Its not just me right? The chapters in this manhwa is super short compared to Omega complex and I'd argue this is not good. Waiting for weekly updates only for it to be so little progress in the story. We got a whole ass chapter just of them studying and going outside for a quick smoke. Meanwhile in Omega complex, we can have a whole chapter where Yoonwoo goes out for a smoke, gets confessed to by Dohyun, rejects him and brings Taegyeom home. No doubt this manhwa will be just as good but 3-5 of these chapters being in one makes more sense to me.
author burnout is real, i assume omega complex chapters were not sustainable in the long term
Judging by this author's previous work, "Kiss me, Liar" and the beginning 9 chapters of this manhwa, I already do not have high hopes. Keith was already bad enough and Chase seems no better than Keith. In chapter 5 he already assaults Josh by pistol whipping him in the face and then he proceeds to nearly shoot him but only be unable to bc his gun is jammed or empty. And THEN he KICKS Henry off of the helicopter into this hoard of zombies called fans and nearly killed him. IDK how this could be any better than Kiss me Liar bc she had 60 plus chapters to salvage Keith's character and still did not manage to do that. The names are atrocious. "Chase miller, Joshua Bailey"...the most BORING, uncreative white names. At the moment, the only good thing is the art and Josh's tenacity. Moral of the story: this author makes AWFUL male leads with no explanation too, not even a half-baked, unjustified ,sad ass backstory.
If the story follows the novel, Chase's worst moments are in these first chapters. If it helps, he's in a terrible mental state because he takes experimental drugs to stop his ruts, because he's traumatised to the point that he refuses to sleep with anyone. IMO, his character does get salvaged, and he is extremely different from Keith. Take Kiss Me, Liar as an example, Keith sleeps with everything in his sight, and gets uke to make him lists of women to sleep with, and even then, he is an asshole rapist. Josh on the other hand isn't as weak as the other uke, as he is very experienced and also as you've seen in the recent chapter, doesn't really take shit. I believe that this story if adapted correctly, won't have rape, especially in the main couple, as Chase in the novel, gets mortified after hearing that Pete is his child, because he gets worried that he raped Josh, which he didn't do. He is an asshole more so at the start, but he becomes more submissive at one point. I don't blame your skepticism, as honestly, the bar is in hell most of the time with bls.
Here is the novel if you would like to have a skim through:

Daaaamn I'm actually so glad
I also didn't have high hopes bc of in the main Keith doesn't even change his behavior and Yeonwoo forgets him anyways. but you just convinced me to keep reading it lol
No dont compare it to kiss me liar, this is far far better than it. The only thing bad abt seme is his attitude and potty mouth which again as the person above stated stems from the drugs he has to take and a particular childhood trauma caused by his brother. Other than that chase is a good seme, he refuses to sleep with anyone even in the worst situations and josh was the only person he slept with. Later on you will slowly see how Submissive and emotional chase is. Kiss me liar is dogshit plot glorifying rape and Cheating, this is nothing like that.
Man, manhwas seem to really like this gangster seme x young almost minor uke in a rural setting huh? "2020" and "A gig of the day" both feature a very similar plot to this. The whole age gap thing is eh but the problem with this is just the lack of diversity in plot. It's just older gangster guy who's morally grey but we don't know what he actually does whose portrayed to be this bad boy but deep down a kind person while the uke is just this helpless little thing who looks super young and is almost a minor but not really (i.e. 19-21) and has debt bc his dad fucked his family over but he's jailbait and incredibly naïve. AND after 20 chapters, we still don't know much about ANY of the characters beside their designated stereotype so HOW THE FUCK is this any different from the other two manhwa's I mentioned? The art? I mean this shit is alright but just boring bc its copy and paste.
man nobody cares i'm just happy to get not one but 2 cakes to eat uppp. life is tough and this shit aint that serious, is all
Get this wokeness out of here
Get this ^ pos out of here
Idk, its hot BUT it sort of throws you off with how quick they switch to Sihyun being so forward and kinky? Its just super off putting bc we jump from edging the audience to immediately sucking dick with a tongue piercing and no lube.
What can I say.. man was desperate
Damn, rereading this with the official chapters makes me realize how much of A DICKHEAD Keith is, like through and through. I mean I remember grading this only 3 stars precisely bc of Keith's character. There's really no growth or change, not even warming up to Yeonwoo. The omegaverse lore doesn't really make sense to be honest and the ONLY reason I gave this 3 stars is bc of Yeonwoo's tenacity. It was going so good when he fought back and cut Keith off and even drugged and ran away from him. No where and I mean NO WHERE can you show or convince me that Keith loves Yeonwoo.
This needs to be longer, not only to show more of their relationship progress and character developments but also for the world building. This is an extremely interesting world about coexisting humans and beastmen. There is hidden lore here that is not being explored.
Couldn't take the art seriously as it has downgraded and when he said my "perfect" boyfriend, I legitimately rolled my eyes as he is the most manipulative, possessive, selfish character in this manhwa. And the fact that Wooseo called Jigeon's BROTHER/his best friend about his sex life after all that romantic misunderstanding between all 3 is...something. Honestly, can't remember a lot of this manhwa but I know it wasn't that great as author glossed over the manipulation and selfishness of Jigeon in a couple snaps of the fingers and all of a sudden, he's the perfect bf after only a couple weeks. HA HA!
The author never posed the ML as perfect lover. He has he dark side while MC someone who can accept that dark side. That why they are fate partner. With MC timidity, someone like ML needed in his life. Someone to guide him and give him confidence to do what they want. ML definitely a Dom. He like things to go his way while MC like when someone deeply in love with him to the point he can be controlled. It is like the conformation that his lover loves him. It gave him confidence that his lover will never fall out of love.
In reality, this type of thing happened constantly but it just they never show it to strangers or even family. Sometimes, it happened without both people realise. The common strategy is pet, love rival and family.
Never said the author posed the ML as a perfect lover. I'm referring to the literally MC calling the ML "my perfect boyfriend" Just bc these types of relationships happen doesn't mean its not toxic. Clearly MC has been manipulated and the author glossed over everything just with the excuse that they're fated partners to make it work out.
I had this manga in my "to read" list for a while and I only saw it advertised on IG so I thought it would be a good one. Its not entirely bad but I was expecting more esp with one that is not based in high school and the fact that the characters are in their early 20s. I expected more maturity and a less juvenile way of going about things but all I saw was a very naive look on love (which is fine) paired with a bunch of misunderstandings/assumptions and this POS of a brother. Like get your sasuke brat act out of here! Bro's like Omg, Airi likes my brother wahh...I think...but I'm not gonna ask her or communicate to either of them, I'm just gonna run away for THREE years. This could've just been done better...
I glance at the first couple of chapter and it says Jaekyung is 17?!? How much older is our main character? Why TF do these characters always have to be a minor or have a huge age gap? Why can't this be situated in college years?
When the uke started to work at the agency, the seme was 17 but now he is 20/21
Ah? It's a 7 year gap from what I saw before... Also, they weren't in a relationship back then. So why do you mention him being a minor in a flashback?
I got a notification about this and DAMN I didn't know it already finished. Last time I read was somewhere around chapter 60 and it was getting really boring, cliche and uninteresting compared to the beginning. According to recent comments, my gut was right about this taking a bad turn. Sigh* such a disappointment to learn it did not get better.
Oops I got to chapter 90 something actually
