So ik a lot of people think he is cold to MC, but there is indeed a reason for this. He has no choice. The previous empress didn't save him out of goodness of her heart, but in order to force Varkas into an oath that he will always do whatever her children ask of him. So he is doing his best while also hating the twins and their mother for putting him under this oath.
Can't say I was a fan of the novel. 'You changed suddenly, so now I also suddenly have feelings!' is an awful trope, but I particularly hate it because it usually brushes over the conflict of why they dislike MC so much. And I love a good conflict! One that isn't going to disappear just because MC changed, nor actions that are forgotten. I remember well being repulsed by the ogMC before possession because she was really nasty in her affections, but then the new one is in the body and CP suddenly doesn't mind everything awful she did to him? Now he misses it? This guy seems like a total masochist. On the other hand, letting her live after she broke into his house like multiple times? Why didn't he throw her in jail after the first time?
Man, stop giving me love triangles, the one I like never wins... Besides even tho Damon and MC are funny, I still don't like their romantic dynamic being like 'she has to help him cause she feels bad' or 'he's her responisbility.' That's a parent-child dynamic, not really sexy when it comes to romantic couples.
I understand the ML debacle rn, but if I see comments later treating the middle school character like a love interest I’m gonna lose it. Already saw it under the novel chapter and I was floored. Yes, his teammates thought he likes MC because they see him as an adult which is clearly a problem as shown in the story. The reason he likes MC is because she gives him attention that one would give to a CHILD. Something that hasn’t happened since he awakened! Is he annoying and wants attention whenever she’s near? Yes, kids are like that! Don’t fcking call it possessiveness or some shit, that just him being childish and jealous. Normal traits for kiddos!
Just because some harem/multiple choices manhwas have childish side male leads doesn’t mean it’s normal y’all. Making childishness romantic and a type is already… hard to pull off, but having a normal child be labeled as being that type of character?? Anyway none of you better even insinuate that he’s a love interest. I’m watching.











So in Korean it’s oppa, can be used for older male that isn’t related to you and yes, can be romantic. As for her getting adopted, it’s more because of her talent than anything. She’s treated well because of her talent, but that doesn’t mean she’s treated like family. Pretty sure everyone knows who her real family is (another high ranking family that focuses on magic, not sword)
