JK and Garam are in the wrong. One because he is too impulsive and reckless without taking time to consider his lover perspective, the other because his insecurities are eating him alive and making him self sabotage his relationship and also being very condescending of his partner feelings and efforts because or that.
Garam came from a terrible environment, yes, but as someone who also came from one that doesn't give you a Free Pass into being an insecure dick and hurting your SO.
JK was angry because of the birthday issue, but he still prepared something he thought was romantic and beautiful for his boyfriend. Garam reacted very badly to it. He didn't even explain it well. In a third person eyes, (and probably JK) looks like reluctance to a commitment. Like, you don't tell me about your birthday, you don't even want my heartfelt gift, so what is this relationship about them? What do you want from me?
JK was also in the wrong for reacting so violently, instead of trying to talk it out, which made it worse. But okay, couples fights, misunderstandings are a thing. They took a night to sleep separately and 'cool off'.
Then the next day the issue with coming out to his friends. Here both of them are also in the wrong. First, JK, that's not a place to come out. You can do so in a more private place. Maybe he thrust his friends that much, maybe he really is that confident and doesn't give a shit, but there are time and places for everything.
Second, Garam. He isn't wrong for not feeling comfortable coming out. HOWEVER he is wrong for forcing JK to stay in the closet with him without any kind of plan for the future. He is JK boyfriend, not his fuckbuddy. Here he is actively sabotaging his relationship trying to use the moral high ground of "this is for JK's sake" when is not. It's just him. He is scared and instead of expressing his feelings and thoughts to his lover he, instead, resort to patronize his "this is for your own good" "I know better" mentality (a self protecting mechanism probably) while at the same time showing JK that he doesn't have any kind of plan for the future. No commitments. No nothing.
The rest is just both of them shoveling deeper into the pit of anger, regret, fear and miscommunication. Unless they can properly talk and express themselves this will only get worse. Both are at fault.
/rant over I just love this story. It portrays a very realistic relationship with miscommunication issues. Now they both need to work it out!
This is one of the few cases when the manwha is better than the novel, waaaaaay better than the novel. The novel is ass. Please everyone, just stick to the manwha. The person who is doing the work (story adaptation) took a low tier toxic waste of a novel and transformed it into a very good manwha with way better character development, secondary characters and everything.
Do you know how to read or are you here only to watch the pictures like 4yo?! Why every time I come to a comment section of a Incest (BL or not), BDSM, loli or shota manga/manwha that it's correctly tagged and THE PLOT SHOWS IT TO YOU IF YOU READ THE BLUR, I have to skim through the whole bunch of comments whining "Oh why aren't they step siblings? Eww this is shota, Ewww this is so disgusting". Are you ragebating? Are you bored? IF IT'S NOT YOUR THING, DON'T READ IT. Easy peasy. There are thousands of other stuff to read in this website alone. Please do us and YOURSELF a favor and scroll over.
Stop shaming other people for what they are reading. Get a life.
I usually thirst for my fictional men but not here. Don't get me wrong, Shi Yan is damn fine, but SHUYI omg. My bisexuality ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ I love her so much. She is worth everything!!! I'm thirsting for this woman so hard ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
Please everyone. Go and read the novel. The translation is flawless, the story is superb and beautiful. This doesn't do justice between the bad translation and the fast pacing. The novel is a work of art.
You will find the novel in foxaholic under the name "The General who always see himself as a replacement" by Yi Yi Yi Yi.
I can recommend the novel 110% it's just awesome and beautifully written. And the romance is waaay more intense.
This story is like Burger King for me xD trash, but the kind of trash I like to eat hahahahaha xD it's simple-minded and funny.
Maybe because I'm Latina and I'm used to very dramatic Telenovelas to the point they are ridiculous.
So I find this one easy to follow, nothing complicated is going on so it's perfect after a rough week of work xD
Just my opinion though.
Spoiler for the novel.
I think Diana got the ending she deserved. She was alive, she was well... But she became totally irrelevant and is made a mockery of what a Queen and a Saintess shouldn't be. She is a divorcee in a society that blame the woman for that. She has to live her whole life in the place she deserved from day 1. A convent in the church she "liked" so much, becoming bitter and bitter every day while everyone else is famous, happy and well. Just thinking about it give me the creeps xD
This is the best ending for her. Her own life is her prison.
OMG xD I almost pissed myself after reading chapter 65. This is the first time I read something so absurd that it's FUNNY. I know everyone else is getting tired of this manwha but I am having a Blast. Sierra is just such a unique Character and she carries the whole novel by herself with no issues xD
I will be here to see the end, I'm enjoying myself too much.
The last 3 chapters to the end felt rushed. I think it would have been nice to make them smoother but I guess there was a fixed amount of chapters from the beginning
I wanted to dwell more in the past memories and Lucerne knowing what happened to their child in Elisha past life. She shouldn't have healed from that trauma in a chapter, specially because that was the reason she separate from Lucerne to begin with, the guilt that was eating her alive. But then it got rushed to the side
Sometimes I just love a couple of total evil psychopaths getting a happy ending (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I know I'm sick. But I love evil people in fiction. The evilest and unhinged, the better and with a happy ending?! *Chef kiss*
Please recommend me more stuff like this ヾ(☆▽☆)
I'm not making excuses to the FL but as a person who was terrible abused by my own mother, If she one day wake up and began to apologize to me from nowhere I would have freak out and I would have thought "what is she trying to do now? " The distrust was too big.
Also we abused children sometimes thought that apologizing is worthless because you are going to be hit or abused anyways, so in the end we said nothing and became desensitized towards the correct situations where to apologize and why. I fixed this with 6 years of therapy and I'm still with lots of issues.
Actually I liked that she first wait a bit and did good stuff for him before apologizing. I also like who the kid it's portrayed because even now with the apology, he is still wary of her.
Trust, when it's broken in that way, take years to be able to put it back again. And the fear with always be there. The anxiety, the intrusive thoughts. So be a bit kind to FL in that sense. She is an abused child too. And yes, child. She can be a grown up physically but you are always going to be an abused child in your head because you can't develop properly in the middle of abuse. You need to heal the hurt inner child to be able to properly react and take good judgment decisions as an adult.
I was thinking I lost the ability to blush some time ago ... But I was wrong xD The ML made me blush in his theater presentation. He is amazing and the artist too for being able to portrait all his characters with such perfection and fluidity!
In the novel the ogFL and MC are besties but I have been noticing some changes in the manwha. I would be very sad and disappointed if they change it and made the ogFL evil in this adaptation...
