Wow. It was great all in all. Everything got resolved in the end so that left me quite satisfied. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the couples they were soooo fucking sweet towards the end (except the misters, need more storyline ig). It was such a journey binge-reading this. I had so many opinions every arc that it's hard to put down. Never got bored enough to exit the app which is rare while reading manhwas, i usually dont finish manhwas like this in one day lol
Seungtaek and Kyubin. As of now I dont get why everyone hates them. They seem alright to me, out of everyone, they seem to be the most fleshed out.
Right now Im more annoyed by the blonde creep who has a thing for highschool students. Tbh if that part of his character "being really weird for highschool students" wasnt there at all, he's be a pretty good character, he seems a genuinely kind brother figure to the highschool kids. But they just have to ruin it by adding the highschool kid fixation(?).
Also a bit annoyed by the crossdressing antisocial lad, he's so rude to everyone right now even to those who's just tryna be kind to him. I symphatized with him at the first eps becuz of Kyubin's bullying, but now idk anymore. The suhyeok guy is also confusing, idk what he wants.
CHAP 62 IN and Fuck i changed my mind about the blond, HE'S A TOTAL FUCKING CREEP. I cant believe I bought in his nice guy act, i almost got groomed myself just becuz i bought his good brotherly act, technically, in a way. Fuck
Because they are both weird asf getting someone else involved in there whatever it was bc things weren’t working out is actually so annoying. One guy tries to control others to get what he wants and when it doesn’t work he acts out the other one who is aware of that and his feelings but still keeps putting up with that weird shit.
I fear i would not be kind to ppl either if my every time i tried it turned out terribly bad. First couple genuinely made my blood boil.. so yall like eachother leave other ppl out of it
New to this, can someone tell me who ends up with who. No major spoilers aside from that pls i just wanna know what to expect here since there's no implications yet as of chap 4
Ikr, I read this a long time ago and I remember dropping cuz it was so confusing. I thought MC was going to finish w one of his classmates, and then both of their classmates who supposedly hated each other did in fact liked each other? Idk, if you have kept reading it, should I give it another chance?
I finished it and it's great. The mc has a slowburn romance with someone who will appear at the last quarter of the story but IT WILL BE SO WORTH IT I TELL YOU. Dont give up yet all the couple turned out so sweet in the end
OH HE'S ON THE BACKBURNER, CRISPING UP. I love the angst. Toxic uke feels refreshing. Idc what everyone says here this is good sht right here trust me
IM ON CHAP 35
Love the side couple, i need more of them. I dont like how drawn out the rape scenes are, it's so unnecessary that I might think it's written to be a pórn which i hope NOT cuz that would be a really bad taste. Why did they have sex right after as if uke didnt just suffer a very traumatic experience that would definitely give him ptsd? Ugh this manhwa used to be so promising? The sanbeom something is suppose to be villain obsessed with the uke right? Why suddenly a 360 as if the author trashed the idea? Changed mind last minute?
Like i said this USED to be so good, such an amazing premise that couldve had so much potential for lots of conflict and character development. Now with how the story is progressing, it seems like the author doesnt know what to do with the plot anymore, i feel like they want protagonists to be together but have no idea how to get them there lol. I also get pissed with the narration like the author's trying so hard to be poetic it just ends up like word vomit that doesnt make and any sense and doesnt include anything important or substantial to the story at all, those flowery passages doesnt make me feel any emotion at all. Like a try hard
IM ON CHAP 41 and I QUIT.
You know what made me finally drop this? I had enough of the CORNY ASS NARRATION.
"Burning imprint of gentle insistence"??? What the fck is that? Like genuinely what does that mean??? Is this translation error becuz it only makes sense in korean? Whatever im done. Fanfic writers write better that this, atleast their metaphors makes sense
Main story
It was good at the start, i like how equally obsessed they r to each other even if the uke is the nile river. Seme has manipulative streak sometimes but it's pretty understandable given by how much attached they r, not saying it's good but it adds to the flavor of the story, otherwise it's ur typical childhood friends to lovers. Sometimes it takes me off whenever uke still calls seme "man" "dude" like theyre still dudebros even when theyre already dating, maybe that's just how he is cuz he's not very sweet. Sometimes i feel like that the author cant decide between the whiny diva archtype or the happy go lucky boyish archtype for the uke, which the latter kind of doesnt fit with how pretty and cute he looks. Ive said too much now i wanna discuss the side stories
Side story
Wish they never added this. Typical kr bl manhwa when it comes to handling gay sex. Bottom keeps telling stop it hurts but top keeps going cuz the reason is "bottom likes it anyways he's just flustered or look he cums so hard so it's ok" But the whole scene looks like an unhealthy way of communicating during sex. The top doesnt listen, bottom looks like he should be suffering but they make it so that he's not really even tho logically this kind of sex should be painful? Do u get it? Whenever this happens i just roll my eyes. Is this most kr comic creator's kink? Same thing over again it's not even enjoyable to read so i drop the side stories. It's become a template atp and a really bad one
Oh i wanna add that the main story ending feels abrupt and rushed. Shoved into ur face all of a sudden, pacing towards the end turned sht
first i just wanna say that user Lilac's comment was absolutely right. y'all are always grumbling on and on about how some manhwas in particular put more time on smut instead of communication and now that we absolutely got that y'all act impatient and obnoxious in the comsec. pick your poison.
now i want all those weirded out that the top regressed and immediately thought something inappropriate was gonna happen come back here and face me
watching kids grow up and teaching them basic things (even tho that kid is not really a child and not really a human) and then a twist of fate had you married in the future doesnt in any way is similar to emotional gaslighting and lots and lots of manipulation and abuse in a grooming scenario. grooming is a serious real life issue, it just doesnt happen to every couple who met when one is a child. there's a power imbalance, also as i said there's gotta be lots of manipulation, lying, isolation, there's also a history with the adult grooming the child. i dont think anything in the story that tells me the mc is a groomer, he just genuinely treated the dragon as a companion, when he was a kid he thought of him as kid he should care for without malice, he never in any way thought of him as marriage prospect when he was a child, he doesnt have a history of being a sicko, pedo or sexually attracted to young people. he wanted to get away with his obsessive brother and it just so happens that the dragon who took the form of a kid is the only person left in that village, theyre literally the only creature there. he doesnt see the child and immediately thought, "he's attractive and he's vulnerable right now so i should take advantage of it, manipulate him into thinking this whole deal with us is normal and isolate him to the world and ravage him", there's absolutely no line like this in the whole story. i get it, y'all see a couple that met as an adult and a kid and immediately your brain goes in that direction, you might wanna check yourself first. if you have time to analyze the morality of a fictional story maybe you have time to actually do a real life effort to advocate for child abuse and women's right, block and boycott rapist celebs and actual real life groomers and pedos. thank you
Can you just accept that this plot point makes readers uncomfortable instead of shaming people? The excuses are so unnecessary, "It's not REAL grooming" well it's actually just weird.
this is for you cabbagepanda, cuz it seems like you blocked me which is so funny
why? are you ashamed? if being called out makes you shameful instead of accepting the fact that you can change your opinion on things becuz youre a human being capable of learning, i dont know what to say to you.
and im not shaming people, im trying to educate them. read all the comments again to see who's really shaming people. people's perception of weird are different, what you see as weird may seem not really weird to others, so saying that as a matter of fact is wrong
This is one of the first bl manhwas ive read during covid pandemic. I remember obsessing over this so much, i discovered my love for spoiled bratty ukes
