Ok, My thoughts are:
1. Translation is definetly lacking, but that's fine. Thank you to all the translators who tried their hardest. I could not do it.
2. The Art becomes better and better, and that's really nice.
3. There is incredible design choices I really like (The mask for examples). The overall looks and design of the characters is good, ALTHOUGH a couple look too much like each other.
Now, on the real negative:
4. Pathing is awful and that's the main reason this story is bad. Sure, translation is not helping, but mostly, we never get to see a characters go through a full arc. It jumps back and forths between character arc and plot all the time. It's all mish-mashed. Even the flashback are badly timed.
This is such a shame because this story had so much potential.
Like, so many of those character could have had REAL introductions, with a small background or explanation (eg. The Actress/singer).
5. The story is too convoluted, and a lot of the events don't get the emotional impact they deserve. (eg. the Reveal that his AB child died... How did we not get a full meltdown, with a flashback of the birth or hospital?)
Anyway... so much potential. Maybe the novel is indeed much better.
I agree, I think the story didn't end perfectly like the novel due to the cost, maybe. Like when I read this manhua, I'm still new to the omegaverse and this story is actually confusing for the omegaverse beginner.
I know the story is centered between the mc and ml, but I honestly think they really should introduce the singer and her og bf, because what?? They suddenly introduced into the story and boom, suddenly sad story like, we need more lore on that, since it's related to the main story.
Last but not least, f you Zhu yellow-haired guy. You'll be remembered in hell, motherfather. I'm so mad at him like, argh. I know it's hard to become close to someone who isn't originally a family like Ningning, but he's pure evil bro I'm-
(งᵒ皿ᵒ)ง⁼³₌₃
gurl, how i would never let this madman in my child's life. Bruh, he is way too unstable.
What I find so satisfying in this story is that I actually feel satisfied with the way the bad guys are punished.
Like... so damn satisfying.
everytime i start a story like this, i get concerned by the state of dating in korea. who think that it's ok to be this toxic????
i feel like the author never had a relationship because what the hell
Is this worth reading? how close to being complete is it?
If you're willing to read through SA and confinement, go ahead
saved me from another story that would murder a piece of my soul by sending me into a fit of rage
I think the problem I have with this is that on the Season 1 finale, the author wrote, now that Dan left the fall from grace of the Seme can be greater... but, my issue is that Dan left for ALL the wrong reasons.
Like, bro think he is the problem, and not that mf who keeps being an absolute asshole to him and treats him like literal dirt.
Chap 40 Dan: "I-- I think I love him"
Me: Gurl, wat huh??!! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
bro gurl mothfbhtr, what the hell this was so good.
I love a bottom teaching what FEELS good damn
Yeeeeah,
That's it for me. I was into it at first, but I now, the main character feels like a tourist in his own story.
Usually there is always that side character that's always kinda there but outside of the plot that's oblivious to the main couple shananingan... but in this one, EVEN the side guy feels like he has more agencies.
Also, again, why are all these seme borederline crazy and that's brush off?
Why would he stop his boyfriend's friend from showing him support?
Why would his entire family not reveal to him they accept him?
Main character just lives in dreamworld limbo where he never gets the chance to evolve as a person and/or to actually have genuine conversation and connection because he is crazy sheltered like if he was 12.
