When I first started reading this, I was fully convinced it was gonna be like fma Hohenheim yk. Like two identical person, same power-ish, one good one bad, the son of the good one will save humanity. I still have that suspicion but not as much. Great story regardless. Wouldn't mind if we get some more marya/asel crumbs.
The way my nosy ass would ask so many questions to the neutralize nachal. Some questions I would ask.
What kind of evil you did to end up in the abyss?
How are the nachal powers not overlapping with so many evil?
If someone who is already evil have the nachal power, would they still become a nachal when they die?
Etc.
I'll stay for the smut but I have a few critiques.
In chapter 6, nobody would talk like that. 'He has no idea it's due to your power to negate other's abilities'. What? Why would you say that out loud? You knew the fact already. Nobody in that situation would say it out loud especially someone as 'professional' as Ian. Also the drug? We knew what drug it was, we don't need a flashback. It happened not too long ago. I know this is so stupid to rant about and those decisions ultimately benefits the readers. But to me it solidifies that this is some weak storytelling. But it's not everyday we get old men yaoi so I'll stay.











Went ahead and reread this because it was good in my memories but damn I HATE Hongyeon. Taejun likes helping people and all Hongyeon can think about is himself. All the guilt tripping and manipulating pisses me off. People bring up Taejun bringing Hayun to their date and why do you think he did that? Because Hongyeon won't let Taejun do his consulting in peace. He wants to help but Hongyeon just keeps guilt tripping him going woe is me. Getting mad Taejun don't have time for him but he went ahead house hunting and leaving Taejun alone saying 'Please understand, Taejun'. Selfish af. All he thinks about is how he feels and wanting Taejun to dedicate himself to him without thinking Taejun has a life besides Hongyeon. Don't get me started on the body proportion, giving shots vibes fr.
All they have to do was get a shared Google Calendar and plan their date and Cupid consultation there with discussions that Taejun enjoys helping people but he has to prioritize the relationship first and Hongyeon has to not be a big baby and understand that Taejun likes helping people and can have more dates than consultation. Match made don't mean shit when there's no proper communication other that crying and sex.
I might be looking into it too much. I had a bad day but the characters still pmo. Jeaho is good since he seem to be the only one properly communicating from what I see.
