The best thing about this story is the character relationships the plot is a bit iffy as things happen for the sake of happening. A lot of plot events are rushed through extremely quickly and so called challenges are dealt with in 1 or 2 chapters. I have the most fun when I'm just reading about her going on dates with isaac, plotting with Dominic and hanging with the kids. Other wise it's kinda messy
It was alright quite fast paced for the things they were setting up. For how short it was I think the narrative they wanted to explore was to ambitious so things happened cause they needed to happen to fit in for the events planned. Causing a lot of characters to act very one way then the other the very next chapter.
Best part of this was the epilogue and it's funny cause it was the part that didn't have any plot. It was just cute family fluff and the author was really good at writting the kids and they didn't feel like jusr stereotypes/mini versions of the adults but like kids. It wad cute and nice
Without the epilogue it's like a 5.6/10 story with the epilogue it goes up to a solid 6.6/10
Despite the issues I have with the child and the abuse skar put him through cause he thought he left him this story was actually really good.
Sasha was such a complex character and I liked that a lot more than the classic weak mc, he went through so much and his mental health was very nicely portrayed, he was heavily depressed from not being able to dance despite being in a relationship with a man who loved him and a nice house not only that the abuse he suffered from being Austrian all culminated in a really nicely written depression arc for him and it was handled and kept through our the whole story cause these kinds of things stick and showing the ugly side of these types of mental issues helps lessen the stigmatisation of them.
Spoilers
I genuinely thought it was going to end witb the both of them dying either together or tragically apart pleasantly supprised as they alrdy went through quite a lot.
A solid 8.7/10
Okay I'm happy for them but why tf did they introduce that child only to neglect him the whole story.
This couple love each other so much I genuinely don't think they would ever have a child irl.
Like I just felt bad the whole time levin is literally his mother she has spent more time with that baby than anyone else in the story.
One of the few romances that actually have the love interest have banter with each other besides flirtating.
Like they genuinely feel like BFFs who are also married.
There is actually tangible chemistry something so increadibly rare despite the many romances.
How a story can make me go "awww they are so freaking cute" to "my goodness is this messed up" back to back without it being jarring.
Now this is peak romance manga. It's been so long since a romance manga has actually had me completely locked in like this. Both the romance is peak and the characters are peak and the setting is peak and the action is peak. Like it was created just for me.
This story is so interesting cause while the parents absolutely suck I can understand why the mother would not be able to love her r*pist child especially if they look like the horrible scum that he is. Explains her actions doesn't justify the child abuse is never justifiable.
I just wish she put them out for adoption if she was going to allow them to be abused to horrible for paying for a sin they didn't even commit. This is so sad, I feel so much for the twins.
I know adoption system isn't the greatest but having a chance for a normal life after getting adopted is much better than being abused daily never even being taught to read from the moment you could even form memories.
So the brother Im not the biggest fan of the flirt character who flirts with everyone woman he sees but it seems to be a different situation than Initially thought.
He seems to have developed this almost airhead like coping mechanism to deal with his trauma where he kinda lives in his own little bubble and acts a lot more childish than others his age because of it.
Shin is so gender I don't know how else to explain him.
He is probably the prettiest man in seen in a manga.
We need more rich bottoms spoiling their poor tops
More excited over the two semes kissing each other than anything else lmaoo. 3ps never actually have the semes interact lovingly so this is exactly what I craved. Wish there was more and they all just had mutual love for each other cause if the mc can love both of em St the same time why can't the others?
Couple that act like best friends but still romantic, rare but such a nice treat especially as the main couple.
He is so hot man like it's crazy
Im reading this and I'm like woah that's literally your husband
If my husband looked like that I don't think I could be sane, I would literally just spend hours of my life just staring at him.
Like I'm shocked how someone so handsome is just drawn like this like what.... And then to top it off he is gym nerd and very silly and resourceful?
Like I'm sorry but I would actually sell my kidney for someone like him to even glance my way.
Both her dads should just get married kick out the fake eulicine and then just live happily ever after as one big happy family.
Her father's are literally alrdy giving enemies to lovers now imagine if they made it real.
The main couple is goddam annoying okay kai is fine the real issue Charles. I would actually kms if I had to be around him irl. Always fighting always shouting always denying like that's the point?
When the 2nd couple had more of a focus I felt more calm and peace than I had felt since the beginning of the story.
I don't think I can take it especially with the extra slow pace of like one scene per chapter
Haven't read a story where the bottom has this much top energy not only from looks but also personality. Put him in any other story and he is 9/10 times going to just be another cliche top. Knowing he is taking it from the ass makes it so much better.
Shinpei is going to obsessively try and get her back.
Also we all knew something horrible was going to happen, they were talking about the future... They were discussing their plans after marriage.
Future plans + action drama manga = something horrible is happening in the next 1 to 3 chapters especially in a seinen.
I don't remember what happened in chapter 1 everyone keeps talking about and I don't want to reread cause I still want to live with a little bit of hope.....
Not gonna lie making a doll of her was quite smart. If it's made by a really skilled sculpturer it's almost impossible tell from a distance especially in a picture. So it makes sense why siyon would immediately belive it, like search up realistic wax figures of celebraties and you'll see.
