The story does too much and feels like it should prioritize it's main cover characters over side characters because everything with the side characters is kinda crappy.

Plus after reading "aitsu no daihonmei" (if you haven't read it at least try getting past Ch18 cause that's when it gets good there is bdsm mention and referenced but not shown plus more of a BL than a yaoi (2%)) I kinda wished they kept the silly tone a bit because when it tried to get serious it fumbling the bag between "complex" relationship and "one person is clearly in the wrong here".

Please read "aitsu no daihnonmei" it's the same ugly loser guy x hot popular guy but the hot popular guy likes him because he was his favourite person growing up because ugly guy was the only one nice to him when he was a fat ugly kid. Most of the side couples are still ass tho like there's a lot of hitting on other people despite being boyfriends. To me it's the better version of this dynamic because of how in love the "seme" is. to add to that the dynamic is "seme" teases, pranks and messes with "uke" while dating him and when that's not happening they're hanging out like friends because they've known each other for awhile and before you think "that's boring" the story puts this regular chill comfortable couple in between OHSHC levels of shenanigans and tomfoolery

Is he just gonna bang her for 3 days before she commits suicide. What about their son? These two are terrible people like at least yandere-esq characters care about their family unit and kids. At least be a good father to your son you piece of shit. She's not off the hook either being a neglectful mom is still being a shitty mom. This poor kid is gonna need an isekai protag to fix his trauma and fall in love with him.

writing a believable romance where the characters compliment each other (she and I both have gaps and we fill each others gaps like two halves of a puzzle) or are really compatible.
Manhwa writer: *insert nah drake meme*

There's this inexplicable draw between these two characters and they can't seem to stop their strong feelings of love for one another despite having zero compatibility and knowing/understanding jackshit about each other aka "but daddy I love him" "but why?" "I don't know why I just do despite *insert the worst thing possible to the other character i.e killing parents, physical assault, murder in general, causing a miscarriage"
Manhwa writer: *insert yeah drake meme"

Sometimes the asshole is placed too close to the dick and it looks really awkward. Just my opinion tho.

I feel like the friend is crossing too many boundaries and I know it's supposed to be funny but oh my god there are only so many "can we have a threesome?" And "I'm super horny and have lots of sex with my boyfriend" Jokes you can make

    Akane May 26, 2024 7:50 am

    It really depends on the boundaries between your friendship and i have a girl best friend who has a boyfriend that would say things worse than those stuffs infront of me and my girlfriend

Star got taken away because she copyrighted/patented math and makes people who use her math pay intsallments for using it. She created a subscription service for math. That's not legal and doesn't make sense also capitalism is a plight on society and MC is a greedy capitalist pig. You can't patent a formula because you can't patent math. You can make a theory but oh my god this is a stupid subplot you can't make people pay for it just like you can't make someone pay for using the theory "all living organisms are made of cells" how would you even regulate and keep track of such a thing.

    yamamabitch April 26, 2024 11:59 am

    ur a fucking dumbass. even colors can be patented in the real world. literally shut the fuck up

    like just enjoy the nonsensical story man, even this shit happens irl. yes, even math is patented. shut the fuck up

    iram_ikan April 29, 2024 11:17 am

    They literally have magic powers and the part you're stuck on is whether they can patent a formula? The stick up you're ass must be working overtime for you to try this hard!

    Lizzie May 3, 2024 5:52 am

    That also bothered me, it didn't really benefit anything since the price was so high too. Like maybe a one time small fee would have been better. It was just hyper capitalism. The people that downvoted you probably didn't realize that while you may pay for textbooks, schooling is generally free.

    Lyricalbunny May 12, 2024 12:15 pm

    This story is not that deep, calm down. they only had one formula in that world. So she can make a patent on the new formula she introduced (which was revolutionary, most mages can afford the monthly price it was much lower before being told that mages have much more higher salary lmao)
    While I don’t agree with the capitalist system you need to reread the manhwa because she doing this to buy a noble title otherwise when she remain unmarried she will lose a lot more than money.
    You really didn’t read the story have you?

    key word "generally" so it's not free everywhere and this is just a fictional story it's really not that deep ohmygod I need y'all to go outside, touch some grass and brEATHE AIR

    It just feels like self-indulgent bullcrap like the author just went "look at our main character being crafty and resourceful for using a BASIC MODERN THING" even though she's being greedy and unreasonable and because it's a "basic" thing that doesn't make her seem smart. It just feels lazy and real author going "subscription services make money so if she does this she makes money

    Maybe I pay too much attention to the implications of the story but that doesn't invalidate my experience reading this just because it doesn't align with your "it's just a story bro it's not that deep". I just like a tight story and not lazy wishfufilment.

    I read it it just felt like a cheap way for the author to make her "all high and mighty" for sharing this formula and "so smart for patenting it and making money off of it". It frames her patenting it as a good thing (maybe I'm dumb and forgetful but how does the "buying" of titles work I thought nobility was based on different areas of land they owned is she going to get empty land that she has to renovate or is she taking a piece of someone else's land plus) besides she already said she would be making a coffee business did we really need another way for her to get income. Plus her being very self-serving and self centered makes her insufferable at times and it doesn't even feel like she's in a rush or in any immediate peril so it feels less like "she's trying to survive" and more "she's just being a selfish greedy pretentious prick". Before you say she "selflessly" helped this person I want you to think about how often they are mentioned in the story and not one off sideplots to make her look better but actual people she cares about or has helped because "kindness" (sacrifices she's had to make for said person) or "politeness" or "niceness" (you can point to the little brother but that's more "cute kid" character)


    Not to mention all the "ugly" (none of them are actually ugly they just have more practical features) guys are made to be rapey jackasses so "of course" she has to pick the not rapey guy who is conveniently hot and interested in her

    goodness gracious, she needs a way to make money. I don't really remember the story anymore but this is not the first and surely not the last 'villainess making money from future experience' typa webtoon. if her way seems lazy to you that's on you, she's using future knowledge to her advantage bc she needs to be independent. seems smart to me??? but if you really need to nitpick fictional stories where magic exists and other unrealistic stuff then you go girl, you do you

CuriousGumWad April 16, 2024 3:46 pm

The one thing that made the story unique was the framing device of the girl in between who knew they were in love honestly would've preferred if the three of them became friends(or polyamourous 3 way relationship) or the childhood friends/couple got a friend group whoch would've created more opportunities for entertaining character dynamics and interactions because after a certain point the author/artist abandons the framing device of "girl inbetweens POV" and just sort of gives you interactions of the two boys which is kind of stale and boring when you consider the fact that because of the untraditional introduction we got less attached and accustomed to the love story and the characters which leads to me in particular not caring what happens to the main couple because you know how it's going to play out Ren will be childish while looking like a thug and Tadaomi likes that so he plays into it by being perfect. So yeah real boring wish the concept had better planning and execution because it was really weird when we just cut the outsiders POV out as it felt real generic without the long typical inner monologues of BL in which we learn of characters deep feelings of love and their perspectives on the situation.

I can tell glasses girl is going to be endgame. This has a really interesting hook but oh my god glasses girl is so boring and basic it's annoying. Glasses girl is shy, polite, secretly beautiful when she takes off her glasses so only MC has to fight for her, low self esteem, unathletic, no friends, cute, in love with MC from the shadows(she fell in love with his gardening(wtf),pure and innocent. She has nothing personalised, no personality, no quirks, no hobbies, no friends and who knows maybe the author will give her a brother for the classic trope "Guy gets jealous over guy with main girl but plot twist it's her brother". I just wished she had something to give her some flavour cause she is so bland basic.

    Dude the romance is just generic and mid. I want some spice she's the white bread of love interests and he's a fairly interesting character. Let me guess when they get together it's going to be the "too shy to hold hands and kiss" all dragged out and junk. It's just a waste of a good premise.

    I understand that it's a cliche but you're making it sound worse than it is. It's basically expected at this point. The Japanese audience loves those tropes so it's risky for any story there to deviate from the normal. They are just remixing and remaking what is familiar. The biggest one just so happens to be "The journey of Romance" trope. It's not designed for impatient people who just want them to get it over with and start dating or for people not into romance.

CuriousGumWad April 9, 2024 2:21 pm

Mostly sex with shallow relationship because wouldn't you believe it they fell in love through sex no conversation nor after care no pillow talk. Porn actor falls in love with the uke because uke is "not like other girls". It's really bland and disappointing as a result because the whole story basically goes "when you get horny for someone it's because you're in love" at least for the uke. As a smut it leaves much to be desired in layout and composition a lot of the sex scenes feel very stiff (probably because artist can't draw buff guys without making them look stiff because "muscles are always hard"). Just wish there was some more BL in this yaoi or maybe more communication during sex or them having literally any other interaction that isn't just fucking or talking about work and/or money. Really think about what we know about our two main leads on the one hand you have famous pornstar turned loyal boyfriend through the magical mindblowing sex with the other guy(totally not a wattpad young girl self insert fanfic) how'd he become a pornstar? Who cares. The other guy gets into debt because talking a coworkers debt so he's kind and responsible but also some martyrdom there, he likes sex, he used to think he could top but now he's a bottom, he has a coworker friend, he lives alone(?) any hobbies?,interests? None huh? Maybe the author forgot to give you one inbetween all those ahego faces.

CuriousGumWad April 4, 2024 3:39 am

I like that they don't hyper feminize the bottom. I like the romance because for Ma-kun he's the typical shady criminal guy but he did everything he wanted and was capable of and now he's unfulfilled and bored so he runs away from his partner to Hitoshi who's the male equivalent of a "girl failure" goes to a middle of the road college has a crush on a girl with a boyfriend middle class or lower middle class no friends mom works where she lives so he lives alone. Hitoshi gets Stockholm syndrome because he has no friends and essentially lives alone while Ma-kun becomes the responsible one in the house and essentially becomes a psuedo house wife which he loves because he gets the domestic monotony that he craved while being charmed by the lame failure of Hitoshi. It's really endearing to me how they both find something in each other that they wanted. I think the fact that the only "sex scene" they share is so stilted, awkward,comedic yet intimate is very in character and I think if they did the typical Yaoi sensitive screaming moaning bottom and confident cool "do what I want" top it'd be really out of character and real weird and kinda "rapey"
