No but why do all the recent BL manhwa I've been reading keep ending so abruptly??? Especially the ones that seem like they have a solid plot to them too. Yet I've read ones that are so ridiculous and purely smut (which isn't exactly bad) that go on for like 40+ chapters
Honestly this is Inhwee's first relationship so I get why he is the way he is, although I still find it ridiculous he tried to put up a persona that he was some super playboy. I understand that's why their relationship started cuz of Jeongwon using that as some sort of IN to get closer to him, but that got old real quick and he should've just been honest. So seeing him seem more upset over that in this chapter (the idea that Jeongwon knew all along) as opposed to losing the ring... As for Jeongwon, he genuinely likes him and it shows, right now he's going through the lost of his grandfather and just wanted to comfort and support of his boyfriend that he couldn't properly get cuz said guy is in his own head over something ridiculous. That being the not an actual playboy thing, seeing as he came clean quickly about losing his ring. Now why I marked this as a spoiler is cuz I've seen the raws and it looks like they've broken up, not sure which of the two decided to say it, but Inhwee is keeping his distance (like a fool smh) but Jeongwon clearly wants him back. Also Inhwee needs to cut out that toxic friend of his, the creepy dude that gets way too touchy with him.
Finally I get to read the end, I've always looked at the raws and wondered what was being said though it was obvious what was happening. This is genuinely one of my favorite BL manhwa series, the character development for Iliyan was so good though knowing how long he's been drinking, makes me think realistically he might not have such a long life. But anyways I wish this had lasted longer, maybe getting to see their wedding and even adopted babies and just Kyle and Iliyan being a loving adorable couple just a bit more. I kinda really hate a good chunk of the side stories were wasted on Gale and Robin's toxic af relationship.
This was a truly sad chapter, I like that we were able to see his grief not just as a child but even well enough into his teen years. While I get he wanted to stay for the dream both him and his dad had for him, it was extremely irresponsible for the best friend to leave him as a child all alone. Also one thing that had me like ehh was him asking Hyun to call him father. Like he wasn't a toddler when he lost his dad, he knew what was going on so to be asked to call someone who was his father's best friend, father just because he adopted him. Asking him to call him uncle or maybe a nickname would've been better.
I was wondering with the last chapter if it would end but that's not the case~ I'm glad to see Na-chan's story is expanding and it seems he's going to get his own alien boyfriend lol. But if that's Shio's uncle wouldn't that mean he's much older? He also looks half human considering if his sister is the mom, well her hair looks like when they splatter. Would honestly love for them to turn this into an anime later on
I've been reading spoilers on this one so I ASSUMED it'd be longer but wtf. Why was the manhwa forced to end so abruptly? They literally cut out how much of the original story from the novel.. This is so messed up, I wonder if they overworked the artist (wouldn't be surprising or the first time) so they cut it short or if this ending was always planned for the manhwa adaptation. Anyways this was a huge let down, clearly more should've been shown but whatever I guess. Seems like that's the fate of most BL works
I loved this manhwa a lot, such a great story and great main characters tbh. I do hate that Iliyan's father never got what he deserved for the fucking child abuse he inflicted on him but whatever I guess. Also finally seeing the translation for Kyle's parents is so nice. The mom was honestly so different from what I imagined since it seems like Kyle takes after his dad, but she's still very sweet. It's a shame the story ends after this cuz it would've been sweet to see their married life and Iliyan being spoiled by Kyle's parents. Also Gayle looks like he's kinda older than his mom which is wild.
Pretty sure another group was translating this and their version was uploaded first so why.
Why did he suddenly become tall but then after having sex, he shrunk back to his normal size?? I feel like this should've at least been a 20 chapter series instead cuz that felt random. Also why does it say to be continued at the end?
Why the hell do their dicks look like that? It almost looks idk CGI??? I legit don't know what the word is for it but their dicks look out of place with the rest of the art, it's bothering me lmao.
I actually thought this story was cute, really loved the art too. Hoping this artist does another BL soon, whether it's an original story or another manhwa adaptation of a novel. Also was this the actual ending for the novel? It just leaves a lot to be desired, I wanted to see more of these two. I do agree ending it in an almost fight that led to a one sided misunderstanding was very odd. Even if it got resolved in the final chapter.
This chapter was fucking sad, the way I actually teared up when he was crying and begging to see his father again. Poor baby, both of them tbh because Yui's parents seemed nice too but that psychotic fucking brother of his. I swear if by the end of this that evil fucking twin doesn't get the worst ending ever after all the shit he's done, causing the death of his own parents plus Hyun's father. To think this manhwaga usually makes comedy romance stories but this one they decided to make it hurt.
I feel like I'll need to reread it from the beginning eventually cuz some parts are still confusing. Also fuck Seongtae and Jintae's parents, wtf would you send you baby to an orphanage, even if he wasn't planned I'm sure they could've taken care of him. But yeah the next chapters are... definitely don't blame him for essentially murdering those people.
So he's been eating humans... Was this mentioned before or even hinted at? I honestly can't remember. I do wonder when ML (I can't remember his name lol) will I guess get his memories back?
I've been looking at the raws for this one and it's cute tbh. It's interesting that this is a story about a retired athlete and one who is still active as one, they're both university students too. It's sad that MC had to retire because of his injury, but it's nice seeing him get closer to ML, who I believe is someone he's admired for awhile now. And from the raws, it looks like they become friends, and ML's friends and teammates get close and become friends with him too. Anyways so far I'm liking this so I'm excited for each update.
I wonder what was the reason for discontinuing it. Was this based on a novel or was it an original story? Either way it sucks cuz the art was great and the plot was interesting.
At least I considered it that since Virtual Strangers just sounds so dull and lazy on the translators part, which is weird cuz I usually trust lezh*n (and tappyt**n) more when it comes to these things. At least we'll always have the tl group's version up to kinda compare and contrast to the officials. I do wonder how long it'll take for season 2 to actually release, cuz a lot of the time they do mass releases so maybe the season 1 officials will be almost caught up by then?
The art is cute and it's interesting to see the MC use his skills as a pharmacist in his current life to make meds for himself (how would he even know what to make tho) and even medication for others. I am curious if we'll see this other husband, since it seems this is based on a novel I wonder if this manga will be longer. I feel like the BL manga with these type of story lines don't last long, and only one I can think of had a reincarnation/transmigration type story that has had almost 16+ chapters but the tl for it is kind of off. And there was another that was like this, based on a novel but unfortunately the manga was super short. Anyways I hope this one is at least more than one volume.
I don't know when the officials will release (edited this since it seems like lezh*n will be the one releasing the official version ) but whoever is doing these fan translations, they are doing a really fucking professional job. I wish these would be uploaded with credit pages (if there are any) to give credit where it's due. Unless they wish to not reveal themselves
I had hoped this would go on for another season, just to see them really getting into the groove of dating and being able to truly enjoy their time together and be in love. Really loved this manhwa, story and art!
