i see lots of ppl's takes on durian and i can say, as someone who grew up eating it, that it rlly isn't that bad T-T aside from the fact that it does smell quite strong, nd that it can cause high blood pressure (according to my grandparents), it rlly isn't as bad as ppl describe it to be. (subjective)
the taste, i would say, is exactly how it smells. funky, but not inedible. i wouldn't describe it as a completely rotten smell, i think it's closer to a chemically kinda smell. sort of like sulfur and onions with a fruity touch. the taste is much more appealing somehow tho. it rlly depends on where it grew and how ripe it is.
at first i wasn't rlly fond of it too. but it rlly grows on u and it's highly addictive. even as I'm typing this, my mouth is craving its taste T-T
The funny thing is, I just ate a bunch of durians with colleagues this afternoon(づ￣ ³￣)づ
And now reading this, just like you, my mouth craving its taste (again).
I never had any problem with durian, like I ate it since I was like elementary school? So I really don’t understand people who hate it.
IMO, maybe for others the scent must smelled too strong and clouded the judgement (in taste)?
I can’t explain the taste like things you said just now, but apparently, like a perfume, durian smelled differently to each people.
That’s why for me, they just smelled “durian” and tasted sweet and creamy. Or maybe I’m just a sucker for durian lol
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THAT ONE, there was even a story at our place of an old man dying the day after they ate durian while drinking a soda with it
not me skimming thru chapters blindly hoping it'd be time for the revelation(｀Д´)
don't give us those puppy dog eyes (ノ｀Д´)ノ彡┻━┻ it's getting harder to hate you, ciel

no... we don't overlook parental neglect and years of psychological trauma... it doesn't work like that ರ_ರ...
why'd pookie have her eyes closed like that lol T-T istg she's still so down bad for this guy... but ngl i had to read that chapter twice cuz of the feels XD
my heart is full. im so glad i let this marinate when i found this a long time ago nd i literally already got to the latest chapter only after 8hrs of reading :>> the slowburn was immense but the moment they confessed to each other was chef's kiss. got me giggling, kicking my feet nd shi
SAAAAME BRO. GIGGLING CRYING SMILING JUMPING SILENTS SCREAMS ALL THE TIME THESE LAST FEW CHAPTERS
i felt so much mixed emotions about yena nd it kinda was sad that she had to k1ll herself (if she did die). ngl it kinda felt flat. but i am glad that her character developed into something whose sole purpose was not only to be a hindrance to the mc. then again, she was too far gone already and i doubt she that she could've still redeemed herself... i couldn't even stay mad at her.
everyone in this manhwa had atleast a bit of evil in them. yena was by far one of the more straightforward written characters with just the "desire to be loved" fuelling her. and yet, the inferiority complex that developed because of that just made her more human and understandable for me.
nah throwing morgan on the ground like a sack of potatoes was the last straw >:(( ciel's a selfish asshole, goodluck winning her parents' favor like that
