I’m so happy this series is being continued and we’re getting to see them navigate adult life and how they’ve settled into their relationship. Genuinely one of my favorite manga. The first one certainly had issues but overall I really had a fun time reading it and I liked how they explored gender and sexuality. I desperately wanted to see more of the main couple which is why I’m excited for this sequel!
If u don’t mind could u paste the link of the first one I rllly love this story n can’t find itt
Just remove the first part where it says zenbu and you’ll find it
Girl, you know absolutely nothing about this man yet your dream is to marry him? Not her literally tracking him down. What if he doesn’t want to be bothered and get married. Like obviously we know how this manhwa is going to end but still. That’s some crazy behavior.
Which is why we don't complain and turn off brains for smut manhwas.
ikr
Hello?!?! Why am I nervous as if I was them? Sasaki and Miyano is like the only BL that has me get nervous whenever they take another step in their relationship. It also makes me feel hella invasive like I’m violating their privacy whenever they get more intimate but honestly that’s all part of the charm of this manga. My heart just can’t take how lovely they are.
I’ve seen a bunch of comments so far of people liking the second ML and I feel inclined to agree with that sentiment as well. I don’t hate the first ML at all it’s just that even though FL has had very little interaction with 2nd ML I already like them together way more. It really just has to do with them being able to connect more.
The 1st ML isn’t terrible at all but I think the problem with him is that he has this image of FL in his head that he’s has since they were children. It’s not wrong cause it’s not like the FL isn’t like how he thinks she is. She just has different facets to her personality that 1st ML doesn’t know about which really is what the main problem is about. They just don’t know each other. I’m not saying this is all on him. Circumstances have made it so that they couldn’t meet for a long time and now that they can the 1st ML has been fairly forthcoming for his care towards her and that he intends to marry her. He hasn’t actually confessed his feelings yet but he’s still pretty open with her.
The FL on the other hand hasn’t been entirely forthcoming. I also don’t fault her for this cause that’s just how her personality is and realistically speaking she just doesn’t really know these people. She has a bit of history with them and because of that she’s trying to be aware of how she acts. Which finally leads me onto why I already like her and 2nd ML already when they’ve barely interacted. In their first two interactions they’ve already been way more honest and open with each other than her and 1st ML. Of course they’re still hiding stuff but they already know way more about each other as people on a more deeper level. This just makes it easier to form more of a connection because there hasn’t been any expectations set up from the start for each other unlike her and 1st ML.
I still can’t be entirely sure when it comes to 2nd ML’s personality but I’m definitely not blaming him on his goal being to reclaim the stolen land from his people and suffering from a curse that started with their ancestors like a thousand years ago. Is what they’re doing perhaps extreme? Yes but also they’ve been kind of backed into a corner where it’s kind of they’re only option left. They’re considered citizens of the empire but are still ostracised and discriminated against for actions that happened forever ago by their ancestors. His people are literal victims so I don’t really have anything against his character at the moment.
Anyways, my dream scenario for this manhwa is FL retiring and running away with the world tree and living in peace and if we have to have a romance then let it be the second ML after him and his people are treated right.
They have good chemistry together purely because 1, they share similar sentiments about their duties. (FLs in tending to the world tree against her will when she wanted to be free, SMLs towards getting revenge and his land back for his people’s sake. Which also seemed to be thrust upon him against his will.)
And 2, since they’re strangers it’s easier to let out what you’re feeling without worry because you have no prior relationship. You can say what you want and it’s a weight off your chest.
You are sososo right with the ML having a glamorized perception of the FL and not fully understanding her personality due to lack of meeting up. And it’s something that’ll most likely be worked on as the longer shes in the capital. It also doesn’t help that she now has both royals vying for her, as to keep her there forever.
The best timeline is her finally connecting the dots that SML is the reason the manas getting corrupted. And instead of immediately villainizing him, she instead sees it from the standpoint of the empire did his people wrong and as the world tree caretaker uses that to help liberate his people. The cliche, “this won’t free your people, but instead further damn them.” Type writing.
Wow, I randomly decided to check on the latest chapter after dropping this ages ago and I’m genuinely shocked it ended in a poly relationship. Whenever there’s a love triangle I honestly always hope for poly but I don’t know what to think about it with this. I don’t really have the right to critique anything since I dropped it pretty early on but I just remember both MLs sucking in their own way and literally hating each other so to find them being a throuple is kinda wild.
true, we got a poly for a throuple with toxic dynamics sighhh
NEVER IN MY LIFE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS DID I EXPECT AN EXTRA. I ESPECIALLY DIDNT EXPECT SMUT?!?!
I can’t handle this. Literally one of my favorite BLs ever. Seeing these characters in the author’s current art style also feels insane. They look great. Also the smut!?! Never in my life did I expect to see smut. It lowkey feels wrong seeing them getting it on cause I just remember them as sweet little children. Aye but I’ll never complain about a little smut.
I MISS THEMMMM
Time to go reread this for the hundredth time.
He couldn’t have waited a little bit more! My boy was seriously about to confess! It was such a sweet moment too.
What the hell is his problem? I cannot believe that was his official introduction in this manhwa. He was such an asshole. To recap a former client pours gasoline on her and pulls out a lighter threatening to kill her in her office but the ML comes and saves her. This is all okay so far but then he has THE AUDACITY to blame her for not dropping him sooner and inviting him back which potentially put everybody in danger. EXCUSE YOU BUT SHES THE LITERAL VICTIM. THE ONLY PERSON AT FAULT WAS THE LITERAL ATTEMPTED MURDERER.
I did not read this expecting much of anything. I just thought I’d read a little to pass the time but the first chapter was enough for me after that bullshit. I wouldn’t doubt it’s one of those tropes/cliches where he’s just being harsh because he likes her and he doesn’t know how to express it correctly. EXCEPT YOURE TELLING ME HES A FUCKING LAWYER BUT DOESNT HAVE THE SENSE TO UNDERSTAND SHES JUST A VICTIM.
Anyways, I’m over it. I will obviously not be continuing this because of how much of an asshole he was right from the start. At least make him a little bit likeable first and then show him being more insufferable. I would’ve been able to tolerate it better then. I also cannot stand the fact the FL is going to like him after he pulled that shit. Fuck this shit.
Ye he’s a classic victim blamer. He also just keeps thinking that she’s dumb and that pisses me off. Like just because he’s caught her being vulnerable once or twice he’s like “everybody says she’s smart but she’s just a sensitive little girl” like fuck off. She’s as good of a lawyer as you. Plus he keeps making it seem like he’s her mentor and makes her study and work overtime because he makes it clear he thinks she’s a fuck up. Pisses me off.
YASSSSS COMMUNICATION WE LOVE TO SEE IT
