Been marinating dis for YEARS, is it almost done??? Should I wait longer or just start reading now?
I don’t feel the love? It’s shallow. Their feelings aren’t strong and passionate enough. All they do is fk and hang out. 24 chapters in and that’s my conclusion.
In the mood for a shounen Ai that’s really good at building the romantic mood between characters and they kiss and hug a lot, sometimes they blush just from the slightest body touch!
I’m not interested in them having sex or even half censored sex. Just want fluff!
PLEASE GIVE ME some recommendations!
I’m so fking tried of her weak ass, “damsel in distress,” y/n, twinky son. He’s so infuriating. Like BRO stop complaining and crying, acting like your tears will actually solve anything? He’s a prisoner of his own prison. Actually, every character in here is lame and boring EXCEPT Empress Leona Herace. She’s the only one with a backbone in this story. She’s the only one that’s driven with sincerity to the point she’ll do anything to get something done. Her son on the other hand? “Omg mommy I can’t take these drugs anymore, they’re too painful..” STFU! AND TAKE THEM! BE A MAN! GROW UP! And if it’s THAT painful, put yourself out of that misery or try running away!! I seriously can’t get through 5 more chapters of his BS... I’m low-key dropping this gang. Story became buns so quick just cuz of this stupid weak willed MC.
But the mother is my favorite character still 40+ chapters in. Gotta love a hungry, goal-oriented, evil queen! <33
Idky I feel like the author somehow ended up giving her the most personality out of all of these characters.
Only reason why I’d stick around and finish reading this is for her.
All the budget goes into the sex scenes and when they’re naked! lmao! The sudden glistening skin, the sweat rolling down the abs, the blush on the nipple, and the glow on the tip of their veiny dicks HAHA dude! I LOVE THIS haha lol!! I can’t even NAME all the sudden details
It’s alright? Out of 5 stars I’d give 2.5 to 3.
Story is lackluster. Has a lot of potential but the main character is just toooo overpowered. I get that he wasn’t all that and a bag of chips in his previous life but now his 2nd life is just too easy imo. Everything is on easy mode, he doesn’t struggle enough. He’s got it all. He doesn’t need to train his body that much cuz he’s naturally gifted, and all of a sudden he can be a legendary swords man or the heir of a prominent household. Like seriously? He has options to pick and choose from? And both garnering epic results? Life is a breeze for him. And not to mention whenever he’s troubled he resolves the problems too quickly and too easily. Everything goes too smoothly, everything is going his way. That’s why it’s not satisfying when he resolves conflicts. It’s just anti climatic. It just gets to a point where things are too predictable.
Let me just say, so far, I haven’t found a Korean action comic that can rival “the ember knight” due to all of the things I mentioned above. I’d reread “the ember knight” ten times over before I try picking this back up again. It’s THAT GOOD. Plot? Unpredictable. Characters? They grow on you and they’re not instantly overpowered so their growth is satisfying. MC’s life? NOT EASY lol, he struggles to achieve what he ends up with. Gosh, I can’t sing it enough praise.
Also if you’re looking for a similar comic where the main character is the “black sheep” of the family and has to strategically win the favor of basically everyone around them, I 100% recommend “death is the only ending for the villainess” unlike in this comic it took basically nothing to win back the favor of his dad… but whatever. His life is on EASY mode.
2.5/5 stars
Ngl this whole story was super wholesome! I just wish his lil sisters had more screen time! Or even his family in general. I love stories that have a lot of family interactions on the side! It’s so slice of life ugh
If y’all have recommendations please let me know! Idc if it’s not a BL lol I just love family stuff in general.
I’m on chapter 4 and so far I’m getting the same vibe of “Alice Academy” based off how suspiciously “peaceful” the school appears to be.
Idk I do badly want to read this but I can’t turn my brain off whenever these stories have the older ML literally RAISE the younger one from infancy/youth/childhood to adulthood.. that’s basically his adoptive son in my eyes.
And I’m on chapter 2 now! Idk did any of y’all read this thinking this way but just brushed it off somehow?
The bottom being older, masculine and a mafia boss on top of all of that is just sooo appealing to me. I just wish he met the Fox or Wolf guy when he was already an adult. Him raising the hybrid himself even if it was for 2 years… just doesn’t sit right with me. They’re father and son for all I care. Dam… ugh I can’t shake this feeling. I had this marinating for soooo long too. </3
My moral compass is going haywire.
Art style is HEAVILY reminding me of Boys Over Flowers right now with their facial expressions and how their faces are drawn overall. Sigh
I love the art style! There’s so much expression in just the eyes alone, which leaves me in awe.
It’s almost rare to come across an art style that could effortlessly convey the emotions of the characters with their expression alone. Their words here don’t need to be used as support. Their furrowed brows say enough.
What’s the point in the official translation when it’s almost arguably worse than the fan translation?
I’m dead
Idk I don’t care much for the art style change, the story itself is captivating enough for me to not mind it. It didn’t ruin anything at all for me, in fact it just took a little getting used to! I wish they continued with this story, it was a great read.
Frick, the last panel of chapter 30 when evil Cole said “while I was investigating you, I decide to give you a new code name.. want to know what it is?” pause .. “your new code name is…” gulp… “dear Benjamin” CHILLS! WTH I got maaadd goosebumps. Gosh. Perfect delivery.
