The art style for the characters became less unique, the flair of their characters were getting blander by the end like a compromise for a deadline or exhaustion (faces were becoming unrecognizable unless theyre named). The lack of the familiar character flair in the beginning deducted the impact. Our ML looks like an "average" tired middle aged man compared to the charming old man. And well our MC, i guess without a "rebellious" streak, looks subdued. That's just my impressions as a "vibe" visual reader tho.
But the premise of the time travel, why it happened and how it affects our MC is generally promising. The execution just felt unseen from the brother's pov because his change is implied. It also mellowed out, in a way. The pacing suddenly followed the manga route where you cut the details and follow major events compared to the adapted manhwa feel in the beginning (or maybe i'm tripping). The memory loss was taken at a stride, almost losing that 10yr time skip transition (maybe because it couldve worked in a manga but it feels awkward as a manhwa). Like the drama was missing (tho i can feel the relief in the atmosphere whenever ML smiles)
Tldr, they look tired and relieved it's over at the end HAHAHA (both the artist and our ML who waited for 10yrs lmao)
And this might be the wrong channel to write, but just wanna share if anyone agrees with me.

P.S. android must be acting up coz I can't create my own tags on my comments... anyone else?
I've been watching hamster videos on YT, and a BL manga resurfaced from the back of my head. The problem is, I forgot the title. Please help me.
So the MC is a mover, and the client was a stuck up high school topnotcher who is now an elite. During the move, he found his former classmate's hamster cage. The former classmate becones defensive which worsened the MCs impression of him. By twisted fate, the two meet at a mutually close convenient store. As a petty revenge by the former classmate, he intentionally asked the MC about his running career. The MC injured himself back in high school and quit running, which the former classmate knew was his soft spot.
Long story short, the mover has an inferiority complex who used his injury as an excuse to quit. The elite has socializing issues, but envied the mover. Yep, totally asking the Manga Title for the sake of the hamster
Oh my goodness! You're a life saver! Thank you so so much
It focuses on their relationship and the psychological manifestations of their feelings. Very isolated, emotional, and blinding. And because the main characters are so simple, I have less resistance, questioning, and judgment.
There is no gray areas to muddle my impression. The main character is complex yet contrastingly straightforward. The love interest is vividly stereotypical but layered in conscious experience. So together they give me a familiar dynamic with a hint of mint, like breath of fresh air (like hey! Look at this power bottom's proactiveness! I love it!!).
Besides, their lives are so entwined that their choices affect each other powerfully. And the author molded a compelling world structure to highlight that complementary character development. And I am still trying to make some sense of the details but maybe I should just take it as it is lol.
I do feel like I am exaggerating, maybe that's the high of having just finished reading. But it's a fun read! Especially when compared to hyped abusive BLs with pretty art but disgusting dynamics.
