Spoiler warning
This review may discuss plot details.
9/10 First, about chapter 24, and that other review. *Spoiler* Shin comes out of the chambers of the pedophilic king and tells Wolfgang about it. At least it looks like it ad that chapter has no dialogue at all. Wolfgang then gives him a kissing mark. I think everyone was furious about the timing and whys they add romance at a moment like this. But it becomes clear that this was part of Shins plan to get thrown out of the chambers and lose his title as "a kings child". So please dont get discouraged by this as it was not meant to be a downplay oftrauma, bur rather an important part of the story. I still agree they couldve been less bold about it but its still not as bad as it seemed at first. Also the protagonists and the "younger than 15" child are around the same age. The other review made it sound like the main couple was pedophilic too.
Now the rest. The story is very interesting, and the romance between the protagonist is not really a focus of it since they're both children at the beginning. Its more of a political and emotional story than a "BL" story. The art is very nice, too
!! Theres some heavy scenes with child death and gore. Mentions and talk about pedophilia and scenes showing aspects of it (nothing graphic though). So please know this before reading as it may be hard on some people.
But generally it was nice, thrilling and intriguing. Im looking forward to the sequel and recommend reading it!
