvious, for him it must be such a shock and I would imagine, a betrayal. He laid out his feelings like the night before and at the start was basically coerced to participate in cultural traditions (which we have no way of knowing if they were even real, I have a feeling Ian/Ain simply told him all of that to convince MC to have sex with him which I had a off feeling about the entire time). The process low-key reminded me of grooming in a way (??) where ML was molding MC into the behavior that he wanted without the MC knowing he was doing these acts with his real husband-to-be (or wife as they say here for some reason).
The entire time I was thinking what could possibly be a good enough reason for this that would have me going “okay, you know what, I get that” and I couldn’t come up with one. Closest was to see how MC would treat the servants/get a glimpse at the MC’s real personality or smth. I figure it’s closer to the ML treating the MC like the wounded rabbit: he wanted to have the MC have a strong emotional bond with him by being there during his first month of transition, have MC rely on him fully the way nobles from the south seem to do with their servants (maybe he thought MC wouldn’t if he met ML as his husband), and as a result would be forever grateful and tied to ML’s side.
Idk, I’m definitely looking forward to see what happens next. Does the MC distance himself with this new knowledge, or does he immediately give in?
Did say that hed still love him even if the true ain is a different person lol. But jeez what you said about grooming feels right. The title is called "the taming" i suppose. But seriously for what purpose other than something about it being a northern custom would you go through this. Even then... i cant imagine historically this being great. And yeah same i was constantly wondering how many of the stories ain was saying were made up.
Also that if this were het itd be some super porny plot (which... this is i suppose though its trying to do more?) but sex training is such a ridiculous conceit i couldnt tell if i should take it seriously or not as something reasonable in this world (where we're naive like michel)
The way my dumbass didn’t even put two and two together with the title lmao. I had assumptions it was going to be the blond taming the dark haired ML, but if it does coincide with what I’ve said above, that leaves an even worse taste in my mouth
Also, same here. Whenever the ML said smth about Northern Culture I didn’t believe anything he said. All I could think was how convenient that the place the MC was staying at didn’t have other “servants” at the ready and I full heartedly believe the reason was because the ML didn’t want the MC cross referencing what he told him aka he didn’t want his lies/slanted truths if (we’re being generous) to be discovered
Agreed: if this was hetero this would 100% be put in the ecchi category. Sex training??? Lmaoooo alright
Yeah lmao like the story how northerners can't masturbate bc its a betrayal, and couples have to please each other when desired like you cant be serious. In reality it comes across as something a shitty bf says to coerce a gf into sex so i had to turn my brain off a bit there. I wonder if the rest of the ppl at the castle know what hes doing
Curious where this story will end up going
I wish he was more resentful but I suppose that’s just a reflection of myself and what I’d be like if I were in his position (plus I just like angst lmao)
The ED is in turn forcing them to emotionally connect since they can’t have sex
Honestly the best thing that could happen to either of them bc no matter how hard chain chani falls for him, there's no way he'd even consider the emotional part of their relationship without the ED lol
But I’m enjoying the amount of chaos she’s injecting into the story lol I can’t wait to see how these “satanic acts” are going to work out
The way I can sense this asshole’s sob story is about to start in the upcoming chapters for fxck’s sake I don’t carreeee
It’s over for him lmao comparing someone to cute animals? Yeah pack it up it’s a wrap
