The story was okay, I liked a lot and there were some things I didn’t. Overall a nice read. The look of the ML falling/being in love is what kept me reading this, I really like how he was drawn and how soft he looked. I felt the characters were realistic in a way I could empathise so good on the author for that.
Mc has some self-esteem though there are times when it takes a back seat due to trauma and his love for ML. I liked how the author showed the repercussions of the confinement/torture Mc went through while not dragging out the actual torture for 60 plus chapters. Thats a point of contention for me in other stories with similar triggers, it’s rarely shown how it affects Mc or the ML for that matter. I didn’t enjoy the dark chapter’s no surprise there, but I appreciate how they were done. Not totally mindless smut in my opinion. I loved the first 29 chapters and the time period they were set in, I want to find more with this time period minus the rape.
ML ‘woke up’ at 20 and lived at least 13 years without the Mc he loved. In that time he reflected over what he’d done wrong and then protected the Mc of that world. It’s not a bad punishment for a ML like this, no where near the level of violence the Mc suffered but I’ll take it. Let’s be honest if MLs had to go through what bottoms survived they’d kill themselves.
I could pick at a few things, like how ML lost control the first time they had sex in this new life or how the Mc of the new world before he ‘woke up’ was being coddled through life by both his mother and ML. One gave us a chance to see that the trauma had followed Mc to this life and Im not against being a little dramatic. ML did stop and apologise so thats something. And then the coddling probably has more to do with his mother being over protective and giving ML the excuse to be that way too.
Mom also hasn't the first idea of what her son is going through or the mental scars he's living with so Im not mad at her but moreso disappointed in the ever growing number of parents in BL who unknowingly love and respect MLs that have raped there kid. I don’t enjoy author's doing that, Id rather the parents just be trash if thats the case. In there past life when Mcs aunt went off on ML and even stabbed him I was honestly shocked, a BL Mc having an actual support system that isnt another man wanting some ass??? Shocker.
ML being a badass at the showdown with those losers in the end was awesome! I felt giddy when he started talking shit and then tossed that guy out the window. Perfect!
The reflection in the last chapters was interesting, that and how the Mc and ML are essentially tied together which forces Mc to suffer consequences for pushing ML away I didn't care for that. Mc saying he thinks ML suffered more than him hmmm I think swallowing nails would have been easier to swallow than that line.
My finally thoughts…GIVE MC HIS LONG HAIR BACK!!!!!
“If only I hadn't oppressed him and essentially made him a prisoner.” Har har har If only I hadn't almost, sorta kinda, basically locked him in a room, fed him drugs, got shocked he ended up addicted to said drugs, assaulted him daily for hours on end— MLs are so funny!
…I have a strong and irrational dislike for Yeil (mcs sorta friend in the beginning, name might be spelled wrong). I don’t have an actual reason, I didn’t like the red haired guy either but I have a reason for that and I kinda hate Yeil. And out of all the characters hes the good one?? I dont know whats wrong with me.
No ur right he’s..weird…idk why either did you see the part where he said “did you have a hand in my kidnapping ” and he didn’t even reply nor did his explanation change more of a “oh did he catch on” look and on top of that he’s kind a shit friend mean so is the Mc bottom but like he got his shit straighten out with a punishment that was horrible and he was raised that way to grow up that way yk but I hate the bad guys who don’t own up to their mistakes and just act all innocently at least bottom mc doesn’t hide his shit personally ppl like that are far more dangerous bc u don’t know what your getting
Yes! It was so off that he didn't answer but I don't think he actually knew anything at the time i just don’t think he cared after he found out. Theres something detached about him and yeah like you said mc was a dick in the beginning so i don't expect a ton of sympathy from other characters but this one genuinely has me like unsettled. If there is a side story with the second pairing I wouldnt be surprised if he was just as fucked up in the head as his boyfriend. Also thank you! You validated my feelings so so much, really thought i was losing it.
No ur not there’s just sum creepy abt how he acts like the good guy without making us feel all “oh he’s a good guy” like he just also took his bfs word abt not letting the Mc see eachother when it’s clear that his bc is shitty and the only way he even allowed them is fucking “just don’t make a big deal abt how my bf fucked u up” also he has all of his bfs file on what happened and abt all the other kids too…and he’s still defending him to the end
Had to check the comments concerning the maid. Shes driving me nuts.
I get being friendly with one another but your lady is in a foreign country as a spoil of war. Shes a glorified hostage and your playing games with customs you don't understand??? Isnt her job to learn the proper etiquette? Only to dress her into something so revealing, a dress that would no doubt have people back in salle talking shit, but when she tells you its too much you tell her theres not other option?? Wrap her in a curtain if you have too!
This maids head must be dented (╬ ̄皿 ̄)凸
The aphrodisiac part made me cry, its so bullshit mc had to go through that and ml has to feel like some beast of his leash because of the maid.
Obvi manwhas like these arent exactly known for their realistic depictions of time period accurate political relationships and exchanges but (where Im currently at) Mc should at least reprimand her behaviour if not for the sake of her relationship with ml than for the maid’s survival.
Felt so good seeing a comment that she is legitimately shady. The main pair are, as of right now, really satisfying imo despite the lack of communication. I like that he doesn't just assume the worse and even when he does he doesn't treat her cruelly. I hope everyone who stands in there way dies quickly and painfully. (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ









Took me out of the moment in the end there when it showed their booties out. One has cum leaking out his ass and the other is rubbing his sweaty balls on the mattress, does no one else find that incredibly distracting?
I had to go back and look ??? Do you mean chapter 86 when they were in the hospital ??
