The beginning of the series was so interesting, but the smut unfortunately brings it down (cause it's mostly dubcon through power play/dynamics, which I'll talk about later ☆). Their chemistry just doesn't show for me, but when they talk normally and have anything aside from sex, their dynamic is really fun to read. I'll keep reading because I see the author's artworks of them and I have faith she knows what she's doing. Basically, sex chemistry, eh, but their dynamic when they're not doing it, yeh
(☆) When the series first began, their foreplay was so good to read. The build up was fun because we got to see an active push and pull from Rian and Enzo. However, right now it's not as fun to read when they actually have sex because it's obvious who has the power (Enzo). I understand it fits his character because he's from the mafia, detached from morality, and is a MEGA sadist, but it still doesn't make their scenes as enjoyable to read as I thought it'd be (personally).
Right now, the only way to bring it up is through Enzo changing and some power being given back to Rian. So, yeah that's the end of my rant (；^ω^)
given even Rian himself is not a green-flag, I expected this much
Its not going to be the same sweet, head over heels in love like Red Candy
I'm sorry but Ban is def gonna try to give Shinwi up to Ray in some way I love you Ban, but ik ur unfortunately going to bend to wtver Ray says
Ban is literally such a cutieeee
I'm a sucker for action and futuristic settings so this is like a huge win for me. I'm really interested in learning more about Ban and the ML, especially their pasts.
Personally, I'm pretty interested to see where the story goes. It's clear power dynamics play an important part, especially with Ray and Ban since Ray is not only a cop, but he's also older and def groomed Ban. It'll be interesting to see Ban unlearn Ray's effects and grow as a character with the ML by his side (if that's the direction the story takes). Overall, I have high hopes and Ik the author won't disappoint because Driver's High was really good!!
are their names deadass "ray" and "ban"... rayban... oh DRIVERS HIGH thank you <3
Omg I noticed that too Its also pretty ironic considering Ray isn't the ML and potentially a minor antagonist
Personally, I love Dohu chasing Juheon. Like yeah, he messed up and is facing the consequences of his actions, he deserves to chase! As for Juheon, there’s definitely a bigger reason as to why he’s rejecting Dohu, and it probably has more to do with his aunt than not wanting anything to do with Dohu (it’s still a big part of that tho).
Dohu wants Juheon back or at least wants something between them that doesn’t involve Juheon rejecting his existence, so he’s going to persist because that’s just who he is. When Dohu focuses on something or someone, he doesn’t stop (he’s so direct, I personally love that). I can’t wait to see more of them and how the bully (Jitae or wtv his name was) plays a part in probably getting Juheon to open up more and give Dohu the full picture as to why he’s avoiding him (Cause there’s obv a bigger reason that Dohu isn’t aware of)
I'm just gonna pretend that the dad was always insane and all this was just a trigger point cause ain't no way you can be happy and sane then blame your literal toddler for ts
As much as I would love a twist of Uno shooting Enzo after last night, he can't do that
If it weren't for the fact that Enzo is his target and Uno HAS to be on his good side for the mission(which is why he apologizes) he would've 10000% beat his ass
Still love the story and stuff, but these past 2 chapters were a bit disappointing, something just felt off I hope the smut is over by the next chapter so I can see more clearly what direction the story takes
The chapter clearly portrayed Uno's discomfort, so it's safe to assume this will be part of the plot and prolly drive it further
Ngl, I was hoping they wouldn't yet... but in the end it was a cause and effect situation. No matter the roles, they would've done the same to each other, which I think kinda sets up an interesting dynamic on how they're somewhat similar in their own confidence and determination to dominate the other, which is basically power play
I have faith that the author will adress this (hopefully), but I'm definitely not rereading this chapter cause I'm a weak person, however, I do like seeing authors write dynamics where they try to constantly gain power over the other, so hopefully this will be interesting enough to keep reading ^^
If you can't stomach it, feel free to drop it, no one is forcing you to like or dislike it, we all have free will (^^)b
This story is genuinely so good TT I love a yaoi with actual plot, character writing, and an interesting setting
the author is gen so goated
