Whoa actually 100% agree, I actually had almost par for par the same thoughts- i felt kind of disappointed as well with him becoming or regaining his reincarnations memories and just like, becoming him sort of?? I loved taehyuks introduced personality and character, and It felt like all we had worked for through the chapters with taehyuk got just kind of like. Thrown away is dramatic, but like overwritten and it felt sad. Like he was very much his own person with one of my fave personalities I've seen in a bl- he fell in love with hyo un by himself, even with the "fated mates" - I accepted that as well but didn't feel that strongly about it because honestly thankfully it didn't feel like it was forcing them to be together, like slamming them against eachother to like eachother because- fate ♡ - like, taehyuk fell in LOVE naturally and it was one of my fave bl moments I've read. And like you said all of it just kind of being yanked away by an intangible force, in kind of honestly unsatyfying way- almost felt like he died in a way. He was obviously quite literally a different person in his past life, looks aside obviously, and the fact that hyo un fell in love with taehyuk, who he thought wasn't even his fated mate throughout a lot of the plot made this manhua so much more special and endearing.
So yeah. I couldn't really put into words my feelings and it's crazy but nice to know someone out there has literally the exact same thoughts lol
It was and is such an odd feeling but i still literally feel quite disappointed and almost am like, mourning taehyuk lol- it feels just kind of weird now with like, his past self sort of taking over or like melting into him, i have no idea how to put it into words but it almost make me like. Sort of. Like uncomfortable in like a weird liminal way lol -
and mentioning when hyo un was a child in the past and those chapters I felt the same, it started to make me uncomfortable for the same reasons, with it obviously feeling like even though he was swol he was like, still a little child, just. Yikes. And then tbh the honest non con vibes after the sexual themes, again, with sort of a child, and it never seemed like taehyuk even up until he died saw hyo un other than his child. A fascinating juxtaposition then, to current time hyo un and taehyuk, being the best, healthiest- mostly- most in love and best chemistry and again, that happend naturally and they thought they were meant to be together and obsessed with eachother before they had memories.
I don't know man - I have a lot of feeling lol
Yes! Yes! You said it!!! Taehyuk felt pretty much dead at the end, replaced by his ancestor's spirit, soul or whatever the fck!!
Because yeah, there's is that "LITTLE" detail as well, instead of a whole réincarnation, they strangely all reincarnate in the same family so it's basically his great great grandpa's boyfriend he ended up with...
I should stop thinking about stories once I'm done reading them =,=
But I got mixed feelings.
I liked it, the story was interesting and the characters were cool but once again, that shit fate thing came in and somehow ruined it.
(It may be too much to say it "ruined" it, but... It made me really slow down the reading)
I liked taehyuk for who he was introduced as, and I also liked the "official mate" one, but as two separate entities. The one that was a father figure for hyo un was sweet and I would have loved him not going physical with the boy he literally raised, even though the feelings and desire of hyo un felt somewhat logical, it still made me uncomfortable at some point.
And the fact that taehyuk was reduced as nothing more than the réincarnation of the "real" main character, it made me sad.
It was quite obvious from the very beginning but it still made me sad, because his love story was no more and turned into some kind of fatality, an unavoidable event decided by some sort of intangible force.
I don't know if I'm making myself clear but I wasn't too fond of this part of the story.
And the sex scenes felt waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long. The art was great tho.
