Seeing those red panels is giving me hope Jo will use that gun in protecting Ian one day, without guilt tripping, and to see what's he's fully capable of doing for the one he's in love with. We don't know much about him, so seeing him, a regular guy, development into this different life will be intriguing.
I too want to know what Ian really wanted to check. Ian is getting all these new emotions (?) and doing things he hasn't done before, like camping and having roasted marshmallows for the first time, which goes with how he related his experience with Jo feeling like it's his first time. It's all new to him (again?). I'm curious how their relationship is going to develop more once their feeling/attachment gets more strong.
[because we don't how it will lead it could either positive or negative of obsessive love.]
the meaning that the author was trying to convey was profound, but the presentation was piss poor
Have never been so happy over a story to end. I still don't understand why it took so long, my hate for Jooin kept growing each chapter.
And one last time for the record: Team Cain, he was treated so bad, but don't ya'll worry, that cute puppy is with me now and I'll give him the love he deserves.
i don’t know how to explain it, but i think the reasoning why the ending felt like it lackluster was because Jooin gave really good advice to Cain but never applied it to himself???
I liked this series because it was one of those polarizing series where people like to take sides which team they belong to (cain or yahwi). I just think the author spent too much time on the love triangle and adding weird and unnecasry back stories (yahwi’s sad childhood, cain’s reincarnation side story) that didn’t relaly matter to the overall narrative.
I kinda get where the author is going with jooin’s excessive internal monologues but it kinda feels excessive because it was not properly built up from the start. Also, I think the author could have really used time and distance of Jooin and Yahwi more effectively in order to really show how both of them has changed for the better.
Instead we get this awkward ending with an out of character jooin and yahwi which doesn’t seem sweet at all but awkward and forced.
Anyway, I still liked reading this tho since it is entertaining lol
We're finally here y'all. It's over. Did I enjoy it? At the end of the day, all I can say is: Eh... Not really. It was extremely drawn out, and kind of a mess (meaning the storyline itself/the writing). I see A LOT of arguing about love triangles in the comments, mostly people saying if you don't like this story, then you don't like love triangles. That's not even CLOSE! I've read more love triangle plots than I care to admit. There's a right way and a wrong way to build a plot, and this story ultimately failed to come together. Cain's storyline about reincarnation was SO misplaced here. It would have made more sense if Yahwi also had his own reincarnation substory involving Jooin to combat Cain's. Instead it feels like a bunch of random ideas the author had, then got thrown together to try and create a story. Now that being said, is this the worst thing I've ever read? No. Will I read anything else by this author again? Depends, tbh.
You know what amazes me. That fact that Cain got all the symbolism to the seasons, Jooin still refers him to spring and yet he's the 2nd ML, good for him I believe he deserves better but they really gave all that to a 2nd ML while the ML only got a whole pity paty story. You think they would've given something more meaningful.
Anyway can't say I hated the story there were moment I did like. But this story won't have fond memories with me like other stories I read.
The realistic backgrounds are so funny they're good. I seen Cain stans make edits with Cain visiting their country. Team Cain are having a blast with this chapter. My favorite one is with the zebras he looks so silly and happy that he was able to step out of the webtoon for a his travels good for you Cain.
Cain showing us he's still the only one with wise and poetic words. Cain my dear darling, you are the eternal spring. No one else, only you. I just wish his healing story was only about him.
Hope next chapter will be about them building their relationship outside of the sexual element because that's literally what their whole relationship is. We never saw them communicating nor going on dates to build upon their relationship, it was always sex whenever yahwi wanted (this time it was finally Jooin ig that's a "development"). It's just so boring when it's just plain sex with no proper bonding/connecting. I can see why others are not satisfied with the development of their relationship and say that these two going straight to it is unnecessary [in that moment], because Jooin never saw yahwi "change"
Love triangles will always have a timeskip and one thing I dislike, that they do often, is rather than seeing them communicate their differences from the past and talk about how their lifes are now, to get some bonding and romantic build up, they always go straight to explicitly, like take dude out for dinner or go for a walk hand in hand. Build the chemistry we didn't see them have before, give us the 10%
Pacing wise, I think the make-up sex (i assume will happen next chapter) should've been saved in the side story rather than main, chapter 100 was perfect to end the main story since that's where the main story ended, Jooin meeting the one he wants and confessing. The sex will just drag out the main story but won't feel or be drag out in the side story as its the aftermath of the main story and you can see their domestic life.
I see others say "what's to continue" and I agree, the main ended. Continue to the side story instead and others would understand and not question what's to continue and most would drop it there instead of coming back to 'see how it ends'. Oh and I think Cain epilogue should've happen after 98 THEN to endgame, I mean it would've kept ppl on their toes if it did happen lol
But I think ik why the author did it this way though...
Look, I love Cain character but, even as a love triangle, his part feels like it's randomly thrown in for fun rather than plot to the main character. The reincarnation had no value if you think about it now. And what even was the point of them sharing the same damn birthday?? Just felt like needless work for the author to give themselves.
Cain deserves better than having his own story become irrelevant.
Seeing too much fights. So Cain stans let's start a discussion. Since the writer confirm on their askform that Cain story will happen. What is the predictions you have that will happen?
Don't like how they wrote the slap to become equivalent to what yahwi did to Jooin. When back in 72 yahwi force Jooin to slap him as a way to make Jooin feel better and Jooin pull back saying "you seriously think that would work" and now it looks like yea, that seriously worked. It feels like they're contradicting Jooin own words. Taking back everything Jooin build for himself.
That's it? No build on their relationship just straight to explicitly? *slams phone to ground & jumps on skateboard* I wanted to see them at least repair the relationship first to make sense of it.
Since I did see others ask and want side stories. The creator's just confirm on their askform that there is indeed CAIN chapter's left. Idk if it's in main story or side but there are chapters. Now yall can take a break from worrying if he's not gonna get them.
Jooin, my boy, you saw him cry once and cave in like that? You didn't even see or witness his change. Last time you saw him, you said you were hurt by everything It gave me a HURHHH moment
