The art is phenomenal, the characters are great in design, dynamic and personality. The story looked really interesting at the start.
I just think the proto-hunter plot was really stupid? Either a) All hunter can choose to awaken, but some choose not to, or b) Not every hunter is capable of awakening. a) makes no sense, because why would this group of people choose to be weaker for no reason. "They're standing up against the awakened!" makes no sense, when they could become awakened at any time b) makes no sense, because if that was the case, why would mc automatically be considered a danger? This isn't even "there is prejudice in this story" thing, because ml was willing to bet his life on it and never considered the possibility of having love mc regardless
The rape is lame. This isn't even a thriller or something like that, so it's obvious it was shoehorned in to skip communication and get to sex. You can't even say "Oh well, they're both into it, even though it had to happen through manhwa-rape-conventions", because in every sex scene, one of them is crying and begging the other one to stop or saying it hurts. Even when they're already having sex, you can't get into it, because there's no damn lube and no damn prep. Sorry, just because all you eat is ant guts, doesn't mean you suddenly don't have poop in your bum. Also!!!! And this is important! I've seen multiple manhwas now trying to make asshole-ripped-to-the-point-of-bleeding a hot thing and we need to band together as fellow perverts and make it clear we won't stand for this. If you want blood in sex, get into knife-play like every other respectable artist.
And now, this is only my personal taste so bear with me, but I think I'd be cool if:
1)They played up the trauma a bit more. I mean it's been ten years, he shouldn't be able to function as well as he does. I wish more communication about their feelings happened on both sides and that we got to see them heal a little bit together
2)Screw ten years, make it twenty!!! Or however long to make the younger brother suddenly visibly older. I mean some of those anime-dad-wrinkles under the eyes and maybe a beard, but I know that's a bit too radical for the no-pubes art. I want to see that reversal of their caretaking dynamic played up to the max! He used to be older and took care of you and now he's suddenly younger and has no place in this new world! Oh fuck!! Maybe I just need to reread Regas idk
Overall pretty okay, but the potential leaves be prancing around the room.
