I read this since I was 16 and now I’m 26. It’s been 10 fucking years! And zero progress in main (if I dare to name it) couple. And here is the thing that amazes me, second couple changed drastically, like it actually became almost a couple with physical mutual relationship, now they’re are gonna live together and also Mo shows how he feels from time to time. So it’s not Chinese censorship fault, it’s not queer baiting as core principle of entire story. It’s something I have no idea what. Like it’s definitely not slow burn cause it’s been 10 fucking years, there is no fire. Author/team refuses to make them a couple. I thought that way 5 years ago and nothing changed. Except I thought with time I’ll understand why, but nope. I thought maybe they wanna milk this stuff forever for profit , so they decided to stall progress to keep ending far away and keep readers involved. That’s what I thought 5 years ago. But no, second couple progressed naturally.
I'm the same, been reading it for 10 years and back in, I think either 2022 or 2023 it was at its peak story wise. Drama, progress but then suddenly.. Nothing. Chapters got shorter, Jian Yi and Xixi were almost completely cut off from the story, Mo and He Tian always go one step forward two steps backward and there's no updates.. I check Old Xians Weibo (Chinese Twitter) every so often and from what I see there, I feel like she's not interested in the comic/story anymore and as you said.. Kind of milks it for commercial reasons. Don't know if it's true but it feels that way.
Eww I wonder if this is how we gonna bring up SA that MC went through? In some sort of kinky half joking-half jealous monologue from ML. But honestly even if MC is not gonna bring it up, somehow it feels so fucking tone deaf thing to do, circumstances and what ML asking is insane combined. Not only cause we saw SA and know better, but cause ML knows Lister was like 5 minutes away from marrying Sylhan. Does he not thinking about things what might happened, asking questions like this?
P.S Never mind, I just read spoilers about SA dialogue in next chapter and guys
I cannot take this manhwa seriously anymore, it’s just a stupid fucking porn. Too bad I got attached to Sylhan and his struggles
P.P.S Ahaha guys I just read chapter 85 from temple scans and Gjord is atrocious. Like this bitch does not care about Sylhan trauma at all. THE WAY he talks. You need to see this shit. He kept on asking specifically! about Lister in such disgusting and victim blaming manner what Sylhan couldn’t bring himself to confess to the person who supposedly does everything for him(as some fans saying). So since Gjord is not gone get character development, we can forget about Sylhan ever sharing his pain, I think.
P.P.P.S But also Ishimon and Sylhan scene is more gentle and touching than everything we had from Gjord so far. At this point I’m team Ishimon and I need Gjord idk to die or whatever, so Ishimon can take his place or smth
