The last few chapters of the side stories had me questioning...is this heated rivalry!? We've got ice hokey, hot russian guy x hot wasian guy, and a get away cottage that's actually a mansion??! Also when Caesar said "give me a kiss"... Ilya - "gimme kiss"
Hahaha maybe heated rivalry if Ilya was a black flag... this dynamic is sooooo toxic... poor Leewon...this is why I usually don't like mafia based stories- the ml is always so fcked up, and there's always dub con or as here bloody r*pe and drugging- I always think it's gonna be different- nOPE.
But even I was flabbergasted when Caesar actually shot Leewon to stop him getting away- like just straight up shot him three times- and then drugged and r*ped him for a week- iggggggg it makes sense for the character realistically- but could we like not- and these scenes are always brushed over and romanticised. Then ofc later on Caesar did not cease to be a violent wretch to he just switched up tactics and turned the knife on himself to manipulate Leewon into staying with him...and then drugged and r*ped him AGAIN. Shocker. Imagine if Leewon actually DID leave- Caesar is 100% murdering his ass- like baby boy u actually don't have a choice u gon be dead-
Honestly, there's too much to unpack here in my late night ramblings- like this is still a well written and paced manhwa and story- and deserves its spot as one of the current bl manhwa classics- anyway it's not like those lack black flag characters.
leewon just had stockholm syndrome, i mean the race is the only thing thats similar to heated rivalry so idk what kinda comparison ur making but i wanna hear why u compared them
not another 'rudbeckia' fl THAT NAME SOUNDS LIKE A MEDICATION I don't care that it's a flower
I deadass started snickering after reading that name
crying rn how can the intricacies of these character and the depth of their connection be so beautifully captured in only 18 chapters that most authors don't ever achieve in 200... I have the most profound respect for the creator
ehhh there are some aspects I love and most I hate. Lowkey thought that Joe had picked Mike up from fcking primary school not university...he looks like a child T_T and what tf is with the mom in the bunny costume?!!? Had to dnf. This is very of it's time - the art, the proportions, the characterisation of the women, the whole plot line...I do like the premise of a vampire changing into a hamster tho ~ that's so funny
Holyyyy this shit is fantastic!!! I'm regretful I lacked the self control to wait until there were more than 30 chps out :'( Also thank you Kaoru! Ur uploads r perfect for saving images to my albums! They always cut off in the right places ~
i read this with a headache which really added to the fever dream aesthetic 10/10 would recommend
it does have that migraine aura feel at times
Idk why but I find your comment funny
thank you for your notes! these r hilarious - the angry emote for the dick I'm dying
I enjoyed this way more on the 2nd reread and can fully appreciate it now! The mc is way too tsundere and I wish the author could have toned it down a bit more than they did at the end.
Still this was very sweet and so fun, the dynamic is unmatched! I would have killed for some side stories especially with them maybe doing a double date with Hyejin and that fckboy friend or adopting a cat or more on their backstories or smut ofc
imagine someone saying they fell in love with you not in spite of you being a bad person but BECAUSE of it...
