Chef Phai's Topics (53)

This was the last thing I read today before sleeping and all the stuff happening got me depressed for the mc I almost made this comment about just k*lling myself if I were him but thankfully other readers have mentioned that he will get justice in the end AND WILL NOT FALL IN LOVE WITH HIS ABUSERS?? a great cherry on top! idk if Khalid is endgame considering so far he is ML material in a sense that he has a lot of heavy involvement with Nox, not that he is a good person or anything but hey, he was also a victim so I won't comment much. But anyway, khalid as endgame or not as long as my king nox gets back at all those assholes and gets the happy ending he deserves. I'm good

Originally, this review was never supposed to see the light of day since I'm pretty much used to these types of storylines to the point where I'm desensitized whenever I encounter SA or any sort of implications towards that subject but right now I truly wonder how the author even manages to live their daily life knowing they just wrote about something they can go to jail for if it was done in real life. And this goes to all the authors of some of these latest BL manwhas lately, like what the hell guys why are you ALL normalizing all sorts of SA in y'alls story it really disgusts me sometimes. Like I feel shameful being a reader sometimes when all the new stories are just composed of this trash shit where MC just suddenly feels ok that he got assaulted by the ML and YES, I will hold whatever shit happened in chapter 1-2 against Seojun TILL MY VERY LAST BREATHE because no matter what experience you had in the past with your shitty tutor, it doesn't give you the right to do the same thing to other people. The only people I actually like in this story is minwoo and joohyun's sister. Ok so in chapter 48 Joohyun almost got GOT by those trash men in the club and it irritated me at first that after that experience and crying all night, he just went up and had sloppy seconds with Seojun on the next chapter like whaa??? BRO I really do not like dictating how others should feel but WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT WOULD BE TRAUMATIZING FOR ANYONE especially to someone like Joohyun who I assume just got into college, living his life with more freedom and autonomy but is irritatingly naive and "innocent" like omg 'there are no rice cake shops open at night?' TYPE OF STUPID, but I'll let it pass considering the circumstances and what happened in his childhood but still. How can you just crave physical intimacy after an experience like that when you know at the very least that what happened WAS NOT OKAY at all. And this bullshit about giving Jiho another chance because he could actually be a good guy is SHIT, in the coming chapters, Joohyun went "oh why didn't I think of calling Seojun if he's gonna be in the club!" then proceeding to saying he wanted it to be a surprise is just DUMBDUMBDUBMUBMBMBB it's genuinely pissing me off like bro ACT YOUR AGE! You don't want to be treated like a kid? Then stop behaving like one! I'm mad at Joohyun and Seojun they both dumb bro!! And yes, the pregnancy arc. This may be a hot take but getting pregnant right when you just started college? when you're still a freshman? Are we serious? BRO you just entered college, you know to yourself that you HAVE and I mean HAVE OTHER PRIORITIES you want to pursue in life, take for example that one restaurant you ate with Seojun, how you rambled that you and Minwoo can't afford eating but someday want to eat there. BRO JUST FROM THAT STATEMENT I KNOW YOU GOT DREAMS, YOU GOT DREAMS SO WHY ARE YOU SUDDENLY GOING 'hee hee Imma have my sunbae's baby' like ok Seojun is at fault too for not using protection but my broooo Joohyun, you're a baby to me also :(( I rooted for you, I wanted you to be happy. But HAVING a baby it can literally WAIT until you find more stability in life. Come on we are better than this I know the kid would probably not be ab*rted so fuck it, and I know this is just fiction but damn, this terrible writing of what these characters are gonna do next really gets you thinking that it could, in fact, get any dumber than this. Anyway, I'm not dropping this, I'll stick around till the end 'cause I'm a sucker for good art syle and the story hasn't reached the point where it's irreparable. But for now? I'm giving this a 3/10

My opinion's the same as others, things went by too fast. A lot of details that should have been addressed were not addressed properly, heck they weren't even addressed at all. The comments already mentioned Hosu's messy life with side fwb#1. I'm not sure if it mentioned Hosu cutting fwb#1 off but if he did, then he just cut off NUMBER ONE from the POSSIBLY MANY fwb that he has to ensure a discreet private life. So okay let's say the fiance "handled" these twinks so that's probably one problem down. My second issue is why did Hosu just suddenly fell in love with Nagi like I don't see the development at all, them having the heart-to-heart talk about Hosu being frail and weak then Nagi assuring him that he's more than what his father says can be exhibit A but it really just felt rushed how he just came and went "I think I love you" like bro also, throughout the series Nagi always ended up being kidnapped and SA'd which was really unnecessary bruhhhh, unnecessary in a way that the story could have made use of those panels to show Nagi coming to terms with his past or receiving justice from what that monster director did to him. I'm mad that the director's bad deeds weren't shown and he was remembered as a good man when CLEARLY he isn't like bruh idk what red haired hyung received in the paper he got when he was working in the countryside but I'm sure it probably would have helped Nagi's case and also, I don't remember Hosu opening the box red haired hyung asked his secretary/agent to bring to him? That could have been evidence against Nagi's assaulter bruh but no it got swept under the rug like we could have had those scenarios shown instead of Nagi getting tossed around and kidnapped by these monsters. Everything was just messy and I just finished it because of the artstyle but I gues at least its over and it couldn't get anymore worse than this since there is nothing else to expect. Yay for a happy ending I guess, rating this story a 5/10

But of course Ennid isn't the one chosen by the dumbass Dragon Gods bruh can't Ennid have anything to himself? He got his inheritance taken away, his life at school was utter SHIT, his best invention was not even credited to him properly, no one knows who he is despite being a part of the TWENTY people that possess the golden license card like BRO WHY IS LIFE SET TO DIFFICULTY MODE ON MY BABY ENNID bro he has the skills to get EVERYTHING he deserves yet it's like the world doesn't want to give him anything the ML is ok but bro I'd take Ennid getting back the things he is owed over a sex scene with the ML anytime. MAKE MY BABY ENNID HAPPY FOR ONCE HE DESERVES IT!!

Basically the part where Charin's (the one mc calls capo) story comes to an end and I gotta say I regret dropping this last year because upon giving it another chance and reading it again after seeing it on the clock app, so far I can say that I am liking the plot, it's not exactly good to the heart. It made me sad how after so many years, Charin finally gets the opportunity to be honest with himself and live a life he actually wants to live and somehow accept his "flaws" and see his characteristics (one being those red stimulating thingies around his body) not as a symbol of his existence being a "defect" but as something that contributes to his whole authentic self, only for him to shortly be deprived of those opportunities by dying to the artificial woman, like how a star shines so bright and then fades away after reaching its peak. Idk if he'll be "modified / ressurected" by green hair but I wish he'll fail to revive him, after all, that choice of accepting the demon and choosing the way he exits is the third thing that was genuinely his (the two being Jin and Jin's willingness to follow Charin to the end). Anyway, looks like the spotlight has been turned to our boy MC with him reuniting with his 5 other childhood classmates, I really enjoyed Charin arc and hopefully the next few chapters don't disappoint.

I'm at chapter 46 and why tf is it nothing but Yigon suffering for petty af reasons when he just wanted to live a normal life in the first place? Sure he made some pretty questionable decisions but clearly he didn't know any better as a child, these fuckass adults are the one to blame! Fuck it, first of all fuck Yigon's negligent parents for not giving him a proper childhood, also, fuck the brother who didn't even spare Yigon one moment to explain himself and instead resorted to utterly destroying their relationship as brothers beyond repair (I doubt he would treat Yigon any better had Yigon succeeded in becoming a "useless grandson" not fit to inherit the company and I also doubt Yigon would be TRULY happy living that way). Fuck Yigon's grandfather for being a bitch. The ML so far I can't really blame him for being mad about contract violations because his intentions were clear hence the contract and he also made clear of his boundaries with their "relationship". But ML deserves a FUCK YOU from me for being a bitch idc I'm gonna be petty to those who hurt my bb Yigon anyway, I hope if Yigon doesn't become a badass and shuts everyone down his own way (including the ML bro, Yigon deserves a chase arc cuz ML can't even possibly commit to even 10% of Yigon's yearning for him) idk like make his own company since he has good business sense and IS incredibly smart, at least give him his own happy ending and let him find his happiness, with or without his fuckass family, his fuckass brother, or even his fuckass pseudo-partner. GEEZ.

Idk about their dynamics as a couple yet, but I love how Boreum is single-handedly carrying the story by just being himself, I find it cute and funny and would love to see the couple know more about each other. Probably gonna let this marinate for at least 20-30 chapters before I read it again but so far I'm liking it!

This is one of the few yaois I've seen where there is a step sibling attraction but the morals have gone out through the window. Saying you want to sleep with your step brother right off the bat is CRAZY like I know mc had some sort of feelings toward stepbro even before they became brothers but couldn't he at least have the decency like other mc's out there to stop, and think for a second, that his feelings towards someone who is now considered family, is not normal at all. Like I didn't even see a simple "wait, this may be wrong, we're supposed to be brothers now" we just went straight to OwO I'm blushing 'cause I knew my stepbro wanted someone good at sex so I may have a shot with him if I give him good sex BRO genuinely stop and don't even get me started on the ml

They so fineeeeee also Bahamut and Hyasis too but Lycaon be triggering something in meee like yes take me with you to the North also, kinda looking forward for the God scenes but it'll probably take a long time before we get to him

It felt too rushed for me idk I'm not completely satisfied, I guess the part where the mc chose Carsen was okay since they have been interacting since childhood + the annual gifts mc has been secretly receiving. But I wished there were more panels showing interactions between the two of them like don't get me wrong, Carsen being the endgame was something I wanted as well but idk, the ending (main plot excluding the side stories with smut) just doesn't feel as satisfying compared to other stories, like that immense feeling of being happy knowing your main ship has finally sailed, I didn't get it that much but oh well, this was still a good read and I am glad to have finished it, though I'm not sure if I would reread this again.
