The author was really stingy with the chapters.
It wasn't enough!!!!! Where the hell are the rest of the chapters!??? Give me more!!
It's honestly good. I didn't have much expectations starting but it grew on me.
I love the art. Has good plot. The storyline is okay. And the smex scenes are muah .
The only thing I found irritating is that I started reading it even though I knew it's still early to read it, considering the story is far from over. I got left with a cliffhanger
This story is fire.
I thought the storyline was similar to the "Swordmaster's Youngest Son", like highly recommend, but it was so similar to this one at the first part where the MC regressed, they are all in competition with their siblings, and the elements where their own relatives and half-siblings worked for the more elite siblings.
I was honestly not hoping for much in this story, but the more I read, the more intrigued I was. The action scenes were fabulous! The dialogues, THE ART! Everything is so good I was so disappointed I caught up with the latest chapter.
I vowed not to read something below 140 chapters and here I am. I dug my own grave.
Anyways, I am not too sure about the idea of a harem, considering his family dynamic where siblings fight against each other, I do hope he chooses only one woman. Too many gives too much stress.
Also, I want more!!!!! Why am I so bad at choosing stories to read?!
The title holds no significance to the story at all!
Edit: Yeah, this was an ignorant comment. I genuinely did not know what the title means so forgive this ignorant me.
Well chocolate in general signifies young people and Cigarettes for Old people. So maybe the Young and Old Version of duke
Or just the HUGE gap in age between the two MC
Ohhhhh.
Genuinely did not know that. Thank you for informing me
Someone said it signifies older age and younger age.
I would have agreed except old ppl can also enjoy chocolates. Me: I don't even like chocolate. With the exception of the occasional fudge brownies (or Brookies). I literally don't eat it unless I'm starving and there is nothing else to eat.
I already read the novel and it sucks. The story was badly written. And despite its potential, was not delivered well by the author. There's also a lot of back and forth situation between the Seme and Uke and it's just so frustrating and tiring now.
They're both idiots. Everybody sucks. The end.
I only read it through the end because I wanted the drama. And I wanted to feel hurt. I'm a karma-core reader and a regret-porn romance enthusiast so I wanted to see drama and pain (for both the seme and uke) and all that.
But there's something we call, too much drama. They add a lot of elements and a lot of issues to prolong and overcomplicate the story and too much destroys the story. This is what happened in this one. The novel, I mean.
I do hope they change a lot in the manhwa adaptation. Because a lot of the readers dropped the story for its dramatic flairs that it's exhausting to read and I really understand that because I feel the same.
Anyways, can't wait for the next chapters in the manhwa.
Honestly I kind of feel sorry for MC. He did not deserve this mess. He should have went to therapy, because as expected, the abuse he went through made him vulnerable to abusive relationships like this one. (I mean psychologically)
True. He's also done a lot of foolish things in the novel that makes you feel frustrated. But at the end of the day, his past wasn't good. He didn't do anything wrong, he was a victim and nobody taught him the things he needs to know so I understand how difficult it is for him to meet someone, like the Seme, and handle things related to him. He was too wounded and scarred to know better. It's unfortunate that he had to meet the Seme too and not someone with green flags.
Right, he was just unlucky. On top of that he was getting manipulated. Like I am mad at him but I can’t insult him, because I know most people wouldn’t do any better in his place with a past like that.
It's a unique story where the MC is more like a villain acting like a hero, a wolf in sheep's clothing. He's the type you'd avoid because he's a cheating and manipulative son of a b*tch who gaslights his partners into staying in this toxic relationship with him. He's also sly enough to act like he's the victim and push the blame on his enemies and earn the public's sympathy.
I actually liked the story. I also liked the idea of making this guy the MC of a shounen manhwa, where it's almost a rule to have an MC who aims too get stronger. This guy here aims to get himself protection. Because he knows he can't survive by himself. I respect that. He's just a trashy scum. Though, I do love reading through the perspective of this kind if MC.
I'm actually not sure if I'm dropping or I'm just putting this on hold. I love the comedy bits and the ideas going on in the MC's head. I just think that everything is so... Repetitive. Every arc, same kind of problems and same kind of solutions. Someone pisses him off, he accepts the challenge, gets beat, and then fights back. I just got tired of the pattern. Like, I'm not even surprised anymore.
The author is also toeing the line between good and evil. Didn't like the reverse r*pe at all. Any kind of r*pe is not acceptable. I'm not shocked it gets glossed over like nothing happened because the author keeps doing it. I'm just disappointed.
Anyways, I'm off to read another story. Not sure if I'll be back again but I'm just tired of this shaisa now.
Yeah. That was one of the the ugliest endings I've ever read. Extras? More like a big cliff hanger. They should've ended it well and I expected them to get together anyway even though their relationships a bs.
Okay so, I'm quitting this not even halfway through. There are a lot of frustrating things I found. Like, the ML continuing to distrust the FL even though they've known each other for months now. And also, how frustrating that the FL can't do anything to save the people she cherishes because she's just a dang stable boy.
Most FLs would've done whatever they could to get a stable job so that they could support their favorite character but this one hasn't done anything yet as far as I've read. She keeps complaining that she can't do anything, well duh, you haven't achieved anything yet! I'd let it slide had she done her best to get the ML's trust but NO, he hasn't trusted her one bit since they've met. Which is understandable considering that's how he was raised, but if I were the FL, I would've focused on building my own position and continue to elevate it until I'm good enough to support the ML.
I would've been so frustrated not doing anything and then feeling so powerless that I couldn't do anything to save my friends.
What's more, she can't even remember the storyline! She's just acting like a lovesick teenager who keeps pining for a prince who wouldn't give her the time of the day. She hasn't even learned how to read and write, for Pete's sake!
I agree but even despite the fl being annoying I had to see it finish cuz it’s completed when I read this comment so I went back to finish reading it and boy was I wrong about her. If you keep reading you won’t regret it it’s actually a good story. The fl fights in the war and she became a badass. I would spoil but if u have time give it a chance again. I cried at the end and wish that there is side stories.
Okay enough. I don't like this. Not one bit.
NO.
I literally skipped over everything else other than the serious scenes. The smex scenes don't cut it for me if their relationship is this toxic.
The Seme's toxic. He's a spoiled little brat who could get whatever he wanted and even destroy the Uke as long as he gets him. He's deranged and I don't love that the story just ended like that. Like, what the hell.
The Uke is suffocating from this family and this relationship, I'm all for it if he runs away and hides or kills himself, because even I don't wanna be involved with this Seme dude.
