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.
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 =,=
I'm sorry but fucking weirdo molester, nope.
And that brain dead writer too ffs don't just go and fall in love with that asshole editor who sexually assaulted you on your fucking second ever meeting what the hell when exactly do you call the hr and the police???
And that bullshit resolution please tell me it was just a random ass bad translation no bro, that's not what you said.you absolutely said that you wanted to use his look to catapult him on top of the market, like, literally what was that crap now.
The art was great though.
I was waiting to see what mystery he was hiding in that old house, like a dead body or some kind of stollen precious goods, maybe a dark history for that man who was sticking out like a sore thumb in his hide out in middle of nowhere but... Mh.
Should have checked the number of chapters before making up a real story all by myself, I'm entirely responsible for my disappointment here.
#－.－)
This was awful and it's absolutely not completed
That rapist king needs his head and dick separated from his body
Every time I get frustrated after reading something, I come back here like a reflex.
It's the 17th reread, I guess I'm not so lucky lately
Let's go for a 18th, huh
(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
It wasn't that good.
It's an Isekai so of course the plot was gonna be a sieve, and at that it didn't fail.
It had good points though.
The art -especially the food- was good even though the proportions were often off, or was it the perspective? I probably shouldn't point this out but the dramatic panels with the protagonists being twice the size of trucks were... Funny?
The characters were endearing but all in all, their personality were bland and beside Mujin, didn't have any development.
The kids were adorable and I sincerely laughed a few times.
But tbh, that's all.
It certainly can be enough for a lot of people but my suspension of disbelief got dropkicked right in the balls here,
And I think it's because of the author's tentative for explanations.
When you write something as fanciful as an Isekai, there are two ways:
Either you start the explanation that fits the laws of the universe you created,
Or you don't explain anything and focus on the story you want to tell.
Here the author tried to do both but came up with the explanation way too late in the story, and it seriously came out of nowhere, the villain popped out just because she was needed and never had any other roles than to explain the unexplainable with some vague magic power that had no substance or other purpose than to make shit happen.
The word "transmigration" was even thrown there like it was all planned and well thought of but sooooooo far in the story that it wasn't even needed.
So this kind of ruined the immersion for me.
I was okay with following the Isekai love story with its own intrigues and incidents, the protagonist even managed to become part of the universe with his own emotions and storyline, leaving aside his original intention of not tampering with the initial plot very naturally but suddenly BAM!
Here comes the rushed, incoherent and unnecessary explanation of the whole shit that nobody asked for, 10 bullshit chapters for free.
Also they were running in circles for a while, it kinda frustrated me, and their reunion felt really unnatural and rushed af.
He s dead, boy. You were at his funeral.
Doubt it at least for a while, don't just date a zombie because you're so in love ffs
What it needed was a longer arc where the MC drops subtle hints about his identity and everyone figures it out for themselves. But even then without any precedent to justify believing the supernatural it still would have felt undeveloped.
What should have happend was at least once or twice around the time he was rejecting the ML, he should have tried to explain that his time is limited. It would have triggered the mls abandonment issues leading to him having pointing out or imply that his sudden extreme change in personality was supernatural. The ML could have assumed he just had Multi personality disorder. That way when the MC finally came back the ML figuring it out would have made sense.
Sudden change in personality,
Implied his body is not his own
Knew major before they happen
Died but doppelganger appears
Doppelganger knows too much.
Specific way of cooking
And to end he could have cryptically said "its okay if you dont recognize me" leading to the ML eventually stewing over the meani ng forcing him to accept the supernatural explanation because there is no other answer and the mc already implied it several times.....but thats not what we got....(づ￣ ³￣)づ
Well yes, there were actually several ways to make the whole thing more coherent. But in the end I still felt literally kicked out of the story with the "explanation".
I was pretty immersed in the protagonists' cat vs mouse game, but when the magical duo popped I just lost focus and ended up with a shit ton of questions about them instead of the main characters
Like who are they,
what's this power,
how did they discover it
and master it enough to be able to send a specific person at a specific time of a specific book,
how would they know they are the only two in the whole world who possess it,
what the heck is their relationship and
why on earth would this girl hate her magical gay brother so much that she'd fuck him up like that,
how did the guy found out his crush was sent in a book and which one,
how does this world actually function since the mc just incarnated the "lousy side top"
-top, huh?! （￣へ￣）-
Meanwhile magical gay bro somehow created a whole brand new character for himself,
What happened to the magical siblings after the mc went back in the book,
How much time passes in their world vs the book's world since it looks like he just took a nap irl when he lived for months one the book,
Etc etc
... I've got LOTS of questions lol.
That's why I was very dissatisfied with this read ^^
I agree. But part ofnthe problem with that was how rushed everything got the moment he went back home. You can tell the author wanted to quickly wrap things up the moment the MC died.
Yes the ending just finished to entirely piss me off and made me rant in the comment section xD it was just absurd. Better stay dead if you're going to get that kind of fake ass grotesque réunion, for real x')
I didnt read any of your comment but since you wrote so much could you tell me is this like a really frustrating triangle where the dark haired guy is indecisive about the two who like him. Or is it obvious who he wants to be with? And one last question when does he choose? I'm not the biggest fan of triangles if they are frustrating.
It's not a frustrating love triangle in the sense that yes, it's very obvious who he wants to be with and you could say he chooses since the very beginning since he was never interested in the other guy.
Also, the object of affection in this love triangle is the red head, contrariwise of what the plot of the book planned in the story
Ah OK thanks for telling me, I started it and was not expecting the red head to be the object of affection but I'll look forward to seeing it happen.
So ... Question time
...just to confirm my theory...
The red head mc is actually the bottom and the meant to be bottom of the storyline in the story is your usual nippleless top?
I was wondering the same thing. Because the red head seems more of a bottom than the actual bottom. Mujin is unquestionable, top all the way.
Yes, also in lots of bl manhwa, tops don't have nipples. I don't know what but nipples seem to be a bottom's thing xD
But indeed Mujin couldn't be a bottom even if he got isekai-ed for 12 generations lol
And pretty badly at that
Can the fortune tellers spoil me a bit please:
What is this about, why is it so disliked and will I become rich in the next 5 years?
But I had to drop it at chapter 2.
It quickly became obvious that it was just some random ass porn but the art seemed nice until they stripped
Dude literally wears his back muscles above his skin wtf looks so weird, like some experimental anthropomorphic alien porn
You're each one half of a whole motherfucker, and why did my comment disappear when I didn't even mention that one publisher that shall not be named down here??
So as I was saying, the story had more potential than a romanticized Stockholm syndrome story and I still wanna know what exactly happened off sight, and I reaaaaaaaaally don't feel like rewriting everything now...
