The story is okay but there’s this feeling of unsatisfaction. I don’t know why I feel that way but yeah, a good read. He’d definitely would’ve gone to jail if he pursued such a relationship. But I wish there was more to the ending because it just felt like the love was one-sided and was entirely decided by the seme’s narrative. I mean there are moments wherein we see the older uke’s perspective. But like… it’s just, I don’t know. It’s just weird for me after all that denial they’ll just end up together. With no sense of desperation from the older uke. Also, they coincidentally meet in a bar, lol. The story probably would’ve been perfect if they actually did end up with different partners. It would have fit the bittersweet theme that the author was going for. Instead they went a cliche route where they ended up together because, why not, lol. I don’t know, i’m not making any sense, but em probably just disappointed that after all that vehement denial from the uke, their reunion seems lukewarm and forced in my opinion.
After all the uke has been through, i’m just relieved that the seme took him away. While this story may be short; it is still good. I was rooting for the development arc of the uke as he re-learned basic emotions and values again. I also loved that the seme’s treatment of the uke did not change despite being used by multiple guys. For me, that was probably the best part of the whole thing because he continued to treat him the same. This should be something that is learned in real life; especially those who slut-shamed people just because they have had multiple partners.
Not gonna lie, reading this manga was PAIN for me. It was cute at the beginning bcs of the passive-aggressive attitude of the uke. It’s a good thing I stopped when I saw that black-haired bitch invited the uke for a drink. So seeing the comments that the rape extended for SIX FUCKING MONTHS is making me lose hope for the plot bcs let’s be honest it’s just dumb. For example, the seme has always said how “the team is important”, so I assumed or there should be the assumption that he’s close with the guys. He also has awards to back up his skills so I don’t know why they are bitching about him being in the team.
The problem is just dumb and could be fix if the seme exerted his seniority which is a big thing in Korea.
There could have been a better way to do this story and showcased how rape is prevalent in their culture as well. But I will probably read the last chapter of when this is completed… bcs despite my comments I’d still love for the uke and seme have a good ending. Especially after what the author put them through.
I can’t wait for the next chapters! At first, I think it was his Stockholm syndrome talking when Yeo Dam wanted the emperor to be saved. After all, with everyone who he was close with dead; in a twisted way, the emperor is the one closest to him in that lifetime. Which I think was purposely done by that emperor so that he could be the only “one” in Yeo Dam’s life. With all the traumatic things the emperor has done to him in his past lifetime, it is justified that he would hate him that much.
That’s why the emperor’s redemption arc here would be so good because now with the values taught to him by Yeo Dam and his experienced with the common folks we could see how nurture plays a role in shaping a person’s personality. It’d probably be hard for Yeo Dam though, after all 8 or more years is still not enough time to forget the traumatic things that happened.
That’s why I really can’t wait for the next chapters!!!

The story is good. I guess chapter 6 was a bit weird for me because him sleeping with another guy seems to be a conflict that should at least have 2-3 chapters dedicated to it. And not just “rushed mentioned” when they were out together for a trip.
Also I have no problems with him sleeping with when the uke told him off to do just that. It actually gives me the Ross-Rachel dilemma of ‘we were on a break’. My only problem with that is probably how the seme was portrayed because he seemed to be this loyal-dedicated lover type of guy; also he was supposed to be emotionally engaged with the uke. So him sleeping with different guys - he implied he did it multiple times - makes his feelings shallow and too disingenuous. That is probably why people have trouble with chapter 6.
It is definitely a good read tho, ch 1-5 was interesting. Ch 6 just, it should have just been an extra episode without that conflict suddenly mixed in.
I’m not condoning pedophilia especially the sexualization of children. However, this piece has already emphasized that the uke will wait for the seme to grow up. Also, I don’t get why you would still continue reading it if you’re so uncomfortable with the plot.
Another point I have to make is that shoujo mangas literally also have the same age-gap plotline like Hirunaka No Ryuusei. Or those japanese films that has a student-teacher relationships.
Overall, it’s a good manga that shows how societal pressure has an impact on the relationship. A point that is usually ignored in Shoujo because it is “love”.
To be honest, I’m thankful for every translator who does this for free! Just imagining you guys putting all the effort one chapter takes is amazing. People who don’t appreciate it should just leave, after all, these translators are doing it for free for those who cannot understand korean or japanese. They’re doing this wonderful thing so that they could share why they this author’s work and why it needs recognition.
So istg, imma smack ass to anyone who talk smack abt the translators bcs it’s not easy to upload daily like they do!
Also, Neko-ya, I hope and wish you well! You guys are the reason why I have something to look forward to when I wake up! Thank you for all your service
Wow that last chapter just made me hate Khaol all over again. What do you mean by letting him go!? You let him die! There’s a difference! It was only through Forrest’s will that he was able to coexist with the old god.
I just really don’t like how he sugar-coated giving up River’s life in exchange for his lover’s. His lover, mind you, that wanted peace and not be in that lifeless state. So Khaol is really just a selfish, piece of trash! Period.
I just realized that stalking or stalking tendencies, in general, are accepted by society if and only if the stalker is moderately attractive. If the seme in this story was a bald, ugly dude then that person being stalked wouldn’t just tolerate everything that is happening to him.
Anyway, cool story. Kind of a bummer that we didn’t get the name of the stalker tho... but it’s still a nice read.
Just putting it out there: I love black-haired Hyunjin.
Anyway, the story for me is okay. I kinda enjoyed it ngl. But I noticed one plot hole(?), idk, tell me if it’s a plot hole. But this inconsistency just bothers me. So if all the personality in that hotel is essentially just Hyunjin then what about the first personality that was killed? The part that actually doesn’t like Hyunjin. Didn’t Doyoung ultimately choose one personality to be killed? So in the end, doesn’t this negate the moral of the story which is fully accepting Hyunjin as he is and not just one personality. Because he basically just created a Hyunjin that still has all the basic emotions but killed off that one personality that didn’t really like him.
