for everyone who can't remember who this guy is, he was an acquaintance who went to high school with jinhyeong and was a part of the crowd jinpil wanted jinhyeong to hang out with over songrik. jinhyeong saw him again at the previous conference and had a panic attack behind it because it brought up bad memories, so the fact that he's able to face him confidently here shows a lot of character growth!!
the end is definitely on the horizon, can't see it continuing for any more than 3-5 chapters not including side stories and that's me being generous i'll be terribly sad but i still hope we get lots of side stories and a time skip to after they've both graduated..... PLEASEEEE
despite everything (was not happy with the goblin chapters at all, skipped right over those lmao), it was quite beautifully drawn and rendered. will genuinely have to study this for myself lol
haven't complained about muyeol in a while because i was hoping we would make it make sense and stop involving him in so much of their relationship conflict but i see i was wrong to hope.
i was never expecting this to be the pinnacle of literary art or anything, but i truly do not understand why the author insists on having muyeol be the sole vehicle to get their relationship to move the tiniest bit forward. do they not have any other ideas. did every other person in this universe die? and it's made even more irritating because yechan has never shown muyeol that he is willing to do anything he asks, and he is fully aware that he hates him. nothing he has tried has ever worked, and even if this attempt does work this time, it wouldn't work for long, so he is extremely persistent without a cause. we are seriously circling the drain here. such an odd way to use this character when there are better options. i'm not even really having fun reading this anymore and it's because of him. i'm just exhausted now
jinhyeong's mother is very beautiful, and it's hilarious that he has her entire face, but i fear that she is also going to hell she didn't participate in the abuse, but she sure did not do her part to prevent it from happening and to mitigate the psychological damage it did. she was the one who reinforced the idea that he makes his father feel ashamed, she consistently defended his father for his behavior by saying he doesn't mean it, and at some point, we literally see her turn her back on him when he's looking for her support. no matter the circumstance, if you abandon your children like that, i will always find that especially cowardly. they didn't ask to be born, and they are the most vulnerable out of all of us, so as a parent, you have to do your utmost to protect them. i really do not think she did enough to defend him while he was still in their house, so while i suppose it's nice that jinhyeong has found it in himself to forgive her for it enough to maintain contact with her, i don't really think she deserves it. what can you do, i guess !
yeah i'm wrapping this up. it's 2026 and manhwa authors still don't have the guts to stand ten toes on the rape THEY choose to include, they have to exacerbate the issue by telling the audience that we should just be alright with it and it wasn't actually a big deal. not to mention that it feels like the author is setting up something very weird between danwoo and the twin. danwoo is honestly too curious about him, and i really do not get a good feeling from him not drawing a boundary and telling the twin that he isn't allowing further contact just so he can keep talking to him but that it's for hajun's sake. whatever it is, though, i'm not sticking around to find out. it's like the author thinks it should be punishment enough that danwoo beat him up that one time.
this entire thing was wholly unnecessary and ruined a perfectly good story. idk if the author thought we'd get bored or what, but they certainly could've come up with something better than this horseshit. huge letdown.
jinpil is so fascinating to me in how pathetic he is. lived his whole life like a fucking loser and pinned all the blame on jinhyeong even though his son was the one thing in his life that was worth a damn. the way he insists upon desperately clinging to jinhyeong after constantly moving the goalposts on why he didn't have permission to cut him off is both hilarious and frustrating. he claims he did it all so he could be happy, but he was told repeatedly that he's happy now and that still wasn't good enough because he's not happy the way he envisioned lmao. it's crazy. "what about your career! what about your inheritance! well, everything you have is mine anyway! ... can i be a grandparent at least?" like get some psychological assistance TODAY bitch
my goat.... thank you for updating. it took 88 chapters, but jinhyeong finally realizes that he isn't actually a worthless piece of shit and that he deserves to be loved and to live. let's all kill ourselves (it made me cry)
ugghhh what a goddamn shame, it was going so well before the twin showed up. i knew as soon as we saw that text from the twin saying that he could go to the club that hajoon had a twin but it's so unfortunate that this was the route the author decided to take with this and i really really really hope they don't turn it into some weird love triangle. i'm so sad, this was so good
"this feels like a match-up i can actually win!" says man who doesn't know he's already losing
a relationship like this can only work when you're both crazy as hell, it's insane inyul thinks minhyuk would ever get tired enough of him to leave when he just told him that him making an actual attempt on his life was a turn-on like idk i think you're good bro
i know jinpil doesn't understand just how serious jinhyeong is about uyun, but he truly all but sent himself to eternal damnation by fucking with him and making him cry lol. a whole month of your own son shitting on you on the internet through hundreds of comments and attacking your most sensitive insecurities... he genuinely deserves worse. jinhyeong should legally be allowed to string him up by his ankles over the interstate like he said he wanted to.
genuinely have tears in my eyes bro i'm so sad it's over, i'm gonna miss them so much ....... side stories PLEASEEEEEEJSJFHHS i won't beg i'll just ask 63857274938 times.
i can't hold it anymore. the paneling has been a complete mess for the past several chapters now. the artwork itself is not bad, but the panels are totally nondescript and oftentimes you can barely see anyone's expression, if at all. who is greenlighting this, just let the author take a hiatus..... though it's possible the author themself just wants to finish the story quickly. it's a shame either way.
yechan is that one guy who don't play about seokjun at all and it's so hilarious to me. if it were announced that every man would blow up tomorrow, yechan would try to figure out how to make both himself and seokjun survive it because he hasn't had enough sex with him yet (and he likes him). this is kind of a master class in character writing idk
running this one back and wondering why the hell jungwook told hyunjin he might be able to date his crush in chapter one knowing full well that he was the one he had a crush on i always thought he moved really strangely with hyunjin anyway but that's kinda crazy to say when you know exactly who he likes lmfao
losers like woo jinpil will never come out on top in the face of kindnessmaxxers like song uyun, i know that's right......
petition for muyeol to get struck by lightning and hit by a car and then run over by the car and then he becomes so miserable about his face being so busted that he kills himself and then god brings him back to life and makes him fall off a cliff so he can die again.
