this was cute and all, but a time skip following a singular chapter or like half of one to show them happy at the end of it sucks. some stories do a good job with this, where despite it ending or personally wanting it to drag on, it's still enough in the end. idk if i feel that for this.
but the creator's note mentioned side stories. so maybe my opinion will change once those release... tbh i wanna see more about the doctor and the other gang guy with boxing gym
*sigh* rereading chp 44 and seeing how much taejoon was trying to hold onto ian and push him away all at once. trying etch his face into his brain. he told ian not to show at the funeral but he did anyway.
they hurt my heart so much until the end. but at least i see them happy then. i love each role they all played, jo, ian, and taejoon. it was always clear from the beginning, who ian would end up with. i'll come back and read this through and cry about it again one day
this is the cutiest story. all the problems work out without being dragged on for long. despite it being on the shorter side, i still feel like it was paced well. smut scenes are delicious and their chemistry is wonderful.
can't forget to mention cry baby top changyeong. i loveee when they cry, have an episode of waterworks, and a nosebleed from being turned on and in love too much(/TДT)/
i hope the author can rest well and come back with a spin-off for glasses and his hottie
I’m not arguing w no one about this shit bc it’s really right in your face. But the author using rape as a plot device for shock value is a whole fucking mess. It’s supposed to justify wooyeon’s obsession, but surely there’s other ways to do this. Read whatever u want, who cares. I’m an adult with the ability to discern fiction from reality and have opinions. But man it was so uncomfortable reading those sex scenes. There’s a discretion for chapter 94 like that forceful shit wasn’t happening before.
in-seob is constantly saying no, to please stop, it hurts. wooyeon NEVER USES LUBE, just raw dog, no prep or anything. the coercion— wooyeon saying you like me right, so have sex with me/give me a bj to prove it. In-seob’s disappointment in his own body for responding to wooyeon. Like what is the point of including all that, cause she really ain’t need to. Inseob has ZERO agency over his body. the rape is used as love interest. Wooyeon is NOT morally gray, he just straight up abusing and using his APD mental diagnosis is a cop out. He shows no sign of remorse for his actions until CHAPTER 95 but once again as readers we are to dismiss everything prior bc he has a mental illness.
The plot makes no sense either. Inseob takes revenge out on wooyeon for Jennie, when it was shown that jennie had a tendency of lying. So he really just committed to taking revenge for fuck all when wooyeon never did anything nor remember who tf Jennie was. They also never address that inseob knew and met wooyeon in hs.
Assault and rape are not uncommon tropes in BL, but a lot of other stories add nuance and remorse so you empathize and understand. There really wasn’t any gradual character development for wooyeon either.
Wooyeon RAPES him in chapter 94, and then has a breakdown and they have sex after and wooyeon says, I might have to kill you bc I like you and you leave. Inseob gets fucking stabbed to the brink of death and upon his recovery and subsequent departure to America, wooyeon never visits or even says good bye. But they meet up at like chapter 106 or something so it’s ok? Cut the cameras. The amount of hate jinx got bc jaekyung was the most toxic top ever when wooyeon is toxic top final boss is astounding. This was a shit read, and the author should learn how to write characters without using rape for shock value.
I’m really trying to follow through here but man do this little twink pmo… it just the self deprecation and people pleaser pushover attitude. I CANT STAND IT, get up!!!! I understand that it’s natural predisposition to be that way, but that doesn’t make it any less frustrating. Jennie pmo so bad, wooyeon too. So far they all pissing me off lmao
48 chapters in and it’s like we only have tidbits of info. With there only being 108 chapters I feel like it’ll end up being rushed in the end.
I’m still gonna keep reading to see where this goes, but I’m skeptical…










does anyone know how many bonus chapters there are supposed to be for this? i want to read so bad, but i don't want to if it's not completed since i already finished the main story
prolly like 15 cus a few months back it left on a cliffhanger on side 10 till they disappeared
