The plot twists kept coming! I did not expect a child!

I will say, I fully thought he had been marked by some other alpha who was an asshole and that would've made for a much more compelling plot than the convenient nonsense of him just forgetting his fated mate who he has already marked.
Also hiding your whole kid from the man you KNOW is the father is WILD!
This was silly and cute though and I loved all the little side stuff with Senri. He's the CUTEST little baby!
And the "Mommy says my daddy is at sea! He lives on a ship all the time!"
And him immediately saying he came down from the ship was really cute

This is such a strange read because there's a lot of beauty to it and I love stories of healing together, but it's also very uncomfortable. I just kept finding myself wishing they wouldn't have sex, because he really was just a child no matter his age. Being stunted like that, he was physically, emotionally, and mentally a child. Angie was good in his denials and was respectful, but that doesn't change the outcome of this still showing them having sex.
It just sucks because the sweetness is there and they are ultimately good together, but he never stops looking like a child to me.
The part where Sui tugs on Angie's shirt and says "I'm happy" truly made my stomach turn because that's such a true to life thing that children will do and it's so sweet but then this is a character that is sexualized and that's so uncomfortable.
I can understand both the people who really love this and those who cannot abide by it. It toes the line in a way where even I feel uncertain if I could say I liked it.
I don't blame the characters or think either of them are bad, it just makes the author questionable for sexualizing a character that is, in every aspect but the total years he has lived, a child

Still, an interesting world and there is satisfaction in Angie eradicating those disgusting nasty perverts. A separate conversation could be had on the strange decision to "adopt" out those kids to owners. Even if the "owners" are just in a familial sense, it's just an uncomfortable world and that's not necessarily something that can't be written about. I just think I'm more disturbed than comforted. My stomach hurts.

I went in without any expectations and I was greatly pleased. First, Junpei has SUCH a fatty GODDAMN. Any angle, jeans or no jeans, that things juicy as hell <3

Anyways, this was really lovely and sweet! I love a character who looks cold but is juat spacey. His lack of expressions was fun especially in contrast to Junpei having such an expressive face.
Love how sweet and supportive their son is. His first thoughts being "NOO dad you're so fucking dumb </3" bc he knew that the communication was NOT working. I loved his face lmao.

This is just a sweet little domestic story with pretty smut interspersed
Also Junpei with his hair down was so nice <3 hes so lovely

They talked about pregnancy so much but never delivered???? Smh </3
They were very cute and sweet and I love a good fated pair

But like why tf their characters in their movie gotta be half brothers </3 it made the father's comment so sus like y'all really have to make everything weird, huh? We just gonna ignore that and believe the father when he said he met her once and that was all.

I'm kicking my feet giggling punching my bed theyre so fucking CUTE

This feels like the outline rather than a complete story. Everything happened too rapidly to allow any actual emotional attachment. This has the bones of a nice story without any of the meat that would actually make it worthwhile

I swear I've read this before but without the first chapter(s) somehow???
Maybe I blocked it out :""")
This would be fire without the noncon somno shit. The art is so fun and Tomoyasu's character design is so good </3 his hair and tattoos </3
Like seriously they could have done and developed the story just as well without having him drug Shirayuki wtf man...

This was soooo cuuute <3 I loved seeing the art improve and watching them get mushier as they went. Hope it ends with the coming shorts tho cause we don't need angst <3

Also their kids are soo cuute and ahh i just love them

Hajime is so fucking cute omg his outfits his lil beauty mark his pretty hair his big eyes his earrings <3 <3 and he's stupid and a crybaby </3 he's perfect

I have IMMENSELY mixed feelings about this.

Let's do quick top 5 list first.
1. They NEED a safeword DIRELY
2. Ido and Jin should have kissed more, but especially in the final chapter.
3. Ido and Jin should have been shown bottoming especially considering they're willing.
4. It's been so long since I've seen such intense yaoi hands. Wowee.
5. The safeword again dear Lord that would make so many things acceptable.

Now, some bullet points.
•I hate hate hate how Gyeonwoo is treated throughout most of this.
•The unfaltering assault that Ido put him through since they were young was horrible to watch.
•The scene where they assault him and he doesn't realize its them is sickening (negative).
•I would say they need therapy but I'll be really honest I think by the end they're about as adjusted as these people can possibly get.
•I cannot tell if this exhibits good character complexity or intensely inconsistent characterization.

I think going into this expecting romance is not the move, but if you want to read interesting characters in a dark psychological way, this is very interesting. I enjoyed the moments that showed the twisted and difficult aspects of each character and think it was beautifully written.
I think that the gratuitous violence is unacceptable because there is no safeword established. Gyeonwoo constantly says no, says it hurts, begs them to stop. Despite their supposed love, they ignore it. CNC isn't for me personally but at least if they had at any point established a way for Gyeonwoo to stop things if he needed to, it would show that everyone was actually consenting yet instead they showed things that were honestly anxiety inducing.

I will say, I think Gyeonwoo was a likable main character and was a much better person than the other two, so any hate towards him I feel is not fair.
What I WILL say, though, is that anyone complaining about his size or how young he looks has every damn right to complain about that. He looks like a child at times –not always, but any amount is too much. It could be overlooked at times because yes, some people are small or look young, but I honestly think it got even worse in the extra chapters.

I don't know, I won't say I hated this but I definitely did not love it. It's a very interesting read and I really did love their dynamic when they were all happy and gentle and kind to each other.
This had a lot of potential to be a really good story with complex characters, but it went too far into the dark and fucked up aspects.
Ido could have had all his commitment issues and some asshole behavior, but he was downright cruel.
Jin had so many moments where he showed he understood consent and told Gyeonwoo he would stop if asked. And that makes it even worse that at other times he was so violent (the belt around the neck in particular really upset me).
Gyeonwoo honestly I have no recollection of any really bad things he did, he was overall very loving and sweet, so the only complaint is the artist's decision to make him look childlike.

I might read this again just to focus on the actual writing that I thought was beautiful, because I couldn't focus on it through the anxiety the sex scenes caused. I can skip them next time and really hone in on the character study of each of them, because I genuinely did find that to be so interesting and good.
