Now hold on now hang on hang on WHERE was this scene in the novel?!?!!? I DONT REMEMBER **THIS??**
This is one of the ones where I think the webtoon adaptation adds a lot compared to reading the novel. Abel is a much more… consistent feeling character, Karas feels a lot less cold-blooded (positive) and the jokes land way harder. I’m really glad, because the premise and storytelling is so unique, I feel like the artist cares about these characters a lot.
These two are so peaceful and relaxing to read. I love the pacing of this, and the emotional core, they’re so lovely.

man what the hell is going on. Everyone here is a horned up, sociopathic looney toons character. Like is there character development? I don’t know! It’s not like anyone makes motivated by anything other than the doughy, primordial gland deep within their brains that tells them to abandon all reason and chase after whatever red shiny thing shows up in front of them. The webtoon is actually so consistent about how batshit everyone is that it’s basically unlike anything else i’ve ever read. It’s like a really messed up season of gay desperate housewives. Fascinating, hope I never encounter it ever again.
It’s certainly not BAD but… I agree with the other commenters who say the character focus in this comic is all over the place. The lead pretty underdeveloped compared to the love interest, who has these deeply intricate IMMEDIATE goals that are overlapping with one another and meanwhile our guy is over here like… feeling a little bit like he’s randomly inserted himself into someone else’s business. Probably not helped by the fact that the love interest, on the surface, seems waaaay less invested in the relationship and a lot more like he’s just going along with everything.
Because of that, the chemistry just isn’t there. They don’t really have anything in common or have a dynamic, and its not like they went the opposite route and had the main character hopelessly throw himself at a disinterested guy which at least would have been more interesting, it just feels a bit soggy.
Like I said, it’s not bad, individually all the pieces are good, the arts gorgeous etc. but it’s less than the sum of its parts.

Wow talk about a train wreck. Very good read, dark themes aside. The author did a great job setting up these dominos and then driving a semi truck through them.
Nice to see a romantic horror where the male lead isn’t some kind of superpowered uber jigsaw with all the answers + is capable of making the kinds of obvious mistakes that happen when you try and control someone’s life and can’t empathise with them. Also cool to see a MC who has the capacity to recognise where his boundaries are despite the best efforts made to gaslight him, knows how to be suspicious and make obvious logical leaps. It puts them both on more even ground and that makes their conversations super interesting, especially when they realise they were never on the same page.
Something great abt this story is the ‘hey, kiss me’ moments are *less* gay than when they’re affirming their loyalty to one another as subordinate and commander. Literally everything I wanted from shonen manga + he can get pregnant.
Slow!!!! Imagine a slow burn and then take it down to 0.5 speed and you’re there. The thing about the worldbuilding in this story is that it’s SO well developed, that two high-ranking military leaders in a brand new experimental corp who are also researching ecological disaster are understandably too busy to have a fling. The author isn’t playing around in this story.
Think office romance, then put the office in the middle of a 6 lane highway where the leads have to direct traffic, and they’re both VERY horny and impressed by each others ability to not get hit by cars, but it’s not like there’s time to peel each others clothes off. Because cars.
I say that and still think this story is 100% worth it, if you think it’s good now then it only gets better, and the author threads the needle between tension and satisfaction so well that it feels like omegaverse Odyssey.
Yuder is a great character and super satisfying to watch, the ML is a great character and 100% more genuine than he comes across, and despite the novel being 750+ chapters and still going (urk), I never felt like it was a chore to read and the arcs are all super memorable and interesting.
That said, I have NO idea how they’re planning to adapt the whole thing, god bless and good luck to the art team.

Saw a couple comments from people feeling bad for Gren, and while I completely understand that he’s a tragic character and his dumpster fire of a life isn’t his fault… (without judgement) it’s very easy to tell who has had to deal with an addicted friend/relative and who hasn’t.
Gren, as he is now, is a void. He’s a very specific kind of addict, who’s been in his hole so deep for so long that his entire thought process bounces between ‘my next hit’ and easy, spontaneous ‘solutions’ for his terrible life. People in a state like this don’t want to get better, they just Want. Their vision of a rescue is myopic, where those who love them are bled dry, and they see nothing wrong with that.
Look at how easily Gren suggested that Shin live on the streets with him, how even his trip to rehab wasn’t really ‘getting clean’ until Shin told him it was that or getting out of his life. His desperate attempt to get Shin to ‘promise’ to take care of him. It’s the blind, addled selfishness of a hard addict. It’s been too long since he last thought like a ‘person’ and he’s forgotten how.
Sobering up is hard work, and Gren has never thought about it seriously, and Shins tough love might feel selfish, but it’s honestly kind of breathtaking that he’s still holding hope in his heart when he could have just cut him off. I think that’s what I like the most about this webtoon; it’s such a textured and realistic depiction on the way you become hard towards people you love when you realise they’re ready to poison you before they get clean.
It’s not a nice feeling; everyone wants to be someone who would stand by struggling family, and the choice to cut someone loose before they drag you down is brutal. Poor boys.
Not to hype this up when there’s only like 16 chapters so far but the novel is solid and I can’t wait for the webtoon to take us there.
Gentle spoilers for anyone curious and wondering if it’s worth staying invested; totally. It’s cheesy and fluffy (ha) but it’s also an air tight story. MC has been lugging around the shame of being a feeble, “useless” mouth to feed his entire life and has to unlearn the habit of making himself bigger than he actually is. ML was turned into something dangerous by the people he trusted for their own gain and has to shoulder the fear and resentment he never deserved so they can keep feeling secure, and he has to unlearn the habit of making himself smaller.
Theyre a perfect fit, super cute with each other, and totally whipped. Looking forward to this a lot.

some of y’all need the mc to look in the camera and say ‘i’m a strong independent girlboss’ and if he doesn’t then you’re like ‘sick of weak uke’. Cmon man, it’s getting there. The authors obvs building up the concept of the mc being deceptively more aware of his boundaries than his first impressions imply, he’s not a complete idiot or a pushover, hes shown that he has a line and while the ml is heading there at full speed he clearly hasn’t crossed it… YET. But with how much he forgets small details the mc tells him it won’t be long lol.
Personally, I like our boy. Yeah he’s a little cringe and frustratingly okay with being walked all over, but it seems to be… a conscious choice he’s made rather than the usual yaoi bottombrain. If anything the story’s been showing us so far that life has turned the mc into a survival machine. He never lets himself get cornered, and despite the trust he’s put in the ml, I think that tosser’s in for a real surprise when he realises the mc isn’t as wrapped around his finger as he thought.
