eugene has the personality of a 2nd ML so i’m not mad she ended up with the emperor who seemed more interesting but i feel like the romance hasn’t been developed enough?
i was intrigued by the setup but didn’t expect the ML to be a child when they meet and only became an adult after the 12 years they were away from each other, i’m afraid this isn’t for me…
Honestly, age gaps that exceed 5 years (or maybe 2 years) aren't for everyone and that's okay. You aren't a bad person for expressing in a comment that their very noticeable age difference isn't your cup of tea.
what is even their age difference I forgot
It is a 13 year age gap. Shuraka is 9 and Tei is 22 when they first meet, but after Tei leaves for Leracal, Shuraka closes the doors of Arnata for 15 years thus preventing Tei from seeing him again until Shuraka is 24 and Tei is 37.
dohwan lowkey pissing me off with the way he’s playing with yoonsang’s feelings…
absolutely loved this story but am i the only one shocked when it was revealed that the top was older? whole time i thought it was a younger top older bottom story
whew his dad is so fine my head was spinning for a second
i didn’t know how they’d make it back together seeing how messy things were at the start of the season but i don’t think nanjo could deny how deep mok’s feelings are for him when he cries so honestly and has visible lost so much weight since they last spoke. it’s gonna take them a lot more to properly date and enter an official relationship but this is definitely a start
tried to hold on for as long as i could but im dropping this. where’s the fun in a story where the protagonist has no agency and is just being pushed around by the ML and the antagonists? there’s no climax or pay off, i honestly couldn’t care less about the backstory build up. it just feels like misery porn for the sake of it. having read spoilers, it’s a bit silly that such a miserable story ends in a happily ever after… haven’t personally read how it goes down in the novel but the spoilers bullet points just tells me that this sort of ending hasn’t been earned. the mc is just a toy who gets battered and bruised consistently and i’m bored of it
i’m just reading this again after letting it marinate for years and i don’t understand why the bottom betrayed the top??? he quite literally gained nothing from that whole ordeal, am i supposed to believe that someone as smart as the mc would rely on a psychopath who taxidermies living things over the ML who isn’t great but still obviously better than his cousin? just feels like misery porn for the sake of it
sorry but eugene’s personality traits are just seeking revenge (and obviously that amounted to nothing) and being in love with the MC, he’s too boring to be the ML so i’m glad it ended up this way. the romance between the MC and the emperor just needs to be more developed, they haven’t even kissed…
