Bro I was here getting excited at the reverse of the usual trope of the bottom being at his rock bottom and a powerful rich top coming in, but I’m annoyed the bottom is at a disadvantage with his rich family too, we really can’t have nice things ToT
but also I feel like we got slapped with way too many problems all at once all too early, top’s abusive family and environment, bottom’s abusive family and dynamic, bottom not really being interested in top, AND top’s gambling addiction like bro pick one problem at a timeee

I feel so weird about this cause okay it’s the most basic ‘mc likes ml, but hesitates about confessing all the while he fluctuates on thinking ml likes him back or not (he does) and there’s also mc’s bestie that’s in love with mc but in the end steps aside” story
The mc’s poetic way of narration was nice to read, it was nice that there were no bad people like even the rejected girl wasn’t tryna do the typical “if I got rejected I want you to be rejected too” stuff
But like I can’t lie I was really seeing this going in the direction of mc looking back at the years of friendship with the bestie, seeing him as an option ,developing feelings and ending up with bestie in the end (even tho cover art is ml….) I’m just left weirdly sad about the bestie, him playing off his confession as a joke was just sad, even if he irritated me with all the meddling at first tryna keep mc back from ml when he himself had no hope or intention to confess … and it’s nice that it’s kinda teased that there was someone new that caught his eye and honestly I’d love to see the story of them, it’s almost always side couples outshining main couples in stories and I feel like it had the potential to do it here too but it was just left at teasing so IM SAD ABOUT THAT TOO

It’s like the main focus is the relatable inner thoughts of the mc in the process of teen love, cause otherwise as a couple there was no real chemistry or fun dynamic between mc and ml, they just simply…. Liked each other?
The dynamic of mc and bestie of being comfy and bickering was more of a fun read for a pairing..

Okay this is honestly the ultimate pure unconditional love story they're just so good to each other it's insane, but ofc if there's no problem with them then the conflict has to be outside the couple and my godddd did it kill me,
Like okay it hit me so raw in the feels cause like I've read a bunch of stories with mafia guys and danger and manipulation and EVERYTHING but they felt so far removed from reality I could just read the drama with popcorn but this is hitting so raw, bridge to terabithia style, but also the storyline was so damn good
But also someone else complained about fast pacing by the end but I'm actually glad it was so, it took its time setting up their lovely relationship for the first 85% and the real climax and conflict in the plot came at the very end, but I'm really glad it was fast paced there cuase it was so insanely anxiety inducing to me I wouldn't be able to sit and simmer in it for any longer than what it already is, I was scrolling so fast to get to the resolution of it all to breathe cause AAAAAAA
What I didn't really get was, did her writing really actually control reality?? Like I thought all throughout that her script was just the writers giving foreshadowing or a parallel but different ending story thing, I didn't think it'd actually end up as if her writing actually influenced their reality caus elike why??? What's the explanation, what's the point of that plot, why would things go this way just cause she wrote and why would things have a happy ending just cause she wrote, how was that even relevant, the story would've been the exact same without it being revealed as of she influenced it and not as if it's some tragic coincidence, idk its the one thing I find weird and unnecessary in the story
But anyway I STILL DIE FROM CLOVER RING AND PAINTING PROPOSAL, ALSO AAAAAAAAAAA, I can't believe I got to see two of them arguing to be the bottom, I've literally never seen it in a comic and like Aaaaaaaa it's so them, but also past the first 10% it felt like dongchan would end up being top cause in every way that's the expectation it sets up compared to top and bottom stereotypes in other manhwas but IM SO GLAD IT WAS THE OPPOSITE LIKE AAAAAAAAAAAA I'm on my KNEEEES for top-seeming bottoms and bottom-seeming tops, though considering they were both fighting to be bottom I feel like theyd totally be a switch couple but if it's gonna be one or the other I'm glad this is how they are sdndjsjdj
Also I love their families so much too, like they really left their kid in the other familys care alone and the other family took him in just like that, and they also did the opposite in uni times, LIKE THEY BARELY EVEN LNEW EACH OTHER ANS THEY DID THAT THATS INSANE

No I was thinking both the dynamic and art style looks like dangerous convenience store and I reached the end and saw it’s the same author loool but Oke if it’s the same author imma put my suspicions that he’s only fake nice and he might hurt mc to rest, I now trust him fully but also where is this gonna go cause there’s not even a hint of what the plot will be shdhjsjsjs I’m excited tho
Honestly? His patience and self control are respectable in the world of yaoi
