So we're putting all the blame on Ethan?! Jane said "I just gave you the opportunity." Let's not gaslight; he knew Ethan had little to no choice, and Jane has been very vague and secretive about his past and motives and has clearly said he has no plan. Why should Ethan trust himor more to the point, why should Ethan be blamed for not trusting him? Heck, this story took a weird turn of Jane being desperate for Ethan to trust him and it being thrown in Ethan's face that he's wrong for not accepting help. They didn't set up the story well enough to give Jane moral groundplus the kiss doesn't feel earned at this point.
MC says he likes how ML treats him like someone special...but he's favored by his familythe restaurant is NAMED after himhe has a friend, and a bunch of lovers. I never really got anything in the story where I should understand this. It's not like he was lonely or overlooked; he was spoiled AF. It'd make more sense if he said he liked that ML DIDN'T treat him like he was special, and that's what made him feel like a person, or something.
I think it is more like, he feels like he is special for charcoal in those moments.
That guy has absolutely been loved enough. Maybe it is because charcoal wasn't on board from the get go and he had to work for the attention. Or maybe he is just jealous of Junwoo or how the other guy's name was.
I get thatbut I'm still struggling to make the jump from "I love your body" to "I love you." There isn't a clear distinction, especially since both guys are so stubborn to really admit anything, so there isn't much relationship progress. We're only JUST NOW getting development.
The couple has made so little progress that this sudden confession feels left-field; Chani Chani has apparently been looking for a place for him and Seokjun...but he insults Seokjun all the time. Why is Chani Chani seen as the guy in the right with the "you should've talked to me" thing? That's OOC, considering he always called Seokjun ugly, threatened physical violence, and usually only called him for sex.
And how is a deal different from a wish? Seokjun said he was gonna face consequences of a wish anyway, so how is that different? That's just semantics, and the god should've still been in jeopardy anyway.
We just finished the second season, but all the important stuff could've been made into one; we could've just cut some of the constant sex that didn't move the plot along.
isn’t chani just a tsundere tho. He likes to pick on suckjun (suckjun is easy to pick on and chani is a little sadistic), but he’s still takes him on dates, kisses him, sucks his dick, and lets him lounge in his apartment, which might not seem like a lot, but it is to a in-denial misandrist. he could easily find a different man, or even go to baek muyeol, but he goes this far for suckjun because he likes him. He hasn’t let any man into his life as much as he has suckjun, but this fails to come across to suckjun because chani’s egotistical tsundere self refuses to verbally admit he likes suckjun. and suckjun’s an overthinker with low self esteem, so he brushes all of chani’s actions off as him being horny and wanting his dick rather than being a testament of his underlying feelings. so while chani thinks his actions are getting through to suckjun, they’re really not, which is why chani is confused why suckjun is hesitant to confide in him about his feelings (when the reason is obvious from an outside view).
thanks for coming to my ted talk.
Never liked those; it's really abusive and hard to engage in. Both the plot and romance really drag. The only reason I'm even reading is because C-man stories are rare.
I know you can't penalize someone for their thoughts, but this seems more than simply intrusive ideas. Does the ML get better, or is this a recurring "comedy" thing where he's homicidal and MC just has to deal with it no matter what? Wanting to matter in the world can't make me like him if he refuses to work on his social skills. Honestly would've been more interested if he came off as more bubbly and had thoughts that contrasted with them.
ML has some trauma. He's getting better by building his self esteem little by little. I think if he were bubbly he'd be a sociopath.
Technically he is a sociopath already; if he were bubbly, he'd be a psychopath. And yeah, I figured he had trauma based on his thoughts...it's just really hard to engage with him. Good to hear he's getting better. I'll await the rest of the officials.
I didn't even register the blue eyes until his dad popped up (that seems to be a trend in Wasian fiction), but no one mentions the elf ears?!
The whole "I'm gonna get you hooked on sex through dubious means just so I can have a bunch of sex of my own and you don't become my football opponent down the line" is so unnecessary since MC changed his mind rather quickly and now they're pretty much just getting along.
Also this "freak accident" feels so sus due to the timingbut I'm gonna assume it's not supposed to be dark or anything.
I see a comment explaining it, so thanks for that! In any case, I'm questioning why the main story wasn't an omegaverse. It actually fits really well with the themesthough I do question why the author chose such a sad ending for the AU, especially since having kids was something they discussed earlier. It does feel rushed at the end, and I'm curious if the author intended that to be romantic? No, I don't think a miscarriage and the resulting closeness is romantic.
Where's the explanation?? I don't see it
Two comments below mine by gg_253.
Oh it went to the next page that's why couldn't see it
This story is really interesting, but given that the core is Shane and Diego's relationship, I can't fully immerse myself, since Shane has manipulated and assaulted Diego, killed his assistant of 20 years at the dropof a hat without talking to him, and showing no consideration when Nine died. Shane just isn't a good person; he's fixated on Diego, so nothing else matters.
True, he's not likeable at all. But since the story is interesting I'll continue to follow it for now.
I think the story's really fascinating, but since they're emphasizing Diego and Shane's bond, I do feel like it's trying to make me sympathize with Shaneand I'm not. It's also weird since even when they're kids, they're written like they're adults to me.
I also noticed that! That was a hard break of immersion, like, thats not how a 12 y/o would think.
Yeah, it was really weird, since a lot of people are like "he was just a kid." I get that, but the author's writing hasn't changed; he's writing it like they're grown-ups.
Just stick with Danny and report the rest. This is basically "The Bad Life."
I always feel bad when the uke is fired, quits, or is undermined at work. I want Hikaru to have his own career and a relationship. And while I get that Shinobu wanted Hikaru to talk to him, he never pressed the issue when Hikaru seemed suspicious; he just let it go.
