i couldn’t find any english translations past side story 17, but basically jeong-yoon slaps chaeheon who gets so incredibly turned on. he jerks off twice from that alone and they have closet sex - i’m assuming they cleared up the misunderstanding. it’s so funny that chaehon was jerking off with the memory of jeong-yoon slapping him, pls that freak
re-reading this and i can always agree that it’s such a beautiful and twisted story, but it always upsets me how yeojin will never be in contact with his son again unless seojin initiates, and the fact that mun-hyeok disappeared from his siblings lives. the kids look to be teenagers now, so it’s only a couple more years before they hit their twenties and i know bwat won’t write a story, but i really do wish for one between seojin and mun-hyeok’s brother - besides seeing them happily together, i would also like to see yeojin and mun-hyeok reconnecting with their families and hoping to see mo-ran taking on a happier, peaceful life with a wife
i’m glad they solved their issues and baek realised how silly he was being - it was their pre anniversary evening, not the actual anniversary, so it was iffy how upset he got - and it’s understandable how hyunsoo was preoccupied with thoughts of his mother, but that was also shitty of him to forget their anniversary. as long as they communicated and worked everything out though. theyre stupid, but theyre my babies
bro, the main story was absolute dogshit. top is an abusive rapist, and it took them just over two full seasons to discover the truth and all of the conflict was so unnecessary too.
the side couple is waaay more interesting and their limited time in the side story was miles better than anything in the main story. even that little tense moment charged with chemistry in the last chapter in the main story was more interesting than any moment between the main couple.
side couple deserve their own story, they have so much potential and amazing tropes to fill a full story - the longing in between, the excuses by brown hair to talk to blondie bc of the mc, jealousy arcs, problems with sihoon and blondie when sihoon gets released bc he felt betrayed, like theres SO MUCH that can be done with the side couple and better yet, theyre 100% consensual too!!! bruh main couple is so ass, i’m just so annoyed that it was a long 79 chapters when it could’ve easily been condensed into 40 max. side couple supremacy or whatever
freak4freak, delusional and obsessed with each other, im glad they have each other
this was such a well done story, with so many intricate plot points and backstories that from the main four, it makes it difficult to hate anyone bc they’ve all been abused. i’m not sure how to feel about the ending bc i really wanted to see the chairman suffering, but he IS suffering - jungwoo paralysed an already dying man, but i just wish the story was maybe another 10-15 chapters longer so we could actually see panels of the chairman suffering like in miscreants and mayhem/open board, you know. and i’m so glad they didnt show the chairman actually doing anything to minjae or jungwoo bc the implications already made me want to throw up, i don’t think i would’ve been able to handle seeing it. i read stories like this all the time, but idk the way the author and artist portrayed it in this one was just so impactful to me. and i wish we could’ve seen something bad happen to all of those people that raped and drugged minjae, and i wonder what happened between mr yoon and taeyoung. and did mr yoon know what the chairman was doing to his kids?
idk but i just hope all four of them are happy and find peace. i wish we could get side stories where it’s just fluff and happiness for both couples, bc the entire main story was just so tense and miserable
the whole thing was just porn with overexaggerated conflicts and unanswered questions like what about that guy who was forcefully pursuing gunjoon and that black car waiting for him? what about the side couple? man it was just so irritating - mc has these ideals and too strict rules at the start for no reason and then goes batshit crazy at everything and the coercive sex at the start ew. and for the majority of this they just couldn’t communicate. ml is strange bc of his upbringing but if mc has been in at least 3 relationships, wouldn’t he know how to act in a relationship? then again, i’m expecting too much from someone who dumped his last few bfs through text, then blocked them idk, the whole thing was just odd and the ending was so dumb. they seem like one of those couples who won’t last that long, like they barely have a connection outside of sex
oh also, mc is such a shitty friend man. hes one of those people who get into a relationship and ditch their friends immediately. whenever he was with the friend group, he was never mentally or emotionally present and he was only close with doyoon bc of the smoking area.
i don’t expect every story i read to have some intricate, mind blowing plot - i enjoy plain, fluffy romance, but this was such a one dimensional story with the most boring characters and we don’t even know anything about them except that they fuck like rabbits
idc if this is how the government would’ve handled this in reality, it’s a fucking gay FICTIONAL story about zombies and a time loop - NOTHING ABOUT THIS STORY IS REALISTIC it baffles me why the author would build up such an amazing and unique story just to destroy it with a confusing and extremely unsatisfying ending
youngwon’s bday is on christmas eve, but the infection/time loop/actual plot started on christmas morning and at the end was youngwon’s 26th birthday - so that means they were in the hospital for a year?? i understand why hohyun would be there since they would constantly exploit him and take his blood, but it doesn’t make sense for him to be a patient nor does it make sense for youngwon to still be there a patient. sure he could still be going for checks up + physical therapy for the bullet wound, but certainly not a patient.
and youngwon’s an art student, why would have he of all people been tampering with the equipment in the biology lab?? it wasn’t even shown in the story that he went there - like its possible to believe that maybe he went to see a friend or smth and tinkered with the equipment, but it not been explicitly shown makes it even less plausible to see
i wonder if the author is just a weirdo and thought “hmm, what’s the worst ending i could possibly write?” or maybe they thought if they gave the story a bad ending, it would garner a lot of attention, regardless of whether it was good or not
i’m happy that youngwon and hohyun are together, but everything is just so futile and unresolved that even them being together doesn’t feel like much bc reading the story makes you feel so empty. i’ve been waiting for this to be completed for two years now i think and it was such a waste man. like it was honestly such a good story but that shitty ending makes the 66 chapters useless
i think it would be very easy for jinwoo to kill guwon. we see how explicitly guwon trusts jinwoo, so i think if jinwoo were to keep a knife or gun by his bedside table, and lure guwon to his bed with sex, it would be feasible. if guwon were to question him about the sudden appearance of the weapon, jinwoo could always lie that he feels unsafe now since the hounds are around + the rule that they have to keep their doors unlocked, and guwon wouldn’t care too much in that moment. however, there are two issues with him dying:
1. the town would fall into chaos. suddenly without a leader and finally being able to access as much resources they need and do whatever they want, i feel like they could possibly bring in more people than able to handle, and they would finish everything. or they don’t bring anyone new in, and they still finish what stock is left bc they won’t have someone limiting them
2. more importantly, the hounds lose their minds. it’s been said before that the hounds have blind faith in guwon or smth along those lines, and if guwon were to die, i believe the townspeople would meet a gruesome end. tbh, the townspeople do need the hounds and guwon to survive so i think the hounds would just massacre everyone and take whatever supplies are left over. maybe they’d stay in the town for a bit, but ultimately they’d leave and the hounds can hunt and fend for themselves so survival in any way wouldn’t be an issue to them
buuuttttt, considering guwon’s freakish inhumane appearance and behaviour, i don’t think he’s 100% behaviour. while he can experience emotions and succumb to stress (i.e. the time when he passed out after killing woojun’s dad) i don’t think he can actually be killed. so i think even if jinwoo manages to stab or shoot guwon, guwon will feel the emotional and physical pain, but nothing further. and he’ll definitely be hurt, so maybe he’ll lock jinwoo away idk and that’s how it ends - guwon and the hounds doing their thing as usual, the townspeople depressed but living, and jinwoo confined forever for guwon’s happiness and pleasure
idk, just my take but i wonder what will happen next season - i’m scurred
i thought i would be able to like this guy eventually, later down the line, bc i do love me an obsessive top, but he’s just sick. guwon forcing himself on jinwoo in chapter 22 i think, and now finding out he killed jinwoo’s father, and now killing the doctor - absolutely not. i know these things usually end with the mc and the main ml getting together, but there is still the unrequited love tag so i’m holding out hope that guwon dies or smth idc
i was kinda lost bc the last time i read it was last year, but the sides were great too. man when yohan’s master died, that was so sad my poor baby i hate that fuckass fox. bro and then gunoh and his father, the way he kept chanting dad, i was sobbing my eyes out, i’m still sniffling and the baby deer, that was so horrible urgh
so glad to see yohan and gunoh finally got together though, been waiting for it to happen forever. and the snake sex HELLO?? i love how freaked out chaewool is
this was nice, but i wish we got a more definitive close on gyoon and jihye - they just went abroad with no one seeing them off and it wasn’t even explicitly stated when they left, plus we didn’t see much of them after they had sex. but a very lovely story overall - oh, and i wish i saw hyunho getting together with someone. if namwoo isn’t straight, i ship them
the first two parts, even a little bit of the third part, was so exhausting. the way they argue about every small thing, and also hide everything from each other is so annoying - they refuse to communicate about the things that matter and then blow up at each other when it gets too much.
euntak, my baby, as much as i love him, he needs to get whacked in the head to gain some sense - and that’s exactly what the second accident gave him he pursues dojae knowing full well the guy doesn’t like him+only wants him for sex, yet he makes up all of these fantasies in his mind. and i get that - his crush is willing to date him, why wouldn’t he imagine them getting together in the end. but his problem is that he gets too in his head and lets it interfere with reality. also the other issue is that he cares too much about what other people, but i also get it. i’m also queer, i cant just come out to my family bc theyre so homophobic, but it’s also such a struggle on dojae’s side too - he doesn’t understand how things work in a conventional manner, and i can imagine how confusing it must’ve been for a guy who was so obviously making heart eyes at him at every opportunity, finally get with him and then want to hide their relationship. that’s also so hurtful, the fact that you’re in a happy relationship but being forced to be hidden away - i understand its obviously bc of the blatant homophobia, and euntak would proudly parade around with dojae in a better world, but it doesn’t lessen the hurt. also the thing with euntak is that he expects dojae to read his mind. even after they overcame everything in parts one and two and he figured how to work around dojae’s disorder, he expects dojae to read his mind and act like a perfect partner which isn’t realistic.
dojae, god help me. he’s so hot, but so infuriating yk for their three date agreement, i was so sure that euntak said dojae couldnt see anyone else and he agreed to that but idk? and i don’t understand why dojae didn’t stay monogamous during that time - it has nothing to do with feelings but whatever. i understand bc of his disorder he can be frustrating, but that can’t be an excuse for everything. i’m sure it gets exhausting having to deal with it constantly. like, he can be such a hypocrite - he goes and sees another woman after going on a date with euntak, but gets upset when he saw euntak and hyuk hugging? he gets upset about euntak being shirtless AT THE BEACH, while he himself is shirtless. euntak has so much patience, bc even if i were to date dojae and know that he could be exhausting, whenever he were to act like a hypocrite, i would smack him with a brick or smth idk
overall, i do think they’re cute together and their softer, fluffier scenes were so nicely done. i wish they weren’t so sex-centred, but sigh, this IS a bl after all, why would i expect them to talk and be domestic when they could be having sex instead (pls note my sarcasm ) i loved part three the most - they were the most settled and domestic, and their arguments were very short. not to mention the comedic nature made it a lot more enjoyable to read, i was giggling at everything like theyre so dumb but i love them
i wish hyuk and hyobin could get a spin off, theyre such a cute couple as well and i love puppy tops and hyuk is the CUTEST. i’m not gonna say much about the side stories, bc i was reading them when they were getting uploaded weekly and you can find my comments about me agonising with each update LMFAO. i hate it when authors make side stories angsty, LIKE WE ALREADY WENT THROUGH HELL IN THE MAIN STORY, LET THEM BE HAPPY IN THE SIDES??
oh also, i usually don’t like to make comments about the uploaders and ik icarus is everywhere uploading stories i love, but the deku and shiggy art is fucking insane man. saying people need to get help if they can’t differentiate between fiction and reality is the dumbest thing ever. brother, YOU need help you’re the one shipping a CHILD (14/15 years old) with an adult (shiggy is 20/21) like you can’t be serious but anyways
anyways, i’m tapping out - i can’t do it anymore. i know the angst and miscommunication is gonna be tew much for me at some point and theyre not gonna have their happy ending anytime soon and i can’t handle waiting for an update every wednesday, not to mention the regular hiatuses as well as the ones in between seasons. i hope this ends soon so i can finally binge it without the anxiety of knowing it’s not gonna end well
also, they so so so remind me of “i have a feeling you got everything you wanted and you’re not wasting time stuck here like me you’re just thinking its a small thing that happened the world ended when it happened to me”
at least it was short lived but have these two learnt nothing from all their previous miscommunication i get sasya’s mental illness and his constant insecurity, so i can’t really be too harsh or expect him to communicate too ‘effectively’ but sometimes it gets to a point bc if karel were meeting up with another man in secret, you just know sasya wouldve relapsed and packed his bags then fled
ik guwon didnt kill jinwoo’s dad, but get that whacko out of my face popped out like “surprise shawty!” GO AWAY
also, i hope the hounds with the red hair and the long hair are hot - if they’re gonna be twisted like guwon, i at least need them to be some good eye candy
