soobin found in closet, likely place for him to be
i thought it was bad last week but the cliffhangers just get worse and worse.... i'm wailing...
Right, I feel like this is an appropriate point for my 2 (or 12 cents). I've seen loads of comments, especially since the chapter 175 about the cultist atmosphere and Condom's behaviour. As someone who has worked in the classical music industry for nearly 10 years, who has grown up around classical musicians and hung in and around professional orchestras (some of the best) I hate to say it but the author is bang on the money about the reality of this industry. I would love to say that they're exaggerating or embellishing but they aren't.
One of the reasons I love this manwha so much is because the author is very obviously knows and understands the world they are writing about. The relationships feel real and grounded because they are clearly drawing from not only a good understand on how actual humans behave, but more specifically how they behave in THIS environment.
The cliques of orchestra musicians and the rejection if you don't behave in a certain way, the abuse (verbal, physical and sexual) and the obsession around perfection are just a normal Tuesday.
One could ask oneself why on earth someone could chose to subject themselves to this environment ? The author gives us the answer through Heejay and Garam's CONNECTION (heart, body, mind and soul). I think that the thesis of this entire story is even though this environment is hostile and full of distorted individuals who will twist music to serve their own purpose like corrupted priests, the purity of human connection and love for music is what music and, in a larger sense life, is all about. It's a beacon of hope and a the reason classical music has survived for centuries. Art is a path from human to human as André Malraux so astutely noted. Artist to interpreter to Man to artist to interpreter to Man and round and back again over and over, inspiring, feeling and transforming.
That's why this story is so powerful especially today: in our world where everyone is surrounded by people while simultaneously feeling completely alone, music and art are our ultimate guide to connection.
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
the slow burn / cohabitation / vampire / yearning is sooo good but I go through insane withdrawal between updates… anyone got recs with a similar vibe, but with established relationships as of the current chapter (or completed)? ┗( T﹏T )┛
I want to like this so bad because BL is so starved of actual plots, but the utter power imbalance and inappropriateness of their relationship just reads as daddy issues with extra steps.
just a thought but to ppl saying garam shuld leave heejae cus he's toxic, i wann offer another perspective. i don think garam's clueless or blinded by love. garam chose this, while knowing all too well wat shit he's getting into. i mean did ppl forget ch 109 where garam said 'he knows too well tht it hurts to be near heejae' but said he'll stay. not to mention prof act doubled down n resisted, begging garam to hate him n stay away. he's not ignoring n instead acknowledging it.
n it's unfair in our eyes n garam doesn deserve this toxicity but the overarching theme of his chara seems to be written as someone who feels fulfilled n happy in bringing comfort to ppl, since it's that tht gives him confidence n a sense of purpose. (like how he got a huge self esteem boost when over wat kruger told him). n ig heejae is like the ultimate test to tht aspect hence y garam was more drawn to heejae's loneliness n suffering.
also b4 there was tht panel where garam n heejae were BOTH holding knives, meaning garam is just as capable of deeply hurting heejae yet chooses not to. If he's so upset and bitter with heejae treating him like shit, garam literally has heejae's weakness in his hands n CAN retaliate just as badly back. But he understands tht tht doesn't really achieve anything n i think this ch really cements tht. as much as we wanna smack the shit outta heejae, garam's being the better person by not doing so n i don think tht's necessarily him not being able to stand up for himself/ being a pushover. tho well, tht's just another perspective, idk the author's true intentions
Ugh- is it just me, or doesn't it feel like something is missing? Why does Heejae not know Garam yet if he is the only one who can understand Garam's sound? Being lonely and having past issues don't undermine the fact that he is a born talent. Everyone knows that Garam is not talented other than his unique sound; forcing Garam to follow his path is a great way to make sure Garam shines as a gem. But now that I reread this part- does Heejae even listen to Garam's sound? I feel like we know a lot about Heejae but nothing about Garam. Why does it feel like, all of a sudden, Garam is a mystery? i am way ahead in raws, but still- all i have seen is his soft version- his thoughts over Heejae are very clear- but why does it feel like I don't know why- and how Garam feels that way? Because, if not him, no one else will- or how could he turn away- when he knows the true agonising struggle of a lonely soul, since he was just like him?- dedicating his sound to Heejae to embrace him? When I think about it- even his monologues are about Heejae. Every line he thinks about is about someone else, and when he thinks about himself, it's never a statement but a question. Though Garam looks the most simple-minded in this manhwa, i still can't manage to figure him out.
Is there any ongoing manga/comic peak like this ? Better if the bottom isn't a twink
checking off as many genres possible... high school, college, quest system, reincarnation, historical, childhood friends, amnesia, celebrity, and now omegaverse... just putting them in every situation possible
WTF WAIT WHY ARE THE VOTES AT DOWN TO 116 OR IS IT JUST ME HUH
I hope they can be happy together in the end but on the other hand... a tragic/bittersweet ending would hurt soooo well.
the author only uses the forehead angle during serious moments but it always makes them look so funny and i can't help but laugh
I’m obsessed with the style of this manhwa and I need recs for works with a similar vibe… Can be similar in any way (story, characters, pacing, composition)… Personally I think of Monster, Master-Peace, and Curveball & Splitter (〜￣△￣)〜

How do I search for Recarnation bl ????? How to search for list or tag anything?
these tranlations are so clunky and confusing. some sentences do not sound like they've been translated accurately. scanlation groups like diva scans really feel like they're pushing quantity over quality so that they get $ from their website. what happened to scanlation as a passion project?? i'd rather read translations that actually make sense.
