The story was avarage and the main couple was kinda uninteresting, unfortunately. Very cliché too. All in all, it was a fine story tho.
I probably would have enjoyed this more if the ml really was just a psycho murderer who got off on killing people tbh lol(it's more fun seeing unhinged charas like that falling for a totally innocent chara to me). Also, even tho everything concluded in the ending, it still felt unsatisfying. Wish there were more side stories that showed their married life or smth, to tie everything together better, but it is also always fun to see official side stories that are AUs instead of epilogues, since they are rare, so it's alright i guess.
My biggest complaint in the end is that i wanted to see more of Grey(cop) x Demian(journalist). I totally shipped them in the main story and they were sneakily confirmed in the first side story with matching rings on their left ring fingers. I WANTED TO SEE THEM CONFIRMED IN THE MAIN STORY TOO┗( T﹏T )┛. Their dynamic was already cute as frenemies, so i wanted to see them as a couple too.. tbh, i found them cuter and more interesting than the main couple, they were probably what i liked the most about the whole story lol.
(edited cause i sounded a bit too harsh than i intended to, hehe( ̄∇ ̄"))
I really liked this story, it was seriously adorable. I'm glad that Ash didn't end up being a trash seme like i feared in the beginning, cause Karlyle was my babyboi and he deserves the absolute best. That may have come outta nowhere, but it's honestly pretty rare for me to simp like this for one of the characters from the main couple in yaoi. I usually just think they're cute or handsome, and be done with it, but bro, i'm straight up jealous of Ash, cause damn, Karlyle is an absolute catch. He's handsome, competent, honest and straighforward and always tried his best to express his thoughts. Even traits that are usually negative, just made him more cute and lovable. F*ck, Ash is so lucky.
Anyways, i need to find more stories with masculine ukes who only ever topped before, but is first time bottoming for the ml seme(it's especially good if it's bc the uke likes the seme and that's why he is willing to do it and ends up liking it). Apparently i really like this dynamic, not just cause of my boi Karlyle, but there was one more manhwa i read before that had this dynamic and i really liked it in it as well(if anyones curious, it's called "Exotic Love", but i wouldn't exactly call that manhwa adorable and wholesome, even tho i really liked it personally xd)
If anyone has any recommendations with the above dynamic, please do tell!
Have you read Pizza delivery man and the Golden Palace? The bottom only top before he met the ml. The couple’s dynamic is kinda different from AshLyle but the the characters are really well-written and the story is wholesome (still on-going)
Never heard of that one before, will check it out, tysm for the recommendation!(But also, what a silly sounding title lol. From reading the synopsis, it sounds like a serious story, but the title is so silly xd)
IKR I feel like the title is a bit too much for a BL
