Holy shit it kept getting better and better???!?! The story seemed so simple at first and then turned out to be a whole roller coaster what i also like was that the author wasn't afraid to include "problematic" themes, making them part of the story-telling that keeps u on the edge of the seat!!! Especially at the second half of the story absolutely amazing and a MASTERPIECE WTF
As beautiful of a story it was, i have a feeling that the author still has so many ideas for this story but for some reason she had to limit the chapters. Cat warned about a man with a tattoo on his back that's been haunting dojin's dreams... and it was just.. that. Like what was even the point of that panel that shows his tattoo? Lol I just thought there's going to be more of the black tortoise and his new emperor's antagonism. I love BWAT's works but i'd say this is their most rushed one yet. I'm still so sad about rabbit tho :(
The man with the back tattoo is the new emperor of black tortoise’s country though? The whole point of that country being antagonistic was because of that. True, I think he should’ve gotten more screen time but I was never confused on what was happening and why.
Yeah, I know his role and i wasn't really confused about that. I wasn't confused about the character himself, but more about that specific panel that shows his tattoo. The author emphasized the panel as if it's going to make another appearance that will stir up the story. But it didn't turn out to be anything special lol that's why i was thinking that Perhaps they had more ideas abt the story but they had to cut it short
And yeah it's exactly as u said. He was the villain and made him look all intimidating and shit but he didn't get much screen time in the end. Aside from the dreams, he was just... there
Oh okay gotcha. I also thought the reveal of him was gonna have something more to do with the tattoo because it seemed significant. All I can think of is that Dojin has a back tattoo of a snake and I remember the scene were Yellow Dragon noticed it and asked him about it, to which he responded with saying how it was something he and an old friend got together but he didn’t like thinking about it. And when they revealed the guy with the eagle tattoo on his back I though there was a connection, like ”oh, this is probably the guy he got the tattoo with” but then that was never really explored. So yeah, I agree with you that I see the author probably had way more ideas than they fully showed in the actual manhwa. I honestly think it could have been longer with more chapter or at least a side story? But maybe that’s just because I want more since the stuff I read was so good.
I think there was more story behind it but the author had to prioritize. Too many lose ends, like what happened with tortoise and his new emperor which was the bad guy. I had the impression that the same bad guy is the one that killed cat. So many things that could have developed but at the end didn’t.
Also the eagle tatto (hunter) is the counterpart of the tatto Dojin has (a serpent, usually prey of eagles or hunting birds) so I imagine that guy convinced Dijon to get that tatto as in making him his prey. But I never got to see any of that, lol.
It was a good story but undeveloped. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
I'm sorry but this is making me angry i can't blame itsuki for not acting on his feelings bc from his pov, shida isn't giving clues abt his sexuality and ofc you'd be scared for things to be awkward after confessing. It turns out shida alr realized his feelings long ago (!!) and itsuki has been laying it all out for him - shida ALREADY KNOWS that the boy is yearning ages ago like he even knows he was kissed in his sleep my guy even tolerated being friends-with-benefits for a while after their reunion
Okay. I get being afraid at the beginning. I'm just mad it took shida sooo fricking longg to act on it. He waited years before making an effort to reach out to itsuki and even wanted to let fate meet them blah blah miss me with that bullshit not to mention that he Knows he was kissed again in his sleep during their arrangement (clear implication of itsuki's current feelings) so when he said that he was just afraid of being avoided again.. like brother no it seemed like ure playing with his feelings at that point. It's YOUR turn to meet itsuki in-between - how he does not see this when he had all the clues is beyond me. Well at least he finally took the initiative at the end. So there's that
I swear i can deal with miscommunication and slow burn stuff these are fr my breakfast meal but as long as i can make sense of the direction of the story and i can understand where the characters are coming from.
It honestly made me so frustrated when he admitted that he knew. I was like ," REALLY?" It felt a little cruel,if I'm honest.
It actually gets better and better???? They definitely grew as a person - the character development was really nice to see like i think it was written well. I wish there were more extras coz i wanted to see more of their cohabiting life! (づ￣ ³￣)づ
BROOOOO I READ THIS IN ONE SITTING AND THAT WAS TRULY A ROLLERCOASTER MASTERPIECE OF A RIDE!!! How they met their end was devastatingly beautiful pls i keep on thinking what could've happened if geum ho held on a bit longer before his ex came instead of desperately reaching out for the ring which caused the fire they didn't care about anything else but each other and their love im so SICK it breaks my heart realizing that in the past life, eunhoo was getting well and he must have had no idea that his brother was fucking dyingg GAWD ahh this author is amazing what the hell fjdkfkdk
Finding out they died together so beautifully and it was a past life broke me into pieces omfg I can’t stop crying
I get u.. im still in shambles. They were like fuck power and everything else i am IN LOVE and HAPPY
I'm glad saeki was able to redeem himself properly. He finally rejected the girl upfront and confessed his feelings while acknowledging his shitty actions and apologizing for them. In a way, they both grew up throughout the story. :)
Yes, it has misunderstanding and miscommunication that we're all so tired of, but I wouldn't say they're unnecessary at all. It's given from how the author portrayed their individual disposition and experiences, so it's not surprising that they're awkward and can't express their feelings (at first).
