yall gonna hate me for this but this is... literally just ass now. haesoo should not be fucking around with that fuckass manipulative bitch but should be working on herself. author literally gave her two panels worth of character development where she bought new clothes for herself and called it a day. girlie literally got out of a long ass toxic rs and you're throwing her into another objectively unhealthy one how the fuck am i supposed to root for them when haesoo is genuinely boring as fuck and ik nothing about the male lead except that he's obsessed and rich and probably has a typical sob story backing him up. ik this is a smut i shouldn't be expecting much but even the smut is boring as fuck. ik yall gonna say oh the author just hasnt properly started delving into the story yet well its been more than 50 fucking chapters man. how is it that i know more about jay than the literal male lead. anyway I'll be holding out in case the author miraculously decides to add more depth to the characters & story but i dont have high hopes.
I still really love the story and will read until the end, BUT... I have to admit that you're right. It's been 53 chapters but there hasn't been much development on any front, be it Haesoo's (we're getting there but she still has to work on her confidence and happiness without becoming dependant on another man), Mincheol's karma (WHEN IS IT COMINGGG) or the romantic relationship (there are still too many secrets on Taeha's part to feel completely sincere, although it's obvious he does love her, or at least is obsessed with her). There's still SO much stuff that needs to be addressed so I'd say we're not even half way done with the story yet... I wish the plot was moving faster than it is now, especially since I'm buying each chapter in the raws every week hoping to see some actual development (apart from the smut) and am left a tiny bit disappointed everytime there isn't any
I MARINATED THIS FOR YEARS JUST TO FIND OUT THE MAIN CHARACTER DIES??? I'm glad i never started it i guess??
Wait, what?
I haven’t read in a while and I can’t say I’m totally surprised, but still…hmm…
i saw a post on tiktok, apparently it happens in the latest raw chapter
At least have the decency to check the spoilers mark. How rude and inconsiderate of you. Beside that, you should be smart enough to guess that the storyline is obviously not ending after that tragic event since there's a whole ass season coming in few months...
?? i literally did check the spoiler mark what r u on
+ apologies im not smart enough i havent even read this & freaked out based on the comments i read on a tiktoo, saying its literally gonna end like this. do u have a stick up ur ass or sum
It didn't appear with the spoilers check on my page when I opened the comment from the bottom page. And why are you even freaking out on a story you haven't even read and characters you don't even know? oO
cuz i've been waiting literal years for it to finish so that I can binge-read it... </3
Then please go ahead and don't be influenced by people's opinions. This is hands down one of the best BL of the past 2-3 years. Plot-wise and art-wise. As for what happened in the latest chapter, it's definitely not the end of the story. It just means the plot is thickening and we're all super excited to see what the author will cook next season. You won't regret it
who the fuck lied to me and told me he shaved
Were u perhaps confusing this manhwa to another??
no i remember someone venting in the forums cuz they were sad he shaved... i read the whole thing because of them
saw the drama on here so i had to join in.
first of all, yeah this one's really iffy. author could have easily aged up the male lead, maybe made him eighteen when they met *or* make the mc closer to him in age. they still chose to go down the weirder route, and criticizing that is valid.
i don't think it's grooming though. HEAR ME OUT FIRST. we're literally given insight into the main character's thoughts, and at no point does he ever harbour any such feelings for the mc when he's a child. it would be weird if he thought of him sexually, but he doesn't. since we're given access to his thoughts, we also know he had no intention of grooming the kid or anything like that. hence, it's *not* grooming. (imo)
it's still weird as fuck though, idk why authors choose to write stuff like this, plot could've been decent without this one aspect, but calling it grooming would be wrong. just call it disgusting, weird, fucked up, whatever else that's totally fine
Yes, I have no idea where they got the he's in love with him part from, I guess they read with their eyes closed
I feel like ml being a child and the age gap was pretty integral to the story. it was the reason bonding and intimacy was off the table, it gave mc the space to drop his guard and change from a disillusioned person who felt useless to a leader protecting others; meanwhile being a powerless kid is the only justification I accept for the king to not go back to his throne...
Also I don't wanna be the logical one here but isn't age different in Japan? I know they graduate high school (for them its like 3 yrs) vs USA it's like 4 yrs. People keep forgetting that Japan literally has different views, doesn't make it right but also doesn't not add to perspective
stated age of consent in this manga is set at 18. I think it has more to do with the fact that stories are supposed to be interesting. it's not their purpose to teach morals, we are not in kindergarten anymore (<-- not referring to you)
Wish people could actually think like you do
guwon is so omega coded
