so this is the end of the notorious jinx. wow. this story gets a lot of shit, and honestly, justifiably so. i think to the average individual, this story can be very overwhelming in terms of toxicity and violence, but this story is really good. it is addictive and satisfying. the art is obviously delicious, obviously. and the characters are so interesting. joo is an absolute terror, and i have to say, i love him. i have a soft spot for people who are kind of bad but had a rough upbringing and are sweet to the people they care about. i don’t know, it’s my problem.
and doctor dan? he is an angel on earth. this story gets a lot of shit, but it is really entertaining. i love a good story with a yearning top where the top mega-fucks up. like, mega-fucks up, and then has to earn their way back in while still suffering that loss. and we literally see him suffer up until the very end, where there is a nice resolution.
my only gripe with this story is that the ending cuts off right before we see them actually, genuinely happy. i know that that’s coming in the side stories, but for me personally, i’m just the type of individual who prefers there to be a few more chapters of fluff because i really shouldn’t be savoring a hug scene between these two.
ultimately, this was a fantastic read, and i know that this is an unpopular opinion, but it is really entertaining and good. and most BLs, if you’ve read as many as i have, don’t have this level of entertainment or goodness. and i know this author struggles because they really outdid themselves with BJ Alex. that is insanely hard to top. and i don’t think that either story is better than the other, honestly. both are kind of in the same ballpark for me. neither are my favorites of all time, but both are really entertaining and fucking good.
if you’ve read over a thousand BLs like i have, this is good. i promise you, this is good.
