Started off with interesting characters and story but there was zero need for the sa of joon. And on top of that the story doesn’t take it seriously whatsoever. Pretty disappointing and also making joon the victim make a joke about how he used to be an incubus aka do the same makes this somehow worse than a lot of other bls to me. Might read on but the story is pretty dead to me now.
So I for one liked their dynamic so far, I don’t mind asshole characters and since the MC is fun to watch and never seems to realize what an asshole the guy is in had a great time. Howeverrr there is a limit to writing a character to be an asshole while still having a personality. Now the ML is just a an insane dick to an unreasonable degree, not taking the MC clearly being exhausted or mentally drained not seriously was sad to see but the whole assaulting him while the Mc is out drunk is just unnecessary, does not add to the story and in my opinion does not fit with how the ml was being portrayed so far. It annoys me because it was just put in for the fun of it?? Or what?
Leo:
-seems to be the one that was more active in the relationship aka approaching JJ and staying with him
-is demanding
-is spoiled
-seems to act promiscuous but we haven’t seen him actually cheat or anything close to it
JJ
-very passive
-doesn’t communicate with his partner
-leaves his team mid season because of personal reasons
-breaks up with Leo without explaining him why
-rapes him
Ah yes JJs behavior seems very balanced and fair for what Leo did???? (Sorry but none of this story explains why JJ is acting like such a dick towards his ex so far)
Yeah but the thing is Leo didn't know that Jj was feeling miserable... Because he didn't say anything to him, he just obeyed and obeyed, how would Leo find out that he doesn't like it if he doesn't say anything about it and instead just bottle it all up and collect it until he explodes and break up without giving him a reason, and to be honest with you, even if what you say is true, all my sympathy for him kinda disappeared the moment he raped Leo
I read all chapters in one go and I am pretty disappointed with this. I liked the starting point a lot and saw a lot of potential but it went down the drain pretty fast. I liked the Mc with his kink and that he had consensual loose relationships because of it. But it just became a rape fest soon after. The „ml“ is just dragging him around and everything something traumatic happens it is somewhat acknowledged and then forgotten/ glossed over immediately. The artstyle carries this hard because the story is weak and honestly a mess.
Ok I know this might sound awful and I do not want spoilers below but it would be such a great ending if the crown prince gets killed and our mc is convinced he did the right thing. Then he goes into the bed chamber and sees the painting that reveals the thruth that the prince was little pearl all along.
I think it would make the ending very bittersweet (I do hope for a good ending but I do not believe that it will happen)
So his thought process is „I will make him stay away from me because I am the same person as the people who made his life hell so might as well add to the trauma and sa him“
But I’m pretty sure as soon as our mc found out he wanted to stay away from him, this is so unnecessary and as others have said seems like a weird addition from the author. Idk why they felt the need to add this because this really destroys the story for me. Up until now I thought that ml might be some undercover cop trying to infiltrate the network but with this I hope this is not the case, because that would make it even worse. Idk how the author is going to resolve this.
I don’t really know how to put it but something about reading this just makes me incredibly sad. Their dynamic and the idea of losing yourself are really well portray and while they are really sweet I think it’s so tragic. Like both of them are drifting away from who they used to be and there is so far no end in sight for it. Now hitomi got the same “illness” and I’m am curious how this whole story gets resolved by the end of it.
Also but thanks to the translator!
Besides the „we actually met xx years ago“ trope being super overdone, it would be nice to get some more information about it. Did Dominic just get his memories back and that’s why he remembers the Mc? Because I can live with that. But if he remembered him from the start then that will devalue the story by a lot for me. Because that means the guy was like „oh shit I met him as a child and since I am now a college jock I might as well hit that“…………….
Somewhat interesting so far but not sure why the ml couldn’t be college aged. Even with a year held back it just feels icky for him to still be in high school
He’s 21….. Koreans graduate highschool at 20, so by being a year older he’s legally 21
Oops I mean Koreans enter college at 20, (19 for international age) so ml is 21 (20 for international age) and mc is probably 23, usually ppl go to military after their 1st year of college
