I usually steer clear of joseon bl because I'm not into political drama, but this was a short one so i went ahead and read it. Halfway through and I'm thinking when will this end? I persevered but it was annoying and draining, if I'm gonna be honest.
There should have been a TW. Joseon guides are literal sex slaves (what was i even expecting?).
I try not be prejudiced because most of the gay men i know irl are on the effeminate side, but if the bottom is going to look like a woman (in a world where same sex relations isn't even a barrier), might as well make it into hetero smut.
Anyway, it wasn't great.
I don't usually read manhua as i the ones i tried were ass, but i read this because of the comments. I appreciate the TL and their edits. I know manhua adaptations lose about 50% of the original story (from my limited experience with them anyway), so the edits and footnotes are great.
The drama at the end felt unnecessary, but I liked the overall story. I'm glad they didn't focus too much on the politics since i read bl for the fluff
Found this while looking for bl with an expressive top and i def got what i wanted.
I'm tired of tops who are all stoic even while having sex (with that nerve on their jaws the only thing showing that they actually enjoy having sex lol)
Am i tripping? I re-read this because i thought there were new chapters, but i definitely read more months (or more than a year) ago. i most definitely remember ml's "gun" being addressed lol
