THIS WAS THE CLIFFHANGER GOD FUCKING- I WOULDVE WAITED LONGER TO READ IT THEN NUUUUUUU
Pleeeease bruh, I cant take more annoying females as plot devices. I’m not offended or anything but it’s just a bit irritating, yeah? Like I’m sure there are other ways to distract the characters, maybe some self reflection or personal strife, not convenient exes popping up left and right, the hell
Agreed. It's honestly so sexist.
Like as much as I love here U are, women being portrayed as nuisances is a big BL cliche that bugs the fuck out of me. Realistically speaking, women are generally gay allies. Why can't we have some healthy gay man/woman relationships instead? Highlighting the fangirl's fetishy behavior was probably a better example. Djun introduced an unhealthy yaoi cliche before the character realizes its wrong and selfish. Not sure why he's going off road with this one..
he’ll be able to sleep??????
Lol my kink is communication holy shit
THIS LEVEL OF ANGST IS SO PAINFULLY ADDICTING CHRIST HELP ME IM A MASOCHIST THIS IS SO GOOD
There’s a gap in this story. The wolf needed a redemption arc before suddenly becoming Prince Charming. And also wtf, unless there’s something with their beast dynamics WHO THE ACTUAL FUCK JUST FLIPS A SWITCH AND BECOMES A RAPIST
Yeah, this plot's a mess. I was cringing during the scene where Ho was struggling, saying, "You don't blackmail someone you love!", because the author was treating it like he was throwing a fit over nothing and only saying it because of his trauma. Like, dude, being forced to give a blowjob IS traumautic.
The vampires are ironically more human than the humans. That’s actually really clever. I like this story.
Honestly, immortals are always portrayed with this sense of becoming a ruthless beast and while yes, being subject to the repeated trauma of death might do that to you, at their core, they’re still complex animals capable of thought. Just like humans. That’s all you need for empathy and by extension, compassion. It isn’t a “curse” really, and they aren’t slaves to their food source, per say. Like everything else, they need to survive. However, immortality changes the game just a little bit. Rather than fighting death, they fight living without a purpose, which is a type mental death/resignation. The father’s wife died for that.
Normal humans struggle with finding their purpose in life sometimes, but most of all, they just fear death in general because it’s missing the unending journey to find said purpose. By the end of our lives, we value the experiences rather than that idealistic end goal we taught ourselves to chase as we go on.
On the other hand, vampires or immortals in general deal with a similar conditions but the issue is vice versa. They have eternity to wrack up experiences, so they take that for granted, but they can’t fight for an end goal, as they have all the time to accomplish whatever. As a result, they get desperate for an anchor, a landmark after wading through a vast sea of endless turmoil and bloodshed, so they latch onto things with defined lives.
You know, that kinda just means there will never be a happily ever after even for the pairs that remain together. Like the father and his wife, the couple will latch onto an interest in mortals again and begin the endless suffering that is watching something live and die just to give themselves a reason to still be around.
... Um, if you’re wondering why I wrote all this... I’m procrastinating on assignments. This isn’t really much of an opinion on the story or anything lol
Please capture that man because the spoiler comments are killing me, I swear I fucking hate love triangles...
I intensely dislike Soowon. Not for his behavior or even the whole murder, his character archetype is the kind that tries to be realistic but is addicted to the ideal, the big picture. It’s a god complex. Not the one that’s like hahaha you peasants but the more subtle I can remake the world in my image... and it justifies all I do because my world will be better for everyone in the end. The sheer scale of that egotistical level of thinking is somehow masked by charm, calm, and- oh, sociopath. I was looking for the term sociopath.
Shin’s just shy and usually strategically throws everyone off, even the king himself. And Wolf is just a big puppy dog that’s dense and awkward. Leave the two boys be. They’ve got crushes on each other lol
