Im on ch9 and I only got this far cuz the comments are prasing the story so much but i'm getting kinda bored. Should I drop this or does it genuinely get better?
Personally I like it a lot BUT it’s super slow burn. I think the characterisation is rlly rlly good, but in terms of pacing it’s different from most other BL that moves super fast. Like they haven’t become romantic yet from what I can see so if u would want them to be clearly into eachother by now (currently ch47) u might not like it
People who have read the novel, should I read the novel first? Does this adaptation do it justice or would you recommend I read the novel
Both are good ! The manhwa did follow the novel, if you want to get vision about what the action looks like then the manhwa is for you and it always leaves confusion in which pov is talking. You can read the novel to be more updated and just have fun in total, since the novel is already completed (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
i love the story so far but am i the only one bothered by the fact that they actively call each other uncle/ nephew ???
As a reader of Chinese Xianxia and BL online novels, I THANK YOU so much for confirming that. I noticed how second and third generation rich young masters always call the hired cook "auntie" and the choffer "uncle" in Chinese BLs (I kinda liked that cause I too had an "auntie" of sorts growing up, and she WAS like family)
Hahaha yep. It bugs me so much actually when western fans of something try to push the "shipping them is a proship because he/she calls him (insert familial title)" like no . In fact growing up I thought that "auntie (ayi)" was actually a job title for maid and had no idea that meant aunt cause I called my aunt something else lol
That really doesn't bother me too much because it's a mythology or in this case, a 'fanfic' of the Egyptian mythology. In some myths, there is always an incestuous relationship. The Greek has Gaia and Uranus (mother/son), Zeus and Hera(siblings), the Japanese one has Izanami and Izanagi (twins). Even Isis and Osiris, Nepthys and Seth are siblings. Same thing for their parents.
his mouring for hikaru is always so painful to read. the whole "what-if" aspect is so sad :((
