I wish people would stop accusing the people who want Harsen and Ercella to divorce of being immature and that we don't take marriage seriously. Just because we have different opinions doesn't mean that you have to resort to personal attacks. 😬😬😬😬 I take marriage very, very seriously. But as a...

@nyxied my guess is that they're going to explain his past behavior — he's absolutely a neglectful parent because of ✨reasons✨, but I think the story goes is that he's adored his daughter the whole time except bc ✨reasons✨ he'd never been able to show it in a way that Juvelian has understood. I...

@anideki wordexcerpt has the license but a subpar translation (you have to start buying chapters by the 11th up to the 37th), though it gives more depth to the chapters of the webtoon. You can also track down the old translation from an aggregate site up to ch 37(bc the other translation you can...

I started reading the novel because I couldn't handle waiting for the next episode 😅

@end1essabyss So because it's common, we can't be upset and frustrated over untagged rape and assault? "plenty of lovely and sweet R-rated scenes. We will give you a lovely romance with high sugar content!" is what it says on the synopsis — it does not imply "but actually she wants it" rape. And...

The ML looks so ugly 😖😖😖😖

Y'all, her mom was a rapist — that's where the Marquis' trauma stems. THAT BEING SAID, he's an emotionally abusive and overall neglectful parent, so. He's still a horrible father. He's not obligated to love her or anything, but he's never given her the bare basics of care and respect that should...

@Akera93 In Hades' perspective: She just realized that the "lifesaving" medicine she's taken all her life because of her father and the temple has prevented her from accessing any mana — leaving her uniquely vulnerable in a way that NO KNOWN PERSON is — and for that reason they're preventing her...

@claraemi Aisha is aware that her stanning is a coping mechanism (a shitty childhood is at the root of it, but I forgot the details). Likewise, I think she's transitioning out of it? It's been a minute since she brought it up. ETA: It's CH13 where she talks about what got her to start stanning

Honestly, they've established that she's long-lived enough that time doesn't feel as long as it does for the average person. That doesn't make it any less weird, but I'm comforting myself with that until I can either convince myself to keep going or drop it once the romance hits. I've dropped...

I am disappointed in the lack of explicit confirmation of sapphic relationships/feelings in an anthology that's definitely supposed to be sapphic (in 2020/2021)— first one is very old school pg13 yuri of the 70s vibes🌸, then the second has uhhhhh a friendly hug to confirm their relationship 🥴...

@Aurantix People in the comments (generally, not just these ones) are largely shit about empathy and make me go 😬😬😬 at how bloodthirsty they can get. I'm thinking it's a combination of how the story is evolving, making it easier for more sympathetic commenters to leave comments (whether their...

@soowot Ercella is actually very clear about why she was so distant from Vicente after his birth (she says it in the chapter before all of the flashbacks). It's because she was feeling so terrible and felt that she couldn't feel that way about other people/things in her life (like Harsen and his...

@kawaiigoblin I'm just glad that we're gonna get some nice smut without any bullshit infidelity subplot ☺️

Oh I'm so glad there's no pixelated panels in this chapter! I was wondering if I was gonna have to drop it 😅
