The art is gorgeous and the premise sounded good to me but then they threw any development they couldve had as character or as a couple out the window and now its just full of him raping her. Yes, raping. She wants none of this and half the time is confused as to whats happening cause she was taken when she was 7 and no one taught her anything. If he took the time to allow her to go to him herself or even take the big red flag of how she presents herself to him and backed off it would be fine, but he doesnt. He acknowledges that its terrible how she seems to be trained for the previous sultan, but just rapes her while she cries and wishes for torture or even death instead. What a beautiful relationship am I right? I can’t even enjoy it as smut cause she looks so miserable all the time. I just want her to escape, but then he said he would go on a murdering spree if she left so there goes that idea. I have no clue how they could build up from this, this is literally the worst. Her feeling any kind of arousal during the fact is NOT her enjoying it and she says as much that she doesn't want to and tells him to stop. Now I’m pretty used to manga having the fl saying no during sex cause that's apparently hot to them, but this was different. She was scared, clueless, and actively rejecting him, even trying to run away during the sex and he just tells her to stop running and to be more submissive when shes basically a heartbroken lamb already. She literally acts like a doll most of the time and he seems perfectly ok with this SOMEONE HELP THIS POOR GIRL. People can have their own fetishes, but they need to stop painting him as kind whenever he takes two seconds to not rape her and shows her basic human decency, but still doesn't bother to listen to her.
