Why do I feel like so much is happening and also NOTHING at all. Also the sex is ugly and I’m just losing interest. Something big HAS to happen soon
Ugh, I feel the exact same way. Every six months or so I’ll leave this to marinate thinking that surely some significant development will have happened in that time, but every time I come back it’s nothing but empty calories, one time I came back to read the most recent chapters and it was just nothing but sex chapters. Where is the damn plot??? How are there so many chapters with nothing happening???
I also feel like the characters barely make sense to me anymore. Rishar went from being sexy to whiny. The queen went from seemingly smart to dumb (maybe she was always dumb though, why set yourself up for failure by trying to hide etienne as an omega?). We still have no idea who is trying to be the next emperor. The sexual chemistry is in the pits. Not much of it is mathing for me anymore, which is a bummer because the beginning had so much promise.
I’m not gonna lie them making him 19 instead of 18 is like a huge difference somehow???? Like most of these stories are like “he’s just turned 18” and it feels like of icky but for some reason this one being specifically 19 feels a little better? It’s not GREAT I’m not saying it’s what I want I want him to be a fucking adult but like…does anyone get what I’m saying










Okay the amnesia thing lowkey sucks but at the same time Bada explained that it’s part of the horror trope. Waking up from a nightmare, or losing memories. Those are normal things. I think I’ll also really enjoy the concept of Doha being concerned over Bada’s PTSD from the game, or even a potential “memories through dreams” trope where he realizes some of his memories align with Bada’s nightmares or triggers.
Overall, imo, 10/10. The story the characters the actual DREAD I felt when I realized Bada was the sacrifice (which was like halfway through the story unfortunately, so then I suffered EXTRA long because I didn’t know how it would end) the fear that BOTH of them would lose their memories. God. This was really good.
