He was so happy that he got to ride the bus! he’s been running everywhere, sore, tired, scared, he finally could rest, eat good food and have a roof over his head. My tortured lil ball of sunshine, hope the red flag ML continues to be kind, that’s literally the least he could do (〜￣△￣)〜
I almost cried dude, poor lil mc
Jinx, painter of the night, legs that won’t walk- the few that has the similar toxic trope yet gets so much traction cause the art is good, and also- toxic storylines are just captivating, like a horror movie. A smutty horror, if u will-
I don’t think anyone supports this or even want it in real life, most of us just want to see how it plays out. the ML feels completely irredeemable in every way, but there is no one else, and the author is known for ‘happy’ endings with the MC & ML ending up together. So it’s fun to see how it goes, eventho so far it’s been a total fucking shitshow in terms of romance hah.
I have zero idea why the side couple had such loooooooooong chapters in between the main story, and then have the ENTIRE side stories dedicated to them. Where’s the main couple epilogue? Why have ZERO epilogue/side story for the first couple we followed throughout? Crazy.
So much that could’ve been done:
Newlyweds phase, Hilarious pregnancy moments- (doyun is so strong, maybe pregnancy is a walk in the park for him, or maybe it’ll be the first time where he feels more vulnerable physically- either way would have the return of his overprotective crying frog faced alpha, which is fun)
Slice of life moments- have a scene where taehyun’s dream comes true, going off to work and seeing his omega & baby wishing him a good day-
Or taeyun having little silly fights with his baby, as two alphas likely would, trying to get doyun’s attention-
Since doyun doesn’t get jealous, maybe a moment where either one of them gets possessive-
Imagine doyun at the park with his son, random omegas and betas assuming he’s an alpha and trying to hit on him-
These are just at the top of my head, there’s literally SO MANY POSSIBILITES for the first couple. This was a cute story, it wrapped up nicely. The second story seems like the author wanted to write alpha x alpha but instead of a different manhwa, the couple’s fked up story is shoehorned into the first couple’s sweet and hilarious story.
7.5/10
Anybody know? Or is it fanart
It’s a fanart
WHAT?! I was about to ask what series that was. IT LOOKED GOOD.
“Hi guy whom my brother emotionally/mentally abused forever and basically kidnapped and manipulated, I know my brother did all that, but our dad was really mean to him :( so maybe cut him some slack :( and be happy :(
Fuck that whole family lol
The kind of story you read ONCE. Once is definitely enough. The brutal rapes, abuse is insane.
I’m glad that the mc and the brother found peace together by the end, but for the first 30 chapters or so the older brother had me seething. You live everyday, hearing your little brother get brutalized, you can smell his flesh burning from your father torturing him. He was a traumatized young boy too, but as he got older, he still stayed a coward. It was insane.
That’s why it was so easy to feel like the neon red flag sign “love interest” was looking out for the mc in his own twisted way- you just felt like oh, ok, random rich druggie bought a rent boy to use him for power/ or something, help him kill his perfect older brother that let their father brutalized him daily.
Then the TWIST. The fucking twist. He raised so much hell, caused so much pain, but atleast it made the older brother grow a backbone. It sucks that such an irredeemable character was the key to ending the mc and older brother’s suffering.
It was disturbing and terrible that the older brother got drugged till his health suffered. Opium addiction is HELL, especially in that era. There’s so much literature romanticizing it, love how how the author firmly shows how it deeply affected people in the 19th century.
The brother suffering from that felt like the author’s way of exacting poetic justice in a way, I’m glad we find out later that his health is better, and the author really made it clear that he isn’t mad at the MC for his involvement in that. They both have hurt each other, and they’re both victims. Both chose to forgive one another, for things that many never could.
There are so many parts that is so difficult to read, the mc being raped by his father, the older brother being gang raped to induce trauma bonding by the fucking psychopath—- honestly all of that made me hate this, but I had to see it to the end, all that suffering can’t have been for nothing.
Anyway, interesting and hellish story, 8/10. If you can stomach it, you should finish the story too, then never pick it up again.
And also for some side stories ┗( T﹏T )┛ this was a wild ride, one of the better redemption arcs I’ve ever seen in a ABO universe. would love sidestories, there’s so much the author can do- the MC discovering how beautiful life is, having goals, aspirations, dreams, their WEDDING, their baby— they deserve all of it
But I stand corrected ╥﹏╥ the hair, the aggressive smol pink & younger sassy toll one, I see it
Yaoi one shot writers be labeling their work like an AV, Love that for them ╮(￣▽￣)╭
the scream I scrumpt
