Just gotta say, I tried to read the book this webtoon is based on, and it's awful. Brandt is so unlikable; the internalized homophobia is way worse since you get to read his full thoughts; and the sex scenes are terribly described (they're like something right out of a nifty story). This webtoon adaptation is way better, since the sex stuff is all visual here and it cuts out some of Brandt's assholishness.
I got it off of IRC (which, lol, I doubt many people know how to use), but it looks like it's here on Mobilism? Not sure if the download links will work, though.
The novel has problems but the homophobia talk flew over your head then since it was what was actually interesting in it. wuf
It wasn't for me, tbh. Stories with queer characters are escapism for me and I don't like a lot of homophobia in the media I consume, especially with book!Brandt being such a jerk about it. Maybe you can tolerate it, but I can't.
Granted, i think the webtoon absolutely Missed the Point by not including the lines about how it sucks to be fighting in the military for a country that doesn't accept your sexuality, but since this is a Korean-created adaptation, t's obvious why it isn't there.

do you have a link to the book? I'm interested in reading more about it.
