I ou haven’t read the novel yet but know that it runs for 170-is chapters
In the the manwha we are barely 60 chapters in so there’s still a long way to go and lots of back history to uncover so we should be patient if we want to consume the story in this format.
I find the pacing great actually because we get so many details in the inner thoughts and interpersonal relationships other than the one between MC and ML which is refreshing. This universe seems rich and worth exploring in detail while leaving it up to the main characters to grow their bond. I think there’s lots for us to look forward to here…
I think it's quite interesting, it's not very often you get an omegaverse without rape/sex being the main focus. There's a lot more to it and I like the fact that it's not rushing them to be together.
Well... I wouldn't be so sure about the rape thing. Some scenes in the novel are definitely in the dubcon territory (not to mention that the ml pretty much blackmails the mc to sleep with him). But either way, the choice for Bl Mahnwas shouldn't be rapefest or snoozefest. There are ways to tell an interesting romance with a healthy, consensual rs.
I haven't read it to be honest, so you are saying the whole novel there is never any tension or chemistry between them?
I have read the novel too and I don't think so. As for chemistry, there's plenty. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you continue reading. I personally didn't feel like there was something wrong with how their sex scenes generally went, but that could easily change depending on the reader of course.
Idk why people are arguing so much in the comments like two things can't be true at once. This is a beautifully drawn story with an interesting premise, BUT the pacing is bad. Basically, no progress happens for 2 seasons, and there is very little tension or chemistry between the two characters.
It would be fine if there were other side plots to keep this interesting while we wait: maybe a deep dive into the two characters and their tragic backstories, or a thrilling crime mystery happening in the world or swimming or something. But there is literally NOTHING else to this story besides the romance.
The idea that readers shouldn't be allowed to criticize a manhwa AT ALL or else they are entitled is crazy! You can enjoy something while still thinking that some aspects of it could be better. (⊙…⊙ )
