2 months post Sangyang. This is the longest I've ever gone without Sangyang. Supplies are dwindling by the minute, along with my sanity. I can't hold on for much longer. To distract myself here's something I noticed. Lau's birthday is December 31st. The yearly Zhou family ritual takes place on New Years. If my current theory is correct, and Xin is being used as some sort of sacrifice for the ritual, this is very fucked up of the author. Like wdym you set up Lau's birthday the day before the love of his life gets sacrificed The author is absolutely a sadist 100%
In their world you either be molested or live long enough to become the molester. Wtf is this universe bro
This entire time I thought the cover was of Xin wearing a slightly fuzzy turtleneck... I didn't even realize Lau was there. Please tell me I'm not the only one who made this mistake. I don't want to feel like an idiot ╥﹏╥
no cause I was thinking of reading this and I just saw the other guy when you mentioned it, I too thought the long haired one is wearing a turtleneck.
Just like in Never understand I thought it was a man and his dog but it was just 2 men on the cover like
It’s because this site cropped the cover art shittily it cut off both of their noses here’s the actual cover https://www.mangago.zone/home/photo/43560660/
If you think about it this cover is also showing a man and his dog.
The difference is insane. There's gotta be a way to change the cover on this site because no way. I can't stand Xin looking like Voldemort any longer.
Whoever recommended this to me I hate you so much. My heart will never recover from this.
I love this story, Llwellyn's whole flashback is beautiful and haunting. Though the page with the emoticon over his face made me chuckle a little through my tears. The moment where Shavonne realized he was essentially used and abused once again by that fuckass editor was devastating. But still, there's a part of me that wishes somethings made more sense. I don't really get the whole refugee thing, why do they just get mansions as restitution?? I think if we spent some more time in Llewellyn's POV while he was transitioning from prison dog to high profile killer (I forgot what they called him lol) this would've answered some questions about that. Still a great story, I just wished they fleshed out the world a little better.
The novel detailed a little bit more on the stuff you are talking about and I agree with everything you said, I too wish it wasn’t fast paced and we got to explore more stuff </3
1 month post Sangyang. This is the longest I've ever gone without Sangyang. I can't take this for much longer. How am I to survive without my light, my love, my one true sustenance? Literally shaking rn. It will be a long 3 months, the most harrowing 3 months of my life. But I must stay strong. We must stay strong men! Until the day Sangyang returns!
Guwon's starting to give "Born sexy yesterday" rather than whatever he had going on at the beginning. Maybe this is too harsh of me to say I feel like the writing has sort of decayed a bit. Guwon and teach's characterizations seem sort of heavy handed now, as opposed to the beginning where more things were implied or kept mysterious. Maybe its just a personal preference of mine, but I feel like the author doesn't have to spell out every little part of their (lowkey cliche) thoughts out to us Like "I let myself care about him not knowing he was the reason behind so many people's pain" or "I can't stop feeling disgusted with myself" or "He knows what's right or wrong and he's not afraid to call me out". Not gonna lie I think this would've flowed better in novel form, like I actually started wondering if it was a novel adaptation at one point. I'm still intrigued by their universe and all of the mysteries the author has set up, and the whole meaning of the title as well, so I'm going to keep reading ofc. But still, a part of me can't help but wonder how good this could've been if the author was a bit less heavy handed and relied more on "show" rather than "tell".
