I'm currently in Chapter 16 and I can definitely say, if I was Freya, the ML, or the sister, I would also be definitely be pissed at Ruby for acting like that too. I understand she's acting, but the way she does it makes it seem like she's scheming her way into the family for malicious purposes. I don't mind the airhead act since it's funny, but there are certain moments she acts more like a pick-me and it evokes a visceral reaction out of me.
Anyhow, it's still tolerable (in my opinion only) but I hope it gets better
I really like how the story progressed. Usually, I'm peeved by the problematic age gap + growing up together trope since there's a thin line between grooming and incestuous themes that some stories fail to handle (*cough, im looking at u dawn of the dragon), but I think the story progression on this one was gracefully depicted.
Also, there's only 5 years of age gap so it isn't that bad. Jiwan was never interested in taeyang when he was a kid and just genuinely saw him as a little brother. As for high school Taeyang having a little crush on someone a bit older, I'd say we all go through that realistic phase at some point (what's important is the older one doesn't encourage it at tht age).
I do say that I empathize with Jiwan's internalized homophobia due to the abuse he suffered, which is why he's so prone to running away so he wouldn't hurt Tae. Him having a child is definitely an interesting plot point to live a "normal" het life.
Also, really gorgeous art! Tae's face is definitely right up my alley and i really like the passion in their intimate scenes. I was thinking of dirtiest high artstyle when i read this and didn't even realize they had the same artist!
Overall, i really liked reading this and i hope u give it a chance and not giving into the other comments of it being problematic. Crushes have existed since the beginning of known history.
I'm still on chapter 8 and I'd just like to say I cringed so hard when ML called her "You're such a handful" coz huhhh???? You can only say those lines when you've had enough troublesome interactions with Karina where you're left to deal with the consequences of her actions ughhhh. I think it's still a bit early for him to be that close to her urghhhh im griping.
I binged this for 7 hours straight (just remembered i posted a comment for it, but i finished reading it on comix since the translations are better there) and i will say that the art and the dialogue definitely gets better. I started crying from chapter 115 and didnt stop until the end and I definitely complained to the friend who recommended this to me. THEY WILL PAY FOR MY THERAPY
He BARELY had any chemistry with Carson during the whole thing. Heck, his limited interactions with the knight Cedric had more intimacy than majority of his scenes together with Carson, let alone Kael who already loved him for a long time time and was beside him all those years.
I'm not saying he should 't have chosen Carson, but IT FEELS FORCED. I can't feel the spark factor between them.
A lot of convenient plot holes that makes me forget this was a fantasy setting since magic was BARELY used from the start.
Had a lot of potential and disappointed by the storytelling.










I am very skeptical about the art change around these chapters. At some point, i could feel the art style improving around the 20s chapters, but for some reason the artist felt like changing their design altogether and it really messes up with the story telling, especially since ML personality is supposed to be cold and silent with short hair, but the new ML design is more expressive has longer hair with wavy design. The design just looks so off with his supposed personality. Furthermore, MC looks more like a child. What's up with that? Bigger eyes and smaller frame too.
Did the artist change??? I really really really liked their old design and i hope it comes back
The plot twist was well done, and I could accept ML's art design change to some degree, but MC big, downward droopy eyes really makes me cringe just looking at it because it scream "try hard to look cute".
overall, a good story, although the narration/storytelling fell a bit in the second season (not to mention the artstyle downgrade)
But yeah, still a decent read but sometimes i wish that spoiler spoiler spoiler spoilrrrrrrr that ml didnt regain his memories of their silence lives,, but i guess that's one of what made this manwha unique in the first place so i'll let it slide
