Teehee's Topics (13)

There isn't much to say, it's pretty solid and cute at the end, I just have a couple of peeves. If Rui always likes Shion ever since before he turned into a woman, why does he continue to have one night stands with other women? Wouldn't it be technically cheating on his feelings? I feel like this was never addressed

Also, the age diff between Hajime and Hodaka gave me a little bit of the icks. We know that Hajime is the friend of his father's (iirc) and we saw a panel of younger Rui and Hajime playing chess, it looks like quite a big age diff (at the very least by 7 years). Since Hodaka and Rui are both Uni students, so around the same age, doesn't that make the situationship a little inappropriate?

Also also, Shion, Rui, Hodaka and Hajime are now all criminals. Hodaka for attempted SA, kidnapping and drugging, Hajime for human experiments and illegal production/distribution of unlicensed drugs. Rui and Shion both for drugging and essentially kidnapping Hodaka - which they didn't report to the police for.

These are just nitpicks of mine, it's just a doujin made for gooning. It's pretty good in terms of storyline and character development

I finished reading and honestly, I kind of disagree with the comments that its peak. The plot itself isn't necessarily the bad part, the first arc in the Abyss Game is rather interesting and the way Wang Zixin (Prince) outsmarts the loopholes is quite smart, but other than that and the art, I don't really enjoy the other parts all that much.

The way that they got shoved into another story(?) is a little disconnected in terms of pacing and feels a little unnecessary, especially how the last part of the second perpetrator for the wrongful imprisonment was essentially spedran in an exposition slideshow. It was much shorter compared to the Abyss Game, isn't much in terms of driving the plot not character development and is just used to create more romance driven scenarios.

The romance is another problematic part. Prince saw Abyss as like his own child at first then supposedly fell for him into something more, an adult with a mentally and emotionally underdeveloped person who is essentially like a 8-year-old (counting from his first consciousness in the lab to current ending him). Also, Prince preferring a more obedient and ignorant Abyss in a power dynamic stance is extremely sus not gonna lie.

All in all, read this without thinking nor reading too much into it as a brainrot story. It's not BAD bad, it's just a little shaky at best.

First of all, it's not even completed and so it feels like it's been dropped without any resolution. It's such a shame that the art is so pretty and the story is similar to omegaverse plot that it's an interesting spin on the trope, but instead we got rape, grooming, slavery, torture, incest and SA. Jueyue being canonically 18 in this life being manipulated and essentially forced into sex with his 300 year old master, the power dynamic is horrifying and toxic, especially that Kongying fucked him over in both lives just to covet him in the name of love. That's not love, that's obsession.

I would maybe close one eye if Jueyue recovers his past live's memories and made the decision himself but nothing of the sort is shown, his past self actively pushes away and says no and still Kongying is a parasite that sticks to him despite truly bad. He's basically a yandere.

Zhinuan wanting his father (red haired immortal/human) is ew. Just ew. The biggest victims are truly Jueyue, Xiao LiaoLiao and a little bit of Xiao (red haired demon). Was hoping for a resolution, saw a glimpse of what it could be in a few chapters near the end because of poor uploading, but never saw how it got there and doesn't seem to have an ending anytime soon in terms of storyline. A shame that it ended up being just... Bad. There are plenty of good toxic couple stories out there, so far this is not one of them.

This would've been interesting if there weren't SO MANY things that's just frustratingly lacking. Each "story" is short, I get it, cus it's quick transmigration, but at least give us something to work with in terms of character development of Ling Qi, a little bit with his targets and a comprehensive storyline

Each "story" Ling Qi is either graped or in danger, which is fine, it can be worked with, but nothing else had come of it. Ling Qi doesn't process the fact that he was graped or almost died, never mentions them again. Then suddenly at chap 100+ it stays at where the Heavenly Palace is and everything went off the rails, Ling Qi is a reincarnation of someone important and he's actually from the Demonic side? (It was never foreshadowed so I'm just???) Idk if it's the shitty translation, but I'm getting a mental workout just trying to understand what the hell is going on

The story gets so incomprehensible that the only redeeming thing I feel is the art

I saw some comments that it's a nothing burger and I heavily disagree, while it's not a masterpiece like someone else said, it definitely is a pretty good read. It reinforces the importance of patience, communication and mutual understanding of each other's perspectives. They were young and immature, when they had a kink in their relationship, they had assumed and did what they did. Now they've grown up and learnt, so they can better themselves and move forward together

I also saw someone getting frustrated at Shinwoo at like chap 45? Because he's not getting over his trauma, like please. Trauma doesn't have a linear lime to recovery, it's in human nature to slip back into old habits. Plus, he's been living in that headspace for at least a decade, it's not easy to rewrite a narrative that's been cemented in his brain for the better part of his life. Give the man some grace and a break, he's been through enough, the most important thing he needs is time to unravel these thoughts and rewrite it

Also, it's definitely the parents' faults. Firstly, understand that they have their own things like dad needing to go work and mum in the hospital, even if they don't trust the aunt and grandma in taking care of the children, they could've at least hired a babysitter or ask a neighbor to look after Shinwoo and his brother. But nah, they left a what, 13 year old who's frontal lobe isn't even fully formed, neglected and forgotten, to take care of his little brother with medical issues alone? Now that's on you, don't blame the little boy for your faults. I get that the mum went through a lot, but it doesn't excuse the fact that she left Shinwoo in his time of need, in his most formative years of his youth, and never reached out for over a decade and ended having her step daughter to clear the air for her. First step is to admit your faults and take responsibility, lady

I absolutely love this webtoon but man am I slightly thrown off by the difference in art style. I mean, it's still kind of similar and the current art team is doing a great job emulating the old style, but the differences are a bit obvious like the faces and the other details. This is just a slight nitpick that doesn't change much.

The one that I'm still conflicted about is the pushing of Arthur x Tessia, I mean it's understandable where it comes from in Tessia's POV (much more than Lilia's and Kathlyn's crush), but I'm always a little conflicted when those scenes appear because Arthur is technically a middle aged man in a 17-year-old body romantically liking a definitely canonical 18-year-old girl. Plus, he is confessing before Tessia can make a well-informed decision based on the whole truth of his identity. Just like his parents, she would need time to think and adjust to the new info, or else it's just going to be a similar albeit much worse betrayal situation than keeping Cynthia's death from her

I'm always hesitant in liking ships that's pushed when life-changing information is kept from the other party, clear communication especially of one's identity can make or break the relationship. On top of that, I'd like them to explain specifically WHY they like each other romantically, not just becus they're childhood friends or they're physically attraction and strong

Honestly, the beginning half wasn't too bad. But the depth of the MLs' feelings are so shallow becus there just isn't enough development, like Kael feels like he can breathe around Jinsoo and has a crush to the point of obsession, ok fine that can make sense. But then his side of the development just completely disappears the moment Ian appears and maybe when he had that confrontation about his obsession but that's about it.

Then Cedric didn't even get a chance bro... Like he would feel indebted to Jinsoo for saving him and his family and feel smth for him, I get it but he barely even appears. Literally the only times he appeared subsequently was when Jinsoo is in trouble and need saving or the misunderstanding around Shae/Jina. Maybe I can close one eye and say that it shows that if u dun do smth about ur feelings, someone else will but like, Cedric didn't even have a chance.

Don't even get me started with Carsen. Honestly of all the male love interests, I dun really like the fact that he is the one Jinsoo ended up with. He's the only one that knew Maythan before Jinsoo took over and he's constantly obsessing over that version of him, that even at the end he still doesn't seem to be over with, that's just unhealthy and confusing Maythan with Jinsoo and vice verse. Then the multiple times he forced himself and assaulted Jinsoo??? Once when he was inebriated and unable to consent, twice when he fking said no! He also semi-threatened Jinsoo to keep his promise and saying that he could've kidnapped and locked him up but he didn't is supposed to be romantic?? Nope, he is a red flag and I hate the fact that he was the one given so many chances in the story to develop smth with Jinsoo. Even Kael has more character development than him, though not much better considering he also forced himself onto Jinsoo and kept touching him. Literally Cedric is the only one who kept Jinsoo's freedom, consent, safety, feelings and respecting his boundaries in mind

I'm no stranger to manhwas with r*pe to redemption arcs, but this is just so underdeveloped. We don't really see why the master is so loyal to the former king until near the end and even with the flashback, we still don't know why he's always looking back at him. The deal was that he would get answers for his father's death (which was never answered and barely brought up) and we still don't get anything for learning this.

Also why did the master fall in love with the new king?? Yes they're the end goal but could we at least have a viable reason why and how?? It just feels like he got r*ped, then fell in love with his r*pist/student and f*ck u to those who care about proper pacing.

The new king then somehow bagged him by what? Essentially testing him, r*ping him, not taking in consent and appropriate timing (he kept trying to start a round when the master tried to talk about something serious), whine and take out his anger at him by banging him. Also also, the ankle chain (which I keep forgetting it's there) has been on him since the very start of the manhwa, there are times when it didn't appear but honestly it's quite forgettable, then he still has it on until the very end?? Wow, such love. Wow, such healthy relationship. Wow, the new king really took accountability for his mistreatment and actions towards the master especially literally the first few chapters with implied r*pe

I'm dropping this at chapter 68. Idk if it's the translation, but the story makes little sense to me. At first it was fine, it was the typical revenge and hurting of the uke for what happened in the past, but then story beats started repeating of the Male Interest (MI) begging and forcing ML to stay while ML trying to get away. The amnesia part is so meaningless and short that it adds absolutely nothing, then the turn around of the ML getting back with the MI after a quick misunderstanding explanation. Then their safety is at risk but their plot armor is so strong, it summons other characters to help in the nick of time. Little is built up on the relationship and dynamic between them that it's not even emotionally triumphant, more characters are added that had no prior build up like ML's cousin and childhood friend relationship. Things are happening for the sake of happening, it's repetitive and there's no build up

Waiting for more chapters to drop, but man, both stories are just painfully mirroring each other. The way both father and son finally realized their mistakes and hurt their most beloved so deeply to the point of death. History truly repeats itself and screws over the one who doesn't deserve it the most. Both Shen Yu and Li Qing, just because they're beautiful, others kill to covet them while they got thrashed around from one hardship to another with no freedom or autonomy, having no choice in their situations and yet having to carry unimaginable pain. It's already a miracle in itself that Xuan Xian managed to win Shen Yu's heart again, but the other couple will have an even harder time getting past past transgressions.

I'm a little miffed that we were just dropped with the Hong Lian and Song Qing mini arc with little to no backbone, then suddenly Li Qing is their adopted son. I kind of wish we get to see this part so it hits much harder knowing the truth earlier about Li Qing's past
