I've rooted for TJYW from the very beginning. Their bond was so complicated and painful, and so full of miscommunication and misunderstanding that I couldn't help it. I wanted them to talk, to be honest with themselves and each other for once, and if after they said everything that had been bottling up for a decade they decided they weren't each other's place, I was gonna accept it, despite I love them.
So, I think I am happy with the ending?
I always said that I wanted the full angst, knowing I'll be having a happy ending. But this... I can't even imagine how exhausting writing a manwha is, less when whatever you do, you'll have half of the fandom at your throat, calling you things in the best scenario. So this isn't about criticizing Doyak because I can say how much she cares about the characters, but... I don't know, it feels as if a lot of things were hinted along the way to never be addressed again.
I felt so sorry for the way Jo ended up suffering, but I was expecting something else for him? Like, why all his background hunting the rabbit? Why to bring up the gun again, him putting it on his case? Why to show him spiraling dangerously downu? I genuinely thought we were going to see darker layers of him and I was so ready for that. But not only that, I felt like there were a lot of things that were trimmed and rushed for the three characters, and given the level of depth and detail put in seasons 1 and 2, I can't help but think the reason for Doyak to do this was to help herself with the aggressive fandom she gathered,.and it makes me so sad and mad.
I haven't been part of the fandom in over a year, but I remember it heavily ruining my experience every update because of how toxic it was.
So yeah... I got the ending I wanted but it felt kind of bittersweet in the wrong way. When I'm ready I'll read it again and I hope the early emotion it made me feel are still there till the end this time(':
So... We have a non cliche dynamic where the top is the twink-like but even if he suffered from book-men before, he decides to behave like those trash with the purest cutiepie?
Bruh it's like those alphaxalpha/omegaxalpha manwhas where the top looks like the cliche top and the bottom looks(and behaves) like the cliche bottom
When I first started reading I loved the older one. Now that I came back with the officials, Hyeondo stole my heart. I mean it wasn't even that he was using mc or ignored him on purpose because of his public image
I hate love triangles and miscommunication tropes because I always fall for the wrong one. I swore I wasn't going through another Love or Hate because that was the only time the eg was who I liked, but here I am, manifesting my unpopular eg
Do you have a link to the novel?
Also, please tell me mc stays with Taeyon!

I came here because of Limited Run, but 3 chapters in I don't think this is going further than portraying rape and abuse with a setting that allows it.
Even if in the future there's the magical redemption arc that BLs love to use to erase everything that mostly the top did in the beginning, I don't think it works this time so I better drop it now
I think it's finished
Art is outstanding and I don't see everyday an Erwin Smith-like protagonist so it caught my eye even if cowboys setting is not my cup of tea.
But damn, I'm so hooked now. Not only the art, the atmosphere it builds is amazing.
By chapter 6 is pretty obvious for me that Todd is a coyote shifter. I'm not sure that coyotes move in packs tho, so that scene with the deer confused me.
My other theory is that Dennis might be spiraling into madness and Todd is just a projection.That'd be so cool ngl
I can't wait for more chapters<3
I like ur theory~! :>
No projection.
It pretty much said not to trust anyone so he's not a projection. Also didn't need to reach ch. 6 to have a definitive conclusion. As soon as that stranger approached you know there's gonna be trouble.
I forgot I thought u meant wolves. I didn't know coyotes don't move in packs. Could that be Todd's dad?
Weeellll. Technically speaking, the "trust no one" can be a trigger for that projection if there's an underlying mental condition. Like, imagine the owner saying that because his neighbors steal his lambs, but then Dennis creates this enemy who does/makes him do bad things.
But yeah, I did think about that first warning and that's why the coyote theory goes first for me haha.
Also, I just searched about coyotes behavior and although they don't usually go in packs, they are social and might stay with their families, even hunt in pairs. So yeah, a family of coyotes shifters sounds good so far! And that scene with the lamb and Todd's eyes were fucked up enough to keep me interested even if there's no projections in the end
Would be the case but it's too apparent.
And previous sheep herders has problems. If it were just hallucinations then the cause is external.
I know. I won't go into my private life. This story doesn't indicate that though.
I'm so happy this ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE which is my fave manwha ever is finally getting officials. I hope that regular updates finally get it the attention it deserves (':
Props to Yeaze, please buy the originals if you can<3
It's easy to say "you don't like it? Go away and don't read", but in this case it doesn't apply because I love this story. It's been the only one I followed and kept reading during some months... And I don't know how to feel about the changes to be honest. The plot is interesting, the characters so layered and not full of cliches. But in the recent chapters I've noticed like not only the style changed but also some demeanors that not necessarily obey to character development. I'll keep reading but like I said in the title, it's kinda upsetting (':
You're right. I've noticed it too .
I finished this manwha a little after it did on Ridi (please support Author) and up till this day it's my all time favorite.
If you love psychological thrillers without the awful bl cliche of sexual violence or worst "I r4pe you but I change so you should forget about it", this is for you. It absolutely fucks with your head and I'll forever love it for it, even if it ruined stories for me because I'm expecting this quality now.
Y yo como YES GURL SAY IT LOUDER y read vos bldo JAJAJAJAJA
*eras (no read)
blda no había visto jajajaja. Creí que era la notificación de otra respuesta que dejé acá. Viste que feo? Eso es lo que me pasó en Pinterest(?
I didn't expect to be this engaged tbh. The art is beautiful, and I love it when we have out-of-the-ordinary bottoms who don't follow the virgin+submissive+vulnerable triad of hell that seems so popular. It also got extra points because the first few chapters I was like meh, it's pretty predictable but I'll keep reading because of the art and the unexpected bottom. But then there was a switch and it might be predictable on another level now, I'm not sure yet, but as a psychological thrillers slut, I'm loving the dynamics so far (the lack of the fucked up I'LL R4PE YOU AND THAT'S SEXY cliche is also a big yes for me).
But I have some issues that bug me.
If it were an original work I'd think that author changed the plot midway and left some elements forgotten because they didn't serve the plot anymore. But since it's based on an already finished novel, that and the pace of dialogue sometimes feel weird. Also
**SPOILER**
What do you mean Wujin is mentioning he knows what Haewon does inside his apartment, who he fucks with, where there are hidden points on the surveillance system and Haewon, who's clever, observant and most important, kind of wary around Wujin, doesn't even have an insight on that info?
I've read like 10 comments hating on the story and none of them said something like "Ian still thinking of Jo", I'm impressed.
I'll stick with my thoughts that Author decided to change the ending (not the endgame) to help herself a lot of headaches because there's things that simply just don't match with how the story was treated before, but I think I'm soft enough by seeing them happy and alive and unworried that I can see pass those things.
About the chapter, for a moment I genuinely thought that the reservation was with Jo, like an throuple ending and it would've been a surprise, but I'm kinda glad it didn't, although I hope Jo finds happiness one day.
I'm so curious for my girl Cali being mentioned again. TJ sold the house and I don't think he has the incomes to buy it again, probably. So I wonder what TJ wants to say in there, why can't he say it here.
If I thought I'd be reading people saying YW still thinks of Jo is because the stargazing and the cuddles by the fire. I can't assure YW isn't thinking of him, but I think that what he loved the most about Jo was the normalcy he brought to his life, that feeling that he could have that too, and the yearning of not having that with TJ back then when he desperately craved it. So I'm glad that with Jo, Yw has learned that he could enjoy all those things too, in the way he always wanted now.
Tbh, I'll have time to bitch about the time skip and all the problems suddenly being solved, but this was the ending I wanted. That panel about the motorbike was beautiful, no further words needed to show they're healing. The only bitter piece, and the one to deserves the clinic dissection the most, was the scar disappearing, because the line between healing and pretending shit never happened is too thin (no pun intended). The motorbike and Cali being brought back make me think it's the first option though, healing.
And TJ being so soft and clingy... My baby boy I'm in tears, he's so free being able to show how in love he is. If we don't get any extra, I won't ever forgive Doyak for not allowing TJ the relief of saying he loves YW out loud.
Maybe that's what he wants to say in Cali? Oml I'm so emotional. I'm sorry for the ranting
