sorry but eugene’s personality traits are just seeking revenge (and obviously that amounted to nothing) and being in love with the MC, he’s too boring to be the ML so i’m glad it ended up this way. the romance between the MC and the emperor just needs to be more developed, they haven’t even kissed…
eugene has the personality of a 2nd ML so i’m not mad she ended up with the emperor who seemed more interesting but i feel like the romance hasn’t been developed enough?
i was intrigued by the setup but didn’t expect the ML to be a child when they meet and only became an adult after the 12 years they were away from each other, i’m afraid this isn’t for me…
dohwan lowkey pissing me off with the way he’s playing with yoonsang’s feelings…
absolutely loved this story but am i the only one shocked when it was revealed that the top was older? whole time i thought it was a younger top older bottom story
whew his dad is so fine my head was spinning for a second
i didn’t know how they’d make it back together seeing how messy things were at the start of the season but i don’t think nanjo could deny how deep mok’s feelings are for him when he cries so honestly and has visible lost so much weight since they last spoke. it’s gonna take them a lot more to properly date and enter an official relationship but this is definitely a start
tried to hold on for as long as i could but im dropping this. where’s the fun in a story where the protagonist has no agency and is just being pushed around by the ML and the antagonists? there’s no climax or pay off, i honestly couldn’t care less about the backstory build up. it just feels like misery porn for the sake of it. having read spoilers, it’s a bit silly that such a miserable story ends in a happily ever after… haven’t personally read how it goes down in the novel but the spoilers bullet points just tells me that this sort of ending hasn’t been earned. the mc is just a toy who gets battered and bruised consistently and i’m bored of it
i’m just reading this again after letting it marinate for years and i don’t understand why the bottom betrayed the top??? he quite literally gained nothing from that whole ordeal, am i supposed to believe that someone as smart as the mc would rely on a psychopath who taxidermies living things over the ML who isn’t great but still obviously better than his cousin? just feels like misery porn for the sake of it
would heavily recommend reading the novel, the manhwa doesn’t capture even half of the story’s depth and skips a lot of plot
there was no need to make the ML a high school student when they met
i genuinely don’t know where this will go, nanjo will probably just hate him more if he sees him like this ☠
not bad, a bittersweet ending like this suits this story. but i feel like the truth behind the “game” they were stuck in was left too ambiguous when it was a core part of the story
on chapter 9 and the misunderstandings are getting ridiculous… every time the speak, they’re never on the same page and neither of them even ask the other to clarify what they’re talking about. instead, they just get mad at each other and stay confused half the time
i feel like bada’s name meaning “bloodlust” and his design stands out too much to be have originally been an NPC, it lowkey doesn’t add up. i’m not sure whether he was an OG player who was playing before the rest of them or if he’s some kind of hidden mastermind who got stuck in the game or if he’s even the game developer but it feels like the truth is more complicated than we think
this story is alright i guess, i suppose it’s good if you switch your brain off but i’m kind of over stories where one character literally ruins the other’s life and the other just deals with it cuz they’re obsessed with them. like most of the angst is started because jaehan sees heegyeom on a screen, is attracted to him, hates that soft feeling and then decides to ruin his life to the point of swamping in life changing debt. sorry but that makes zero sense, his immaturity causes the people around him to suffer and he barely grows. the seme doesn’t even get revenge back and just deals with it because… he’s absurdly obsessed with him for whatever reason? i’m just a bit too grown for stories like this that aren’t really grounded in sense and have silly characters with silly motivations. i just can’t get behind rooting for the director who beats up people who care about him and then sends his ex wife into a psychiatric hospital for exposing the shit things he’s done to heegyeom. maybe i’m too woke but i can’t behind some rich asshole treating people at a lower socioeconomic level however he feels like just because he can, it’s just gross to me. not saying heegyeom is perfect but honestly i don’t like his character either cuz his head is only filled with love lmao
i’m at chapter 21 and the bottom is so evil, does he get to properly suffer before they get together in the end cuz he really ruined heegyeom’s life for no good reason…
yeah im ngl, i've read the novel and the story takes a turn for a worst after they sleep together (sadly the manhwa author skipped this the scene...) and the novelist makes the ML super manipulative and obsessive all of a sudden
