This series was so good I let it marinate for four years and it paid off. This series articulated so well why I don't like regular bottoms cz why you a grown man not fighting back? Why you a grown man acting like a little animal? Toxic power bottoms are a breath of fresh air. The top too was so sweet. The writing was immaculate and the dialogue well done. Even the rescue scene didn't feel cringe like other bl. I loved when the top told the grandpa that killing him won't make the MC a strong powerful heterosexual man

Cain and Jooins relationship is so much of blind devotion, dishonest harmony and inequality and that's why I always thought it was toxic too. Most of the series both of them pretend the love triangle isn't a problem for far too long and that as long as they're with each other the problem will fix itself. I don't know why it reminds me of the nonsense of saying "as long as he comes back to me I'm okay". Unfortunately Cain even says something along these lines too. The issue with all this is how can you fix a problem when you aren't even willing to acknowledge it exists. Between Cain and Jooin a lot of uncomfortable and painful conversations needed to happen if they were ever to be anything. We all know the only tough conversation that they had was when Jooin rejected Cain which wasn't even fixing anything but just ending it all between them. Love isn't enough to fix problems that needs to be verbalised to be fixed. I do get that Cain was always fearful of Jooins retaliation but doing nothing when something could have been done is where he truly lost to Yahwi. I always wanted Cain to at least crash out on Jooin bcz it was Jooin hurting him more than anyone else but the creator hit us with the whole "Cain would never do that cz he's only nice to Jooin". I don't know why second love interest are often just written by default as doormats who should just take it until they are bent and broken. I hate how in manhwa they don't have agency and only exist to love people that don't love them back.

If a man wrote this then they are doing a good job. I'll take the "unrealistic" body proportions anyday over the rape cesspool that are created by women in bl. I saw someone say the artist is a gooner for her proportions which is ridiculous. Unless you think flat chested and flat back women are the representation of womanhood then maybe. Have y'all seen most African bbes bodies who are constantly accused of body enhancements when it's just genetics. This rhetoric of unrealistic body proportions is the reason why African women were subjected to the worst sexual atrocities simply because of garbage opinions like "bodies like that are unrealistic".
Another thing is creators should have creative liberties. If the creator wants sexy bbes what's the issue? They're entitled to their artistic freedom. If you don't like her body you aren't being held at gunpoint. Go and read the romances with MC with flat chest and flat back.

This story hits so close too home cz this is a reality that happens to so many women worldwide. That bitch stole years of her life. To me the cheating is the final nail on the coffin but it doesn't beat him trapping her and using her love for him against her.
As for taeha bless his heart. He could have been a basic second love interest who forces things to happen and proclaim himself her saviour but he lets her feel her pain at her own time. He lets her be the woman she needs to be for herself. He encourages her fall in love with herself and be confident. He wants to interfere but even he knows it's not his place to speed run her getting over her evil ex. I love how patient he is with her. He is such a breath of fresh air. I read a lot of BLS and I just hate how second love interests on that side are never patient with the MC and just push them to get over it as if it ain't hard letting go of someone you love. God bless taeha.
People complaining about karlyle being insecure do my head in. Insecurities wouldn't just disappear because he and ash are together. Another reason why ash is my one of my fav tops, he ends the bullshit so quickly and reassures bbes even in front of his nasty cheating ex, leaves that entitled shit twink there. Regardless of whether it's top or bottom I really love characters who stand on business. I'm so glad they didn't drag the ex bullshit and even more glad it wasn't in the main story cz the little shit is so irrelevant. The audacity of this little shit when he's been dipping in and out of ash's life and cheating is beyond me
