I might get hate for this, but I'm gonna say it anyway..
Reading this reminds me of the time I found out about Finder, everyone hyped it so much, they made it seem like it was one of the best BL mangas every written, and when I read it it was an absolute shitfest.
This one isn't so bad, but my god, people kept telling me this was not like any other omegaverse manhwas, everyone said this was good, but it's just pretty disappointing. It's not so bad, but it's not good enough. There's nothing about this story that stands out, even some parts of the story has crappy writing, and crappy lines. I did sit and read all of it because maybe it gets better because it's being praised so much, no. LMAO
You don't have to like it but it isn't like other omegaverse stories. You may dislike the dialogue that's valid but it isn't the stereotypical omegaverse with a rich dom alpha tormenting a baby faced weak omega to the point of mindbreak. You can dislike something but acknowledge the things it does right.
even that factor can't really make up for how it lacked meeting my expectations. ive seen dynamics like these a lot too, and this can't even shine on the one thing that makes this story 'unique'.
The only thing i think it as done right is the strong and healthy relationship that the couple currently has, aside from that it's absolute shit.
I can't even like the omega here since, he's a full on jerk, his actions contract to the things he believed and despise in. and that assistant he has is absolutely useless, i mean, the author only made him just to be the catalyst to progress the plot, the whole reason for his betrayal on the omega was so half-assed hell, I don't think the author even put effort and thought at all. The only likeable characters here is the top, the omegas goons, and the extras.
Just because it has something to stand out on doesn't make it less of what a mess it is
*contradict
This story has shown me more things to dislike on, and the things that make it redeemable isn't even properly executed. Disappointing. In the end, no matter how much the author tries to go about the story to make it more unique, behind that reversed role bullshit, it's still the same ol typical omegaverse that people claim to be different on. The omega still gets raped and push around, the alpha is still more dominant and the one with the upper hand, the omega remained weak and taken advantage of. There was no development in this story except for the couple's relationship.
Bro while i disagree you have every right to feel that way however that's not what i was talking about. I said specifically you can't blame the people who say that it is different from the average omegaverse bc it actually is.
Literally no? Again you can dislike it but what you say is plain wrong. Jae in is not weak and outside the bedroom he's the one that controls the relationship. And apart from thr bedroom taeyoon is the most laid back alpha ever
Sorry i kept repeating some shit, mangago layout always makes me gets confused, i just yap it all without even reading what i just said
and I can still blame them because they're wrong, my reason for that, is somewhere in this thread LMAO
No....please read what I said again, or maybe try a bit of perspective, maybe skim a bit on the story again, perhaps?
I don't even read the bedroom scene, panel by panel, I'm bored of seeing naked bodies and reading text bubbles just full of heavy breathing and moans.
I'm not saying he's weak by the way, never did, and what you said about being in control, is what my whole point was to begin with. It may look like the omega is the one in control, and that may be true, but if you compare their relationship to other omegaverse couples they're far from different.
I'm still not gonna think this story is any difference from omegaverse stories, if that's the only thing worth praising on, then it's no different. There are lots of work like these that has the same reversed role like the couple has, and they've all been able to execute it fairly good, this one feels like it's just playing dress up, pretending to be something it's not
*DIFFERENT omfg whats with my typos
I hate when authors add love triangles just to move a plot bro, hell even an amnesia is a better trope than this
Nah, it's a weak 3rd party. He really is just a tool to make Kang eat his words about not chasing Ahn.
Whatever that is, love triangle, affair, any plot that adds a third person just to shake up the main couples relationship, I don't particularly enjoy those, specially if the whole series or season is just centered in that tug of war between the second and male lead. That's why i avoid stories like yours to claim.
I'm not saying i hate the Story right now, it's good theres still a boundary between that guy and the MC, i just don't particularly like idea that the author made another story for them just to have this specific conflict. I get it, relationships have ups and downs, but im just fed up with stories pulling the third party card. im still gonna read it tho
The author wanted to develop Kang's character because I do think the prequel is more about Ahn. So I get it. I don't think there are other ways to make Kang break his character. But that's just me.
I don't get it. Aside from Kang getting jealous and angry in the previous chapters, there's not really much of a change here. The previous story was clear enough about how serious Kang is with Ahn, even giving up about the idea of going back to the states like he planned, and resigning from his position..? (if i remember correctly)
Is jealousy, and miscommunication really the only appropriate catalyst for their relationship to grow tho? :')
The author did such an amazing job on their first story that having to read a plot like this from them is just kinda suprising and a bit disappointing yknow? What sucks is it feels like there's not even a point of them being there, even his interest with Ahn don't really make much sense.
I don't see the relationship has to grow per se. I think they are already fine in that area. It's just Kang is so mature and composed. Even when he says being with Ahn makes him do things he hasn't done before, we haven't really seen him break his character, in contrast Ahn who wears his heart on his sleeves.
Right now we are seeing him being upset, anxious, agitated and having more expressions than the usual stoic, cool face. It's quite cute.
That also addresses his statement last time that he would let Ahn go. I mean sure he gave up things for Ahn but I think this time what Ahn/author wants is to make Kang a bit more selfish. To not give up Ahn because he doesn't want to let go, instead doing again what benefits Ahn. I hope my English made sense lol.
There's not much to explore in this sequel that's why it seems lackluster. The relationship is already stable, nothing will really break them or disturb them. Just tinkering with Kang and his mature bravado.
Are we...seeing the same Kang?
You might wanna skim the first and second story about :')
I tried to skim myself, check out chapter 1-6 in this story, 88 and 79 on the other
Even without reading it panel to panel, even looking at both the manhwa covers, you can tell Kang is def not the type you think he is hahaja, even in chapter 1, he's already bursting of laughter.
Oh I get it, the last part, you're ref to chap...26? I think he mentioned he'd try his best living up to the kind of ideal partner for Ahn
Yes he is not that stoic but he is portrayed as cool. Even when he's laughing he is still cool. Cool because he is mature. He is mature because he almost always knows what to do. Barely acts or does anything childish, barely gets angry. If he doesn't like something, he doesn't get grumpy - at least from what I remember on both series. He almost always gives in to Ahn. Resigned at his job and started a company - sure it's all business but part of it is because it's Ahn. Bought a convertible because of Ahn. And more.
So development in Kang would be to be more selfish. And idk what chapter it is, if it's 26 but they were drinking and that started them arguing.
"WE ARE SO BACK" i yell alongside the others as i scroll through chapter 1 because i literally just found and started reading this today
RIGHT! How did I not know about this series when Sign is one of my all time faves
wasnt the no. 2 on the list a luxurious yacht? LMAO i wanna see the full list
it's kinda funny when people who side with J.J get more hate than the one who sides with Leo. There are people saying that they're both at fault, but let's be honest, if anyone here has done more mistakes than the other, it's definitely Leo. Even though we're seeing it exactly in Leo's perspective, he's acknowledging it as well, people still try to defend him as if he's gullible and has no idea what's going on. He knows what's going on now, yet still there's no change in his behavior. The way he's acting in the present and how he's treating J.J is no different than the past. He's not learning anything.
I really don't get why you're all defending him, saying people who support J.J are projecting. How does that make sense? I saw someone saying that, but then admits they like toxic characters, yet somehow people who defend J.J are far more worse? I get that complex characters are interesting, theres character development, they go through ups and downs, but that hasn't happened with Leo yet, he's still the same as before and you guys are thinking like he's had his redemption arch just because he's all depressed now and realizing his mistakes have consequences. Get real.
If anyone here is projecting, it's those people that still think Leo is right, despite his flaws being laid out in front of everyone every single chapter, you guys still continue to play blind.
No one is right. Just because people dont agree with how leo is being treated doesnt mean they side with him. Lol its not redemption its him realizing thats its really over and he messed up i havent really seen anyone said they need to get back to together or anything just more so whats up with the aggression
Yeah ofc, and it's not redemption, yes, i meant that there's some people that think just because it finally dawned on Leo that they've actually broken up, means that he's realizing his mistakes now, and actually doing something to fix it, but no, he actually hasn't hit the nail on the head yet and he still has a long way before becoming a better character, a better lover, maybe
Idk i havent seen any comments that think he has fixed anything.Only that Jj is being overly aggressive. I mean he only had the realization 2 episodes ago realistically hes wallowin. And last part is a stretch lol we havent even seen what their relationship was even like fr.
Uhh I feel like you keep misunderstanding my words, like the redemption and then fix. Haha. Also I don't know what to say really, we're shown a few panels of flashbacks from time to time, good ones and the bad, theres some lines from others talking about their relationship too, and from the main characters themselves. Even though we haven't gotten a full flashback of their love story, we did get enough that we're able to understand what they've been before, we even got a flashback from when they first met.
Real
I don’t believe im misunderstanding. The few flashbacks that they showed us mainly showed snippets of reasons of why they broke up, and how they started dating. In reality this story started off with the end of their relationship. The good that they showed benefits JJs side of the story. In the last two chapters the energy from those videos are way different then the story we’ve been reading so far.
What? Please read all my comments again, and yours too. You are, You're saying you didn't see any comments about Leo having a redemtion arc or him fixing his himself but that was not the point im getting at. For the love of god its tiring to explain these things when people just hear what they wanna hear. I'm not saying he's had those things, it's the way just because Leo has had these thoughts that people think he's getting better now and he won't make past decisions. Bro its 2am HAHA
And also, even with only a few flashbacks, it's enough to get a grasp of how they used to be, what they were like, Leo especially. We've seen those happy moments, and how sweet they were to each other, but we've also seen a bit of what J.J dealt with, like how Leo brushed of the idea of going on a date (or a vacation maybe) just because he thinks it's inconvenient. He didn't even bother asking J.J whether or not je was fine witj that, and just made the decision on his own.
There's really not much to clarify. The author showed us the ups and downs, and then we can guess from that, that it's how their relationship is. If you feel like you need more of that to get a better understanding, then that's fine, but with what we've have, it's enough that we're not completely clueless
yikes i explained this badly HAHAHA
I don't know about you guys but I'm completely on J.J's side here. Mainly because I've been in his shoes too. It's easy to throw out the 'communication is key' shit but really if you're in that sort of relationship with that sort of person, that idea of just talking it out with them can be disregarded with their behavior. Sometimes you don't need an answer or an explanation to something, a person's actions are enough alone. When you constantly get treated like how J.J was, you get fed up that you won't even care about what the other person has to say anymore. Imagine your lover constantly showing you these red flags, it doesn't have to be similar to Leo's, you've tried pointing it out and the relationship has been going on for years and still his behavior doesn't change one bit. You'd start to think it's a lost cause.
Also, even if you guys say that they're both lacking communication, i feel like Leo's been the one to ignore the chances for it. J.J has been pointing out Leo's attitude towards their relationship, like how he feels like Leo is not treating him like a boyfriend, other things too, like how Leo prioritizes himself more without even sparing a thought of J.J, and it's not only J.J that's been calling out his behavior, it's their friends as well, even at the start before the break up. You guys can say that 'oh J.J knows that's what his personality is like before they started dating. he knew what he was getting into' No he didn't, Leo's out-going and extroverted personality has nothing to do with him failing to care more about his partner, his thoughts and emotions. And he may have been clueless that doesn't mean that that's an excuse and that you guys can just blame it all on J.J. He's failed to acknowledge J.Js words, failed to notice how his decisions impacted J.J, he doesnt even ask wether how J.J would feel or how he would feel about things. He thinks only for his own. I'm not saying he doesn't love him, but people can still be self-centered even if you're with the person you love.
So yeah...i have much more to say but I'm yapping too much. I felt like I didn't explain it properly so hopefully no one gets the wrong idea.
No its a very well thought about yap i respect it
i think jj breaking things up is his last resort to get leo his shit together and then when jj thought they would reconcile leo suggest to be fuck buddy...... i sympathize with leo as I'm the same as him but his so immature and dense that jj could not bear it anymore. i think it's a good decision that they break up cuz they get plenty of time to reflect, but this shit is so sad ╥﹏╥
u seem to be the only sane one in these comments, cs wtf r these comments
EXACTLY.
LMAOOO
