“Even I have things I won’t back down for.” over nipple play is crazy of him cuz what do you mean that’s where you draw the line
I know the author wanted this to be a slow burn, but this is just too much. Especially when we’re seeing absolutely no empathy from Jaekyung even after he saw the state Dan was in… at this point I feel like there’s no bringing back the characters from this.
What does her having a shitty childhood have to do with their relationship? I’m really struggling to see how her trauma is related at all to the potential homophobia they might face in a small village. And just cuz other people will judge them and be disapproving doesn’t mean you have to follow what other people think and how they act according to that homophobia? Like, just cuz everyone else is an ass doesn’t mean you have to be too for the sake of blending in. And if the author wanted to address the potential homophobia and if they are ready to commit to that, there were ways to do that which would’ve made more sense. Especially since their communication thus far has been good and they address things directly like adults.
I understand that he’s coming from a place of thinking she’s some sort of spoiled noble lady, but that doesn’t excuse him ignoring her emotions and opinions repeatedly. While they both could communicate better, it feels like he’s making a lot of assumptions and using those assumptions as an excuse to infantilize and disrespect her. He’s constantly treating her like her supposed life experience of being a spoiled noble lady would have had no struggles, which is just disrespectful in my opinion. Like, everyone has their own struggles in life regardless of if they were worse than his or not it doesn’t mean that it’s any less valid. And yes, I understand that it’s coming from a place of concern but it’s just annoying to see him repeatedly take out his anger on her. Honestly she’s been just as frustrating, but as of right now the author has only informed us of her past so it’s all we can work with in the context of their relationship until author clues us in on where Riftan is coming from and why he’s acting like a dipshit.
Why does it suddenly feel like this plot point is moving super fast? Like Luis Everett was just brought back up a couple chapters ago ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Okay I know I may be boo boo the fool but who is Louis again? Who is Louis everett?
Liliana’s father, the little girl living with them.
Oh ok..OK... I was all confused
Maybe I’m just traumatized by all the previous bl I’ve read but they’re so happy it’s making me really nervous
SAMME i keep wanting to have bad thoughts about pookie LIKE THE GIRL I WAS SITTING THERE LIKE "would he rllyyy be doing them both"
This honestly has a very similar dynamic to the typical relationships we see in these stories: a damsel in distress, a big miscommunication, and a strong lead. Only the strong lead is the woman and the man is following her lead. He relies on her to fix things and provide him happiness because he knows she’s more than capable, while also supporting her with his own strength. This is really refreshing, especially with how whipped he is. I feel like this story is really well written and I wish more female lead characters were written this way.
Leading you on? LEADING YOU ON?! Are you fucking kidding me?! You thought to yourself “this kid looks and acts pretty innocent” and then didn’t think to make your intentions clear after realizing that about him?! I wish I could reach through the screen and slap the shit out of this soggy little rice ball of a man (╬￣皿￣)凸
He only said that to hurt him. He knows Yeomin is naive and that he took a liking to him. He has fun toying with other people's emotions it seems.
If we’re gonna go down a yuri sort of route I want Seria’s knight as the love interest, not this crazy woman (￣∇￣")
That ending feels kinda rushed tbh… like it feels like they spent so long building up so much tension between the two only for it all to end in one conversation with an expositional dump. I’m happy with the ending, but it’s just really fast compared to all the other plot points that were more drawn out.
Thats the thing, they skipped so many parts in the novel. You should just go read the novel version to be honest to get the full story. I recommend finding the chapter when andante finds him the first time, when he was staying with the old man after running away
