I read the novel and then reread the whole manhwa again.
This isn’t really a romantic series, nor does it intend to be. It’s not *not* romantic, it’s just very aware of its genre. Hence the name. The best possible ending for this series is that the ML becomes obsessed with and fancies himself in love with the MC. The MC is shown to be fairly simple (not stupid! He’s actually very hard working and resilient). He wants a stable life and his grandma taken care of. Once he has those things. He’s fairly content.
So, it’s not a complicated series and the resolution is pretty clearly laid out. It has a predicable end.
I think the only liiiiitle bit of frustration I have is for the MC. He’s not the smartest but he was getting by! He was so hard working a diligent, and outside of being scammed, he was making smart choices and responsible for his own life.
You can see that resourcefulness when he runs away. Again, he’s not some super genius but he’s practical and hard working.
I think in the end, it’s that same resilience that allows him to find happiness with the ML. He’s able to find contentment even in bad situations, and I gotta admire that survival skill.
Anyway, I think this story delivered exactly what it promised, and had a more romantic and happy ending than I expected.
I agree. Ty for saying it
Ty so much for saying that and btw can you give me the novel name? (ty so much <333)
Ummmmm. Where to begin with this story. It’s a lot like the other stories this author writes. Tons and tons of sex. Bottom is dumb as rocks but seems like he was kinda groomed that way lol. Lots of freaky tentacle sex and can get downright creepy/horror at times.
White haired top is shady but Bada seems to really love the stupid bottom. The cat turns into a cat boy version of the bottom lol
Has a thing with the white haired top.
I wouldn’t call this story romantic, very sex heavy with supernatural elements. Not really my cup of tea.
dude i need help if u dont mind im at my wits end trying to understand what is happening, are the two tops the same? whats the connection with the two tops? it seems theyre a royalty of some sort
No clue. They’re not the same person but they have the same name (Mare - which means sea hence the title). So maybe two different versions of the same person? Bada (which also means sea in Korean, lol), seems to have saved the MC’s life at some point.
But I’m not sure if he’s from the alternate world or from earth originally.
just so weird cause im pretty sure bada also had a white long hair and same clothes as the other guy when he visited the earthand saved a woman. thank you btw
This deserves to continue
Come back from hiatus pls!!!
(Y’all read novel chapters 190-195 to see the devotion no matter what timeline)
This is like the make tame in this series and it’s still fucked
No one should be allowed to have a gun in this series
The hospitals are making bank
They must die if they actually effectively communicate
Women we there to either be crazy, the villains, for jealousy , or the background supporting characters
And yet I cannot look away. As Marie Kondo once said “I love mess”
I think this is the rare case where the bottom became less of a twink as the series progressed. Compare current chapter him to first or second chapter. I’m not mad. A surprise to be sure but a pleasant one
can't agree more, a nice sight
It’s finally happened. I am the same age as old man Yaoi
Congrats to the “old” men blowing each other’s backs out. Remember to do some strength training and mobility exercises for a better sex life as you get older (no joke, something my doctor told me recently)
I’m always conflicted about this….
On one hand, coercion… on the other, MC knows the influence he has on ML and is fine using that for his own gain (as his manager) SK he’s also using coercion. It’s a mess. It’ll work out but the start to their relationship is… a mess.
It’s not just the stripes, I think the MC has the most generic face ever. It’s hard to take everyone hitting on him seriously when he looks like the most boring, nondescript person ever. Especially next to the ML. Even the side characters look unique and interesting and he just looks like he could be an NPC. That would be totally fine, if the manhwa didn’t keep trying to convince us that he’s supposed to be very attractive.
Also, re: the stripes… I get that it might have been a thing in the novel (I can’t remember if it was when I MTL’d it), but when it’s executed in a visual media like this manhwa, it looks ridiculous. Some artistic license should be allowed so that the MC doesn’t look like a cartoon character with only one outfit.
I am still buying the series, but it’s because the plot is interesting. If he continues to look like Waldo the whole time, istg…
It might be the glowing, porcelain skin imo not just the face~ I think hes pretty cute and also his naivety is a plus charm too
This is just misery porn
70+ chapters of the MC being beat down with tiny glimmers of hope. I’m done. Even if they’re is done grand revenge or happy ending, it’s too late.
The way I stumbled across this after I met a former classmate and found out she’s married to our old chemistry teacher lol
(Way way way after we graduated from high school. They ran into each other 13 years after graduation… plus he was like 25 when we were 18). But how funny to see a manga with the same premise.
