love spoon, they’re fantastic, just wanna add sum stuff that might not be as clear in the manhwa:
1. thalia tries her best to never cry in front of varkas. he gets pretty torn up when she finally sobs so it didn’t feel like an important scene unfortunately...
2. the incense, while it has a calming effect, it basically dulls your senses, that’s how she can scrape by despite being in so much pain. the problem is that it’s a strong incense, and she’s inhaling a lot of it, all the time. anyway, she can barely get through inhaling it for 10 minutes max before she gets sleepy. the novel was emphasizing that varkas was staying by her side for hours, inhaling that same incense with her. that’s why she remarks that if he was there with her the whole time, he wouldn’t be able to stand there. that’s also why he looks drowsy and just done with talking to ayla. these are some of the moments where she feels torn between hating varkas and loving him, because despite his coldness, he will turn around and genuinely look after and care for her. just putting it out there for further analysis
stop omg my babies im gonna cry
i see so this is where he got inspiration for the sweet sixty princess
it’s lowkey not consent, especially if he had to strike a deal with her to get sex out of it, just putting it out there. idgaf about ethics or morals when i read my shitty pornhwa but at least know what you’re reading, he did not ask for consent, it was coercion via a deal.
That's a fair and good point. I have been saying "attempted" but you are right so gonna stop lol
my poor girl gets addicted to the incense that dulls the pain but it’s very bad for her health to inhale it for long periods of time. it’s pretty realistic as she’s now chronically ill. she just has nothing but hardship ahead of her… seriously unfair asf.
what chapter is this in the novel?
i think i started reading the novel around 30~34
oh ok copy.
thank you.
Can you please tell me where are you reading the novel?
i can’t lie, i love the empress as a character. yes she’s batshit, yes she’s a terrible person. she was so ambitious and incredibly greedy, and she had the presence and intimidation factor down. she was so stubborn until the end, cursing everyone and wondering why the heavens weren’t on her side at least once. then cut to tia, and lavini finally realizes she’s behind everything. absolute cinema
there is the option to not click and engage with this work of fiction at all if you don’t like this type of content… 50 of these show in the top featured manhwas like every week.
right?? and if you call them out, they'll spout the word "normalizing" like girl ts has been on for decades already, if you don't like it then shoo we don't push negativity here. just read ur goddamn fave genre stories.
they’re both so pretty i love this so much
hey man at least one more chapter… please….
just gotta say thank god the officials are still being uploaded #yesimbeingshady
