And before people fall on me : I’m not talking about smut, but about romance. Maybe it’s better in the novel, maybe it will get better later; but I love a good slow burn yaoi with romance, and chemistry. Here, I sadly don’t feel anything, which is a shame because the art is beautiful, but for now I feel like the romantic and omegaverse aspect is lacking
You're right abt until now we have not seen much of their chemistry... I've completed novel so yeah it's better in novel but if we understand their character like both leads don't express their feelings, ML only open up a Lil bit in front of MC & MC is good at hiding hiw own feelings & putting a fake formal smile.he don't show it bcz he strictly wants only to have an agent & athletes relationship & in past also it's not like they were close they only have few formal encounters so that's why they don't talk/act more frankly with e/o.from my POV it's more realistic like in melting point ML was touching MC in their first meeting & talking abt his personal life & he was having hard time pushing him away in every chapter, which is very unrealistic or for me it feels odd. But I admit some reader like to see fast progress/ chemistry ( I'm not hating on MP I also read it & liked it)......in dash their relationship progress actually starts after their first sex which we are going to see in upcoming chapter only after that we will see more of their interaction not as professional but as love interest. I've read author's other manhwa ( max mojave case files) & it's one my fav so I've high expectations that she will make the slow burn worth it & gonna portray this manhwa as beautiful as it's novel... Excited for upcoming chapters
THANKS YOU ! Honestly loooove Melting Point, because even if it was hard to believe that the uke could sleep or love the top because he don’t like men etc etc, the characters have « soul » in their construction and the chemistry and the yearning is so well written aaaa; like when you read a chapter you feel the character have believable emotions and responds. Bref it’s 4AM, maybe I’m saying shit here lol, but I agree
Honestly amazed by the fact that we responded at the same time haha twin where have you been
I see your point, and it make me more interested in the chapters to come. But what I find weird is that the seme like the uke for a long time without knowing him (like you say they are not that close, but maybe it can be explained with the omega/alpha soul destined partner trop, and kinda hope it will), and when they reunite, don’t try harder ? Like, I see your confusion on Melting point (I honestly don’t remember the beginning), but, and again maybe it’s because this is no omega verse, it’s more credible for me in a sense that the seme is yearning for this holy opportunity encounter with his long crush. But, I demand to see, maybe I’m being a hater now and the characters will be less boring and exciting soon; but please, author-nim, give them emotions on their faces and by continuity personalities, even if it’s only when they are alone because damn, I need expressions and soul to feel romance
Yeah... I also want them to be more expressive & also wanna see more of their chibi version maybe we will see it in future chapter... Btw ML don't liked him without knowing... They trained together in academy , MC gives him swimming tips so they have a history together... From MC side ML was just like other junior he talk gives advice but for ML he was his inspiration he follows him both in academy and watched his competition video everyday even after they part Ways he watched it everyday everytime. ML don't talk much & have a slightly rough personality so he comes off rude so he don't have many friends & everybody talk bad about him but the only person who was kind to him was MC. Even his family gets angry bcz of his personality so MC was the only person who treats him nicely & converse with him.
IKR, the couples in MP are so fun when they interact with each other, they have this range of emotions to act in certain situation like a normal human being. They don't have this pheromone BS that forces ML to devoted to some lame and boring MC. Their relationship actually grows from when they're young and they also have their own struggles. But they eventually face their feelings and talk things out like real men, instead of repeating hundred mono-dialogues in their heads and playing cat and mouse for almost fifty chapters like these guy do in Dash.
Honestly you are straight out hating this manhwa, it's ok everyone have their own preference. But if you don't like it than their is no need to read it. There is many other stories with your preference.Like other readers who liked it's novel & follow this manhwa since day 1 it's not pleasant to see that type of comment in it's own comment section. You can point out if you don't like something like other people but hating it buy comparing with other manhwa is too much ... Btw the thing you pointed out about pheromone BS it seems like you have not read novel/ manhwa properly bcz ML falls in love with him bcz of his personality he didn't even know that he was omega when he fall for him he only found about it recently after yearning for him for 10+ years he even clarify it that he would have loved him regardless his sec gender even in novel he offer to be bottom if MC wants that's how much he loves him and in their world you can hardly tell anyone sec gender bcz they have technology like Chip. Like MC father was omega but he fall in love with his wife who is beta and they get married & MC & his sis was born so omegaverse don't play much role in this story to have a relationship even in first chapter we see MC topping his partner.... I'm not looking for a fight or debate I was just politely pointing out what I feel wrong. So I'm sorry if I comes off rude.
Oh, it's fine. I like reading and complaining. And yes I don't read the novel because I prefer seeing pretty pictures. So if I see MCs being written plainly I'd point out that they're boring, if I see forced romance I'd say that it's one. Not just this manhwa but there are many others as well. No offense or hating on the story or anything. (๑•ㅂ•)
I probably holding high expectation cause of peak spamming comments but all I see from their romance is if and when, not is. Even at the latest chapter, I see a ML trying to blackmail MC so that he can have sex with him and it feels horrible. And if MC actually falls for it I'd feel pity for him, instead of feeling excited for the long waiting smut scene. Their relationship feels forced and it's not even a healthy one.
Have to agree with you to some extend ! I feel like the people really liking this story so far are the one that read the novel, so maybe it’s mostly that the manga adaptation is not that good ? Like, for them to have sex for the story to move, and for the uke to slowly catch feeling is not my cup of tea, and for someone who didn’t read the novel like us, I agree that it appear forced rather than a real beginning of development towards romance. That doesn’t mean that we are disrespectful toward the one liking the novel, or that we are forcing our preferences toward anyone; just respectfully sharing our personal read until now, in a comment section meant for it

I actually hate the uke. The seme is annoying too, but he at least have a tiny inch of personality. Very bad written characters, that therefore have no alchemy whatsoever
