As long as the side stories don’t do a “Cherry Blossoms After Winter” I say keep them coming forever!
It went from a generally cute fluffy shounen ai/yaoi with some drama, ended with marriage. Then the side stories hit and it turned into a shitshow. The bottom dissapeared for no reason. Amnesia but not really. Blackmail and threats. And also the top forces himself on the bottom when he finds him again WHICH HE WAS ALWAYS A GREEN FLAG SO WHY. The top regrets it immediately afterwards but still. Dropped it immediately after that
Currently reading but why don’t they just TELL HER that she’s cursed and what the curse is??? She knows the mother is a Sovari and that they use magic?? Or do they think telling her would trigger another curse??
Either way I’m pleasantly surprised that he hasn’t kidnapped her yet. With most het-slop-smut, it would have happened in the first 15 chapters.
He doesn’t kidnap her at all. Like it’s called predatory marriage but it’s all consensual, only people who don’t like it are the ones who wanted to marry off the other person to someone else.
They can’t tell her because it could tear her apart mentally and turn her into a vegetable, especially after she goes back. She must realize it herself and find her way out of the spell, although they can help somewhat in other ways like using anti-sorcery substances and chip away gently at the spell(s).
Imagine being Katya. You spend your whole life training and working for a position that should have been yours. Then because your father was a whore your half brother pops out of nowhere, and because he’s a MAN he takes that spot from you, even though you’re just as competent.
I’d be wanting some revenge too.

If someone says “I’ll only help you if you agree to have sex with me,” that’s coercion which is rape!!! It’s fine in a story but in reality this is coercion!! Recognize it so a variation of this doesn’t happen to you in real life.
The snake has knowledge of something she’s already ‘willingly’ traded her body for. And when she gave consent at the end because she wanted to cum…. That’s very gray area considering it seems how she doesn’t seem to be in her right mind at the end. At the very least, the beginning is not actual consent.
A close approximation to a real life scenario is if your boss withholds a promotion or bonus money you need to make rent this month until you agree to have ‘consensual’ sex with them. That is called “ quid pro quo” which is illegal— and also coercion. Which is rape.
(Don’t get me wrong I’m enjoying this like the next person but let’s not mistake coercion for consent)
Fr, very sexy, still very much coercion
