Reserve my judgement…

As the title of my comment says— I’m holding off on judging until a few more chapters, but I really don’t like the direction this chapter took for numerous reasons… the biggest being that storytelling-wise it feels like a cheap way to show/remind readers that Jaeyi is doing this no-strings attached after being so sweet and caring with Ideum, and thus it doesn’t match the image of our ml we’ve been trained to expect over the past 18 chapters. That man better realize how much of a piece of trash he’s being and apologize on his head, otherwise this story loses that refreshing air that it had… friends with benefits without treating the uke like a personal belonging.

    I’m pretty sure on the Korean lezhin, it’s tagged with regretful top, so it’d make sense

    I really enjoyed reading what you wrote! Calm and brings up good points. Especially the cheap easy cop out for plot. It could be worse was my own thought. But it couldve been better- but that would be MY idea of better. This story is pretty damn good. Regretful top better apologize!

    YAS! I just hope it’s well written atp T-T Still, this was a really cheap way of setting that up, but alas tropes exist for a reason whether we like them or not…

    Absolutely it could be worse! But when there is already so much worse on this website (and others) I find myself rolling my eyes when stuff like this occurs in good stories… Because I had better expectations based on the way this story initially started. And thank you ^^~ Just wanted to share my piece when I saw all the people insulting those who didn’t like the recent chapter T-T I’m not a moralist, I just have toxic ml fatigue, yk? If Jaeyi’s regret doesn’t go above and beyond I’mma be very disappointed lol

    Toxic ml fatigue is so real. Like, we've seen this before. Many times
