fascinating how same manhwa authors can complete an entire fully fleshed out complex story in 10-20 chapters and some can somehow put out 17 chapters without a single hint of an actual plot that goes beyond the depth of a puddle.. another case of good art slop plot
OOMFFF ur right but also this is still entertaining i cant lie also if they have a twist (ex. bottom is depressed and using sx for trauma relief etc etc) i think it would actually save plot
HMMM i think so too but for some reason i doubt there will actually be anything substantial occurring ngl☠☠☠ the tone does not lend itself to anything serious like this was fr 17 chapters of nothing developing but im gonna give it till like ch.30 before i completely write it off cuz the art is cute
it’s giving study abroad love-bombing-situationship final boss
wtf
iykyk
everyone saying this is nothingburger or boring just isn’t used to reading good storytelling where the author develops a narrative that has actual bearing on the plot & characters
No fr everyone’s forgotten the art of slowburn, story building, and tension rising..it makes the wait so worth it and exciting when something happens because it’s all been building up. And we’re only like..thirteen chapters in
i had low expectations for something titled ‘the king of home dating’ but omg this is AMAZING. the pacing is perfect, the character arcs make sense & the characters fluctuate and act in ways that fit with everything that’s established about who they are and their motives, and the story has so many complex relationships without feeling too bogged down. ch41 tied everything together so subtly yet perfectly… jooyeong lashing out & jeonghan saying i love u…. showing not telling how jeonghan has matured while jooyeong is stuck in the past…. one thing a lot of bls drop the ball on is building multiple (aka mc and ml) well developed narratives simultaneously and this author does it perfectly. sooo excited for the next season, im so impressed so far~~~~~

im sorry this pissed me off so bad. woojung is a terrible character and it’s because he’s badly written. he takes in jiho out of the supposed kindness of his heart, is super patient w him, gives him space, picks up on the subtle hints that he went thru severe abuse/trauma, blah blah blah the point is, for the first 20 chapters the author is VERY CLEARLY illustrating the sort of altruistic character woojung is. that’s why it doesn’t make sense that he’d suddenly accept jihos advances. the age part is hilariously stupid (seriously? you act all moral that hes a minor and then the second he turns 18 you have no second thoughts? give me a break), but worse than that is the fact he totally has some sort of idea of what jiho went through, ie using his body/sex in a transactional manner AS A MINOR, yet somehow he doesn’t put two and two together that jiho making advances on him is a side effect of that? is he that much of a predatory dumbass or just badly written? by the way this is going, im inclined to think the latter. btw i don’t care about age gap i don’t think it’s taboo but rather can be very interesting, its just the way this is written is not consistent which is what pisses me off. if your story is solely about two characters and one of them is this badly written, it’s hard to take your writing seriously. the worst part is im going to keep reading to see if this shit could possibly be redeemed. either way this was a huge waste of time. projection mogs
they hate on you for speaking the truth
idk bro u say huge waste of time, yet u you still picked it up (idk if you finished it or not) and also come back to hate on another reader 5 days later (??? On ur mind much?) — anyways, badly written or not, it’s all subjective, you can have ur opinion but man ur so hateful, just leave fr if you think it’s so terrible, no need to hate on the people that made it, go read smth else. Or maybe u finished it and realized that characters aren’t as simple as being nice or mean, they have other reasons that u find out as you keep reading — to have such a black and white view of the characters at the beginning of the story is your own fault as a reader.
‘you say huge waste of time yet you still picked it up’ um, yes. that’s how you form opinions, by reading and deciding for yourself what you think. obviously i didn’t know it would be ass when i initially decided to read it. what kind of stupid ass statement is that. maybe higher your standard for the bl you read, because everything i said has merits even if my delivery wasn’t sugarcoated for the sensitive 14 year olds on mangago
media literacy is dead
Yk what mb, i kinda feel bad for you bc u didn’t enjoy it as I did but u got the right to ur own opinions— I dont think the writing was bad nor were the characters, just not ur style so I don’t understand why you’d put urself through 80-so chapters of “trash” but it’s not kind to shit on others who like like it
also, idk where you got the idea that jiho had been using his body/sex for transactions as a minor— he only pick pocketed, was beat up by his drunk dad, abandoned by his montrer, ran away from home and lived in an abusive facility but he never sold his body before he met woojung. And how is woojing badly written? As you find out later, he didn’t take in jiho out of the kindness of his heart— he was bored with life and made the spontaneous decision to take him in. Was he really portrayed as super kind? He was kinda cold to jiho at the start, aloof, annoying but also dependable. I agree, it’s kinda weird that he, as a prosecutor and upholder of justice, would be so okay with having sex with someone who barely turned 18, but it has been established that he isn’t a fully moral character and has his own flaws. However, they match each other well as flawed characters and help each other be better people. Anyhow, you act like, reading this is absolute torture but guess what bro, it’s mangago and there’s much more “trash” waiting to be read by you!!
