this whole conflict was
1) badly executed
2) badly written
3) frustrating.
first off, the “resolution” was stupid as fuck, you don’t just abandon your responsibilities, passion and career because of your lover, that’s crazy. When you date you don’t lose all your individuality, but instead learn more about yourself with your partner, you learn how to love, how to set boundaries, how to start communicating and apparently they didn’t learn any of that.
I also feel like they are kind of setting up inwoo to meet his mother in the future, which is just annoying, what was this whole conflict for then?
him quitting his job was so overdone, you literally don’t need to do that. inwoo needs to understand you are a person, just as much as jiho needs to understand too. it doesn’t even make sense either??? like yeah inwoo was clingy sometimes but dude so many people are clingy and learn that their partner is their individual with their own wants and needs. you can’t expect to just sit and baby inwoo all the time by just being at home, he needs to heal first in all honesty i don’t even think he’s ready for the relationship (i didn’t think that even when they got together) and i think jiho is much too ready and pushy, he overcompensates and it comes to bite him in the ass.
overall i think the first couple had a nice idea at the first, but holy fuck as the story went on it just derailed into that.
the second couple is a bit more interesting because i’m a bit interested to see how this author will develop chungi to be, well, not an asshole but considering how they wrote the first couple i don’t have high hopes. genuinely just a very frustrating read that has made me disregard the first couple completely, whenever i see them in new chapters i skip and wait for the second couple to come in.
idk why everyone is surprised abt mc's sudden change lol
like 5 chapters ago the blue hair guy said he was worried for mc because when he loves, he loves with his whole heart,
and in this chapter mc reiterates that point, "im different with the one I love"
the author is spelling it out for u guys lmfaooo
btw, this is not to say i like the mc's change, I think its a very cheap way of writing but I'll see how it goes ig
I also don't see how they fell in love? this is such a common trope in yaoi where they just have sex and then suddenly wow theyre in love, this story is just a bit, meh. I feel like the author had an idea but it got lost in translation (as in their storyboard writing got confused, not the translators themselves lol)
HATANO IN GOTHIC LOLITA??? ohhhhh i love u author
