Normally I can struggle through even the boring webtoons and manga. This one is just too annoying. I've stopped after chapter 37. I agree with the rest that Chase is annoying. Joel is a crap father on top of that. Age is just a number only applies when both partners are physically, mentally, AND emotionally fully developed. Just by the way he acts you can tell that Chase isn't. Also for everyone saying it's no big deal I'm sure most of you are under 30 so of course it's not weird to you. Not until one of your parents date someone your age or younger. I've been there. My Dad dated a girl three years younger than me. She was immature and flighty. He was in it for the sex. He was 54 and she was 22. They had nothing in common. Once people hit their later 20's a 20-30 year age gap isn't as bad because you are both typically fully developed on all levels. I can normally ignore the age difference because it's just a story and they are of legal age. However Chase IS SO ANNOYING. If he had a better personality and Joel wasn't such an oblivious idiot then I could keep reading and would probably even enjoy it. Their personalities quite literally have ruined the story for me.
Trigger warning for this chapter. Unsafe bdsm practice. Non-consensual sex (yes it is non-consensual if they say no even if later they get into it.) Also the seme lies about wearing a condom to the uke. The first time they have sex several chapters before there is also some slight non-con mostly related around them not having a condom and the uke not wanting to have sex without one. It's a webtoon/yaoi so I'm taking with a grain of salt but I know that these themes can be triggering for some people.
I'm not sure if I'll comment on any other problematic behavior. I will give out this reminder that in the bdsm community that SAFE, SANE, and CONSENSUAL are of the utmost importance. Remember what you read is fantasy not reality.
I gave it five stars because I laughed a lot and I did enjoy it. I do agree with the others that through most of the story I found the prez to be annoying and not very believable with his affection. However near the end it does pull together and their lovey moments help with all of that. Sekyun and the seme would have been a nice match but it wouldn't have fit with the story line. I actually hoped for it to end up with all three of them together since that made the most sense. The extras with him getting his own boyfriend felt cheap. Yes there seemed to be some attraction between the two but his need to be sadistic and play with others feelings came back out and it made the whole thing feel off. Again I did enjoy the humor and overall it was pretty light and fluffy. (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
I think the people that don't understand it or find it too muddled or philosophical don't get the nuances of the story. There is a rich back story that is slowly exposed throughout everything. The relationships between not just the humans, kin, and vampires but even the vampires themselves are complex and based on societal rules from hundreds of years ago.
There is a lot of layering to the story. Each thing that Min Hoon does is actually thought out. He acts like he's winging it but after he learns how the vampires world works he actually crafts a very elaborate plan to back the head of house into a corner. He coordinates everything flawlessly and even handles issues when he's thrown a curve ball. When he told Edric not to die he wasn't saying that because the situation was dangerous in general, he was saying it because he sent him there to provoke the old guard vampires. The pretense was sending him as an envoy but truthfully it was to find out who were completely against Min Hoon. Even when his friend becomes kin he's still a pawn for Min Hoon to move about the board. The story is a true piece of art in storytelling if you can understand all the references.
Is it just me or is He Tian leveling up in the seduction department? Before it was always with a touch of joking but now he's just going full romance and seduction. Don't get me started on the other two idiots either. They are killing me with all the sly hints and flirting.(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
