If You Devour Poison Chapter 28 Discussion

I have to say, I just read the first smut scene (which was great, don't get me wrong) but for the first time ever, the BL aspect was absolutely unnecessary! ‎・ࡇ・I love reading BL but honestly the romance thrown in for MC was very... sudden? unexpected?? I definitely did not see the ML coming (he came hard) from a mile away lol Lust really hits hard

I was actually expecting the dragon to transform into a bishounen and become lovers with the descendant of the sage who sealed him (aka MC) but I guess we'll settle with MC's late wife's former fiance aka the man who cucked him aka Jolga/Jorga ⚆ɞ⚆)

I don't know how to feel about this pair and the fact that they had sudden hot s*x in an old hunter's cabin on a stormy day, on an impulse after Jorga rescues MC from an assassination. They (cough Jorga cough) developed good feelings after they "cleared up the misunderstandings" but Jorga...

Jorga, are you okay?? why so thirsty??? How did you get bent by the rain????

Don't even get me started on the side pair that launched before the main pair! Author-sama!!! How!!!!?

Spoiler

Both father and son, Jorga and Lutora, got bent by our two scheming villains:MC and Head Priest Malacia lol

Lutora x Malacia: "his waist is thinner than expected", got baited by Malacia's pitiful act lol

Jorga x MC: "he took on all the bad rumors and villainous role to protect my heart", ????, suddenly in bed

The next pair I'm betting 1 potato chip on is Sigurd x Julieta who are now non-blood siblings sbdjfhd

I'm not the biggest fan of schemes and conspiracy themed novels (small brain capacity and only here for a good time kind of reads pls) but I think this is doing pretty well so far. I'd go as far as to say this could've been a predecessor of tr*sh of the Count's Family but it falls short by quite a margin. I'd love for this novel to just purely be a scheming father's road to redemption and protecting his child (ren).

Definitely enjoy this being a Male Protag POV novel and reading the schemes he launches unfold to perfection. It's an interesting read!
