3.5/5 Stars — Honest review (Spoilers ahead, if you haven’t read it): Okay look, while the little chub is an absolute cutie patootie (≧∀≦) and the „side“ chapters are very sweet because of him (AND the improved artstyle), I do have some issues with this story as a whole.

There was so much unnecessary drama and miscommunication right through the last third of the official "end" that I sometimes honestly struggled to even read on. Not to mention, that I started this BL four times (over several months), before I got myself to read on past a few chapters, because the plot and artstyle (in the beginning there’s almost no emotion in their faces) are so frustrating #-.-)
And even tho the kid is super adorbs, I absolutely HATED the fact, _that_ and _how_ he got pregnant in the first place. Both of them have some mental and physical issues and that’s why they‘re drawn to each other to begin with, yet it never really got explained what _exactly_ happened, and than all of their problems get kind of resolved after the child is born. They still never really talk with each other, tbh. It‘s like we‘re running in circles with them, just to end up, where we started.

MY problem is, that they don’t really have major problems to begin with xD“ apart from the almost never ending NOT COMMUNICATING thing. At some point it really irked me, that Yi-ra always run away. As soon as they hit a wall he‘d be like: <<<<(╯°Д °)╯“See ya!“

I get that he‘s insecure and wants to be independent yadayada, but his character/personality (the little he has anyway) alongside with his moods change so often, that I absolutely don’t have a grip on him. Cheong-ho is not much better, at first he‘s kind of a Tsundere and aloof, only to later become almost „obsessively“ in love. Because of that, I (as a reader) really struggle to emphasize with either one of them.

ANYWAY, it does get somewhat better and the improved artstyle, along with the kiddie are a major contributor for that xD

It‘s not a bad story (I definitely had far worse) but I wouldn’t recommend it I know for sure, that I won’t read it again ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍ If I want a cute kid in a story, I‘ll get my fix from other, better stories

    so many problematic tropes in this. i never really liked it but stuck it out in hope it would get better but it was kind of boring. plus i can't stand that baby's art style

    Even though I really really love this story now, I agree!! I dropped this when they had this huge fight with yirim leaving because come OONN this is so hypocrite and melodramatic!!

    but I was lucky cuz it changed for the better for me! I wouldn’t exactly recommend it to someone looking for a deep story as well. But this has a real nice mixture of some easy angst and sooo much fluff !

    I felt the same way when I read the side stories. Even though they are already a family, I don't feel like they are very close to each other. It's like there are a lot of missing pieces I can't explain. They don't seem familiar with one another, and I don't feel that they truly know each other. For example, in other manhwas, characters often know when something is happening with their lover, especially if they've been together for a long time. But in this case, I just don't feel it. They didn't have enough time to get to know each other well, even after having a baby.

    The repetitive narrative gets pretty annoying , pretty fast. I also read till the end, since I wanted to know how it ends, but it was more of a chore, than a joy

    I absolutely get what you mean! It‘s not as bad as other Stories I‘ve read, but it is a bit frustrating, since it got so much potential. It‘s sad that everything changed with the pregnancy, but at least the kid is cute sksks

    Yes exactly! There‘s no intimacy and friendship, even with the child sometimes (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜which is really sad, cause plot per se had a lot of potential

ivy304 September 3, 2024 7:48 pm

This story is such a hot mess ლ(´ڡ`ლ) It start‘s out sad, than it gets even worse, than it gets better and fluffy, suddenly it hits you in the feels, than swirls you around and you find yourself screaming, crying and laughing in a matter of a few panels haha
I‘m really addicted to them and their mess, istfg

And the Kid is so lovely and cute ヾ(☆▽☆)!!!

It‘s a non-con PWP. If you like non-con, forced and r*pe smut without Plot, this short is for you, otherwise you should look for something else. The only thing that‘s good is the art, I hated everything else about it #-.-)

    I didn't read the warnings before and i was SO taken aback like- who enjoys reading this

    Ikr? I mean, I get if someone has kinks, enjoys certain roleplaying or even bdsm _BUT_ all of the afor mentioned should be consensual with everyone involved! I really hate non-con, rape and violent stories like this (⊙…⊙ )

I knew it was coming ages ago and struggled with myself, but I still read to the end ╥﹏╥
I‘m „glad“ that he at least wasn’t as gruesomely violent (at least no blood…) to our poor little Jailbait as the spoilers made him sound, but I am still so FREAKING MAD at this development! I mean, I knew Mr. Perm was a gangster and somewhat mad (from the other Story I read, where he‘s the brother (maybe cop?) of a Prosecutor and has a very short appearance at the end), but he was so lovely, funny and hot in 2020 — GREEN FLAGS ALL AROUND HIM. I really loved their whole consensual and sweet dynamics — and than BOOM The author follows the typical Yaoi trope and ruins everything in three chapters. This has me some DCS vibes all over again, for real #-.-)

I guess there will be a time skip, and I guess they will work through it (?) but this unnecessary non-con, mental violence and r*ape is just extremely unnecessary AND takes away from the actual heaviness of the topics! NO means NO, damn it. Why can’t you just WALK AWAY without having to „hurt him“. Ugh. *flips table yet again*

See you at Season 2, I guess? ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍

Ps. The Story I‘m talking about is LUST (Ryuha), you can find it here https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/lust_2/ and Mr. Perm (his name is Beomjun Cha) appears in the very last chapter, for like two seconds

    What was the other story where he made a cameo? ( ̄∇ ̄")

    Ah, it‘s LUST (Ryuha). It‘s a good read as well, the MC has a very short appearance in the last chapter of it

    My exact thoughts! And don't know what mental problem has the author when the uke says NO, NO and NO and the seme keeps going?! Not even ヽ(`Д´)ノ with the tears?! And I thought he was gonna stooop!!

    It irked me even more so, since Mr. Perm was such a green flag until that point and their whole dynamic was just wholesome ;0;! I‘ve read tons of BL with toxic a-holes, but with them I wasn’t so much disappointed, since they were like that from the beginning (you know, like that Mofo from JINX xD) and you know what you were going to get in from the very first moment and could hate in the Seme sksksk

The art is 5/5, very beautiful and sensual
The story on the other hand is one tragic moment after another, has one too many dramatic „plot twists“ and ends the same way it started: bad! The fathers character and decisions, which ultimately are the only reason for all the events, are the weakest point in the story. He is possessive-obsessive with Anton and even desires him in a sexual way, yet it‘s not clear as to WHY he chooses this way of acting it out. All his actions are confusing and inconsistent, I think the author him/herself didn’t know what to do with this character and ultimately it destroyed everything, since the main pillar of the plot and events was too weak for everything to hold up.

I simply can’t believe that I was hoping for a somewhat happy ending, seeing how the whole story got worse and worse by each chapter. The ending left me disappointed, empty and with a bitter taste in my mouth and I wholeheartedly regret reading it. ( ̄へ ̄)

TW: non-con, prostitution, r*pe, pedophilia (not graphic), psychological, mental and physical abuse, confinement, no happy ending

Honest summary: Two lonely children chance encounter over a stray cat and one of them is so love deprived and neglected, that he literally wants to be the cat, so he can get all of the others love and affection from the other (who btw. happens to be rich) — Cut to two adults with Stockholm Syndrome and fear of abandonment ft. loooooots of craziness and smut.

Error 404 plot & sense are
nowhere to be found ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍

5/5 for the potential of this Short!!

7/5 Starsヾ(☆▽☆)
OMG I loved this so much, I binged it in one night like my life depended on it. I love the characters and their development (!) I love the plot, the communication, the heart ache, the art, the smut, the intensity of the real life struggle and pain portrayed… Seriously, it‘s such a good and wholesome read! Even when the characters did something that I don’t like at ALL (kind of non-con) the way they talk about it later and resolve their issues — Uff, love it!
And holy Avocado, I never knew that wavy hair, brooding eyes and a Muzzle are my kink, but here we are! ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ I could go on and on,… just read it for yourself! It‘s definitely going on my Top All Tome Fave List!

ivy304 August 10, 2024 3:12 am

4.5/5 Stars The Plot is nothing special, you‘ve probably read it a hundred times, BUT the way in which they handle it is very sweet and non-toxic. It‘s a very sweet , simple and short read, the smut is hot and the art is unique and gorgeous!
