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
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
So like a week ago I noticed I stopped receiveng notif and then I found out my Now Reading list was empty (':
I saved back as many ongoing manwhas as I could remember, but there were some I couldn't remember the titles of, mostly psychological ones.
-[Distorted Soul]Historical. The bottom has white long hair, I think he might be a demon or maybe he has so much rage inside. The ml is someone who works serving him in the temple, I think he has a scar in one eye.
-In this one the top (I think?) experienced the loss of his partner over and over again, so when he finds him again in this timeline, he's kinda mentally unwell and obsessed with him? The other one moves away from his family because he's unlucky and brings tragedy to those near him or something like that. The colors are kinda pale, and I think the top? has blond hair with dark roots
-[Into the thrill]The top is a prosecutor I think. He and mc meet at the funeral of a common acquaintance who committed s*icide. The de4d guy and the prosecutor were lovers and the story moves around trying to figure out who's the bad one is?
-[My brother's lover]The bottom is the obsessed one, greyish-blond hair. The mc is the bottom's past lover's brother. Unsettling vibes, drop by drop you find out how planned and messed up things are.
-The last one is finished. The mc is a model, blonde. I don't remember about ml, just that he has dark hair. The artstyle is colorful, but it's a kinda serious story since mc deals with alcoholism
I'll be forever grateful if someone can give some of their titles (':
Thanks in advance!
Like a theme song???
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
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
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'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 (':
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.
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 don't want to be that person and I might be wrong, but do any of you guys know if the artist has previous works? From the beginning there was something off despite the style looked so good. And then there was a panel in which the tips of MC's hair are oddly rounded and with irregular traces, as if they had forgotten to fix that image. Color is also irregular, like full shading in faces and flat on clothes (again, in some panels).
I just read first chapter and I can say it's not my alley so I wasn't going to keep reading, but as an artist myself, the idea of AI generated manwhas makes me extra uncomfortable. So I wanna check if someone else's noticed it or if you know the artists to discard this
I'm so happy to see this is still being translated, but please please PLEASE consider supporting the artist on Ridi. It genuinely hurts my soul how underrated this series is. I've finished the raws months ago and it's still my favorite BL. The only thing I don't like it's that my expectations are so fucking high right now, like it's ruined me for any other psychological story.
So, again, please consider showing Yeaze support on official platforms so we get official translations (and maybe more content) one day
I'm sorry but I'm not taking the same bl shit, not with them.
Last chapter I was surprised, not in the right way, by the sudden change in Eunseung's attitude because he mostly knows what happened to Taegun, but I decided to give him the benefits of the doubt because I loved Eunseung as a thoughtful top for once.
And don't get me wrong, I love when they get kinky, it's not fluff what I'm expecting. It's the whole "you're not in your right state of mind and I see you're distressed but I wanna fuck you so bear with it, you're not gonna break" situation. Idk, it feels like it's suddenly ooc to complete the usual bl agenda and it kinda pisses me off:(
I shall say it almost lost me with the dUB con, but I love the drawings so much and the top is so fucking crazy, but the story acknowledges it and I have the feeling they'll match each other's freak. So I'm in, eagerly waiting (●'◡'●)ﾉ
I recently found that Placebo let's play became a proper manwha after a popular fucked up one shot and I really hope this one follows the same route.
It's messy but I love how it circles at the end. The romantic side in me wishes the bottom spoke clearly about how the sister gave a fuck about his brother so to ease the top's anxiousness and bad feelings tho.
I'd love to know more about them for sure and how the relationship develops from now on :(
From the very cover you know this'll be fucked up, and the plot and characters don't let you down with this. So I don't get why I'm reading comments complaining and saying they hate that this or that character because of what they've done. Of course you can hate them, but I think 4 chapters were enough to say the kind of story we have here is not the pink ultra romantic one, so yeah, you always can choose stop reading (:
I can't wait to read more. As long as consent is still a thing, all the "It's fucked up, I'm fucked up, but I can't stop loving and wanting you" trope is so my cup of tea. I'm still kinda lost with the timeline but hopefully I'll figure it out
