This was weirdly fun
... Or funnily weird?
But it feels incomplete, I need some explanation about wigglemichi, my suspension of disbelief feels betrayed here
Ahhh wtf is that shit it was heart wrenching wtf poor misaki must have been fucking terrified, as for jin my boy how do you even put some parts of your body in a thing that reacts as if it's alive but fit your pocket! what is there in that pretty head of yours, bubbles?
Also how come in 2024 some people still don't know that fictional gays don't shit?
#－.－)
Does that dude sleep with his mask wtf
bro thats what i thought too help
Well the mask was quite important in the character build of the protagonist, it makes it even weirder. I wonder why the author left this here
Heeeh... this is very unfinished, uh?
Honestly there so many red flags on the first chapter that i could barely read the words in the bubbles but!
!!
!!!
It was interesting!
The end fell a little flat after all that drama with the civil war, king's death, his brother's betrayal and all so i admit i was expecting something more... Grandiose?
Zain was a colossal shit and i especially waited to see his head on a plate in the middle of a banquet table but i guess this ending made sense with the protagonist's mindset.
But what about... The rest? There's a huge part of the story missing?
So that author knows more than porn?
It was cute and funny, and i fucking love that ferret. it's nice to see an unusual pet
-dogs are still my favourite though -
in a bl manga, give us some more funny uncommon pets, authors.
Let's trade your usual rape trope with cool useless pets.
if you're talking about echo jiro, then they have nothing to do with this work because this is from a different author that goes by echo. dunno why mangago thinks they have the same author but they dont.
Well it would have been surprising if it were the author xD
I still like that ferret tho
They both had sex at the same time with th younger version of their partner while thinking of them as totally separate entities... That's totally cheating or I'm just stuck up af???
I'm not really comfortable with that part of the story...
This part of the story feels super subjective because I personally really didn't liked it; *totally* felt like cheating immediately and felt wrong honestly even outside of the cheating. Just in general, BAD taste.
But I get why it doesn't feel that bad to others and even nice because they can experience each other again and in different ways. So I don't think you're stuck up, just a preference thing here! I felt the same and I'm sure plenty of others do too
Oh thank you i thought my "boomer" side was out of control today when i saw the positive wave ofcomments, but indeed i didn't really see it under this light. I think i really was hit harder by how they really separate the younger and actual partner
-since it's presented like they "swapped", not got"suddenly got younger", or that they "wanted the older one back" not they wanted them back to be older (I don't know if I'm making myself clear here xD)-
So yea, i think i too saw them as two different persons.
But thanks for explaining it differently, it makes sense even though i can't really read it this way (due to my mindset probably)
if i had to bring an opposite point of view, i'd say It didn't felt like cheating at all, i mean it didn't even come to mind before you started talking about it because, well, they're clearly the same persons!
The author really empathizes that point as we see them behaving in similar ways +, i mean, they've done it together before when they were that age!
I get that there were two of them existing at the same time, but it's too bad the author characterisation of their little habits didn't reach you!
but hey, that's life and that's it>^< there's no harm i mean.
Yea igeb0625 explained it to me and i somehow agree with [THE IDEA] Of them being the same person even though they're not. in the end, the only one who remembers the past time travel events is the mc, ml forgot everything and the younger couple too, thus they weren't the same.
or it was all a dream and that would make the whole thing more logical and his kinks more questionable.
But like i said, the thing DURING the reading that made me uncomfortable was their interactions (which could actually come from the translation) they talk about two separate entities.
Not "you who suddenly look 10 years younger",
but
"the 10 years younger you",
he right away said that they "swapped", not that he suddenly shrinked (or aged bcause the 2 couples reacted the same way) I know it's subtle but if you reread it, you'll notice right away.
Well in the end it's just how I felt.
I guess I'm happy for you that it didn't bother you, but it kinda disturbed me. At the same level that both these adults didn't hesitate a single second to jump a literal inexperienced and clueless kid.
So like igeb said, that's just not everybody's thing.
Welp, then i'm glad we had this discussion, i guess we just feel different, but that makes it interesting!
BUT YEAH i must say it also???? me when they both were okay with jumping the 10 y younger version of their bf.
Plot wise it makes sense, i see what the author wanted to show, and the sex scene was the perfect way to point out what was wrong between their older versions, BUT it's still ????
Cause, okay they fucked before anyway but ?? kinda weird.
Just because i see what the author wanted to do with it doesn't make it less questionable (￣(ｴ)￣)
Oh i also perfectly understood where the story was going, but the process was... Ugh.
That's the problem, the only things that work with time travels are the paradoxes and shits that arise from it XD
I really think a dream would have lead to the same result and made the whole thing less cringy, but this is how the author wanted it to be so...
At least there's an audience for it, which I'm just not part of lol
Yeah, the process is kinda sus, but oh well, it's done now anyway x")
I am the same as you. For me, our experiences are what make us "US". Changed one thing about yourself, and it's not really "you" anymore. But yeah, that's just me. I find it uncomfortable reading that I skimmed through it. I liked the story but I would prefer if they didn't add a sex part with their younger selves and just communicate with them because I don't think it's really NECESSARY in the story yk?
I absolutely agree. Communication is the key of healthy relationships but this is not a thing in yaoi lol... I guess anything is fine for most if the audience as long as they fuck.
Just not my cup of tea, and the censorship always ruins the immersion for me anyways, so i tend to prefer shounen ai. I can't really stay immersed when there's a hole in the drawing xD At least in no smut stories, authors find other ways to get the story where it's heading to, and I'd probably have preferred this one without the weird sex situations.
But the MC alone alone makes the read worth it, the dude is hilarious
We should all have a hitman for hire bank account and carry around a fucking hammer xD
The story is messy, the author just threw in their ideas without really organising them, the rhythm sucks (the events really didn't flow naturally, there were huge ass pauses here and there so the protagonists.... Could fuck --'
Before resuming the plot) but the art was nice and like i said... The MC. He's the mvp here
Dont forget the socks fixation, i literally laughed out loud for a hot minute, it was so random it took me off guard i just finished binge reading it and its the thing that stuck with me the most wwww
Omg the socks i forgot about it, and the whole plaid pattern thing as well ! But honestly the hitman for hire is a thing i would personally use, and the hemmer is my secret terrorism dream (i carry a screwdriver instead, it's more discreet )
I swear we're getting closer with each new manwha to those weird ass bara where dudes go around with human sized dicks tucked in their shirt all the way up to their chin (these are hilarious tho)
Okay, so the 30 first chapters were okay, we got to know their situation and see it somehow unravel but ... I found it boring at some point.
When they finally got together it was pretty much a succession of premium seme assholeness demonstrations with a little flashback of chae heon's childhood and it ended on a full disclosure of his obsession which made him a lot more antagonistic to me.
Aaaaall the side characters disappeared until they were the only ones left in this story.
In the end, it's just one more BL based on miscommunication, the art was very very nice though
To see some ADULTS with PUBIC HAIR, dick sized dicks and a censorship that doesnt look like a hole in the drawing that makes shit look like some weird ass lolicon porn.
It was sweet, there was no unnecessary drama and their doubts and insecurities were legit, and didnt magically resolve for the sake of an unrealistic and incoherent happy end.
The characters are very endearing and the story was very sweet.
The story is ridiculous and hilarious, but the translation seems off.
Yet I have a totally unrelated question and maybe people passing by will be able to answer it:
How the fuck
Do these yaoi dudes
Take off their pants
With their shoes on?
Told ya it was unrelated but I need to know.
Its yaoi universe, real life logic doesn't apply. Same way, they have sex in a bathroom with no lube and no preparation.
Yeah but, you know, some weirdos do it this way, even in real life hygiene and safety are not always such an obvious thing.
But taking off your pants with your shoes on, even in fiction I can't accept this sorcery xD
i totally forgot about that, why did I write that when I was half asleep
you're absolutely right
also totally understandable concern lmaoo
