I remember my young self seeing this manhwan in the official webtoon banners and has around 30 chapters. I was waiting for it finish so I could read it until I abandoned that app and completely forgotten about this. But now, behold, after years of waiting, I had finally finished reading! And I must say, this is 100% peak. Every character was memorable and so are their scenes, plot moved me, it could move mountains on its own. From chapter 1 to the last chapter of season 3, it never killed my interest and kept my attention to the story.
However I have one criticism. Where the hell is their wedding?!?!? I WANT MY SOOHYUK AND WOLFGANG WEDDING OH MY GOD, EPSILON AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS YET STILL NO WEDDING AT THE END?!?!?? I'm gonna cry so hard I'll make my own sea and name it after them.
Nevertheless, beautiful. Soooo beautiful. As beautiful as shin soohyuk, and as beautiful as wolfgang's love for him. Childhood friends to lovers trope done right!
This is fucking beautiful what the fuck. Yearner top, strong willed bottom, mpreg, heartbreaking backstory, top tire characterization, beautiful dialogues, I will die in this hill with them. I wish to see my nephew yi gang grow, I beg the heavens, I want to see the child grow.
I read this because people had been saying this is really angsty but honestly, its not that much. It has a good amount of angst. This story felt more like in a melancholic tone. The feeling was in every chapter. The narration and art was obviously handled with care and love every panel that not even once they missed. This isnt heartwrenching in a way that everybody are posing as but this is definitely a pain you would feel for a very long time, lingering at the corner of your heart and would resurface from time to time.
They are not characters, they are alive. Hakyung breathe and speaks beside you, telling him his story. You were there with him when it happens. And you watched Yoonsung love and fell in love a little more as time goes by. Reunion may not have made me cry like a baby, but their story will stay inside my heart. They will never be forgotten, just as how yoonsung's love will always remember hakyung.
Ngl the way the story was weaved was really good. The ending felt a bit rushed though, but overall, this is good. Soohan reminds me of shen jiu so much. I just knew impregnating that scum villain can cure him and soohan is the evidence. I love soohan and yeonseo. Me loves a devoted crybaby top
I'll miss these two. Just exactly my type of top and bottom. Greatest combination of all times.
F**k, she's so annoying, but she so f**king hot what the hell. Why does she have to be the type of women I go for? I hate her, but I love her. Maybe I am Ah-young. Maybe she is me.
I need more chapters of them being together! I want to see them struggle for being an alphaxalpha pair! I wanna see their relationship getting stronger and finally introducing each other to their parents! I want more jewon overcoming his insecurities and jushin giving him the right amount of affirmation! I want more of them uwaaaahhh!
I barely read yuri since I couldnt help but feel uncomfortable from my self projection but now that I've moved on, I finally get to appreciate yuri! Funny how some scenes here also happened to me. "Oh she lies to others? Well she told me she doesnt wanna lie to me and will never do that", "oh, a sudden kiss on the cheek? Yeah she freaking did that as well". Only difference is atleast blondie likes Ju-ah and I got played :P
This is such a safe story to start exploring the theme of bdsm. There might be not much terminologies it could teach you but it will atleast show you how healthy the scene could be. Since bdsm seemed to be a hardcore thing that only "freaks" would go for, this story will show you that yes, light bdsm exist and there is no need to treat people who are into it as "freaks", plus, it is only scary if you dont fully trust your play partner.
Building trust, opening yourself to try things, scratching out other plays if your partner is not into it, communicating with your partner, taking things slow, both having command while doing it, almost everything is here. I love this so much.
This is fucking messy. They add one plot bridge after another for the sake of drama. A foreshadow would have been VERY nice, you know. And who the fuck is Mr. Seo?? Why introduce a character literally at the last freaking chapter, he wasnt even relevant at this point. This was really good, I love the story as a concept itself but the way it was told is just nuh-uh.
The locking yoonjae up part was just so unnecessary, and ML kept making me shout "what the fuck is stopping you!" for the nth time every time he kept dodging the question and not telling MC the truth. This could have ended if he just told MC everything after finally finding him, but since this is a story, drama is necessary, however they could have put him in a worse situation that really actually prevents him from speaking but NO. He's already at the top of the food chain and nobody could touch him so seriously what the fuck was stopping him?
The cousin was a big lost too, he was clearly used as a plot device despite looking so important to them, they could have utilized him more. Plus, planting the ugly twink esper as a spy inside the association wasnt utilized too, bro literally did nothing for the terrorist peeps.
*Sighs* overall, plotwise 10/10, but because of the execution and storytelling it's a 5 for me. Such a big waste, honestly. This could have been an all time guideverse banger if it was told really well.
That last illustration, is that claire with her twin siblings?? URGHHURGHURGHH THEYRE SO CUTE UWAAAHH
Its been a while since I liked both couples. Sihyeon and baekkyun are adorable as fuck man. And really love how seonwoo got fucked figuratively and literally. I dont dislike any of them, maybe because I get to understand each of their side. For some reason, I feel way empathic way than normal. I get that there are parts where some of them act like a bitch, but they had their own reasons, not to defend them but for them to be understood. Basically what taesoo did to seonwoo, he wasnt really completely enabling seonwoo, he was just understanding the reason behind those actions. Anyway, good read, didnt expect that.
THIS IS SO CUUTTEEEEEE. I DONT EVEN LIKE DOGS THAT MUCH BUT GODDAMNIT HEESEONG IS A TEACUP MALTESE HOW CAN HE NOT BE CUTE. EVEN CHIYOUNG'S WOLF FORM IS SO FUCKING CUTE RAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
My who body shook, broke out in cold sweat, felt lightheaded, wanted to cry but no tears coming out, and a lot of negative emotions due to a fucking misunderstanding, I feel so pathetic I just wanna laugh at myself. I cursed the whole guild for not changing their name due to it being named after ano, thinking that ano as andante's ex lover and that he still had not moved on, wished death for all the guild members for cheerishing ano yet treated hyoseop like he was nothing, JUST FOR ANO TO BE CODA'S LOVER AND ANDANTE'S BROTHER?!??!
BOY I TELL YOU, THE BETRAYAL I FELT IN BEHALF OF HYOSEOP WAS WAY INTENSE I FELT MY OLD TRAUMA OPENING! I had war flashbacks when I saw that hyoseop was a mere second choice and was never and will never be part of onaip no matter how strong he is or whatever he do. For the first time in the whole story, I agreed with yoo jin despite me being so freaking annoyed by him, I just wanted hyoseop to resign and leave that bitchass andante. I was so sure he was an asshole who never loved hyoseop and wanted to use him only as a mere guide and as ano's rebound that no matter what he said, I couldnt believe any of it. My anger and feeling of being betrayed only died down when coda said ano was his lover lol
Anyway this is a good fucking read I speedrun it for 12 hrs, I just wished it didnt end with just a one single chapter. I dont even know the reason why yoo jin quit nsa, I need explanation to that as well. Hyoseop my baby, I will protect you, even if it means killing andante that motherfucking bastard.
I cried so hard I thought I was the one getting broken hearted. Both of them reminded me bits of myself that I cried myself to sleep. It's so fucking good and fucking toxic, I will die for this. I love how they took time to reflect on themselves, nevertheless, still decided to stick to each other. Yijun is a goated bottom, standing up for himself. We love a bottom who knows self respect. I wish we got more of the hyun x sunbae side couple though, I feel pretty curious about their past connection, and you know, for more healthier relationships out here after all the hurt and hate and pain.
From peak toxic to peak green flag. Either of the two, I would not complain I like both. The crown prince despite looking like a walking fake doll with a big head, is cute. I wish the young maid servant will get whatever she wants in her life too because she's one of the best characters here. The plot was also plotting, love the redemption arc literally taking a hundred years before he could make it up to him.
Ngl this is gooooood. The plot was plotting. I guess my only critic is how I wish they made the "falling in love" progress more expanded to make it more make sense for us bc honestly, the potential was there. The reason was right in front of us, it's just too tiny to see. But I love this. I love older bottoms a lot and mentally ill tops so that a big plus plus plus.
