Like did they find their bio kid? Is Riku basically non-existent to them now, or do they still visit? These are the loose ends I need tied up in stories like this one.
This "history" lesson is great in understanding what happened between Brian and the two dragons, but I really freaking hope this isn't a lead in to "Brian" replacing Ian. At the end of the day, Ian is 1000000x more fun to read as a character and not nearly as frustrating.
But the "you *are* Brian" bulk from before the time jump just... it gets under my skin and feels like it's preparing us for Ian to essentially disappear as the dragons get "Brian" back.
I would so much rather it be a twist that he's a reincarnation, but not like the rest. That Brian and Ian are two very different entities, even if Ian has access to Brian's memories. For example, he has access, but it's like it happened to another person, not him. So Brian remains Brian and stays in the past, and Ian gets to live on as Ian- without competing for space with a memory.
First of all, FINALLY!!!!
Secondly, what is with the weirdly disproportionate head for Doyoon every handful of panels? Am I just imagining it, or does it look kinda weird to anyone else? I've only been seeing it in the last couple chapters.
First of all... POTATO!!!! Finally pulling through with the truth! And that slap!! Yes!!
I think Dan's gma passed and he's left the gym, went awol, or is currently mid-funeral or move out. Nothing good, because good things don't find Dan.
My best guess is that the brother was obsessed with Won. Think back to the crazed look on his face when he was choking the dude while DTD when the MC caught him before moving out.
The uke is gorgeous, and the brother obv tried hard to befriend him, even when he was being rejected. The uke was also very obv not happy with the touchiness from the brother. I think the brother became obsessed, and then the uke ended up with feelings for Jinha. So, he secluded the uke away from everyone, therefore losing contact with his friends.
When the uke & Jinha ended up meeting/being suspected/actually doing something, the brother beat the shit out of Jinha or designed an accident, hence the hospital accident. Then the uke finally decided to leave, he punished him by unaliving himself.
So, the uke is being honest, but he's controlling and likes rough play bc he's been abused mentally/emotionally, etc. for so long. Monkey see, monkey do. It's also why he tolerated the abusive behavior from Jinha and the reciprocity, and is afraid of being alone.
((Or the uke is crazy, orchestrated the accident for Jinha, and is now using him as a replacement. Doesn't fit nearly as well as the first option, though))
Run! Take that kid and run as far as you can!! Marry the other alpha. Anything other than this abusive POS.
Even if J manages to pull a win out of this, he's gonna be f'ed up for a while. Regardless, he has a singular human punching bag to unload all of that rage onto, and regardless of reasoning, he's going to blame Dan bc the other team designed it that way.
I want J to win bc somehow I hate the baldy more, but also bc I know whatever grape or beating is coming for Dan won't be quite as bad. Oh, and has anyone else noticed the lack of pre-game "jinx" bouts? They're preparing us for something, and I dunlike.it.
The top probably got caught leaving or kept over because the other went missing. He probably did show up, just too late. I bet the reason he's lived such a shady life is because he never went back to the orphanage and has been looking for Mido since.
The situation is horrible, but the dude was just a kid. He was doing the best he could with the situation given. Now he's paying the price for not being as "cool" and all-knowing as the other one perceived him to be. The whole situation bites ass.
This backstory isn't taking so long just so that we accept it when it flashes back to the present and suddenly all of Brian's memories are awakened and Ian basically becomes a replacement Brian. Because if that's it, I quit.
Ian has a ten times more interesting backstory, personality, and relationship with each character than Brian does. I am not even a little interested in replacing him with any version of Brian.
This story is soooo good, and I really want to keep reading!!
What's annoying is that the manhua isn't even on hiatus anymore. It's already up to chapter 72 or 73 on the og site and on other language official sites as well. It's just English lagging behind. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
I don't think the uke is going to blame the seme, though. His parents weren't targeted because of the seme, but because of land. Also, the seme was literally a child, and I think our uke is smart/empathetic enough to realize how powerless he was at that age.
If anything, he's going to feel betrayed that the seme didn't tell him sooner.
No chance he let's that pass without letting hell rain down on our innocent Dan. Not when all the other signs have been there. Drugged twice? Colluding with another team? Fat chance any of this is "coincidence," and it isn't... they're targeting the ML. Dan is just paying the price for it.
Well, at least once we've crested the hill, we should start making our way to the redemption arc?
I hope she suffers with the insecurity that she's always a a substitute for a dead woman, and that without Cirrus around, the dad doesn't find her nearly as interesting. I also hope that she can't produce an heir (although, for the angst, I'm sure they'll have her have one), but I want her to suffer in her powerlessness. She is a monster.
I also wish the worst to his father as well, make no mistakes. But there's a huge difference between willfully negligence and purposeful antagonism.
Sorry, every time I see those two, I get the squick all over again.
Cain is still 10x a better human than Yahwi could ever hope to be.
He respects people's decisions and autonomy. He doesn't always put himself first, and he isn't hung up on getting his d!ck wet. Cain grows as a character and he is genuinely an amazing person. Hopefully he realizes that and aims higher than Jooin.
Well, Jooin made his bed and he can lay in it. I give him another 5 toxic years before he regrets the choices he made. I wish them both the life they deserve.
╮(￣▽￣)╭
That poor high school sister prolly woke up with how loud Haru was being at the end, and she would've known immediately what was happening.
Gotta keep your man quiet, Mr. Host.
Well, now the plot is all ready for Jakeyung to lose his very volatile temper with our boy. Question is whether he hurts him physically, mentally, emotionally, or d) all of the above. (My vote is on D.) If it happens after he loses his fight for whatever reason, it'll def be physical +bonus trauma.
Then he'll find out the truth, that will shake him up,and he'll finally own up to being the crappiest of humans. My slim chance of a hope is that Dan doesn't give him the time of day when that time comes.
Dude, every time Mini Mart smiles, I kinda wanna cry. He didn't choose to live the life he's in and yeah his bulbs not screwed all the way in, but there's something almost dead about his smile. I think that's why it weirds out the top so much.
For me, it just looks sad. Especially the last couple of chapters.
So, uh, exactly what happened to that yin energy orb that Haon straight shoved up his @ss?
Did he absorb it? Did Gon? Where did it go?!?!?
