Fark i dont know how to feel it's a very heart warming story and putting aside the entire trope they grow!!! Overcome their worries/fears and chase their dreams!!!! In any other scenario this would have been an amazing story (I do think it still is, just with an asterisk)
Do i think their dynamic was weird? Yes. Do I condone an adult having romantic feelings for a minor/their STUDENT? NOT AT ALL
Ill leave it at that... nothing exceptionally inappropriate occurs when he's under-age but it is still inappropriate but I just really liked the story, the message and their growth as characters
It genuinely is a bit of whiplash for him to go from this kind of uncaring, mean man (I think he comes off meaner in the novel) to then doing a literally 180 and being a caring husband for Erna
And this comes from me, who actually really cherishes this series. The snowman scene where everything came out, and thereafter they were able to finally share their true feelings with each other
I think he needed some more time before he started the chasing arc, because his behaviour before that was literally appalling with no explanation bc there's no way your wife has a miscarriage, you're uncontactable through it (this he gets a pass) then he comes back and there isn't any explanation for your insanely vulnerable just had a miscarriage wife like
Anyways, somehow I still love them....buford rly just gave us the best scenes LOL











Holy shit
Okay im happy that I didnt peek at the last chapter half way through when I was getting bored
Im actually okay with the ending, and im happy that Ian and tj found their peace, jo found his freedom, and everyone kinda reached a happy ending
BUT FUCK OFFFFFF IM SO UNSATISFIED
The way I screamed when Ian was waiting in their cute FUCKASS COTTAGE WITH A BACKYARD FOR TJ AND THEY SHARED THEIR CUTE SWEET FUCKASS MOMENTS WITH EACH OTHER im sobbing and crying theyre so happy and that's what their lives culminated to, happiness together away from others
My baby Jo im so happy for him that he can go off and take pictures and live his life freely, im honestly happy that it showed him alone but content at the final panel
Fuck me this series i love it but I hate it i couldn't do it again, but I respect it for what it was, it was beautiful
Author nim thank you for wishing me happy and peaceful days ahead but I am ANYTHING BUT THAT RIGHT NOW
