It was very predictable trough and trough, but it still realised most events in an ok manner. I liked the setting and theme, but something about their interactions felt like it was missing (and I'm not talking yaoi material, lol.)
She definitely lacked some tact in how she re-introduced herself in his life again, that's for sure (in how she left him, too, seeing as he has such a bad memory of it). Actually it felt like quite a discrepancy to reality and the world and how it's built. I mean, who does that, really?
Even so, there could still be a valid reason as to why she wasn't able to care for him back then. Anything between poverty/in debt and mental illness, really. And so, it shouldn't be all that weird that they could get together again - if both parties agrees, of course. They probably will come to a better understanding soon.
Quite relatable. The thing is, the parents really do feel that they're doing what's best for him. It's a common thing when status is such a prevalent factor in society.
You're expected to be happy (at least outwards) in a heterosexual relationship, eventually create a family and have a stable income with a decent job.
But we all know there's so much more to life than this. So much more to what a human can be, do and FEEL.
Hopefully this served as a wake-up call, and the parents start to rethink what's really important.
Do they really think they are doing what's best for him. Not standing up for their own child, sure makes Yuyang feel as if he's being supported. Them not speaking out for when he got bullied and not accepting the way he dresses up sure is giving him a positive mind set while hes growing up. His parents are just being complete cowards
All you said is true, and my comment says nothing against that, either. However, my point stands. They still FEEL and THINK that they're doing what's best for him, because they're conditioned to behave and think a certain way from society and their own upbringing, just like I described.
Change is uncomfortable and confusing. It takes time to build up enough courage to start seeing things for what they are. Furthermore, love is never really unconditional. As far as they are concerned, their son isn't living up to their expectations. So, all that they can do is to alter those expectations, if they feel that their love is stronger than their ideals, and want to keep him in their lives (which hopefully they do).
But yes, it is frustrating to witness, especially considering how common this neglect is in reality.
The pacing of this story is quite refreshing from other yaoi. It doesn't feel forced, even though it cuts to the chase.
Character-wise it's also refreshing. There's proper layering and mystery. Helen isn't that mega-bitch just for the sake of being a bitch either, she feels more as an actual person.
Also the art is very good. I like this!
Ok, I'm a little confused by the translation, and even more by this turn of events. The twist came so suddenly! :o
Yeahhh sorry for the really sloppy translations. School's getting to me lmao
Oh, don't be sorry. I suggest you take your time. To be completely honest, quality is more important than fast uploads. I'm very grateful for what you do, but don't let it get in the way of your everyday life :)
Didn't really feel like this needed much continuation, but at the same time I feel that there could probably be more to tell. So in the end, why not, I guess.
I don't really get the leader's grudge or intentions. Why is he doing all this? It all seems a little too forced.
I do like that the masses didn't just typically fall into a blind rage, though. It's so boring when that happens.
He's afraid that he's daughter might get since his daughter and Da jeong work in the same place. So he doesn't take any risks is what I think.
That was the most I've laughed in a while with this series. Oh, Tattletale, my boy.
out of all the usernames to choose from.....you pick slipmaskin...(￣∇￣")
TALK SHIT GET HIT
┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Yours is STAR. HAPPY. STARHAPPY. C'mon xD
better than slipmaskin though, if you had used grinding machine instead it would have at least been funnier ╮(￣▽￣)╭
It's a nostalgia thing, ok? Get off my dick!
get off your dick huh? ( ° ʖ °)
ROUND 2 *ding ding ding*
GHAAAAA STARHAPPYYYYY AAAAARGH YOU MAKE ME SO MAAAADDDD
awww love how cute you are when you're mad <3 (▰˘◡˘▰)*BIG SWOON* ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
Wh- who are you calling cute!!! ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ I'll slap you on the wrist! Y- you'll regret this!
ooooh so you're into that kinda stuff too huh? (▰˘◡˘▰)
I'm into your mom!
i am enjoying this conversation way too much!
tbh, she is a very good looking mom who takes care of herself despite turning 53 in a week, so if you were to actually see her i wouldnt be surprised if you did actually get into her (≧∀≦) (had actually slipped my mind that its her birthday in a week so your mom comment was perfect timing xD)
Good, give me her number. You'll become my stepchild, and so I can rule over you!
lol no thanks, im not really into the whole daddy kink thing ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Well what about the mommy kink thing!?
i dont have a mommy kink, i just said that she is a good looking mom and i wouldnt be surprised if you did get into her if you were to see her xD
Aaagh, man, you ruined it. Since you implied the daddy kink thing towards me, I corrected you, implying I'm a girl (your second mommy!) lolo
hahahaha because of your username and profile picture i was sure you were a guy but was a bit confused because there were so many yaois in your bookmarks xDD
Haha, you assume so much, dear child!
can you really blame me tho? xD you are using a very "interesting" reigen picture as your profil pic and you dont really think "oh thats definitely a girl" when seeing slipmaskin xD
Breaking norms and gender roles since 1991!
YOU QUESTION THE MIGHTY REIGEN!?
AT THE VERY LEAST USE A PICTURE OF REIGEN CROSSDRESSING ლ(´Д`ლ)
Could just be because it's been a while since I last read this, but seriously, I can't tell the side-characters apart from each other at all. They even have info-pages about them, but I still have no idea whom is whom, and who is whose friend and so on.
Kaji is really the only character that stands out to me, and that I like. The rest are pretty average. It's quite an alright story, though, if a bit confusing at times (can be the translation, too, I don't know, but sometimes I have no friggin idea what is going on.)
I like the uncertainty of it, it's not just "Oh, I like you too! Now we're together and happy forever. The end."
