Good freaking lordt!! I just wrote a full-on review and Goodreads gobbled that shit up. UGH!
Take two...
Content Warnings: Sexual Abuse, Rape, Violence, Child Abuse, thoughts of abortion, making someone feel guilty for thinking about abortion, slurs of all kinds, secret adoptions and secret children.... there are more, I'm sure. Caution is advised.
I often wish folks would put more thought/effort into the synopsis entered in Goodreads. This story is much more than sex magic and needing sex to get rid of curses.
Leopold, the Knight, while blocking a curse with his sword is thrust into 600 years in the future, where said curse contained sword slices into Taehoon's chest, thus transferring the curse onto him.
The author put much thought into the character building and world building. The execution was often a little clunky, but I think it was due to wanting to maintain intrigue and mystery coupled with it being a web toon. This story explores thoughts and feelings between two men who find each other attractive even though they've never felt attraction for another man in their life. It also explores the concept of god giving certain individuals gifts but have to live in fear of being caught using these gifts because others will execute them for it. This story explores the concept of faith and morality. The individuals in this story that are seen godly and respected because of their station are the most immoral and evil while those seen as evil have been judged wrongly. The character most loved and moral of the story is an atheist. Concepts such as “the child” doing as the “parent” says is explored and how perhaps room should be given to “the child” to speak up when the “parent” is wrong. Also, about the punishments that are handed out when “the child” goes against the decision of the “parent” especially when the “parent” was in the wrong. This story also explores concepts such as fate and destiny. In the end we explore how far we've come but how much we remain the same in terms of judgement and values and how often we get it all wrong.
