I've been tired of the recent manga or manhwas I've been reading but picked up this one from my want to read list randomly and I hit a jackpot. I knew from like chapter 5 or even from the very first chapter, that this was gonna be peak BL... not even BL, just PEAK fiction. I binged this till even skimming the raw chapters.
The premise itself isn't entirely unique but the storytelling, the pacing, the characters are absolutely amazing. I am not surprised that this is based off of a novel bc this level of story writing would most likely never start from just a manhwa itself. This story isn't even over yet but I already rate it 5 stars. The way this story focuses on our main character's POV, thought processes, and reasoning make us as an audience understand and WANT to know how everything happened and what will happen next. The pacing of jumping from the present to the past is so seamless bc it does not happen out of nowhere but from the point where our main character is reminded of the past. The focus on the past at the right times also gives us context but just enough mystery to make us want more. Both MC and ML are complex characters that we learn a lot about from both the past and the present. The art style is amazing with focus on facial expressions and body language.
The only thing I am confused about is when does the ML regain his memories bc SPOILERS* in the raw chapters, he throws away his diary and the engagement ring, stating it had an owner but he wasn't sure who. If he remembered that MC is the girl, then wouldn't he NOT throw it away? Or the story is going in another path where the ML will not totally regain his memories bc technically memories don't work in the magical fictional ways where an amnesiac remembers EVERYTHING they forgot. Can somenone spoil the story for me regarding this plotpoint?
