    how are raga fans crazy while passion fans are not#-.-) passion is the blueprint for bl, but it's not that healthy. maybe in much later chapters, but the mood over there is so heavy. constant chase scenes, kidnapping, and fighting (over) tay... idk the plot gets interesting but i gen couldnt sit there and see tay suffering.

    raga takes it slow and shows the development of xinlu, both on and off screen. by focusing on the relationship between the two characters, this feels a lot more like a, dare i say, "human" romance compared to passion.

    fans that like raga would obviously compare it to the main story, and the disparity is shocking. sometimes i wonder how the same person wrote both of these.

    if you like passion and are not looking for something less dogblood-y, please keep away.

    not sure why some RAGA fans love to act as though it's better than the main story for being "less dark." i understand why the virtue signaling would turn you off, but please give the novel a shot! it's better than passion imo. and i really wanted to like passion considering how toxic iltae was and how much ilay as a whole appealed to me, but i somehow ended up liking xinluyuri more. i think yuuji wrote them with a more empirical pen, having gotten a lot more sleep hahaha. the tone and pacing are way more appealing and put-together than what i came to expect from the mother novel. i'd be inclined to call passion: RAGA a more character-driven story than passion — others may disagree, but most of iltae's "development" as individuals and in a relationship happens in the spin-offs. also, i simply prefer emotionally mature ukes to an MC like taeui, so i had a blast with yuri gable lol. might be a make or break for you.

    why can't people just praise the story they like and ignore the one they hate?? calling ilay rapist as if xinlu is any better. calling passion shitty as if the author for both passion and raga wasn't the same person. this is why i guess i'll never touch raga, or at least for the time being. maybe once the hype calm down.
