does this author have a fetish for school boys or what? just bc it’s bl and there are couples doesn’t mean you need to draw teenage boys having sex, and YES, it IS that serious. just fucking weird as hell. on top of that, to throw in that four-eyed weirdo almost raping the uke and then the uke almost raping fuji right after? how the fuck was any of that necessary. just giving rape fetish and fetish for little boys idc what anyone thinks
and the whole plot of this was trash. fuji got strung along by a guy that barely any showed any interest in him in the first place. and the author was dumb as fuck to even match up fuji with blondie. in the first story, he didn’t JUST mess up itsu’s shoes and dump water on him, he pushed itsu down the stairs which could’ve easily disabled itsu if not have killed him, and let’s not forget the final incident with the fuckass blade. bro is in high school and threatening to stab people over one-sided love, what the hell?
this was just bullshit over all. and this could’ve been a university setting just fine and the author could’ve had all the smut they wanted. it really pisses me off when they choose to make it high school and then draw these minors having sex, it’s disgusting and no, it being fiction doesn’t make it less serious
they’re cute for sure, but i’m tired of these bl authors drawing porn of high schoolers. it’s sick and very weird. yes yes it’s been going on forever, that doesn’t make it okay. and yes, teenagers have sex in real life all the time, doesn’t mean we need to see it, much less for fucking weirdos to draw it
the entire pacing of the story was off. from hyeon suddenly falling in love with ian, to their separation and finally them getting back together was all whack. it could’ve definitely been paced out well within the thirty chapter limit, but the smut was prioritised (which is also evident in the side stories). i personally think this is a unique concept and ive only come across two other bls with the fashion designer trope, so it was quite disappointing to see this, which had so much potential from ian’s background and his success to hyeon getting into fashion himself, absolutely fall flat for the sake of sex
i did think they were both really cute crackheads and i love the artsyle as well as the characters palettes. however one thing that really stuck with me is how hyeon called his dying mother an obstacle. that was so crazy to me bc wtf
those last few lines about having time to figure things out already tells me everything is gonna blow up now. i’ll be back when this is completed bc i can’t handle ongoing angst
i genuinely lost five brain cells with each chapter i read, what crack are these two on theyre both so stupid i can’t bear it LMFAO
i really wish we’d gotten side stories about the best friends though. oh and ms oh can die. does she have no self respect?? which dumbass bitch is gonna go after a married man so shamelessly, i wanted her to use that strap on on me but noooo, she just had to be a piece of shit
the sex was completely unnecessary. yes teenagers have sex, esp the couples that are head over heels in love with each other like these two. however, they are kids, MINORS, theres absolutely no need to draw them having sex like that esp when it’s drawn by a fully grown adult. i was liking the story and then we got hit with smut and i was immediately put off. urgh
girl what the fuck was that shitty ass abrupt ending?? honestly, the pacing of the entire story was pretty bullshit. giwoo liked sangjo. sangjo didnt like giwoo yet thought he was cute but was annoyed by the energy drinks. giwoo gets kidnapped and beat up by those people and gets slapped by sangjo (which was insane btw), giwoo says he hates sangjo and wants to leave. sangjo acts ‘cute’, giwoo likes him again. they get together, finished. LIKE???
i liked the plot somewhat though, like all of that backstabbing by mingyu really had me on edge but it was so drawn out and mingyu flipflopping between sangjo and taesoo was going on forever and annoying. and like for fifty chapters we didn’t have much going on, then suddenly everything needs to be packed into the last ten chapters. and i thought geon was cute too, but he was just fucking stupid
and then sangjo gets locked up for we don’t know how many years, then he comes back at the end and they have the most weird reunion? we don’t even get to see them as a proper couple with all of their secrets out, it’s incredibly disappointing for a story whose plot had sm potential. the execution was incredibly poor. ALSO GIWOO IS STUDYING TO BECOME A POLICE OFFICER BUT HES OKAY WITH DATING A THUG HELLO? and his judgment is absolutely shit, he literally trusts anyone how is my child gonna survive now that he’s actually an officer (him slipping on the romance after getting shoved doesn’t help his case either)
what a bullshit ass ending. the majority of the story was so slow and going in circles at one point, then it decides to actually pick up right at the end and then end it abruptly altogether? mc was harsh for no reason too and the ml was too overbearing. not to mention it was never revealed to the mc what happened those two years ago and we didn’t even get a single chapter of them actually together. got some poorly done, dramatic ending and a half-assed confessed. very frustrating read, don’t waste your time
this story was genuinely bullshit and written by yet another bl author who has a rape fetish. and the fact that kangwoo is worse than caesar from roses and champagne is what surprised me. not in the sense of violence bc caesar has done much worse to leewon, but in holding heewoon captive. like even caesar gave leewon more legroom which is crazy. don’t misunderstood me though, caesar is way more psycho than kangwoo though
i didn’t read the amnesia sides bc i knew it would just make me upset, so i waited until it was done so when i saw side 6: “the end” i clicked on it BUT IT WAS A LIE. and what is this bitch heesu being so pissy for?? he lost his memories, big whoop wtf is he treating saha like that for? fucking asshole treating saha like saha is the one who made heesu crash his car and lose his memories. i feel like any regular person who lost their memories and found out they had a partner would just be awkward and unsure, not angry. i mean we already knew from the main story, but this brah has one too many screws loose
i wanted to drop it within the first ten chapters, bc suho (seme) was so aggressive with his partners. sex like that is insane and he was so violent and coercive. then we meet yul (uke) and he was so annoying and mean from the start and for what??
it was genuinely so infuriating to read the first few chapters but by the time suho had fallen for yul and was being a ‘gentleman’, things were going great. then that fuckass sangwoo came in and yul was so annoying bruh. how is it that he could get jealous of suho and taejin, but he couldn’t see he was doing the same thing to suho??? and don’t get me wrong, i don’t like suho either but after they got into a relationship, he was less annoying
then after the bullshit with sangwoo, we get fucking suho coercing and raping yul?? like what was the fucking point of all of that and then he wants to regret it and cry about it after MAYBE DONT RAPE YOUR BOYFRIEND BC YOURE INSECURE AND JEALOUS???
after that we get jaehee coming back and he was SO annoying. and judging by the age of suho when jaehee left (suho was 20), it’s most likely that jaehee was a pedo preying on a teen since suho himself they’d be together for a few years and jaehee was already older than him. jaehee was just annoying asf too. like he put himself and his career and fame and money above suho, abandons him and comes back five years later just to abuse him??? IT MAKES NO SENSE
okay then at the ending was the dumbest fucking shit id ever seen. yul gets upset and acts like he’s gonna fucking die bc he saw jaehee kiss suho, MIND YOU BOTH OF THEM WERE COVERED IN BLOOD AND SUHO HAD A BROKEN ARM YOU COULD CLEARLY TELL HE WAS AT A DISADVANTAGE, and yul literally sees suho hit jaehee WITH HIS BROKEN ARM TOO and runs after yul but yul wants to act like an idiot. MIND YOU, sangwoo literally kissed yul not too long ago and he never even told suho. so according to yul, other men can force a kiss on him but when it happens to suho, then he’s obviously cheating?? what fucking sense is that
OH AND ALSO, i think it was in chapter 58 where yul said suho had told him “i love you” for the first time, BUT IT WASNT. suho used it in text messages before AND in one of the chapters when suho broke his arm and yul was taking care of him, they were having sex, and suho was behind yul and said it to him.
don’t even get me started on the side couple with that idiot minjae always making moves on a drunk, unconscious person urgh
also the art at the start was ICK. i read this whole thing out of boredom and interest, but it was genuinely such a waste of time. if you’ve made it this far into my rant, please don’t waste your time. the only people worth reading this for is suho’s brother and yul’s family friend and they don’t even show up that much either
i need to crack this guy’s head open like a coconut and rewire his brain
but mugo and elder mugo are the oldest 21/20 year olds i’ve ever seen in a manhwa thus far
yes yes, i know it’s an au blah blah blah, i just thought it’s funny that they aged them down significantly but kept the exact same character design and didn’t try to make them appear younger at all
they’re not that bad, i’d put mugo at 26+ and it’s elder mugo’s glasses that make him look so ancient. monster mugo is a cutie as always
yeah he probably blew up like that bc he feels betrayed or smth about how he liked jiwon first blah blah blah blah but time and place bruh? we all know he’s not homophobic, but way to make everything about you thats so irritating. he needs to learn how to read the fucking room
i love them so bad ohmygoodness
but with the amount of misunderstandings and stupidity, i wanted to take both seong-ah and woo-yeol’s heads and crack them in half like a coconut, and then take my head off my body and slam it against the wall like a basketball
genuinely, 100 chapters of this was exhausting (not in a bad way) at every corner was another plot twist or something gone wrong, i was so anxious LIKE JUST GIVE THEM THEIR HAPPY ENDING ALREADY
my only critiques would be:
1. the rape HELLO??? was all of that necessary?? and it went completely ignored after and they all just accepted daewoo like nothing. wow, yet another author with a rape fetish as we don’t have enough of them already. so disgusting
2. the parents moving in with them in the same house. bro wheres the privacy. yes i understand their kid has been missing for 15 long years, but come on, him and his husband deserve some privacy too. ik it wasn’t the parent’s decision, it was woo-yeol’s but the author hello? you could’ve chosen another route
wish there was more of a chasing arc ngl
kei just hated hiro from the jump, and even when hiro would give kei space, kei was the one to make the first move like calling him cute, doing whatever the hell that was in the cave, jumping hiro when he was drunk etc and all the while he was angry at hiro and for what?? like if you don’t like the guy and if he was being pushy and forceful, i completely get it like screw hiro but hiro didn’t even do anything except have a crush
