Errrr........somehow it feels like the author was writing whatever that came to mind as the story went? I mean i know the setting of the story is supernatural, so weird stuffs are bound to happen but i can't help but feel like the characters here never behaved in a logical way? Like they just did things for the heck of it, and the reason of their behavior was explained in the most half-hearted, unconvincing way. Here are some examples:
1. Yashiro just "died". He had a great relationship with his parents and friends so logically, he should have been at the very least curious about what happened to those people after his "death". But nope, he just jumped into his new body without even a hint of uneasiness or sadness about having to leave his loving family and friends. I even thought that he was an orphan or something with how nonchalant he was about the whole thing like?? He then explained that he was just trying not to think about it because he was afraid to confront what was really happening -- but there was never ANY indication of that. He was completely fine and goofing off 100%, so him saying that he had been too scared to think about his "death" was just unbelievable.
2. Yashiro finally got to be together with Kenta after going through so much hardship. Imagine it: he'd been in unrequited love for quite some time, went to a shrine for 100 consecutive days to pray for his love's success, confessed and got rejected, and "died" right after. He then had to live as a girl and win Kenta's love in order to get back to his original body. And now, after his love was finally mutual, what did he do the moment an ex-girlfriend he hadn't seen for a while showed up? He WAS PREPARED TO MARRY HER. Dude was literally like, ok my relationship with Kenta will stay platonic forever anyways, so it's fine if i marry my ex. Like what the actual FUCK was that. And that plot came out of nowhere and got resolved so fast too, like damn, there should have been other ways, more believable ways, to trigger the shift in Yashiro's and Kenta's relationship from platonic to romantic. If you're a good writer, that is.
3. What's up with Yashiro's mom being a lesbian this whole time? There is NO build up to that. Zilch. Literally none. We'd never even seen the moms in any meaningful scene before that. And the God being Yashiro's ancestor? Again, the plot came and went away in just one chapter. The implication of queerness being a "trait" that passed down generations to generations also felt like literal talking out of an ass like what do you mean that family was Destined to be tragically gay??? It didn't make sense, it was stupid, and i hated it.
And many more.
Idk. I really want to like this manga because it does have some good points but i just can't.
The "gay lineage" broke me up too
Fr that came out of nowhere we were like 5 pages before the ending and BAM ancestrial gay!
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaaaa pls kill me now i literally care for NOTHING except this manhwa
Oh mannn finished re-reading this (for the MILLIONTH time) and just realized the author's comment of them being reversible couple?? Heck that made me a thousand more in love with this manga! All hail switch (and old!!) couple!
It's fun and hilarious (thanks to the scanlation team for the SUPERB job) but i've read the raws up to chapter 21 and i think it focuses too much on the game play...? Like i get that it's about gaming, but there are like 6 or 7 consecutive chapters that are exclusively about in-game stuffs and little to no real life scenes and i'm getting bored. I guess i'll have to wait until the story moves on further.....cus dgmw, i love seeing the chibis but i'm here for the MCs, not their avatars....... sobs.
Yeah it kinda dragged too much
right. the writer mustve been a huge gamer lmfao
They said the novel is even more heavy on the gaming stuff. Probs based in actual game anyways and the writer is a fan of it.
Glad to be able to read an omegaverse story without having to worry about rape, degradation, and other digusting tropes. It's pretty wholesome and i really like Gain as a character, though I can't say the same about Hyeonoh. I had hoped that Hyeonoh would become more mature, especially after becoming a parent--because Gain had done and sacrificed a LOT for their relationship, but Hyeonoh was just....cute.There was no notable difference between him in the first chapter and the last. It felt unbalanced, and i'm not saying that people have to give exactly the same amount of effort in a relationship, but Gain had grown so much as a character, and i couldn't see Hyeonoh as someone worthy of that growth. Just my opinion though. Still a decent read if you like omegaverse but hate rapey tropes.
I totally agree! Have you read Meppou Yatara to Yowaki ni Kiss? It starts out rocky but may actually be the greatest omegaverse story here. I’m not even a fan of the genre but it’s top tier writing. There’s an age gap you’ll have to scrub out of your brain though, so be warned.
I have, but i dropped it right away because the age gap was just rly hard for me to ignore :(
There’s no arguing that. The age gap is addressed by both parties several times, so at least it’s not ignored or treated as non-problematic. I’m an advocate for everyone giving it another chance! It’s sooooooo good.
Still, for me there are things that i can't forgive when reading something, no matter how good it is ^^;; and relationship between a minor and an adult is one of them. Thanks for the recs though!
No rape but the first sex scene definitely bordered on it, dubcon atleast
Oh helllllll i actually enjoyed this a lot. The relationship was toxic in a sense that one of the person involved had a toxic personality, but so far there was nothing that made me want to run up the hills and stop reading (the bar is hella low, but i'm praying that there won't be anything worse than what i've read!!!). Despite the somewhat dysfunctional nature of the relationship, the two MCs' chemistry was off the charts, the banter and the TENSION between them were written incredibly well it actually took my breath away, every time they touched i just wanted to fling myself against the wall and i couldn't get my fingers to stop scrolling too fast because of how excited i was.
Anyway, it's been SUPER long since i was This into a BL manhwa, i hope it doesn't disappoint.
First of all, holy crap is that toji??? Second of all, i LOVE this so much like manly muscley men being sweet shy and affectionate with each other is my bread and butter.........and the baby is so adorable!!!! crossing my fingers to hell and back that this won't turn problematic--I'M LITERALLY BEGGING YOU YAOI GODS let this stay filled with green flags until the end pls don't turn this into the noncon galore BL manhwas usually are
Dw this author is pretty good keeping their stories free from Yaoi tropes ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
If you haven’t read their previous series I 100% recommend it and it’s been completed too <3
Oops forgot to add the actual name of the series I was talking about “unromantic”
Day 2827282 of trying to get isekai'ed to this manhwa
It would be awesome if you don't die first
If anyone starts barking about who's the top and bottom...... it's ON SIGHT.
no fr those arguments are so weird
not really
