This "story" is so random, I swear! So, around chapter 48, MC will have sex with both ML and second ML after that asshole (2nd ML's brother) drugged MC AGAIN and got him all horny. The chairman guy is dead and second ML takes over. Second ML puts ML in a prison. The uggo with the burn on his face is back. I mean the guy who wanted MC dead because he has a hard on for ML or whatever (supposedly he wants MC gone because he fancies himself a kingmaker and MC is a distraction to ML....but I think he just gets a hard on for ML)....and that's where the raws are currently at
Lol the way that plan was rushed and the mangaka crammed both the plan and the execution in the same chapter tells me that this is going nowhere.
I keep coming back to reread this every couple of months. This is one of the most romantic yaois that I've ever read. Every story this mangaka worked on has immaculate art but not every one of them leaves an impact on me the way this one does. It just has the perfect mix of romance and angst and I'm delighted that we got the present timeline in the last few chapters. I wouldn't change a thing about this story if I had the power to do so
I read so many stories with similar plots that sometimes, when one of them is updated, I feel like the uploader made a mistake and uploaded another story's chapter instead because everything merges together in my mind. I wrote a description for this in my reading list as: "detective MC meets a guy who looks like a previous victim that MC let die. MC's ex is an asshole drug dealer. Puppy type ML" but reading the latest chapter made me question past me who wrote that
Edited after someone pointed out that I wrote ML instead of MC. I have no complaint about the black haired ML. It's the bitchass blonde that I have beef with:
What an insufferable MC. He slept with the guy and then as soon as he was broken up with be yelled "slut". This is basically a worse verse of an asshole guy catcalling a woman and when she snubs him, he screams "you were ugly anyway". The fuck?
Listen, I've given up on such stories having a healthy relationship and I've been beaten into accepting the toxicity and how thse authors portray MLs like invincible war machines while the supposedly competent MC is an imbecile ...the one thing that still bothers me is how quickly these MCs go from being traumatized by extreme secual violence that leaves them for dead to sitting across from their abuser while sipping on ramen broth.
I get that the human body gets hungry even after extreme trauma, however, wouldn't it have been more realistic to show him quietly slipping to the kitchen in yhe dead of night and raid the fridge to find something to eat rather than willingly getting so close to the guy who raped him repeatedly and beat the shit out of him? It just doesn't sit well with me that in these fictional stories, we can't have any semblance of realism.
The MC is Agent. And not an ordinary agent. They knew from the start what they're getting into. That's included getting tortured if get caught. Even in real life, those who fight with mafia or born in mafia/gangster world. Being raped or tortured are normal for them. There's no room for them to have "trauma". Showing weakness or fear will kill them. So what realism are you looking for?
This
I like the story overall. I enjoy the fact that there is an actual plot with a mystery that intrigues the reader. I would rather the story had no dubious consent scenes, but I've basically grown to tolerate this sort of thing in omrgaverse and guideverse. If not, I would never be able to read most supernatural yaoi and I do truly find them enjoyable.....like I could see myself enjoying this plot in a shonen without any shonen ai/yaoi elements
Yaya another rude asshole ML who will only become a decent human being after falling in love with MC...
