The first couple is golden, love to see them happy. second couple is fun, still, both are interesting. the toxic/ drama girlies want the 2nd couple BAD in the comments lol, I get you, but it's also nice to see people just be happy
Many people in the commengs section are really young or not mature enough for this work and it shows
This story is pretty realistic. Both characters have a lot of trauma and the author doesn't just push it under the rug.
I don't understand today's readers, a vast majority of comments always complain how things are rushed, how trauma is not explored enough but then when it's not they say it's too slow.
Many people have had their brains fried by short and fast social media content.
They kind of rushed into the relationship and its makes sense for somebody that has trust issues to keep on having them...
It's fair for Yun-oh to feel distrustful and be scared, he knows Haewon and that Haewon cares for him. Haewon doesn't want to lose Yun-oh and Yun-oh knows that, in their context I can understand Yun-Oh feeling like Haewon is just giving him what he wants so he stays with him, completely valid for him to feel like he's being treated like a child that's being soothed especially given their age difference, initial dynamic and lack of relationship experience.
The boy's a literal overthinker and that's fine, Haewon is great at diffusing misunderstandings and calling things out at the right time, he's just sometimes very abrupt while his partner is the "handle with EXTRA care" type. I think it'll take some time for them to settle into this new dynamic because they mean so much more than a romantic partner to each other. One is slow paced and the other is a fast paced go getter, but I'm sure they'll match each other by the end.
This is a great manhwa with great writing and pacing, it's frustrating in a good way, their relationship is well portrayed and it's different from the usual older partner x younger partner couples we see, it explores the insecurites and frustrations of that kind of relationship in pretty realistic ways.
Finally someone said it
AMEN PLEASE SAY IT LOUDER
I feel like it needed to be said but I'm still surprised by how many people agree lol
Just tell me about it we all grew up... Plus good art and good story combo is so rare now a days... I've read hundreds of recommended stories that are only interesting for like about 20 chaps max or you find out that it's too messed up anyway give me good reccomendations cz most of my regular ones either just completed their season or they ended
Sry meant to up vote! I think i accidentally clicked down vote
Standing, applauding, wiping tears of gratitude
I love youuuu pls, don't go bald
You tend to realize how many mature people just don’t comment and actually enjoy the book to its potential
bc they know there's no point persuading immature fans they choose peace rightfully so
Right! Tbh nothing like an interesting relationship to make the smut more fun to read!
For recommendations (at the top of my head), I think you might already have read all of these: Delivery man and the golden palace, Between the lines, Sugar trap, Nerd project, Melting point and (latest) Dash.
I'd throw in Kiss me if you can cause Josh is baddie.
This is literally the nicest thing that anyone has ever said to me on the internet this laugh bumped my serotonin levels and improved my blood circulation which in turn promotes hair growth (I just can't prove it) ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~ thank you luv
Right! I rarely ever comment.
It's still sad to see how good art is underappreciated, even smut has become repetitive and non-creative. Best smut is usually created by authors that build up meaningful character relationships.
(▰˘◡˘▰) never been so proud
Exactly!
Yup done and dusted with em all accept the first one see told ya good stories are rare
I thought so lol
Here's some extra recs: A lovely meal, the boundary of delusion (this one's messy though), romance but not romantic, green apple paradise, aesthetics of unpleasantness, Sunday's consolations (ppl say the novel is better), can't think straight, don't be nice to me, bad friend, smyrna and capri, exclusive no-love zone, B-class guide (psycho ml done right?), you and I can't do this, shutline, lucky paradise, stranger than friends, assorted wildness, mr. 100% perfect, crash into me, here u are,
Crazy how our MC is only truly honest around the ML.
Tbh it feels like.both wear a mask, moreso the MC than the ML, I think both are different from what people actually think, also I feel like the MC will learn to become more compassionate through Pyeonghwa.
In a sense they're both trying to reach something unreachable, a certain emotion.
MC probably out here thinking he'll finally feel good once he gets the position he's coveting (could be a political position or the respect of the boss lady) but I think he'll find out that he'll find peace in doing something simpler.
MC is the long term grinding type of guy while the ML is young and mostly looking for instant moments of pleasure.
I find the dynamics interesting. They're both taking blows, just in different ways, they both choose to put themselves through do much pain, one in a physical way while the other does so mentally.
Incheol tolerates the pain and sees it as necessary for his journey, pyeonghwa seeks the pain and makes it look (on the outside) like it's part of the journey when really it's the destination lol.
Anyway, love their dynamic, both interesting characters, I wonder who's gonna be the bigger hyppocrite
This is actually not so good. It's more disappointing than you'd first expect it to be.
Tbh, wouldn't recommend.
Funny how the eldest is more like Josh and the second is just like Chase but probs crazier
Pete resembles chase in attitude at least
Cecil looks more like Chase than Pete, but his personality is probably more like Josh's or a mixure of both. You need to consider the following:
- Cecil is much younger than Pete, he is even younger than Spence. And his secondary gender as Pete's is still unown, not manifested.
- Chase was very sensitive as a child, he most likely became violent when he manifested as a dominant alpha, which must have been somewhere during his teens, probably 14-16, if was at least before Josh.
-Josh as a kid and in highschool, before he manifested as an omega, was actually a bully.lol
Josh? A bully? I read the novel when was this mentioned? He was a playboy but first time I hear he was a bully?
I think it was in the side story 3.
If you're a baddie link me up to the novel pls
i sent u a dm
SEND ME TOO PLS
done
ME TOO
Me too please
Pwease, send the link
Omg please send me the novel link too please!
Please send me the novel link too
can you send it to me too (=・ω・=)
I'm thinking the boxer might have been abused or something in the past, maybe he was told pain and suffering are the only way he can atone for his sins.
Or maybe he has a hard time feeling things like most people, so he goes through intense situations to feel something.
hmm i think you might be onto something with the "atone for his sins" theory. he smiles whenever Incheol grabs his collar/is about to hit him. in fact he smiled even in the first chapter when Incheol finds him all beat up in his own home. Wonder what that's all about. And I don't think we've seen him smile with any of his other opponents or partners at all. Curious and curiouser...
The title is so ironic because it's exactly what they've been doing up until the upcoming season
The conversation between the wife and the father was super confusing.
Who does she mean by my son? Isn't he not her son?
commented about this one too:<
Translators Fuck up things , she was talking about tae hee
This story is a total mess.
The flashbacks and current scenes are all messed up and so far no character is really likeable.
The art is all it's got going for it, it just doesn't make you excited to read it.
Dark themes can be amazing but since it's so dark you have to make at least one character charismatic enough for us to want to come back.
One story that barely updates but does it right is Lunacy, this story just seems boring and confusing. I hate everyone in this story, Yuta so far is the perfect victim, but that's all he gets from us: pity.
I wish we would be rooting for him but tbh he feels more like a crazy man who's lost it from all the abuse, plus no one has any respect for him. The author should've made him more mysterious and used those flashbacks sparingly to avoid confusing us.
I don't like the ML at all, he's such a terrible villain.
The art makes them look good but they have close to zero charisma. I know Pearl Boy gets a lot of bad reviews but I'd say it started off better than this, I never finished it I stopped at the kidnapping and fire part but damn I liked the characters sm better.
