The author struggles with developing meaningful endings, they're so weirdly timed and the mc's feelings and behaviours never match the context.
You know, these stories make a lot of sense when you frame them around the concept of 'what would someone with the emotional capacity of a toddler do?'
Toddlers don't try to create codependency, tie you down, and threaten to lock you up.
I honestly love any scene involving their families. Like it has such unhinged energy.
Yes homosexuality is criminalised in many places, mostly within western and north Africa countries and some places within Asia irl. It usually occurs in countries that are culturally conservative and have an enmeshment of religion and government. Is that the setting of this story? I find it fkn weird this author would implement it like it's a funny plot point for mc to move out and not a depiction of legitimate systemic hardcore discrimination. Oh but its ~fiction~, fkn please.
My point exactly lol Not to mention the completely stupid interactions, the blackmail scene was laughable.
This boy think with his dick, in that he doesn't think at all he just has sex lol. I'm straight - nah just sex no homo, I sort of like and worry for u - be my fuck buddy 'officially', I'm jealous - we should have sex, like right now when you're asleep
I feel like its confusing because MC keeps calling main owen (lol this story is chaotic) Asperier and then also calls Asperier (scarf boi) by the same name. Is that because initially when he met them, thats the name he was given? What was space captain called again
They are all owens We do not need to worry about the names (for now at least), just remember that silver hair owen without the scarf is the main owen
haha too true. In owen we trust amen x
A bit rogue of me, I've literally just started this story. But I've noticed that when stories like these are written by Korean authors they seem to struggle with conceptualising multiculturalism or like the diaspora experience because of they've never experienced a non homogenous context. Also SK doesn't allow dual nationality lol.
This isn't even about this story in particular haha, just something I've noticed. Just someone being born and raised in Canada is also Canadian, not just a Korean who's now chosen to move 'home'. I just feel like there's an undercurrent of assumed nationalism, that I think people who've experienced otherwise may not inherently develop. And not just SK, but I notice it with loads of countries particularly those which require mandatory military service e.g., Singapore (the propaganda is crazzzy in singapore), Israel, SK etc.
frr like isnt canada also his home
