Geon's personality is top notch, what do they all mean 'bad personality', THE FUCK?! Usually, MCs are super cringe and kinda weird, but Geon is that power bottom with an open, honest heart, good communication skills and is NOT a coward, THIS IS BY DEFINITION AN AMAZING PERSONALITY
Hyunsun's encouragement really moved me, as someone who also left school for a while and is still trying to figure out my life and getting back into school and all. I have a passion, I know what I love, but it's something not lucrative. His words and perspective truly made me go - wow, this is an interesting angle to look at things from. All along I thought I was a coward myself for doing what I love while escaping from school, career building activities, reality, just like the young guy, but maybe following the societal scheme of a somewhat productive life in capitalist systems isn't as easy, too. You give up a lot. Yourself, your true passions. Your love for living and doing what you love.
This is my first time ever feeling that seen in BL, but also being very touched by it. What a great story overall, and very real (and relatable) characters, too.
Also, I love how Hyunsun stopped when the old geezer fell asleep, PLS MORE MOMENTS LIKE THIS IN BL. They're so adorable and the age gap isn't too bad, considering H is 24 at least. The prefrontal cortex still needs a bit of cooking at that age, but it's okay, there's no real power gap or anything in this dynamic.
Rereading this hot garbage because the second couple is so fucking good it hurts
Are you joking?
I'm being dead serious, sadly
Damn..I think you need therapy
Can you by chance tell me where exactly I need to start reading for the side couple? :'D
I just tried reading and I hardly could stand reading till chapter 10 due to the writing being actual garbage. (And I mean the story flow itself as well as character logic and behavior. All of it is random and lacklusterly done. WTF. It turned into a chore to read within such a short time.)
I know side couples can often be much better but I kinda have my doubts since the writing is generally badly done here. But I would still like to check out the side couple regardless. Can you give me pointers where I should jump in? I don't want to sift through the debris. :')
(Great username btw. I only spotted that at the very end of writing this. X'D)
We're all on this website, so the need for therapy includes you as well, bitch
Also, liking the main couple would actually be more indicative of me needing therapy than the second? Are you dumb? Lol
Girl, I get you, it's absolute garbage and I HATE both the main characters.
The side couple story starts in chapter 19, but you'll have to skip the main couple from time to time cause it's still sprinkled in.
What I like about the side couple is the angst and more of the complexity of the characters, their dynamic seems more realistic, adult, and just relatable to an extent. Both of them have issues opening up, one of them has issues with feeling the need to fill his inner void with meaningless sex (and self sabotage), and trigger warning, there's child SA involved in the backstory.
(Thank you, finally a person who knows what's up hehe :D )
THANK YOU~ <3
I am a sucker for those kinds of stories, so I'll definitely look at their story.
I just finished reading a similar sounding story, aslo realistic but about mental issues more than anything and showing how the main characters settle with their life troubles. It's called Gift by Ichinose Yuma, I VERY much recommend this one. The writing has it's tiny hickup moments in some parts (kinda feeling jump cut-ish at times) but it's a well written story, definitely a heavy theme written for adult audiences to appreciate - same trigger warning applies btw. And it does an amazing job portraying the characters' struggle.
(Hehehe~)
Bruh I just want it to be the second couple's turn cause they look so much more interesting
ML manchild literally had a temper tantrum cause it's oh so difficult for him not to abuse 'out of love'.... Manipulation 101, some of you will see it as 'ah he must love him cause he's so honest and tells him to run away before his love ruins MC'. Well I see it as a pity party of a sick man with fucked up attachment style. 'Look at me ,how I'm suffering MC. I treat you like shit all the time, but no, in reality, I'm the victim'. This story, yet again, portrays an abuser perfectly.
Telling someone you'd love to break their limbs and keep them in a basement is not the vibe, it's not even hot lmao
I'd be convinced the ML has some sort of love or compassion for MC only if he forces him to leave his obsessive ass. If he lets MC stay, I know dude is utter trash.
WELL SAID
Thanks
Serves you right, asshole. This world would've been so much better if pieces of shits like this story's top would suffer like that. The mental anguish, losing everything he's worked for, falling from his arrogant, psychopathic high trip, it's so beautiful. I WANNA SEE HIM BROKEN
Yes his downfall is the key representation of karma and how you treat others will eventually be reflected on you. Hes got alot of redeeming to do
Yeah, I wish it was like that irl... Do you think he's redeemable at all tho? Would be veeeeery difficult imo
Nah the bottom is an insufferable cunt. Idc about his insecurities and issues, dude has more than enough possibilities to better himself and he gets reassurance from his beautiful partner so DO BETTER AND STOP HITTING AND PUNCHING THIS BEAUTIFUL MAN. The top is waaaay to fucking good for the bottom imo. I guess the author wanted to show what it's like when a messy, insecure person gets with a healthy, golden retriever type, but it's so sad to see the top be happy with just crumbs from his piece of shit boyfriend... Verbal abuse, physical abuse, and it's not cute just cause a big, buff dude endures it or laughs it off...
pretty sure the point here is that the bottom is a freako and the top is really into it. like it's very evident that he's fucked in the head and that adds to the absurdity of the story.
Sure, but it doesn't change the fact it's an abusive situation. Selling this story as some sort of quirky masochism and people eating it up is hilarious
no shit it's weird, but that's like saying we shouldn't like the addams family bc of child endangerment. we all know that shit will never fly in real life and anyone with 2 braincells to rub together should call the cops the moment they can, but we're looking at a fantasy freak4freak situation that's not meant to be taken seriously. if the author wants to write a healthy relationship, then we can examine where they fail at that by looking at red flags, signs of abuse, etc in the characters. but the author wants to write brainless stupid crack, so we will treat it like brainless stupid crack. this is where media analysis comes to play and you cannot treat every work the same way and expect the plot/relationship dynamic to be executed in the same fashion.
well prolly the seme dgaf bout ur opinion too, he knows hows the bottom is like n still be with him. say tht to him he prolly defend his man n thts his preference
Only good thing about this is the pretty art style and the potentially hot sex scenes between the phantom and Chris.
Also, pls no Anastasia OMG YOU HAVE A BDSM DOM CHAMBER moment, istg, you were raped and saved by a ghost with anger issues bro, bdsm is your least issue.
OMG I can't wait for the side couple tbh. Whenever they introduce the sparks between a potential side couple too early, I stop caring for the main one lol. And the side couples just hit different. I like the other bottom better, he seems smart and cool, and I like the big gentle giant energy from the other side ML.
NOOOO, NOT THE SEX CLIFFHANGER
Okay, I love this story so much, the ML has such black cat energy while the MC is a golden retriever sunshine and the way he learns but also genuinely cherishes the ML is TOO ADORABLE!! The pats on the head and how he encourages him genuinely and not just as part of the 'lessons', awww.
Also, what the ML is going through reminds me a lot of Metal Family. My heart breaks for what he has to endure, he deserves so much better and the MC is absolutely right for him... They're absolute opposites but in the best way possible
