It's only the first chapter and they already had gotten married, divorced and suddenly she's getting woken up by her son because she had sex with her ex-husband. What the hell? It makes you wonder when all that happened or if it's missing frames.
The art is not nearly beautiful enough to make me stick around to see if it gets better and the other comments don't make it sound better either.
Meow boyfriend was a catch. It's not the size that matters ladies! A man that knows how to experiment and have fun with sexuality like that could even let you peg him. AND he could be a grower AND he wasn't ugly either.
The age gap is creepy but the yuri drought is too strong to skip on this so I'll just have to fool myself into thinking they're age appropriate for each other.
This is drawn like a BL. The main character only looks like a woman because BL artists make bottoms look super twinky and feminine, but the female lead looks like a BL top with long hair.
I don't usually like western ambience stuff but this and Nerd Project are an exception because... DAMN, the art is good and they're hot!
The friend was justified in getting mad at him for disappearing. It was actually a discussion on social media one of those days, some people say they never let their friends leave with strangers, others were saying "let adults fuck". My take is:
- Don't just leave first without saying anything, your friend is going to be worried
- Don't pick up someone for sex unless you and your friend both agreed on that. A good friend would stop anyone trying to take you to their homes or to a hotel so you need to tell your friend beforehand so they don't feel responsible (at least not as much) if something happens to you.
- Don't drink (especially not to the point of getting blackout drunk) if you wanna pick people up. Drunk people can't consent, you're gonna end up getting raped or raping someone (SA and SH are possible too)
MC got drunk and assaulted the ML with an unconsensual kiss, then basically got raped. It's fucked up all around but hey, I'm still reading it.
Sorry to everyone pissed but I love some regret and chasing. The seme hasn't even realized his feelings yet and he's already getting desperate and acting embarrassing.
I peeped that rhe friends only defended the FL after the ML stepped in. The author obviously wanted to make that scene with the ML being her white knight, sure, but the friends could have tried to say something or at LEAST exchanged glances. With the way it was done they ended up looking fake as hell. And the guy asking her to put in a word for him doesn't make it better.
The comments warned me there was rape, but I gave this a try anyway. I hoped it wasn't so bad since for once the female lead didn't have boobs bigger than her waist each. Alas, the comments were right.
I'm starting this now and the cheating wife makes me sick and seeing the comments about the latest chapter makes me think it's not going to get much better.
She just keeps wallowing in self pity and using her son as an excuse for why she can't run away, but she obviously doesn't care about him because if she cared she wouldn't cheat in the first place knowing how that could affect him, let alone cheat under the same roof.
I mean, she's talking about how it's fine to fuck, because he won't leave the room since he's scared of his father. She knows her son is traumatized and she's not worried, she's using that to her advantage so she can get shagged.
Why doesn't she run away? The answer is obvious, she enjoys the rich and comfortable life. She still wants to get railed by a young man now and then but not enough to give up the money from her cuckold husband.
I have no sympathy for her, I hope she gets kicked to the curb by everyone with not one cent to her name. This cougar needs to learn some shame.
I'm at chapter 20 and it's too snail-paced for my liking? Does it get better? Should I persevere?
There's no revenge and no twist in this... The ending did not feel conclusive at all. They're not even dating, they're just in an exclusive sex friend relationship until the bottom gets tired. The way they got into this relationship was weird too because they had argued and the top was avoiding the bottom, but one phone call and they're fucking?
The art is pretty but the story... The male lead is extremely manipulative. From finessing those gold mines in her father's estate, to proposing to the female lead's sister to push her over the edge, to literally framing the female lead for a CRIME just so she would be grateful to him. Their whole relationship is built on lies, the version of him she fell in love with simply doesn't exist.
But okay, it's fiction, so I would have been fine with his toxic traits if the female lead was equally toxic and batshit, but she's not. There was also no redemption arc. She finds out what he did, runs away from him in the most dramatic way possible, leaves clues behind to make him angry and disappears off for over 1 year, just to go back to him almost immediately when he finds her. I like it when men are pathetic and beg for forgiveness, so obviously I didn't like the fact that he didn't reflect on his actions at all. The only dignity that was betrayed was hers so it's not very satisfying.
I think you would like this if you're into toxic male leads with no redemption arc.
How come Towa remembers stuff like the knight orders and the fact that magic basically doesn't exist in that world but fell for some bullshit like "it's a tradition to feed snacks by hand" like..... That's gonna take me a lot of suspension of disbelief but the art is right up my alley so I'm sat.
And btw I bet the one who killed him was the Captain and that incident is precisely why Griz is only Vice Captain. The way he looked at Towa and he shuddered felt like foreshadowing.
This is not as bad as some people made it out to be but the loose ends are annoying tbh. I major in literature and some scholars say that adding plot points that add nothing and lead nowhere is a sign of bad writing. I agree with them. These are the loose ends that stood out the most to me:
- Taewoong wanted to dump Dojin
Did the author just forget that Taewoong wanted to dump Dojin? Instead it seems like he forgave Dojin after he mumbled the truth about the fake confession while half-conscious. This was quite the unsatisfying conclusion, and then near the end of the story Taewoong is bothered by the fake confession again. It's like the author had a change of plans halfway through and decided that, for fairness, Dojin should be the one with regrets and not Taewoong.
- Taewoong's brother
Another thing, Taewoong's brother was mentioned when he brought him clothes in one of the chapters. Dojin wants to meet his lover's brother but Taewoong gets embarrassed and says they'll meet later. This seemed like a foreshadowing indicating that the brother would appear later and be quote relevant, but then he never appeared and was never mentioned again either.
To be honest, I thought his brother was gonna end up being the guy that asked if he wasn't falling in love for real, which would explain why Taewoong didn't want them to meet. At some point the supposed brother would accidentally reveal Taewoong's dumping plan to Dojin and drama would ensue.
If done right, that would mean wrapping 2 loose ends at once, and both characters would feel regretful and beg for each other's forgiveness by the end. I like this idea better, but there's no use focusing on what ifs. Oh well...
