crystalvmin's manga / #Tragedy(2)

(CONTAINS SPOILERS AT THE LATTER HALF) I like the premise of this manhua a lot ! But it was confusing at first because I think the early translations weren't too good so it might be easy to misunderstand some dialogues and scenes, but I am grateful that the translations after chapter 60 did get much better and much easier to understand because this story is interesting enough. (SPOLERS START HERE) The only thing that was iffy for me was that at times within the 2nd world, it did come across as borderline shotacon or can be misconstrued that way with how much qin xian was becoming the target of wang yi's S tendencies when he transformed into a kid; and you definitely couldn't even interpret it as something innocent because he had even admitted these were "perverted thoughts". Even going back to the 1st world, some parts were hard to read because qin xian was definitely still a minor (17 years old, was it so hard to at least make him 18 T^T) with a 5-year gap with wang yi but there were a lot of scenes which were not appropriate for minor qin xian (that bartending job that caters and satisfies special guests, like no). Anyway, this could easily have been a 5-star manhua if 1) the earlier translations were better (I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be ungrateful and I know translating is hard work, but it is what it is), and 2) if the parts I had mentioned were altered or not included at all because they already had a lot of chemistry and we know they would've progressed into something more as the story went on. On a more positive note, I genuinely think Qin xian being a yandere isn't bad at all too (since he's not really the murderous type) because I think it fits well with wang yi's personality and him having S tendencies, they're both odd in their own ways. Plus, I think that the diversity of the novel genres tackled within the story is actually really cool. I'm excited to see how this story unfolds and I'll be waiting for updates.

I read this once before and my younger self rated this a 5 for some reason so I wanted to try reading it again. I knew the drama was nasty and the characters were dipshits, but I can’t even get past chapter 7 just because I was already cringing at the MC’s acting. I also felt bad for the junsik dude he seemed sincere with his feelings, but I don’t remember if he’d have the same possessive feelings like the old guy. This was 7.8 for a reason I really shouldn’t waste me time on it anymore lmao.
