Is it the endgame? Likely not. Is it a non-toxic relationship? Hell no.

But since this is fiction, I want to indulge in an unintentional "I can fix him!" fantasy, lol. I like Jaewoo with Mujin, and that's that. Altho no matter what the ship is, I'll definitely continue to support and enjoy this work <3

i love everything about Gozu. EVERYTHING. His personality, looks, kinks, and every word he says when he's going at it with Eve. A character literally 100000% tailored to my tastes, in an isekai story to boot, I will never find another story that fits me like this. Ahhh <3 I want more ppl in the manga to appreciate him tbh. Just appreciate the snacc of a bottom that he is.

i'm at chapter 8 and just gotta say that I fully empathize with the MC and hate that he's treated (or made to feel like) a bad guy because of the firings. HR doesn't choose who the company fires, or when. It's his job and when he gets ordered to fire someone, like wtf is he supposed to do? Argh, never thought I'd empathise with HR but here we are!! Justice for the MC!!!

I need more of this *sob* this was so wholesome and sweet!! <3 I definitely recommend!!

So, first reaction at seeing pictures: oh wow finally a hot, older ML! More of these older guys!

And then I started reading and... ??? grooming doesn't even begin, and I'm bothered by how the grooming is just portrayed as an okay, normal thing. Like this isn't trying to be a dark manga addressing grooming, this is just a story romanticizing (granted, we've only got a handful of chapters so far) an older guy being interested in someone since they were a CHILD.

Sigh.

interesting, but a bit too early to really have an opinion. I'm loving all the finance bits though, it's so nice to get a lil bit into the details of things.

I fully agree with the commenter who said that the first part is great and deserves 5 stars, but that "once the author decided to push them to the side to focus on the second couple, the story didn't do anything for me". I felt exactly the same. I didn't dislike the second couple, it's just... I feel like there's so much more we could have still experienced with the first couple that it just felt meh. I ended up scrolling past chapters just to catch a glimpse of them while the author focused more and more on the second couple.

tldr: i wish we could have just focused on the first couple, or at least gotten a proper wrap up for them.

I know that it aint the endgame but I want lin to end up with brother xu instead of the boss. *sob* would have been SUCH a good ship! I'm a bit bored of the boss tbh, so might drop this soon anyway.

this is SUCH a perfect comfort story when you want something sweet but don't have the energy for a plot-intense angst train. I saw someone describing it perfectly in one of the comments here: this isn't really a plot-driven story, it's a slice-of-life where we get to experience Baby's love story with Johnson. It's so freaking good, and while they do have some hiccups here and there, generally their communication is great, and characterizations are great as well.

I really recommend this!!

just call me booboo the clown, but i want to believe in a fluffy season 3
