“You must do this you must do that” dude even in my manhwa they find a way to torture me with roles shit. Just do it because you love each other not because you have to. It makes the humans feel like sex machines or something instead of a partner (/TДT)/
Your observations are quite valid and I understand your concern, especially regarding bodily autonomy. However, these are established marital customs of the North, not rules Ian personally invented. Northern society has its own expectations surrounding marriage, fidelity, and intimacy, and Ain/Ian genuinely observes these customs himself while also teaching Michele about them. For instance, one of the major concerns underlying some of their marital conventions is the birth of illegitimate children, who are regarded as “sins” that shouldn't exist.
Unfortunately, in the North, that's an absolute NO-NO. But you'll see their intimate dynamic change considerably as their relationship heals and develops. Their intimacy becomes increasingly driven by genuine love, desire, and passion rather than simply being governed by marital customs and obligations. Their wedding night was a whole steamy arc (▰˘◡˘▰)
I think it's important in the way that it reflects how Ain is thinking. Like he is clearly so caught up in trying to fit in with northeners that he's very particular about upholding their roles and customs. Which btw, might not even be as strict as Ain implied. I don't see why Michelle should believe in this strict anti-masturbation tradition when Ain lied so easily about his identity. To me it seems more likely that it's a mix of Ain, as I said, being obsessed when it comes to his reputation as a northern lord + something like jealousy (as in he doesn't like the idea that Michelle might be getting off to someone else), or further seeking control over him.
Rant ig. Jun needs a backbone. Junwoo and taesans dynamic is interesting, like bakudeku. Cultists are horrible. Everyone in this story needs a nap. I also hate junwoo for being sexist. I do not like Yohan. Wow, the only person I like here is Taesan lol. Still have to keep reading to see Jun get a backbone ( ̄へ ̄)
I don’t like that the gray hair guy is trying to force the vampire guy to get a gf. Like, you do not need to get a gf to see whether or not you are really gay, and that just seems homophobic. Not to mention it would mean technically playing with the girls feelings too. He could have asked him to do many other things that I am sure he would refuse to do ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
i wouldnt say its to check if "hes really gay", but rather, to let him experience enough life so that he can make a fully concious decision whether he actually harbors feelings toward changdeok or was it just pure admiration/catching feelings for his "saviour”
i dont think chandeok is overall opposed to gays, you can see that he has no problem doing more intimate stuff with jeongwu, i think his problem lays in the fact that he cant accept that someone would actually have genuine feelings towards HIM, not cuz hes a man, cuz hes changdeok- an average, nothing-special guy
The ml needs to have some serious character development in order for there to be any sort of acceptance for him as the ml because he literally said he gagged because he felt gross to kiss the mc. He sees humans as dogs, and of course he kills people like animals. DO NOT LET ME CATCH YOU GUTRASH ヽ(`Д´)ノ
I have some updates from the author that I heard about for all of those worried about the continuation of this story. (Please keep in mind that I found this info online) First, the creator is allegedly in production of season 4, but they were delayed because of their own health issues. They are not going to drop it to start something else, do not worry!










I saw online that in the novel Michelle dies and it is a sad ending. Is this true for this adaptation? I hate sad endings and I am lowk worried now ( ̄へ ̄). This is such a good manhwa I do not want to stop reading it but I would be too heartbroken if he died :(
But when I searched it again it said that that is not the case and apparently it is happy so now I am confused and have hope.
SPOILERS
don't worry he doesn't die
That's a lie. Neither Michele nor Ian dies. I can share a link of the completed translated main story if your interested (I don't want to give you unwarranted spoilers).
Thank you so much!! That is reassuring. I would love the link(⌒▽⌒)
