i'm grateful this story is back but what the hell happened to the artstyle? or more specifically, the coloring and shading... i went back and looked and before they didn't even have any lip color, now they suddenly have the glossiest red lips ever. ummmm... sometimes less is more.
what the fuck :( i knew it was a dark story all along but man i had really not expected such a depressing ending
i'm on my 3rd (4th?) rereading of this webtoon and once again, i can't help but think pilgyeon's story is so regrettable. i felt like parts of his life was so sad and i almost wish he could have gotten a redemption arch instead. thinking about how he was so lonely, how he never received any love from his parents. also in one flashback soongap's mom tells him to always stay by soongap's side... in the end he couldn't :'')
every scene where we get to see pilgyeon as a kid tugs at my heartstrings and i just want someone to give him a hug. he made too many awful choices to deserve a redemption arch, but i would have loved if the story had been a little different and maybe he could have found someone of his own, keep soongap as a friend and brother and not been so lonely. but the story needed an antagonist & a threat so i understand why the author chose to do it this way. this webtoon is still a masterpiece anyway.
i feel like people would not be saying the seme is a shota if this was a story where the roles were reversed and he was the uke. people eat that shit up AAALL the time, where there's a big height difference and the uke is tiny and cute. idk what even makes this guy look like a shota in your eyes - if you look at the panels where he's standing next to the dragon guy (in human form) he's barely even a head shorter than him. so he's skinny and shorter, that makes him a shota?
his face is also not childlike imo, he just has big eyes. literally in the raws there's even a girl (a grown woman if you will) with bigger eyes than him. nah i think you're all reaching and maybe just hate bara. which is fair, but be honest about it!
