burabura want to read (All 16)
beta
Finally its over. I'm glad cause everytime i read the update i tell myself, what the hell am i doing, why do i still read it. But i bound to continue cause i want to know how this author will end this series. At least the big breast lady and the chicken guy dead (just like i predicted). But i also predicted that they all die...sooo 2 alive out of many. Not bad me. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I've just finished read all total of 21 ch of hua hua you long novel and I'm confused. From ch 1 till ch 12 the story revolved around -sadistic twisted seme X stockholm syndrome uke- with rape theme, but sudently, from ch 13 till end, the story become standard -possesive seme X loving uke- with "harlequin type" sex scene. The transition was so abrubt that make me feel like reading two different couple. Is the author of vol 1 and 2 really the same person? Did i read the "right" novel or just a dj? Help...
nope, that's the whole novel. i can actually kind of see jing falling in love with lu, like he was raping him to get over his uncle and then along the way fell in love. but i don't get why lu cang fell in love with jing, like he was constantly abused and humiliated in front of people, drugged and used as a replacement and he still fell in love with him, like how.
i still really loved the novel though haha :)
I was also confused when I got to that part. Sorry, I don't know the answer myself, but I'd also like to know. Actually, the abrupt change made me stop reading because it was a major plot hole. I honestly thought it reflected bad writing, like the author didn't know how to gradually transform their relationship and opted for the "months/years pass and everything's changed" thing. I didn't mind that their relationship got better (though have to admit that the uke's hardship appealed to me a little cause I'm a bit of a o.o sadist tbh), but I'd like to enjoy that part knowing how the #%$& they got there. I mean the the seme went from "when I find you I'm gonna skin you alive! " to "Oh darling, did they badmouth you? Here, let me make it all better (づ￣ ³￣)づ".
When I was still attached to the story, I made up some stuff trying to fill in the gaps, like maybe the uke successfully escapes and goes into hiding after he moves his bandits off the mountain and away from the capital. The seme angrily pours his resources into finding him, but his duties as emperor inhibit him from going all out. So years after, the seme finally finds him and drags him back to the palace where he resumes tormenting the uke. But seme's hatred had gradually dissipated, leaving him heartbroken and lonely. Grieving because the man he'd loved took his own life (you know, the old man that was his wife's father), he finds comfort in the uke. One thing leads to another and... wallah! A mushy, romantic relationship.
But yeah, that's what I like to think happened in that uncertain timespan.
So glad that u feel it too #highfive. Because of all the review about this novel was always good, so i wonder did i read the wrong novel, haha. Not that this novel was bad, but that 'major plot hole' that u mention before, made me feel unsatisfied after read it.
Exactly...but just like they say...when it comes to love, even poison taste like sweet (or something like that..i just made it up) bhahahahaha
if you liked it though you can check out 'fallen hero' from the same author. it's pretty similar but without physical abuse and rape. :)
So seme is a criminal that steal sister's money, but what does he gain from uke?
Daichi had his doubts about Igawa when they first met and he seemed to be trying to figure out what this guy's after. So, if he were to leave it as is and Mana tells Daichi about them making a joint account to save for the wedding a couple months after they start dating, before she even meets his parents, he might smell a scam. So, he needed to get Daichi on his side and at the same time jealous of his sister, so that he won't interfere with the plan. Also, after the scam is done, Daichi might not want to pursue Igawa or go to the cops coz if everything comes out, it will also come out that he slept with Igawa (though I doubt they actually did; it looked more like a setup) which will destroy his relationship with Mana for good.
Ahhh it makes sense. I think it's easier for me to understand if i imagine daichi was a girl. Seducing them both will guarantee that daichi won't take any action regarding the scam. I'm really excited to know what will happen next.
