Personal bias up front: I hate children so I'm not particularly mad there's none
Don't know what chapter it was, but during mc's (Hitomi I think)confession after the botched bj/before the super possessive stuff, ml (Kamiya ?) asks Hitomi if he wants children, & Hitomi replies "not especially but..." & then mentions the stuff Kamiya said in heat, to which Kamiya says something along the lines of he doesn't "have any strong feelings" about having children
While having children was a big part of the plot, I believe it was more like a tool to show Hitomi's anxieties about not providing enough comfort for Kamiya/easing his loneliness. I understand feeling let down by the lack of children if that's something you like in bl, I've had disappointmens too, but it makes sense they don't have any in the end imo.
I have terrible memory. I can't picture/remember faces, have a heard time recalling any of my childhood, & struggle to hold details if I'm not conscious of them. My only exception is songs, somehow.
I'm aware that Jooan isn't like me, but I relate to not knowing what life long friends like or are interested in. Sometimes you assume off of a couple of memories, sometimes you were never corrected, or the only times you remember had special circumstances, & one day you learn a fact you might've known about somebody but it feels new.
I don't know what my friends since maybe 6th(?) grade like to drink. While obviously Jooan & I have different reasons for this, seeing so many people mad that he doesn't know feels bad. There's probably a reason he thought it was sparkling water, or maybe Seojoon gets different drinks in different circumstances. Just had to comment since it hurt mah little soul #－.－)
Same, I don’t know if that’s just a problem I have but memorizing things is really hard for me, mainly about people or certain events.
A couple times as I was reading I remembered he used to be a high schooler that played basketball. The series, on the other hand, seems to have completely forgotten. I feel like a different backstory could have made Kouichi, & the whole story, so much more entertaining.
The biggest thing I'd wanna change is where he is in life when he's isekaied. I feel like a college au (probably 20 or early 20's) would give us something similar to his current story while not feeling as weird, but maybe I'm the only one still kinda icked whenever I remember how young he's supposed to be.
A bigger change, & better imo, is making him a lot older (probably 27-30 idk) & having him be in a job/earning a degree for something that would end up helping him be the ruler of a kingdom. A lawyer is my top pick, but a doctor in a fantasy world would be cool, or (even more out there) some type of electrician or mechanical engineer. I find it funny thinking of people that get isekaied explaining earth's "magic" of electricity since it's never in these worlds. I'm also a big older uke fan ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
It's obvious to me the story doesn't care about him being a human from earth given how they keep calling him a dwarf, & him having an actually compelling backstory would definitely change the plot as it is, but I believe it would be better. Maybe I'm the only one, but I had to tell somebody.
Unrelated to the rant, those uncensored panels went crazy shout-out to whoever uploaded them
This is so real istg, I got like a panic attack when Kouichi said he couldn't drink and I thought he was like under 18 or something
Girl that's 'The Affairs of the Other World Depend on the Corporate Slave' plot, you should read it if you haven't yet !
It's obvious The Titan's Bride was supposed to be a 'smut without plot' story but I don't know why the author stills write chapters about it, like Papa Datte, Shitai. But they didn't create the story with a big lore in mind so now it's hard to create plotlines that are interesting or relevant...
Omg late Christmas out here gifting a recommendation?? Ty, Imma go read it right now ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Just caught up to the series┗( T﹏T )┛it's so peak your honor why isn't there moarrr

I love the way that they talk(, they way that they walk, I love the way that they dress)
The absurd juggling in that season 3 finale has gotta be some intentional clownish tomfoolery, I refuse to believe an mfer somehow happened to fumble their way into that level of mess while still having clean paneling. if it was really out of order you can normally tell, the whole production crew just got shitfaced when they made it
No no it was in the right order wdym?
I know the panels are in the correct order since there's no weird cutting, but s3f was just so all over place in terms of which plotting we're following that it feels out of order. Ofc, I wrote this explanation assuming u weren't doubling down on the bit/were actually asking what I meant, if u were pls ignore (￣∇￣")
I see yeah I agree with you season 3 was a bit ok not bit a lot over the top
Istg don't act all cutesy putting his dick I ur mouth after saying "use it on me" mfer everyone knows that means HE RAILS U (/TДT)/ this shit is chekov's switch couple & so help me Jesus Christ, son of the Virgin Mary, imma devirginize everybody's skull with chekov's goddamn GUN if they don't swap eventually ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
*Chekhov, sorry
They don't switch. I think Della meant to use it on him, in his mouth. Like mouth fuck Della like a pro/man
Shhhhh ur probably maybe definitely right but I'm in deniallll ┗( T﹏T )┛
I used to like the secretary & the omega rat from the ops until recent affairs, & most of my like for them it's because I felt both mc's are way too stupid about the chairmanship ordeal. It's obvious that Yuhyeon wants to be chairman, so I don't know why Hyeondo thinks that bet still makes sense today. It's clear Yuhyeok has forgotten it (to a reader at least), but he shouldve asked during their meeting. Yuhyeok also should've just plainly said "you can have a kid with me if you give up the chairmanship & your stocks" since Hyeondo obviously wants him.
But no, neither of them know how to read a room, or negotiate, or sell somebody on an idea using things the person would care about. It's not like you'd need those skills in business right? (I'm not a ceo so maaaybe I'm wrong yk). The issues over the chairmanship are the main driving force behind the story, so I understand from a storytelling perspective that it can't be easily solved, but there can, there must, be better ways to create conflicts without making the main characters so incompetent.
I see a lot of people claiming Hyeondo is better than this & getting very mad at Yuhyeok mostly over 31, which I find mostly reasonable. The few issues I have with all of these takes are that:
- Yuhyeok has trusted Jinwon for ages, & it can be hard to fully accept something relationship shattering like that when your stressed & tired (which he likely has been ever since the dinner with his dad
- Jinwon seemed like he trying to prevent further mess before he caved to his instincts like a fucking dickwad & (from Yuhyeok's perspective) has never done anything like this before (being attracted to him) so Yuhyeok is probably confused
- he literally beat him up (over at least punched Jinwon until his nose bloody) so he was mad (saw people saying he wasn't)
- he knows Hyeondo is possessive & controlling, so obviously (at least to me) he's concerned about how Hyeondo will react (examples like trying to kill Jinwon, keep Yuhyeok locked at home "for his safety," & taking over his secretary's role which would cause more tension over the chairmanship)
While it really sounds like I'm dickriding Yuhyeok, please understand that I thought his determination to be chairman & attitude about being an omega in a position of power was cool & admirable. It's what kept me reading. I think he had amazing potential until the dumbass author decided to write in goddamn rape because I know it's gonna be handled terribly.
All this to say; I don't like Hyeondo, I think he's kinda stupid & too possessive in a story where I feel the uke doesn't deserve that. I dont like Yuhyeok, he's terrible at communicating/reading people & justice had his character ruined in one chapter. I have been very stressed & mad recently & this just ticked me off enough to rant. It's been about 26 minutes of very interrupted typing so if anyone actually read all of that & still wants more, ask away.
Nope, absolutely not. The anger/hate against Yuhyeon is absolutely justified.
Jinwon was already established as the alpha heir of Cheokwrong (or whatever they call that company) that Yuhyeon does business with. It was also implied that the company wants to own Yuhyeon's company
Plan A, Jinwon's father thinks the reason Jinwon defected is because working for Yuhyeon as a double agent and a spy that would gather and feed Intel to his own company.
Plan B, on discovering the deal the Chairman made with Yuhyeon, decides to make Yuhyeon their omega by getting him hitched to either Jinwon or the father himself. That is the reason why the father gave him the aphrodisiac, so Yuhyeon can become with kid, and so automatically, thereby getting the reins of Yuhyeon's company.
Yuhyeon knows this, he's not an idiot. Implied in his conversation with Jinwon. There's a reason why he took Jinwon in to rub it in the dad's face that he's using his heir as his lackey.
The only reason why Yuhyeon began to distance himself from Hyeondo was because his father (not Hyeondo himself) says he thought Yuhyeon and Hyeondo would mate which was why he gave him the ultimatum. Obviously, the dad is aware of Hyeondo's feelings, and is tired of the cat and mouse chase he thought the deal would make Yuhyeon mate with Hyeondo and he wins (he gets his grandbaby)
Annoyed at Hyeondo, Yuhyeon decides not to stay at his house but rather to live with his alpha secretary (ok homie)
BUT from Yuhyeon's perspective of the aphrodisiac scene, he saw water prepared for him by Jinwon, drinks it, get drugged and raped. On what Earth did it not even register to Yuhyeon that Jinwon is trying to get his company through this? That his loyalty was all a fake and in reality, he was still loyal to his father's company? He bitches about Hyeondo wanting the company, but why didn't he question Jinwon's loyalty at this point?
His secretary who is the heir to his fierce rival company, and that same rival company wants to own/buy out his own company, suddenly drugs him and raped him? And he didn't even think "wait a second"?
At least Hyeondo was pretty much clear he wants to be the chairman, but for all Yuhyeon's mind, Jinwon is a scheming guy who made him trust him all these years just to make him let his guard down and, drugged him and rape him to get him pregnant just so he can get his company. But instead, he tells him "use a condom at least", hears him out, BANDAGED him and by the end, is so nonchalant about it. Why does he gets a pass and Hyeondo doesn't? Why does he gives Hyeondo so much flake but forgives Jinwon who for all he knows, is trying to get into his pants so HE can get his company. Which is the bigger betrayal?
I completely missed/willfully forgot a lot of Yuhyeok's hypocrisy in his treatment of Hyeondo & Jinwon that you highlighted when I wrote that, mostly becaused I enjoy writing for a team/bias normally (I'm usually chill irl so being opinionated online is fun) & I think my biases were worse because of how stressed I have been. I'll probably need to reread to give myself a proper chance to reform an opinion, but your reply is very convincing & well written so thank you!
