I feel kinda guilty for reading this but the eye candy was amazing. The first half was actually so damn wholesome, and then he’s having sex with 6 guys, still pretty wholesome, then the whole class which was weird territory lmao. I can imagine a polyamorous relationship with him and the first set of guys haha

Optimistic-Prediction: director and Yoon continue this relationship, slowly start to have feelings. Taesung realizes that his bf did something/acts shady/is toxic, decides to end it bc their relationship was based on a lie or something, or he realizes he doesn’t really love him. Regrets that he pushed Yoon away, tries to get back with him. Yoon is falling for director, wants to move on now, rejects Taesung, starts dating director seriously. Taesung and Yoon now platonic friends. Taesung eventually find someone he really loves after slowly looking and falling for them. He deserves a good relationship even if he can’t be with Yoon, I think he jumped into his current one for the wrong reasons or at a bad time. He’s really only staying because he ‘should’, it seems, even if he does care for his bf. I think, if it’s not Yoon, he should take his time healing, get to know someone else slowly and gradually, fall in love, date, happily ever after

I can’t dislike any of the characters, though there are some niggling aspects (though this is just the characters being human).

Ex-TaeJung: I feel bad for him, but outright ignoring Yoon, not responding to any texts, never looking him in the eye - is a bit cruel. I’m split saying he owes him the attention, but y’all have known each other for all your lives. Even if you’re not lovers anymore, you could’ve hand,Ed the situation a bit differently, actually talked things out. Make it clear that you need to move on, but damn, look him in the eyes at least. Breaking up with him is one thing, but pretending he doesn’t exist a bit... Idk, I guess I’d just expect a bit more support from a lifelong friend. Obviously the relationship is complicated, but TaeJung knows that literally the only thing Yoon has is him and photography. I don’t hate him, just felt like he could’ve handled it better. When it comes to his feelings for both his current bf and Yoon, his emotions are obvious, and his choices are his own. We can all tell he cares for his current bf but not to the extent that he loved Yoon. As much as people are thinking that cutting things off and ending things between them is the best choice, it’s different for every situation. Love doesn’t really expire for some people. The only thing that’s really changed is that Taesung decided to move on and distance himself from his last relationship, which was can be a healthy choice, though there’s no clear way to move on when you think your spouse is dead. In some ways, dating again just to “move on” can do more harm than good, but refusing to date completely just because you still love your “dead” lover is also harmful. Personally, I think his not being in a relationship with Yoon is his choice, and I support his decision mostly. But I’m not sure if he current relationship is very good either. Though literally the current relationship is the only thing keeping him for being with a Yoon again. That’s not to say it would end up well even if they were together. I guess I support his moving on, not being in a relationship with Yoon, but I not think he’s current relationship is very good for him either, especially when he’s obviously still obsessed with Yoon’s well-being. His current relationship is unfair to himself and nphis new partner. I’m not sure if having a partner is part of his healing process or something, but I think he should move on completely before dating, not date in order to move on. I like his devotion to he relationship, but if devotion is your biggest reason for staying, then you are yet again hurting yourself and your partner.

Taesung’s-new-bf: okay, he’s obviously acting a bit toxic.Good on him for supporting someone going through hard times, though getting in a relationship with them while they’re grieving means a dubious start to the relationship. I’m not saying he took advantage of Taesung’s grief, but he got into that relationship while, he was vulnerable. Now he’ll always question whether Taesung only chose him because he was sad and couldn’t have what he wanted. Personally, even if I was in love with someone, if they were grieving that badly, I would prefer to stay friends until the grief is long over. ~however, that’s possibly what happened anyway. He most likely started dating him once the ‘healing’ was done. It’s just iffy because there is no set period for surpassing the rebound-for-my-(not)dead-ex timing. Now, moving on. He says stuff like “Why couldn’t he have stayed dead? I wish he never came back.” Excuse me, sir? Get over yourself. The world doesn’t revolve around you. I understand, but if you’re so convinced that he’ll leave you as soon as his old ex is back, you might as well end it now. If you’re telling your current partner to “cut off completely”someone he’s known and cared for his entire life, your relationship obviously isn’t strong enough to withstand and you’ll never fully trust each other, and will make each other miserable. If Taesung and Yoon were just lovers, and not lifelong friends, I would understand cutting it off (somewhat) because they were never anything besides lovers. But telling your lover to ignore someone’s existence just because they used to date is toxic. Plenty of people can be platonic friends with their ex, though Yoon really isn’t one of them. My point is: if you have to act that way to maintain your relationship, it’s already over.

Yoon: the guy is literally fading away. He woke up from a coma of five years to see that the love of his life has moved on, and he can’t even hate him or the new bf for it, because “waiting” is not realistic in this situation, though it happens sometimes. In his life, there was only Taesung and photography, so he still clinging to what he’s got left. It’s clear he’s still in love with Taesung, but expanding his relationships will let him heal. He used to receive all that for Taesung, but he can make friends that give him something similar, find a lover maybe, and eventually he won’t “need” Taesung quite so much, even if he was in love with him. This was painful af to read in the beginning, and I couldn’t direct any of my anger anywhere because it’s no one’s fault. Seeing him finally start to distance himself a bit is nice, and while he is lifelong friends with Taesung too, he has to at least distance himself from the time they were lovers. Best case scenario, Taesung and Yoon would still be talking, but transitioning back to friendship, so they can support and heal and regroup. Again, Taesung distancing and moving on is understandable, but cutting out Yoon’s existence doesn’t really do anyone any good, yoon was acting a bit clingy to the relationship, but I think if he looked him in the eye, explained things, talked them out in the beginning as opposed to “This is the way things are. No more us. Bye”, yoon would’ve had an easier time accepting it. They could have family dinners, idk transition. Lmao, ignore me, maybe them sticking to get her that early and to that extent is dangerous, but still. At least look the man in the face (which he eventually did). Anyway, poor Yoon, but he’s dealing with it. He doesn’t have any blame in this, but ultimately, he and Taesung breaking up is probably for the best. Taesung seems to need someone that will stay by his side, value him more than work generally (I.e. Yoon left to another country for a dangerous job. Taesung seems to need someone tag at wouldn’t leave when e down to that choice). It doesn’t make Yoon a bad person, photography is his passion. It has more to do with ultimate compatibility in terms of daily life.

Director/sunbae: he’s divorced, and kinda weird XD HE recommended that Yoon, who’s ex is now attached, try to strike up a cheating-sex relationship. He knows that was a bad suggestion lmao. Maybe his wife did that to him with a side lover and that’s why they divorced? Idk, but his general answer to things seems to be sex. When sex-with-ex didn’t work out, he’s like sex-with-me instead lol, he may or may not currently be crushing on Yoon too. But as a sex friend, he’s top notch. It’s all the benefits of a normal relationship without all the baggage. Sounds ideal. He even takes care I of Yoon and gives him sweet little kisses.

I do find it really interesting how Yoon is noe experimenting with a lighter relationship. It could make sense in some ways. In a romantic relationship, he might get too attached, and conflict weighs very heavily on him. In an only-sex(-and-companionship) relationship, he can learn to experience somethings a relationship offers without risking his heart. He’s romantically inclined, but a simple relationship might help him heal

Bruh, I didnt know he said that to her. I thought their relationship was just “cold”, not “I HATE YOU I REGRET YOU BLAH BLAH”, I thought he was just a bit neglectful and absent and that’s how she died. And it looks like he said that after she tried to give birth? No, sir, I honestly don’t give a shit that you’re sad/depressed without your first wife. You could just shut up. Can the knight please be the ML? He cute, he’ll actually protect you, it’s an upgrade, looks like.

I say this, but I’ll probably still read even if they end up together because the story’s good.

Please make them friends, author. Bromance is so wholesome. And he needs a friend close by that knows about the ‘darker’ side of him anyway

Lmao, the seme sucks at general social interactions unless he really want something and needs to be persuasive *cough* sex *cough*. Their dynamic is even more interesting now that MC isn’t as scared and has his little moments of sass and snarkiness lol

Wow, her family is so shitty, though it was somewhat interesting to see her brother realize that she was never actually happy around them (obviously). I guess *technically* he’s been conditioned since he was young that treating her like shit is only natural, and why would put she be oh-so-happy when he finally does give her attention.? He still sucks though

Damn, I just got to chapter 15, and as soon as his friend blushed, I KNEW ╥﹏╥ nooo poor friend has the best-friend-in-love-with-MC syndrome!!!! Why do authors do that? :( poor poor friend is in the front seat of his crush's romance. Well, it looks like the other friend noticed, so its really possible he'll end up paired with him. Silver lining ig

B-but the butterflies :( it’s not their fault they drink blood. I hope that wasn’t all of them, considering it took all that effort to hatch them

poor girl literally got turned into a goddamn sword in her past life, is reborn and decides to raise and tame a tyrant prince. surprisingly not that manipulative because she honestly laid her cards on the table early on. she basically said to his face "I'm gonna be doing things to get you obsessed with me. I'd like it if you got obsessed" XD she's just not telling him the reason

it's interesting that her past fiance, who doesn't even seem to be the ML, got reborn too, though to a lesser degree because his memories are less clear. Then again, he was probably the only person to show care for her in her previous life, sweet guy

i never know what to expect every time I read a new chapter of this, lmao

WhatAWorld created a topic of Black or White

So the seme is pretty iffy XD their relationship is like an innocent angel that got caught by a demon/beast. The seme basically has sadistic qualities, but the uke accepts it so it seems okay? Theres a bit of toxicity but the seme is aware and handling it somewhat

Bruh "If you like it and I like it, we can do it again someday" thats literally the most romantic proposition for casual sex I've ever heard. Also, the frequency of guys in manga masturbating in bathrooms XD ignoring the hygeine issue, I guess itd just be easier overall because its an...outer appendage. Girls have to do fucking gymnastics just to get comfy enough to masturbate lmao, like legs-open, horizontal, angled, etc etc and guys can do it walking down the street. XD ok, Im done. I thought too deeply into that. Not thay anyone should be doing it in bathrooms or public

WhatAWorld asked a question

BL recc where there's an actual normal progression to their relationship? Not necessarily a bunch of drama and jealousy but flirting, dates, dating. I guess I'm technically looking for fluff, but my main request is where their first meeting isnt just... the seme sexually assaulting the uke or something

Ok, so Estella has three layers.
Outter-most: female disguise - known by the public and the empress and the maids
Inner: Male disguise - known by her male friends, co-workers, the Countess, and supposedly the crown prince
Inner-Most: WOMAN - known by her new servant dude, probably the countess bc she undressed her, most likely the prince (because he's obviously in love with her and rarely in manga is a man that ends up with a women bisexual)

Sorry, was forgetting who knew her as what and forgetting her actual original gener so i had to type it out for myself lmao
