has anyone read the novel? It's only been translated (from what I can find in English up to like ch. 28/29, but it's like done in Korean and over 100+ chapters. can anyone spoil the whole story for me pls I just want to know all the deets.
the language used here can be a bit archaic and stiff, I've never really seen it used so much in a historical BL before. but I'm trying to learn Korean through raws so I get how hard it can be to make sense of language that even a native speaker might have difficulty with. If anyone needs any help understanding just lemme know. Happy to help.
I'm not fluent in english so it's kinda hard for me but i love it because i can learn more and it's interesting to see a knew form of this language
We took literature in high-school and before that I was an avid reader of classical stories. Thankfully decades of exposure to this sort of writing style makes this webtoon a breeze to read and understand. I love it actually! Wish more period stories would do this, it makes the experience more immersive.
Does the korean used also sound old timey?
ooh this is a good question! i'd like to know too
does anyone know if this is based on a webnovel?? annnnnnnd if it is can you share the love?
PREACHHH
It's an original work, not adapting from a novel.
we're thinking alien, right?
I think more like cat/tiger/etc because his eyes were very feline like and that Little part where he was sitting and had cat ears.
Sounds more demon than anything. Considering his sclera was changing to black and he could grant wishes/desires for a price, I'm inclined to think demon. Trading oneself for your greatest wish/desire is very typical of a demon. He also said he doesn't have "human" form, so that just goes towards the demon aspect.
I thought he had very feline eyes too but I completely ignored the cat ear bit, so many webcomics make the characters cute like that at times. usually like a dog wagging it's tail tho. this makes more sense than an alien lol
ah right i forgot abt the wishes thing. i think I was kinda stuck on the alien thing because he seems so detached? maybe BL demon stuff has predisposed me to think that the ML should be more overtly aggressive (like that door webtoon.)
Ah. I see what you mean. I kind of like the fact that he's stoic but so obviously obsessed with the uke. It feels more as though he is flushing out feeling for the first time (emotionally). As though he was just kind of existing and doing his thing as per what he was but shut off. Going through the motions until something or someone woke him up. There aren't many BL out there with traditional demons. They're all oni, or spirits or gods. This is an interesting change. Have you read "Dance With The Devil"?
it is such an unusual change but also we're reading and talking abt it so I think it's working lol. can't wait to find out more. so I checked out that comic and immediately rejected it because I hated the art, reevaluated, and decided to place some trust in you an internet stranger (very dangerous) and it is so clever and fun and not really sexy but it's just so inerestingly written that I have chosen to ignore the lack of pretty.

You don't like the artwork? I think it's very pretty. What kind of manga do you like the artwork for?
ohh.. mmm like Return of the Flowery Mountain Sect, Dangerous Convenience Store, Mad Dog, Eleceed, Painter of the Night, etc. Not sure if there is like a set type in here or not, but this kinda art is ideal for me
I love Dangerous Convenience store and Painter of the Night. I'm surprised you don't like this one considering it's like an in between of those two. Have you read A Pushover's Romance? Very different art style I'd never seen. Very pretty.
if it makes sense, and this is like the classic INTX introvert x ENFX extrovert magnetic draw here. and it's been slow, and natural. they themselves probs don't even know how they feel. and more importantly it doesn't mess up the plot or become plot points itself. just the sorta casual peppering of feels over almost 300 ch. i can accept
