guys i have been reading bl for like 5 years now, i’ve read so many but this one has stayed on my to read list because i’m genuinely terrified of the angst and what it will do to me. i fear i will never get over this plus i have zero idea and zero spoilers cause i wanted to go into it clean slate if i ever felt brave. please tell me will i ever recover if i read this.
could we have not gotten a cowboy wild west horse riding bl in ANY other setting T-T like why didn’t we just make up some historical sounding western town. we did not need to involve the us confederacy by any means. it keeps all parties satisfied there’s literally zero benefit for centering your story around this era of us history.
how annoying are the girls in this manhwa :( and how prevalent is the romance. this has been on my radar forever but i’ve been avoiding it bc of the harem
You’ll have like a few at the start who stick around like one actress and one short hair woman but ML pays no attention to any of them unless they have buffs or can help him in the future to finish the final level. And also spoiler. In the novel he does end up with a girl in the manhwa. But as of yet, there is no romance with any of the female characters.
this is lwk so similar to a dating experience i had. cause it’s not even bad but it’s those little instances that build up jnto insecurity and frustration with your partner esp when the foundation of your relationship wasn’t solid plus there wasn’t even a mutual confession between them. this hits too close to home…
not another mc thinking that distancing themselves from the one person that would love mountains to keep them safe in a world where everyone is out to get them, is the answer. FLASHLIGHT WAS ENOUGH PLEASS
The point is they can’t comprehend that someone would love them unconditionally since they can’t even love themselves. Both for Yujin and MC here. They both went through trauma surrounding relationships and the idea and expectation of love. I’m honestly not surprised by this turn out at all. It’s a defense mechanism.
no yeah for sure. it’s self sabotage and they’re thinking they’re doing the right thing for all parties bc they think it’s not going to work out so it’s better to cut ties now rather than later. or even worse they see themselves as dragging their love interest down when that’s not how their ml sees it at all. it’s just super sad to watch cause we know how much they love each other at the end of the day but that doesn’t make for good angst LOL
It’s realistic cause people don’t just up and get over their trauma. Especially seeing that MC is being targeted rn by legit everything he’s going to do everything in his power to keep the person he loves alive regardless of whether or not he’s in their life. Is it correct? No not really. Especially since he’s so unstable with or without ML but honestly he’s communicated really well about how he feels. I think if things weren’t blowing up this much he would’ve given ML the time and effort to court and support him.
He would’ve gradually opened up to him. But is it reasonable for him to explore this relationship now? Yes and no. I say no because then it could potentially lead to new struggles that could end up with one of them really hurt or dead(different manifestations and so on) buttttt the entire time they’re stressing that it’s feeding off trauma so it could lead to the dungeon and all these issues being put to rest real early.
The problem? MC doesn’t trust himself and therefore cannot trust ML. I think it’s being dismissed just how much MC went through. He literally threw himself into work to try and rewrite everything. No it’s not healthy since the wounds are just gonna fester but it is better than wallowing in his misery. The way how I see it MC doubts his capabilities of maintaining a relationship. He’s scared he won’t be able to hold onto him and that he’ll pour everything into him just for him to leave or do worse. Remember that’s exactly what happened in the past. He would rather be untouchable on his high horse than get ripped apart or pushed down to the level that bastard left him at.










Oh thank god his mom is on his side and stands up for him it would be too much for my heart if none of his family accepted him
