*inhales* boi.  I can't tell you how disturbed I am.  Are the people reading this and enjoying it okay in the head? Sorry if that's too aggressive but that's my opinion here.  Child abuse (sexual insinuated, talked about, and threatened as well as physical abuse shown) manipulation, suicide, mind games, and worst of all?  All this cringe and it's not even entertaining.  The plot is bland and the characters are dumb.  I've read dark fantasy stuff and been like "wow that's terrible" but still got a morbid fascination out of it.  This? Nah its just cringe trying to come off as edgy but also somehow romantic?   Also the ML totally says something in early chapters- AS AN UNDERAGE CHILD mind you, to the FL along the lines of "don't look at any other guy's d***, mine is way better and you can look all you want when we're older" like.  Bruh.  You're like 10??   Slight spoilers below?  Not much but fair warning anyway.   I also want to know how a chunk of arm flesh can pass as a cut off tongue to convince someone you're mute... or how a small child can have such a clear full-back tattoo that is perfectly good identification and never warps as he ages, pretty sure this isn't a magic manhua... actually there are a lot of things that want you to shut your eyes completely rather than just suspend a small bit of disbelief. So yeah.

starting premises were promising with rlly cute art!! only thing i kinda dislike is when ML and FL grew up, ML's personality was honestly abit unexpected, hes super flirty and open abt his love to FL which iss NICE but i honestly expected a cold persona frm him and FL melting him ugh its also kinda funny fl grew up to be unromantic (literally the opposite of what i tght wld happen lol)  it went super weird when FL started gaining fantasy powers and becoming OP..  from a cute manhua to some cold FL historical plot conspiracy with ml emperor chasing her wtf.. sounds interesting but its rlly not first half of the story when they were still kids was more interesting ngl. when they grew up it was kinda boring and i wanted to drop but holding on since it WAS gd. but plot js seemed to derail.. its a waste of time dont bother
