Some readers are saying Argo's hot?? On what basis? To note, I started seeing these comments after him paraded his d.. Like what?! Yall simping for that?!!
Uncensored dick got them in heat as they ignore every horrendous thing he has done lol
I don't usually rant about this especially if it's just a few comments but I'm surprised over the fact that it's more than I thought. I had to question myself am I reading too much? Or has the taste of BL readers really changed. I know it's just a fiction but come on what else is/are his redeeming features and those people just talking about that thing nothing else?Σ( ￣□￣||)
I think the manhwa is lacking a lot in terms of narration. It feels like they skipped or condensed too many important parts, which unfortunately makes the ML come across as just a man who's obsessed with her.
In the novel, if I remember correctly, there was so much more context behind his feelings. After seeing her room, he became suspicious and even went out of his way to find and question someone from her household because he wanted to understand what had happened to her and how she was being treated.
And regarding the dress, I think it was "Stella" who was surprised that it was actually a gift for Ines rather than his fiancée. The way he described Ines' measurements was so incredibly detailed that one of his friend(?) even pointed out that it sounded like he was practically feeling her up lol
What makes it more meaningful in the novel is that he didn't even fully understand his own feelings at first. He mistook what he felt for Ines as simply the feelings he had for his dearest friend. Those little details are what made his attachment to her feel much more layered and believable. In the manhwa, with so much of that narration missing, it unfortunately comes across more like simple obsession of an alpha to her scent. This is an ABO, btw.
Also, I remember how he completely went berserk after finding out who Ines' marriage partner was. He was furious with his mother and even put his fiancée in her place. He made it clear that he never even considered her as his future wife—he only accepted the engagement because the emperor(?) had chosen her based on her noble house.
And I remember him basically saying that the only thing Ines lacked was nobility, but when it came to everything else, no one could compare to her.
That's another detail I feel the manhwa really needs. Without those internal thoughts and reactions, his feelings toward Ines can easily look like sudden obsession, when in the novel, you could actually see how deeply attached to her he already was and how much he had been denying or misunderstanding those feelings.
Can you send me the link for the novel
