Plot has great pacing and stays interesting. Nice artwork and SO happy they haven’t done harem stuff or gotten cringy subplots going on. The anticipation for BL is enticing but not stuck in your face constantly (I’d personally love for it to go that way, but it probably won’t).
I’m HEAVILY tempted to read the novel of this just based off of my staying intrigued enough to binge this much of it without hitting any slow spots. I was lamenting catching up fully when I hit 200 earlier today since this has been mega enticing.
As someone who finished the novel in 2022, I'm telling you, you should absolutely read the novel especially since you've already made it this far. The pacing is so crazy such that you'd literally never get bored because kimcom always has things to do. Or more like scenarios/some angry constellation/some unexpected event chasing to bite their ass at every turn. Of course it also doesn't tire you out either, it's interspersed with small, sweet moments that really tie in all the personalities of each character. Oh and plus point, the novel is in first person POV from our favourite unreliable narrator Kim Dokja (to really drive home that omniscient experience) so it does let you understand him better when you go through 551 chapters in his thoughts. Additional bonus when you get to see how KDJ lowk swoons over YJH when the page is suddenly filled with paragraphs of just describing how attractive kdj thinks others see yjh, but let's be honest that's totally just kdj thinking it. I hope you read the novel!
Ackk, I wanna read the noveeellllll, where can i possibly read it without interruptions?(⊙…⊙ )
There's a copy on Webnovel app if I remember correctly.
Interesting to have a zombie apocalypse story where humanity does get a cure and bounce back. And the couple matches pretty well too. Had a bit of non con vibes with the first time (dude never really said yes after saying he didn’t want to do it with a psycho), but they still stuck with eachother and everything after seemed consensual. I just wish we got one last spicey scene post cure. T-T
Dropped at ch 5 - how the hell does someone not know that their ex who mothered their son isn’t getting alimony?! Not to mention being a $h*tty dad to their kid who’s trying to communicate. And wtf does this author think programming even is??? Did they not even bother to do basic research on how that field works? It’s not some superpower and you’d always test your code regardless of confidence level or proficiency in a language. Especially when making a big project like a game.
Ch 71 is laced with another comic named Leviathan (sp?). Please someone fix this - it was a huge pain to read through especially since the other comic happened to be an action packed chapter T-T
Otherwise, I just read 100 and I’m SO glad for the direction everything has gone in. And LOL that emperor was really delusional about his own strength. Like he was the weakest manifestation of the power of death (mentioned in way earlier chapters), but he was acting as if he could just use it all Willy Nilly at the end there XD
The love is finally blooming, but there’s still trauma to unpack for both our eggies.
I’m on Ch. 31 now and this plot hole is bothering me: So in the scene where the rest of the meat for the banquet spoiled, the prince shows up behind her and her though bubble says ‘this voice’ indicating that she can tell the prince’s voice apart from others. And now that she sees him again in the market (first time interacting with his non Prince attire after the meat scene - plus she’s had a lot more time conversing with him now with the fire and all), she’s having a conversation with him and can’t tell that it’s him? I like the story a lot, but just feel that this is a pretty bad plot hole to have. Is it the translation maybe? Was it supposed to be ‘this presence’ or something? Sorry, it’s just easy for me to get caught up in things like these with slow burn stories since I expect them to have more careful planning for the long term. I’d appreciate any insight on this. :)
Got through Ch. 4 (official translations) and dropping. Sunbae literally knows the dude was drunk enough to be passing out. Dude said he didn’t want to do it MULTIPLE times (even gave him a reason when he didn’t need to - no is no) and he was rubbing his dick on his hole AS HE WAS SAYING NO. Dude even threw up during it and he has the gall to say it was good when the dude literally said he wanted his first time to be with someone he liked which implies he wanted it to be good for himself as well - there’s no effing way it was good for him when he’s nauseous (either from the rape or drinking). Why the f*ck is he hugging him at school and once again pressuring him into becoming a sex parter as the dude is saying no??? And why couldn't his noona conclude that he was raped?? My only possible defense for noona is that maybe he didn’t relay his refusal to her as he was telling her what happened. Sunbae has 0 excuse though and should be in jail.
Like I’m fine with chars that sleep around as long as they are open/up front about it AND GET CONSENT (like how is this even something I should need to voice as a requirement). Hate this crap where they act they’re still an ok human being after being a f*cking scumbag.
Also I saw comments explaining how Minwoo becomes toxic later and saying the Omega dude needs to be confront the mishaps and face the problem head on. I’m not surprised it sounds like things get messy later, but just remember that even his noona had to try and get him to not try to avoid the sunbae since literally all his life people were telling him to run away and avoid things, so it makes sense if he’s avoiding confrontation again (not saying he doesn’t need to confront the issue, just reminding folks to remember a part of his personality that was established early in the story along with the reason given for why).
Got through Ch. 6 and dropping. Lame plot (they put her in jail when she could communicate through writing that she killed her dad in self defense against what is highly likely sexual assault? - also they’re really missing out on enough interaction to explain the Stockholm syndrome happening since she isn’t just around the one chick), lackluster spice (not very creative and way too lacking in showing why the chars would cum from what seems like meh technique - like at least show a few panels of the insides getting rubbed or something), and super crappy translation (SO much of what’s said doesn’t sound like it adds up or just wouldn’t lead to chars reacting the way they do).
Also literally all the chars have been pretty and fit so it makes no sense when someone gets called ugly or not the right shape. Which reminds me that they don’t have boob physics down right which makes it look like everyone had a boob job (which is fine for a few, but why make that the case for everyone - including the virgin FL??).
And why did they wait to put that warning until ch 7? The sex scene right before was rape already (coercion is the same thing and Jua was def raped regardless of her cumming and pissing herself). If Lee is nodding as consent then the translation NEEDS to have that written in since she can’t talk. That warning should’ve been in almost all the chapters up to then.
this is kind of unrelated but to give my take on the ‘meh technique’ spice that gls or straight stories recieve is because porn usually caters to male genitalia. hence why when you read the average bl smut then think that it’s so good— in actuality it’s ass.
Yeah, this was more of just my critique on the story up to what I read. In general, I find better smut in bl (plot as well if I get on the right author - kind of a lot of them actually have good plot - including toxic stuff. They manage to do that right). Hentai almost never has good plot or spice to me (if that’s catered to males then I guess they don’t care about learning anything from it since they’re never getting the reactions those hentai show from what’s done in them), and I haven’t read nearly enough gl to get enough of a radar on that. I’ve read a few non spicy ones and the plots were pretty good sometimes, but the spicy ones I’ve been running into are a real hit or miss (still better than the mostly misses I get from straight).
Spice was good, plot got kind of boring, and I was just weirded out by how the investigator was anticipating taking the virginities of school boys. Plus he never questioned doing it with an underaged kid the whole time.. I ended up skipping parts of boring dialogue for the spice near the end but that could just be cuz I’m not into the investigating type of plot.
Read through season 1 and was SUPREMELY let down that they didn’t go the versatile route with this couple when it looked like they were about to (as per usual, the top just one sidedly changed the trajectory - I’m just miffed cuz they even said that they would switch that time). Do they actually ever switch positions? The art and story isn’t to my preferences enough for me to stick around if they don’t.
