I can never find anyone with the same aversion I don't mind reading it, but porn and the thought of sex weirds me out. Maybe because of how dramatised it is, like all porn videos are and also how it's written in books makes me VERY uncomfortable and honestly grosses me out. I'm not against sex or people having it, I know it's normal thing. And I ......
Shuraka's a fake fan, I would have known those titties from a mile away. I would have known them blind
Mission impossible theme started playing in my head all through this chapter
How does he not recognise his husband just by his massive tiddies alone?
Dammit I'm far too invested, time to back log it, forget about it, and come back and binge this heartbreaking masterpiece in a few years
Mingwa herself said that she loves to create unlikeable characters so she can build them up to then be good, likeable people, but because it's ending within the next chapters, JKs arc is gonna fall flat, and he doesn't have that character development that will balance out his mean past. He hasn't gone through that self destructive phase that would have created a foundation which in turn would have allowed him to start rebuilding himself back up into a "better person" removed from that "hurt/misunderstood person" (what I think Mingwa was going for) that he was before.
Yes you can think over and rue the bad person you once were, but in order to start to become the better/healed person you want to be, you have to feel the full force of all the actions you have done to either hurt or misplace the emotions of others around you. But I don't feel Mingwa has really written about it in a way that makes you understand what he has gone through and feel the changes he has made to start treating other better. All he did was say "oh shit, my bad choices and disrespectful behaviour has pushed away someone I realised I kinda care about, lemme cry about it real quick and then I'll go get him back."
Yes you see him haggard, and physically strung out after he makes a 7 panel realisation of how much he cares about Kim Dan, but it's very shallow, and lacks a lot of the emotional complexity there is when you realise how much you have mentally and emotionally destroyed someone you have come to deeply care for. However, I do have to check myself because JK isn't a very emotional person outside the range of anger, so crying was a bit of a milestone for him, I'll give him that. But the reason that reaction falls flat is because there wasn't a lot of emotional build up beforehand, it just kind of happened, and it happened because Kim Dan got stabbed. So then JK got the clichè "you almost died and that made me realise how much I love you" crutch so he didn't have to do any emotional work himself to get to that conclusion. He need some (A LOT) of help.
I didn't need any of this to tell me that Jinx is a bad manhwa, but I did try to give it the benefit of the doubt after Mingwa said she liked that build up of bad boy turned loving boyfriend, but she put in so much effort making JK look so unredeemable (probably so that if she could pull off a good character arc she could say told you so), that all her energy was spent and she couldn't find the steam to push for a good rounded character arc. JK is the most thought out character in the series (Kim Dan is a cliche figure, there are so many like him he can't be considered a well thought out character) but even though he could be saved, I don't think Mingwa could be the one to give us a good terrible person turned empathetic human being, I think it can be done, just not by a strung out Mingwa (you can kinda tell she probably wants this over and done with how quick the ending is).
Goodbye Jinx, you will most likely be forgotten within 5 years, but everything has a shelf life, and yours just happens to quicker, in fact it expire quite a while ago.
Ps. I'm not against reading any other manhwas Mingwa realises in the future, we'll call Jinx a learning curve lol
I can't be thinking about doomed yaoi this close to bedtime (even if it's one sided doomed yaoi)
Damn I read this like a thousand years ago and I don't remember being this sad.
Also, that ain't my ending, the fact people are saying that isn't Sese?!?!?! HUH????
In my mind, she stayed in ancient Egypt with Sese and they lived happily ever after, cause what do you mean we got no scenes of domestic bliss and only angst for the entire 70 chapters.
Gonna try and find a fic that has a more satisfying ending cause I really can't accept such and abrupt end. And the novel doesn't sound much more appealing since apparently this isn't the end in the novel and there like two more volumes to go
It's been forever since we were at their high school days so I can't remember what happened, there was like this big time skip and we never really found out what happened at the end of high school or that hinted "gloomy" time that He Tian wasn't in the picture, so I'm confused as to whether or not it will be cleared up, cause it hasn't even been acknowledged in like two something years already. We were back and forth in time for about a year and it seems like we are permanently in the future.
This feeds the little gremlin freak that I keep hidden inside and I am thankful for that
I feel like this is actually like a dream situation, like in 30 chapter it'll be the "end" and it was just Tasesungs dream, cause none of the characters are acting like themselves.
Don't know why the author is even writing a season 5 but this is my only explanation that makes sense
