Could have been better. Uke is a little shameless to not realize that his unrequited love needs to end. Like literally. He clung on to him too long. His drinking habit, whining and unreasonable dislike, anger for Seme didn't leave a good taste. On the other hand I wish the seme would have a stronger backbone. Like, Uke really did not wanted him. He should have let him go or at least give him space to think about it. He came too strong. I did not enjoy most of the story because Uke was already in love with someone else and did not a little bit interested with seme. They should have give it time to develop some feelings. If it wasn't for the murder change thing, they wouldn't be able to move on in their relationship. And one last point, SMUT WAS INCREDIBLE.
?? So beautiful. What's with the rating? My heart is aching for the son. I can't imagine how alone and desperate he is. And his head is actually working after all those years inside. He could have been insane at this point. (Not that he is sane but...) I will be marinating this but plot and their dynamic is worth keep waiting. This will be good.
Just read it all over again and must I say Shuraka is the most beautiful character I have ever seen. Every time I see his golden hair, beautiful face shape, lashes and eyes... His skin under the light shining like a sun. His clothes that are embroidered with gems. His shiny earrings. His demeanor, words. His thoughtfullnes. His unyielding LOVE for Tei. Alll of him as a whole is so beautiful! I love love his character.
It was worth it. I spent a night and a half day to read it and it was good.
Here is my take on this. Romance was good. Their relationship progressed a little too fast (I love slow burn stories) BUT their love felt genuine and exciting. I wish we could see more of it then some parts of the story.
loved our main characters. No notes.
Main arc was not truly complete in my opinion. We didn't get to see underworld's actual leader's story enough. We didn't get to explore our MC's back story. Like deep origin story. What really could be done with his powers... But he was a very charming character. LOVED him.
And Yeom-Ra. I think there was room for his true feelings. Artist didn't choose to explain it so I respect that but I would have loved if I could see him happy just one time. Because he was always in agony. Sadness consumed him. We couldn't really see a confrontation between them. That's what's really missing in the story I think.
Other than that I give this story a 5 stars because it earned it!
I caaan't! They are too young to be doing that... And Gaku has experience from MIDDLE SCHOOL? I just can't. And having sex at that unknowingly is not it. It's not a flex you know. It's not cool to be "innocent". Himari didn't even know what a playboy is when they met. They are high schoolers. First year I mind you. Just nope. Ick.
This was a great love story honestly. 10/10. So I loved depiction of depression and healing. These things mostly need extrinsic factors. That's why MC needed to hear her mother's regret. I felt that in my core. I too experienced pain like that and It hurts as humans we mostly need to be validated in our feelings. We want to be accepted, appreciated, not be hated by our parents. It's too hard for one person to bear. And it does not to be constant. We just need to be seen at least once. Once and we can began to heal. We just need to know it's possible to also love ourselves. And I loved the healing process. Although it usually takes much longer than that, people do heal in my opinion. And I find that journey so beautiful. When you loved by a person you bloom. It takes so much time love and patience but it's incredible two person can do that. As for ML, I think he was great really. I don't think their childhood mattered because we don't understand our feelings and make mistakes all the time as teens. What mattered is he grew in their relationship. He understood and become beware of MC's feelings. Thoughts. It's so rare when a character is that awake when he himself not know how it actually feels like to be that depressed. And in real world it takes too much time to be open and trust a person to share your past, secrets and true feelings. So it was good that he learned all from his friends. I know it would be nice to see MC to tell him but it would have take much more time or it would be never. Because he did not trust this relationship. It was so realistic to seel all of that. I really think this was a beautiful love story. Not just a "yaoi".
And side note: somethimes in some scenes I felt the characters movement is so realistic. Like they move in a movie. It was refreshing and surprising. It was so subtle but when I realized it it was so unique.
Thank you for this masterpiece.
Whyy?! I Couldn't read after the rape. Yeah it shouldn't have happened and it ended for me. I was soo invested too! I can understand stupid misunderstandings. Like lawyer didn't say anything and stupidly decided to leave the country like it was so unreasonable but it can work for the plot when necessary. BUT shooting? Their first time is being rape? Nah. Tsar was too much of a gentleman for that. And if he was not I don't like him. Because then it's not love it's just lust after lawyer's body. It doesn't mean anything ugh... I can't believe a word from him after that. His character is not consistent. How could he kiss lawyer's hand so tenderly and could rape him? Make it make sense. I was not at all waiting for that. I wondered why rating is 9.1 for such a beautiful story. I see why now. Even 9.1 is a lot for this heartbreak... I am so sad.











I am waiting like a good girl
