i just thought this was gonna be the typical transported-into-a-fantasy-world plot, but it really quite is different from that. i thought huimin (MC) was gonna have to go through all the "dark romance" stuff that happened in the book he read and guessed that this was gonna be another glorified non-consensual-stockholm-syndrome-type story, but i really love that he was hellbent on making sure that the events in the book never happened— he's such a great character, and i love that he didn't take anyone's shit !! iheon (ML) was alright, he cracks me up sometimes and he's super attractive, as much as he is a pain in the ass as a character, but i respect him for also trying to actively change his past mistakes and prioritize making huimin happy until the end. i also love the plot twist in the end— it takes this isekai-type plot to a whole new level, as much as it was a little confusing LOL overall, this was a really great story, i enjoyed everything about it, and the artstyle is also gorgeous. kudos to the og author and the artists !!
i read this story on a whim and THANK GOD I DID !! at first, i was a little concerned about luke having a gf, since i have read a couple stories where the MC will self-sabotage their relationship with the ML bc of internalized homophobia and would rather force themselves to date their female partner, rather than accept that they're gay— however in luke's case, he was quite calm and accepting of his sexuality, and was able to healthily communicate his struggles with andrew as their relationship progressed. on that note, andrew is such an enigma !! his past was so interesting, and i wish we could've seen him interact with his father in the present, and maybe even have him meet luke. their relationship was quite healthy, and i like the reassurance that they gave each other (moreso luke towards andrew lol), plus the additional cast were amazing !! w malcolm
