I think this is one of the most distressing you I have read in a loooong while. The MC is so kind, he raised the "ML", took care of him, and all he gets in return is this sorry excuse of a human being that can't respect any of his wishes that involves the "ML" to give up something...
And you may argue there were other yaoi like that, but I hate this one more, cause there is no love or desire in the MC heart for the "ML", he is disgusted of himself and utterly broken. In Killing Stalking at least it was two bad individuals, a stalker and a killer and there relationship was just rotten from the start. However in this one, the MC is super kind, has a family, RAISED the "ml" when no one wanted to.
Hmmm I feel like u missed some of the nuance tho.... Hyungnim kinda groomed chang geong to only depend on him as a child like he literally said he needed to be his one and only. Hyungnim is only now dealing with the consequences of making chang geong dependant on him and then abandoning him. Ofc change geon is horrible tho but its not like hyungnim did 0% wrong
I've been reading this, but somewhere I completely lost track of the plot... What are the goals in this story?... Is it just shuri finding out she is loved and mending her relationship with the members of the family, or is there something else?
Yeah, I think the main theme of this story is found family but the other side of the story is probably related to political conspiracies (and Cardinal Richelieu)
Yea that is part of it, it's also about shuri fulfilling her promise and giving the title of head of house to Jeremy when he's of age, also there's also kinda taking down of the church since they are kinda evil and are behind the shit going on
