the ml is like a watermelon. thought he was green then inside he ws red but then idiscovered the seeds were black☠
"because i valued being with you more than anything" srsly??? i thought i was reading yaoi before i remembered its blue lock
i think we need to reconsider the color of his flag. after s2 so far i dont think i can call him a red flag anymore TT
ppl be appreciating ians looks but eunsan is one of the most good looking people ive seen ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
im rlly shocked by ppl saying hes a black flag. cos for me hes not even half the red of mls like edge of ambiguity or even backlight. trust me ive read the novel. ofc it could just be my opinion but i just cant imagine him as bad as some ppl r claiming him to be
spoiler alert
as for the ‘abuse’ he made jun go through, even jun thought he deserved it (to a certain degree ofc. he thought he served yohans anger and even felt bad for seeing yohan cry. yes he cried). that happened when yohan was seeing red after jun sort of forced him into a situation where he had to directly confront his family(a very religious and homophobic one who r obsessed with saving face). he attempted to assault jun and broke his arm (the 2nd one was unintentional since he even broke the fall that couldve hurt jun and used his own body as a cushion when the two fell to the floor). he did all that cos he thought jun did all that to mock his family situation. its actually a ‘jun thing’ to do cos jun himself has been playing mind games with yohan (at one point he even added his fingerprint to yohans phone lol. dont get me wrong i absolutely love jun as an mc) after that yohan turned his back to jun at school and since the ‘king’ stops supporting the rest of the school who have been jealous of jun starts bullying him (it was nowhere near as bad as what taesan went through tho. probably cos yohan himself did nth except ignore jun. its more of a psychological torment than physical and ppl didnt do it openly more like stealing shoes and making subtle condescending comments and a ball to his face at PE) until jun encountered one of junwoos former lackeys that lost their power when yohan became ‘king’ and boy did jun beat the crap out of him (he also got hurt ofc but this part of the novel is so refreshing cos now we have an mc who didnt need the ml to come save him)
anyways he ended up at the hospital and yohan keeps visiting him. oh i forgot to mention, after a few days of ignoring jun and found out juns feet bandaged (jun hurt his feet after he had to walk home n slippers cos ppl stole his shoes) yohan actually started to talk to jun obviously feeling bad. his goal is actually to make jun cling to him and start talking to him the way he did with junwoo (yohans always hated junwoo for constantly having juns whole focus. this is shown in the epilogues btw) but ofc jun didnt give in at all and he even ignored yohan completely when yohan started talking lol lol. at the hospital they sortof made up? and things went back to how they were before their fight. but now juns changed. hes matured and he’s become independent. he wasnt so scared of the hierarchical system and instead saw the bigger picture which is his own future and focused on nth except maintaining his grades that dropped thanks to yohan and the bullying he went through.
this part is also so good to read cos yohan kept trying to assert his dominance but jun was smart as hell and didnt let it faze him. long story short one of yohans lackeys betrayed him and asked jun to fake confess to yohan so that he could record the thing and spread it at school. jun ofc was smarter than that and stuck with yohan which earned him yohans trust. eventually they finished high school and then theres this thing jun found out abt yohans family (im not gonna spoil this one cos even this shocked me lol and i dont want to ruin ur experience) to sum it up yohans been lying to him abt sth (not completely lying but exaggerated a bit) all to earn juns sympathy and attention which he later admitted to wanting so badly) jun found out, misunderstood and thought yohan completely made it all up. felt betrayed. decided to leave all behind and didnt even bother sharing his college admission test results making ppl including his teachers think he failed etc etc when in fact he went into a prestigious university. he kissed yohan on impulse btw lmao and after that disappeared. oh yh before that he splashed coffee to yohans face saying he hated him. yohan visited him all drunk and pathetic but juns been feeling betrayed and turned him away. the kiss happened, he cut off all ties and connections which made yohan lose his mind ( jun found out only after he met yohans sister later)
he moved to the college dorms and purely by fate yohans his roommate (and yes its purely coincidence and yohan had nth to do with it. in fact yohans been completely miserable after jun ditched him saying he hated him) the lackey that tried to videotape the fake confession ( he got beat up by yohan and got expelled) has been trying to find jun and when he found him he splashed acid at him saying he wanted to destroy the face that yohan liked but yohan covered jun, the acid disfigured his back and three fingers. yohans family dumped him completely into juns hands (jun had a talk with yohans father and found out some things again) they made up and jun let yohan live with him in the dorms.
so yh yohans bad news but not THAT much of it cos unlike other mcs, jun himself is far from a helpless and weak little person. he can handle himself rlly rlly well. and in fact he’s probably one of the very few mcs who ACTUALLY got away from the ml until ofc fate brought them back tgt and not the ml himself. yohans bad but hes also down bad for jun. the yearnings there and in his defense, jun is also super good at acting unaffected towards what yohan does which completely drives him crazy. in fact theyre both crazy and theyre both red flags. read the novel and youll find out about the whole power struggle between the two lolol. both r super manipulative but in my opinion i think i find yohan not as bad is probably cos jun can actually handle him. yh he went thru hell cos of yohan but eventually it was yohan who started to make up with jun. in fact even then jun asked to be simple classmates which ofc infuriated yohan lol. after the bullying jun became even stronger mentally and saw through many things and lastly jun in fact used yohan to maintain a peaceful hs life after the incident changed his behavior towards yohan. and after he ghosted yohan before college yohan became so docile when they met at the dorms and listened to jun when he lashed out and told him to leave the dorms looking all sad and miserable
i recommend yall to read the novel. nth is more entertaining than two mcs having a power struggle especially when theyre both cunning af. dont let those cmts saying yohans a black flag stop you cos like i said its not as bad as that AT ALL. im not defending yohan i just find it a waste to not pick this up cos the novel is just super good. at least for me it is. and the mc. i just love love love mcs like these. physically strong mcs r good and all but this one has a strong mentality even WITHOUT any traumas associated to his past.
btw u can find the novel translated on novel light or novel bin and the korean one on booktoki. the translated versions stop at 19.2 so use a VERY good translating app for the rest of the chapters. try not to miss out cos its even more than what u read. some things r only implied and u have to pick up some others on ur own. the same way u need to when reading novels like passion. have a nice read guys ^^
never have i hated a fictional character this much. maybe except pilwon
no matter what gender the author is they must be bi to be able to write this lvl of tension
oh lord saw the raws and its now one of the hottest scenes jve ever seen in bl history
the most unique special chapters ive read and ive read oh so many manhwas. when the special chapters r REALLY special-
andrews eyes show so much love. its not easy to see the look of love drawn so beautifully. so far i’ve only seen this type of eyes in ghosts nocturne, waterside night, unintentionally in love and reunion.
love how xinlus real appearance is garnering attention on this site. it was so fun reading cmts on other earlier sites and social media lmao
it’s laughable how i cant keep myself from not reading this when i dislike jk so much. ngl im still curious how his redemption arcs gon go
not even seo haeyeong from non zero sum can scare me as much as this ml does. props to the artist for making even emotionless eyes look threatening. i was never impressed by character arts that show very little emotions before
i read someone say this and it was on point so im just gonna point this out here. imagine two cars racing towards the same finishing line. the same engine power, the same lvl of skill from the drivers, same speed and basically the same in every aspect. and then suddenly theres this huge pothole in front of them. the car thats able to swerve to the side to avoid it and get back on track quicker is bound to win the race. that car is isagi and the rest are the other car. thats the power of adaptability and thats what isagis abilities center around. its the core concept of his whole character. hes not just some typical mc who gradually improves his physical abilities or learn flashy new tricks and thats what different abt him. its not everyday u see this concept since many actually downplay the importance of adapting
