The development here is subtul, that's why it wasn't obvious for certains to see it. Knowing the personality of Seungho and his lust for sex, the guy needed to get his dose of daily sekse and went to an orgy party (or brothel?), surely also to keep a bit of distance with what happened with Nakyum and clarify his mind, but he rapidly left the orgy.
Did he have sex with one or few of the fuckboys? It's hard to tell he wasn't cause his dick is out, but then contrary to his usual self he's not active at all, he's not hard. He seemed lost in his thoughts, bored, and when the dudes spoke about how pretty is his painter, Seungho got annoyed and left.
He is slowly changing though he's not aware about it himself.
This transition was not obvious but fits Seunghoe's character and the plot. To put simply, a sudden change of personality or interest for such extrem character as the Lord's after this episode would look not credible (and even bad writing), and this, Author-Nim knows it well. It will surely be like this for few more coming chapters before Yoon become aware that his attention and possessiveveness towards Nak is more than of a master-servant, and maybe few more to full y accept it... We'll need to be patient...
I was super disappointed too by this chapter, but discussing with other nice readers really help to understand better the plot.
Nakyum is doing concessions and compromissions but his character development is still lagging behind (the Lord's). He's too passive and I hope he'll rebel against this situation or be confronted to an event enough big that'll make him grow as character.
I went back and read from the first chapter and it is very subtle but it's great that way.
Exactly! The change is very subtle and I really like it. A lot of sames go through 'shock therapy' change, very sudden, but this guy is gradually changing so much that it's almost hard to notice a difference. Yet when we go to chap no.1 and latest one, we can see that it DID happen. I'm in a love-hate relationship with these slow burns, I wish the author could drop a novel. I would read it asap XD
I was also wondering if he participated. He did stood up on Jiwha (??) when he couldn't get it up, so the probability is that he did engage. But it's so opposite of his libido with NK. He literally fucked him all day and night, and with these dudes I'm guessing it didn't go for long.
I hope what happens in chap33 will be another lesson for the Lord. He did take notes to finger him from the last time, he should take notes again.
I wonder if he will be the one to open NK's eyes to Inhun's bs. I really want to know what the author will do with him and if Jiwha will reappear with some sort of revenge.
Hmmm I interpreted the scenes in 32 chapter a lot differently before they were translated. I should write down the korean 'no' for the next batches of raws. It's interesting how original and translated are just a chapter away right now.
Why does everyone say there's no development? The Lord went from orgies, to throwing out said participants to just Na-kyum. He also needed quite some effort to get it up. [SPOILER] he also seems very uninterested in the orgy he was having in chap33, only thinking on NK. Also the dilemma NK has over painting, going throw some shite full of emotional stuff and than having the brains try and run. Inhun is same old same old tho, being a greedy manipulative shit. What I'm saying is that the beginning of the toon and latest chapters are not the same at all....
And sure this is a fucked up story, but it's so mild compared to yaoi I've read. Maybe it's the realistic and coloured art that gives up such a vibe. Dare I say, Seungho is much kinder than a lot of sames that I've seen in such works. One of the times PoN really surprised me was when he stopped raping Na-kyum when he realised he wasn't hard. And kudos to the author since ukes seem to always get hard when somebody is raping them. This story is very linear, it's straightforward. Not all such works are bad, same as how not all complex stories are good (sometimes they are just a mess).
