The premise of the story is great, and the art is fab, and the dynamics between Jonak and Adain is so precious. Really like how they converse with each other.
But there’s just one thing that’s bothering me: what triggered Adain to sleep separately from Jonak, and for a very long time at that. What’s with his reaction when Jonak was discussing the thing he saw about the priest? And then later on, we saw him having a dream that he laid with the young Jonak. This part really doesn’t make sense to me.
Overall though, it was a great read.
I think he was realising he forced Jonak in the beginning like the priest forced the orphans.
Hmm, it could be that. That’s why he cried when he was asking for Jonak’s forgiveness, because he became the thing he hated the most.
Honestly I understood it as like a mix of him realizing he forced himself on Jonak in the beginning plus the fact that Jonak was like 20 when they met, and Adain was already ancient at the time, so Jonak was like really young and I think that the scene he saw him as a child was he realizing the age difference between them and that like he was grown for a human but for a imortal he was basically a baby who didnt know better and was coarse into doing what Adain wanted to get what he wanted… but idk
Nah, i think you’re onto something here—both you and @Rotha85. Thankfully, the both of you have a wider perspective to this story than me, so I get to understand this story more. So thanks to the both of you :))
Can’t believe i have to pause as early as chapter 1 just to gather my thoughts, or myself, or whatever it is I need to gather and then throw out of the window because i’m not supposed to read this with a sound mind
I kind of hope they don’t end up together. That way, the author gets exactly what they were aiming for—a story that leaves a lasting impression. Cause why would you revive a really good wholesome story only to throw away some angst, right?
At this point, I don’t really want them to be together anymore. Whatever the reason behind Haebom’s behavior—whether it’s influenced by someone else or not—I don’t think it can justify the pain and trauma he caused Taesung. I’d rather see Taesung walk away from the relationship. Whatever they’re doing to each other only hurts them. It’s no longer worth holding on to someone [Haebom] who chooses to run away instead of facing things together with you—this should’ve been the ideal setup, and isolation is not the answer.
And honestly, if they don’t end up together, it makes the story feel more real. Sometimes, love just isn’t enough. It’s the kind of ending that hurts, but in a way, feels honest/real. You don’t get the comfort of everything working out, but you do get something more grounded with growth, consequences, and a sense of self, even if it means letting go.
So, I am not yet finished with this manhua but as expected from [some] Chinese entertainment, it’s freaking ridiculous to the point of brain rot, and i don’t really hate it some scenes reminds me of those short c-dramas i see as an ad—overly absurd that it’s comical.
They deserved each other—they’re both trash :)
This started out great, and I was really liking that Noeul is ignoring the seme and seemingly starting fresh with Luna. Like, he’s finally setting boundaries and no one can tell him otherwise. But then, he can sleep with Yeoreum but not Luna? Man, he(we) already got his answer by that time. You don’t have to freaking lead Luna on. This makes me think he wants to keep Luna as a backup.
Luna deserves better. He was kind until the end—giving Noeul one last chance, and in a way, an easier way out. I really like him. And I really hate them both for doing this to a man with good intentions.
I agree that they're both annoying af, but this is actually kind of realistic. In real life your feelings can't just vanished entirely even if you wanted to, 17 years is not a joke. Plus the reality that the ML is being pushy it's really not that easy to let go. I don't think Luna is 100% pitiable here though. He knows what he's getting himself into. Like bruh he just outright court the MC 1day after he decided to give up his first love. They all need to breathe.
Well, yeah. But in reality, I don’t think it’s easier to keep holding to a love you think is unrequited for 17 years. I have to say it’s just plain stupid and a waste of energy, really. The 17 years of unrequited love in itself is unrealistic—because what do you mean you love someone who does not love you for 17 years? Sure, maybe for a good 1-3 years, but 17 years? Lol. Mind you, the one he’s pinning for is a trash, makes it a lot easier to let go. But well, fiction and reality doesn’t really work the same.
I don’t really pity Luna, i just hated what they did to them. Also, Luna knowing what he’s involved himself with and uke leading him on are two separate things. Does not change the fact that uke is also trash for doing this.
“Am I still on your mind?”
This smooth mf. I was rolling, wheezing, kicking—good god, it’s been ages since I’ve felt this giddy over a story. The last time was with Park Hanhoo’s Manager (The line was “My tomorrow became you”).
I’m so happy for them, especially for Yujin! I like him so much I was about to thrash Hanjoon for being a jerk (at first). This was such a refreshing read, compared to its main story.
Lol, the fan translation for chapter 20 (some scenes) hits much much different compared to the official translation. Especially that scene where Jun was crying, and it was because while crying he was thinking this: “I liked everything. Everything about Seo Yoonseul.” That exact moment had me crying right along with him.
But in the official translation, the same scene felt… kinda weak. It didn’t fully capture or deliver what Jun was feeling in that moment, so it came across less emotional than the fan translation.
Not complaining though—super thankful to the fan translator and uploader, because I got to read this precious gem.
“They’re the ones who were to blame, not me. I was never all that ashamed of it when I told somebody, either.”
Knowing the context behind Gitae’s words, I have nothing but mad respect for him. He’s not ashamed because what happened says more about the perpetrators’ morals than his own. And really, why should he blame himself when he was the one who was wronged? This is a powerful reminder that survivors owe no apology for their truth
I like this bibi so much! (And yes, I’m a bit emotional as of writing this.)
Why is the story jumping from one scene to another????
It’s not that the story itself doesn’t make sense at all, I’m just like “whaaa???” when the scene/mood changes so suddenly.
I had such high hopes for this manhwa, only for it to fall flat. It doesn’t have to be some masterpiece with flawless writing, but it should at least have a clear goal, a driving force, or a plot that ties everything together. Instead, it feels like the story just drifts from one event to another without building toward anything meaningful.
I wished we saw Uriel suffer greatly, lmao. What he did was detestable, and I felt like the crime he did was brushed under the rug. You know what? Actually, almost everything that happened on this manhwa was brushed under the rug.
Felix was right though: Uriel is a different creature, so he’s bound to have a different set of values and a moral compass that’s completely unlike a human’s. At least the story got that part right.
