약탈혼 1 [Yagtalhon 1]

Predatory Marriage #1

by Saha, Hingdong (Illustrator), 사하

결혼식을 앞두고 유서를 작성했다.
첫날밤을 치른 후 죽어버릴 것이기 때문이었다.

평생 나라를 위해, 그리고 왕실을 위해 헌신한 왕녀의 비참한 최후였다.
목숨을 내버리기 전에, 레아는 왕실을 향한 마지막 복수를 계획했다.
순결하지 못한 새신부가 되는 것이었다.

“왜 첫 경험을 내다버렸지? 도망치고 싶진 않나?”
“나는…… 죽고 싶어.”

하룻밤 상대이기에 충동적으로 털어놓은 말이었다.
그렇게 끝날 인연이라고 생각했다.
전혀 생각지도 못한 곳에서 다시 만나기 전까지는.

그는 질서정연하던 일상을 침식해나갔다.
위험한 관계임을 알면서도, 레아는 그를 거부할 수 없었다.
도대체 저 남자는 무슨 생각을 하고 있는 것일까.

“기억 안 나?”

남자는 사납게 웃으며 말했다.

“내가 네 인생 망쳐주겠다고 했잖아.”

So... first and foremost I'm not the intended audience (duh) we have a titled romance-webcomic that's got strong "consensual non-consensual undertones" with the protagonist princess being told her body belongs to the kingdom. Only! 'plot twist' (might as well be written in fire-works across the sky) generic male love interest (newly renamed "abu-mcmuscly" in my headspace), an ambigously ethnic minority ( he's just ambiguously brown, middle-eastern, "more animal than than that of human" and "natural prowess" but we gave him golden eyes, it's not a fetish if we MAKE the race you guys we swear... ) who appears as a red flag but once you KNOW THE TRUTH(tm) he’s a green flag due to lots of gratuitous time spent on the pasty-white ingenue love-interest.

2/5... bruh.
Excellent line-work and shading.
Shoot the writer please.

☂ situational recommendation

Definitely not for the weak heart lol. This story has a wide net of potential triggers. And quite honestly, I went in really just expecting it to be purely smut driven. I'm pretty surprised to find out that it actually has a pretty dense plot line. However it's a very mature read with lots of included smut. Personally I'd rank it at a grapefruit on the citrus scale.

Even though there are frustrating scenes of the FMC, I found that the explanation by the end of season 1 to satisfy the reasoning as to why she did all of those frustrating things. And all things considering... our MMC is a green flag flags in manhwas that I've read as of late but aggressive. And he'd kill for his girl but that's my type of man 🥰🩷

I will warn that there is heavy depiction of colorism, and what I would consider propaganda that spread through the story's universe. I can't 100% say what the author's intention towards that aspect is but as the story progress, we get to see how advanced the Kurkan's civilization is & feels to me as the author trying to depict racism & handling it. BUT I will say I am only ~ 70 episode into the manhwa, and am working on reading the LN.

This was actually good. It's ongoing series tho. But looking forward to reading the next chapters. It's topic is a bit about racism, or well, not a bit. Surprisingly, and please don't shoot me, I don't have a problem with that. I mean, it's bad to be a racist, but I can ignore it for now lol.

Also, Ishakan is so tender but savage in bed. lol. My eyes are also blessed with the uncensored chapters. LMAO. Waiting for chapter 26 to release on Sunday!

Not exactly sure how many chapters this is but will update when I finish with the final book. I... like it? The story is definitely over the top with the racism (the dark skinned people from the desert take women in predatory marriages by raping them? ok buddy), so if you can overlook that the romance is actually great! I enjoy slowly finding out the FL's turmoil and why ML is interested in her in the first place.

Every so often girls form an irrational bond with a mediocre book/novel. It usually happens once every decade of their lives. I'm happy to say that I found mine.
People wonder how is it possible for this to be ranking so high on top reads. I don't have an answer either

*sigh* don't you just love it when your man calls you his sl*t who pays you for s*x 'with pride' when he actually treats you like his s*x slave?💀 also, spineless fmc's are not my thing.

(p.s. WHY DID I NOT KNOW THERE WAS GONNA BE SUCH FREAKY SMUT SCENES IN THIS HELP I WAS TRAUMATISED I DIDN'T READ A SINGLE ONE IT WAS TOO SCARRING-)

Really i love it

[Miztli R. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Predatory Marriage es una novela muy muy buena, las escenas explícitas son increíbles y a veces se siente como si estuviera leyendo un fanfic de lo bizarras que llegan a ser lol. Amo a los dos personajes principales y su historia de amor, la verdad el concepto con el que empiezan esta novela me parece muy original y llamativo; pude leer esta novela súper rápido a pesar de que tengo problemas de atención.
*SPOILERS
Las únicas dos cosas malas que le veo es que hay partes en donde la novela se hace un poco tediosa y lenta por todo el diálogo y desarrollo político dentro de la historia; mi única queja real y lo que de verdad no me gusto para nada es el incesto que hay, técnicamente Leah y su hermano no están relacionados biológicamente, pero se tardan mucho en revelar ese hecho, además de que Leah, Ishakan y la mayoría de los personajes no sabían que no eran hermanos biológicos hasta por el final de la historia. Siento que esto es una fracción muy muy pequeña de la historia de la novela ya que para mí aún se merece 5 estrellas.
