I saw this In my recommended now, months after finishing it and I just gotta drop by and say I hope this author makes another manga. After I finished dark heaven I was so shocked they made another story in the same universe. Whether it's the same universe or not I need another manhwa from them
It was interesting how they expanded on gale and made a whole new story with him as a major character considering his role in dark heaven. They really turned a morally black character who seemed incapable of any positive emotion into a "i would burn the world for you" type guy.
The character writing was amazing too. I noticed in dark heaven but also in guardians of the lamb the characters feel like real people. Also, I can see the author likes their main characters with a little (a lot) trauma sprinkled in. This Christmas I'm wishing for side stories cause I would like to see them happy and together
The way skylar pieced it together after cooling off. He doesn't even know he's right yet but is still giving cirrus the benefit of the doubt. Now he just needs to get the courage to reach out to him now
I really didnt expected to be as satisfied with this story but now that its done, wow. The only thing I'm disappointed about is hyun's story being rushed. Its so sad that he went through sexual harassment and sacrificed for yijun in the main story only for them to come back to it at the very end of the epilogue for like two chapters. To me that was a big deal and I expected more from that plot line. It just felt tragic that he went through that then it turned out to be a throway plotline not even resolved in the main story. I do feel like there were other plotlines the author starts to touch on then backs out of but overall, this is a pretty decent read. It has a really slow start romance-wise but as a whole I'm glad they did flesh it out. Sekye and yijuns relationship IS very complicated so it does make sense to take that much time to develop.
This was such a rocky start I really thought I'd drop it because I had no idea where it was going. But this honestly had really good character development I didn't expect at all. I really thought there was no way I'd want them to end up together cause I didn't see a happy ending for them besides a toxic relationship. But in the end things came together so well. I'm still a little disappointed abt how some things seemed underdeveloped, but all in all this was pretty good now that I finished it and got the big picture. Lol if I stopped reading at chapter 40 like I wanted to i would have left thinking this was sloppy and bad but honestly reading this is a waiting game and I feel it's worth it
I think a big part of it was feeling like sekye was going to be an irredeemable typical yaoi manhwa ML, the kind that is obsessive, toxic and make their love interest suffer. But this is one of the few times an authors writes a character like that but also gives more than a half-assed explanation why they're so twisted. Not only that, but doesn't chalk it up to 'he's toxic because of his tragic backstory' but expands on his mental health and how he's still struggling as an adult.
And even better, yijun accepts sekye even though he struggles with his mental health but ONLY after he takes a stand and confirms sekye won't hurt or lie to him anymore. That was so unexpected to me because in the beginning even though yijun seemed tough, he let sekye push him around and walk all over him. I thought he'd be the stereotypical uke that is written as strong but turns out to have no backbone, but that isn't case at all. Its worth a read imo
The roughest part of being a reader of this is realizing yona and chang il didn't spend all that much time together. I started this cause it seems like a cute, funny concept for a smut story but then just went down the entirely 'porn with a sprinkle of plot' route . And most of it wasn't even with yona AND was literally 99% r*pe at that
So just a warning to ppl, who like me expected it to be abt a romance that develops between a guy who falls in love with a prostitut. Changil and yona relationship is barely even half of it. It's mostly the chan-il getting r*ped by random creeps (not yona) who are obsessed with him. And don't expect him to get rescued or anything, cause twice he's captured and yona can't help him. Even when yona gets him back they're in hiding.
All in all, I expected tragedy cause that's how most stories where someone falls in love with a prostitute goes but they 100% just went down the trauma porn/porn hardly any plot route. Again, if you liked the story, enjoy but this is just a warning for those who expected more romance. This is mainly porn with a lot of r*pe. The side stories confirms it, cause no author is making a "what if " with the rapist if it isn't purely for the sake of porn
After seeing yoohan crawling to the phone trying to pick it up made me so happy to see he didn't want to die anymore and was willing rely on Jay for help by trying to answer his call. I did expect there would be a chapter where Jay has a freak out about him almost dying... but not like this also it's so fucked up of Jay to try to recreate the guilt he feels towards his FAMILY dying..
that part was kinda funny to me tho cause why should yoohan feel guilty about his hand like bro, jay literally grabbed his hand forced him to cut him lmao. I think it was just to show how far he'd go to make yoohan have a reason to live / or to show how unhinged jay is. But yoohan if actually feels guilt for that later I'm gonna go nuts lol
Huh so they're BOTH obsessed.. its just that hyo uns obsession can be self destructive but taehyuks more like classic yandere
Btw i honestly love seeing a uke who is just as obsessed too
I'm actually kinda glad it went this way cause the last chapter was everyone was like "omg this is so wholesome they're communicating" and I was like bitch where....yeonwoo asked him to stop meeting his oldest friend because he's jealous of him and didn't explain why. Hwibum was ready to start distancing himself from his friend just because his partner was jealous. Pleasee remember hwibum doesn't have the context of Hyuk liking him so it's weird he just agreed.
In the new chapter yeonwoo says he's not acting jealous anymore cause he trusts hwibum only BECAUSE he said he would hang out with hyuk less. Thats not trust. And blocking the friends number / being scared something will happen if he learns hyuk likes him isn't trust either. There was 5% communication at best. Not to mention somehow over the course of a chapter he misinterpreted "distancing" to "never meeting him again".
Yoonbum does have a reason to be wary of hyuk since he knows he likes hwibum but thinking hwibum will leave him if they meet is the opposite of trust lets be real. I don't understand why people are being like "nooo it was getting so healthy" not really. Imm gonna need the REAL communication arc to start now
I wish more comments would focus on how devastating things are for cirrus cause things he doesn't deserve keep piling up, like what his dad and his freaky ass step mom did, his dog getting sick, a stalker that tried exposing him and Skylar and how it's so tragic that on top of all that, everything bad he did to is out in the open. Like the timing for all that to happen then besides of all that shit he does not deserve, two people he cares about the most can't stand him right now.
But instead all the comments are "he did nothing wrong what is rin so mad for he just introduced her to her crush and told chan-il to ask rin herself what happened !!"
...please be fr.. Its so crazy to interpret it so innocently, he knew what he did and he straight up told her that much.
Like yall Im trying to cry together in the comments but it's just a wall of denying he did anything bad to rin pls focus up my boy is about to crash out and you're all focused on the wrong thing
scrolling thru the comments and there are so many saying "what is she so mad for"
I love cirrus but they are close friends for so long and he chose to use her like a pawn. Of course the outcome wasn't bad and she wasn't forced to date chan-il like some of you keep mentioning, but a friend manipulating you to do what they want with bad intentions must feel shitty. And even worse in my opinion, he let her boyfriend assume they were cheating together. Like, what kind of friend lets your boyfriend assume you are cheating on them with you? He could have explained it but decided not to just because he was upset with chan-il even though she's his closest friend. A good friend would never do that
I get feeling the slap is an overreaction, tbh I disagree personally, but its fair to think so. But so many comments that are mad about the slap are straight up acting like she doesnt have a reason to be mad which is crazy. What he did is literally the set-up of the century. Like really think, imagine your own best friend knowingly letting your boyfriend believe you cheated on him. Tell me rn you wouldn't scrap with the friend that did this cause come on. That would destroy most friendships. Maybe she didn't need to slap him but OFC she should be mad.
These past few chapters are devastating for me but yall you gotta know we can be both sad for cirrus but also acknowledge that rn he's just laying in the bed he made. He hurt Skylar, he hurt rin and now they're mad at him. I want this to be over and resolved and im even more devastated reading this after watching the final round of alnst but I'm not at all surprised, them having this reaction was gonna have to happen eventually
So now we know all info about hyo un is so limited because of the brother. But why did he want to burn the books about the dragon in his past life? Was that before he regretted how he went about things or that he wanted to make it harder for taehyuk learn about hyo un when he's reborn?
The first time I read chapter 68 it was a good translation but now it doesn't even make sense what happened why would someone go through the trouble of uploading a bad translation over a completely fine one
eresemo is considering r rated side stories.. I hope they decide to do it
I would love cute and slice-of-life ones too :3
I'm just gonna make a theory, since it was shown that ruby growing up abused in an orphanage is true. I wonder if pietro is so loyal if valentino also saved him from there. if he was also rescued from abuse this undying loyalty would make sense.
Side note, when ruby confronted her brother and he had the flashback to his father threatening to send ruby back if he didn't follow his orders I was shook. How do you go from giving up your freedom for someone to abusing that very person you were trying to protect??? I guess Valentino lost the plot and thought he can do whatever he wanted to ruby because he sacrificed for her. The audacity of him to be angry when he asked her if Iz was hitting her. He didn't see the irony not even a bit.
This was such a good example of some abusers not even recognizing how evil they are. And he truly thought she felt the same, asking her to run away and being hurt she didn't want to? Anyways I get the Valentino was forced to be his dad's successor even though he hates the corrupt church, but even though he has a mildly sad backstory I'm glad to say I really don't think they're gonna try to redeem him like a lot of writers do for villians (I hope). Can any novel readers tell me if Im right? If I'm wrong tho don't give me major spoilers pls
I reread this rn and its like 80 amazing quality chapters then it just drops I'm crying. I stopped reading when the games started last yearand wow it's gotten so crazy. I wish I saw the comments reaction to that garden scene cause my jaw DROPPED. I knew he felt that way but I didn't expected him to DO THAT!!
AW NO ITS OVER IM CRYINGG THIS WAS GOOD IM GONNA MISS WAITING FOR UPDATES I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS OVER PLS PLS PLEASEE HAVE SIDE STORIEW IM BEGGINGGG
also I'm actually so happy they managed to keep both couples alive. It was so high stakes but the gangster couple was so silly and cute I didn't really want them to die. Perfect ending but I wish it was longerrr
There are 40+ chapters out, where is the uploads</3
This and the webtoon regas both commit the crime of having a rly buff mc then giving them the stereotypical twink body everyone gives uke. When will they just let bara on bara happen yall I'm sick we are gonna be robbed
(Regas is really good, but i hate that they didnt let him keep his body type after he reincarnates smh. that's the only thing I don't like abt it but I recommend)
SPOILERS
Why is everyone acting like lariette is evil or dumb or something. She made a contract not knowing they would actually fall in love within 3 months, which is obviously unexpected. Also, she is leaving so he wouldn't be sad to see her die and will just think he was broken up with. She knows now that getting involved with him was selfish but it's a beautifully tragic situation, and it's literally in the description so why are we surprised and mad now?
and for those referencing spoilers, doha is the one who gives Asrahan the runaround and drags this whole thing out for longer than needed, not lariette. Technically he gives them BOTH the runaround making it harder for lariette to get back to asrahan on purpose. I love asrahan, lariette and also sneaky doha, but the fact that people are more mad at lariette than doha based on spoilers is so funny to me.
I swear every time a main character leaves an ML or makes them sad cause of some tragic situation, everyone calls them annoying or a bitch without factoring in their circumstances. pls remember Asrahan is a Grown fictional man and that everything will probably be resolved, so he'll be just fine. like why read drama or stories with tragic premises if u can't handle it.. you would all perish watching 10 minutes of any telenovela or kdrama
"None of this needed to happen!!" OK but there wouldn't be a story otherwise.
When will the English translators pick this up again
