Idk what it is, but these side stories aren't working for me. The main story was nearly perfect, but the side stories are missing the spark and strong writing of the main story. At this point if Carlyle doesn't end up pregnant or if Ash doesn't bottom at least once, the side stories will feel like a waste to me.

I don't think every reader is required to love every chap of a story. And saying you don't love something isn't snobbish IMO. I pay for the chapters on another site every single week, but it's disappointing to read the side stories. Ash using sex as a weapon of torture isn't appealing in any way for me.
But obviously some people disagree with my comment which is fine too.

Another Korean yaoi, another rape. At this point nothing surprises me less than when a new Korean yaoi starts with an innocent uke or Omega and it has a domineering seme or alpha who thinks "no", "please stop", "it hurts" plus endless sobbing means "fuck him harder".
I'm fully aware that there is an audience for stories with rape and sexual assault. But why must it also happen in stories that market themselves as sweet? Why have a title like "Cherry Cake" and a cover with pinks and flowers? Why can't we even get a trigger warning at the beginning of the chapter?
I don't think it's too much to ask for the read a story about 2 gay men set in Korea that doesn't normalize rape. But with each new Korean yaoi, it feels like an unrealistic expectation. Which is a shame. Obviously, I'm dropping this.

This story has been extremely compelling since it began. But now that the truth is out, I can't help but feel like it's time to wrap up this life and move on to the next life.
Seeing Mugyeong be tortured for a crime he didn't commit is painful and exhausting. I don't want him to die, but I don't think he'll ever have happiness in this life. I think the author is doing a FANTASTIC job and I'm not complaining about the story to this point. I just want to see those two cute kids being happy together in a world/time that is more accepting.

The storyline of the 2 actors and their ugly dogs are the only things keeping me even slightly interested in this manhua. The main characters, including the kids have been uninteresting for at least 100 chapters. The brothers' storyline is creepy and gross. And the managers of the actors should have been fired a long time ago.
I'd be fine with this manhua ending and a short side story focused on the actors. But this story will probably keep going for another 50 years.
I'm so grateful that Kim Mugyeong may be saved. This really is the best written yaoi I've read in a long time!
