i wish the seme in chp 9 had gotten angry at least :( .... like i imagine how uke's other guys must have looked down on him every time he arrived on the scene and they were having sex and uke was nonchalant about it, or how they were rude and stuff, or how they thought he was idiotic and a pushover for putting up with that situation... also the fact that uke in the end was asking about the last one bang... ugh. kinda hate how the author portrayed the whole thing in a comedic, nonsensical way.

baek jumin u better be good if not (┛✧Д✧))┛彡┻━┻

we *are* 50 chapters in without any substantial character development on both Dan and jjk's side, so i don't think it's too early. i personally don't think (and hope) that dan and jjk's falling out will have much to do with a love rival. i think it'll have something to do with Dan's grandma dying > Dan being unable to fix jaekyung's jinx as a result > jaekyung losing to jumin and getting pissy > Dan finally going ":O he's such an awful person to not give a shit about my dead grandma..." and leaving jjk's ass. where the weird kidnapping plotline fits in here, i have no idea.
if there is going to be a love rival, it might be like the one in BJ Alex where *after* Dan leaves jjk's ass, jjk begins to regret his actions but Dan seems to have another man (who's an infinitely better person than jjk) vying for his attention. this would lead jjk to becoming more desperate to get Dan back asap and blah blah, you know the drill.

this is what everyone says but personally i doubt dan will leave jaekyung's ass this way. even though he was a horrible person, he's still kinda a savior to dan. given dan's personality, he will remember jaekyung as the person that was there for him at his worst. jaekyung settled his debt, gave him a job, and gave him a much more decent living situation. also while on the money subject, i think dan will remember that he has a debt owed to jaekyung so that will make him more hesitant to leave unless he paid it off or something, or if dan tries to, jaekyung will possibly remind him of that. i honestly don't see any way out for dan unless it's a painter behind the curtain situation where (SPOILERS!!!!! if you're trying to read it stop now) the uke was kidnapped and dropped off in a new place. anyway, that's one of the reasons why i'm still reading, bc we know the tropes and cliches of this kind of story and we know jaekyung WILL grovel, and i'm just curious how the author will pull it off.
just discovered this today. pretty cute and great story, and i love how the everyone loves the main character trope is executed. there are a few shoujo isekais i read who do that trope but i just end up cringing (i hope shoujo manhwa isekai writers can take note how its done here sksk). but also, let's not forget that mc is kinda, slightly being homophobic. like tf u mean bl is for watching? thats real life for u now boi/gurly, so now it's for experiencing. not like mc can go back to his past life either. its a bit disappointing that he still sees the other characters as game characters when he's living with them now, especially w that montage of his brother taking care of him and stuff. but overall a great read.
Imo...at the moment it seems more like MC is less interested in being personally involved in romance themselves not just BL, and would rather just be a 3rd person viewer? Even if that changes later, that's how s(he) seems to feel right now.
We dunno how long s(he's) been conscious in that body, or which consciousness takes precedence. Personally, if I suddenly woke up in the body of a character of a manga I read, and I've only been living in the world for a short while, I think it'd be difficult for me to immediately start seeing everyone as anything but fictional; especially if they behave like archetypical tropes and cliches.
But this series is mostly a comedy so I don't think it's ever going to get that deep, lol.
given the montage in somewhere among the chapters of his older brother taking care of him ie. him saying his older brother has >always been< a friend, a brother, and a parental figure at the same time (mc couldnt have said that if he/she didnt play season 2), and chp 1, i assumed he's been there on that world and with them (specifically his older brother, his lover, and that lover's sister) since birth. like, he/she was legit reborn. its just that one day, he started getting flashbacks of the game from his past life, and apparently that was enough to just reduce everyone to mere game characters, even for his brother and the childhood friends. i would understand if mc felt that way to the
other characters he just met, but ppl he's been around his whole life? its kind of hard for me to explain haha, but that is why i said mc was being slightly homophobic and such, although i understand that he/she didnt wanna be personally involved with the romance. it just felt like he/she accepted the relationship of his/her older brother bc that was how in the game, and the game being BL that entertains him/her, then the couple is nothing but entertainment to him/her. does that make sense? im sorry if it doesnt T-T. and honestly, though i brought up the "seeing them as just game characters" part, im actually also torn bc the characters ARE acting like game characters.
i agree tho that as this is comedy, its not going to go that deep. but dang, i see a new potential for this kind of story, which makes me hungry for a more deep, realistic take on it haha.
sorry if my reply was long. i critique stories as part of my undergrad degree and now i just enjoy doing that so i always nerd out when given the chance haha.
Ah, no, I totally understood it as a rebirth and that MC has been there since birth, which is why I wrote "which consciousness takes precedence". Since, in other isekai stories, when the past "you" overtakes the "current you", sometimes your previous personality gets overwritten entirely; and they didn't really seem to delve deeply into that. For some migrators, it's just flashbacks, for others, their previous personality basically dominates; and that's kind of how this (appears) to me. But it's really debatable.
I appreciate your long and respectable response though, it's very intriguing. On the flip side, while I think it would be very interesting had this story gone a deeper more rationale route, I don't think it could work with the set up given that they are trying to actually explore character tropes. Being silly works more to its favour.
