This is one of the few yaois I've read where I prefer the characters when they're wearing clothes. The sex scenes are laughably over the top. And the nipples, omg why!?!?!?!

Jung-heon behaves more like a dad than a partner. I hope Dan doesn't back down this time.

I'm going to miss Gren. I think he deserved better and it's hard for me to stay invested in the story at this point

Damn that was painful. Seo Juheon's rage filled eyes broke my heart. I hope this gets resolved quickly.

I really wanted Gren to survive. I'm less invested in the story now that he's gone ╥﹏╥

At this point, it's obvious that Ilic wants to be there. Otherwise, he would have killed himself a long time ago.

I absolutely loved this story up until chapter 44. Both characters felt realistic and then the writer had to hit us with the laziest most over used yaoi/BL cliché, STUDY ABOARD! Then I immediately lost interest in their relationship and my frustration with Doha increased with every new chapter.

Instead of having them go on a break, grow a bit, then finally admit their feelings to each other honestly. The writer decided to cop out and steal 5 years of their relationship. Even though neither seemed to grow or change in any meaningful way during the 5 year separation. I get why writers use this trope, but I hate it. I also hate that their entire relationship was based in Doha's whims and mood swings. Woohyun pretty much was coerced into the relationship in the beginning, then as his feelings started to grow towards Doha, Doha just left and wouldn't even talk to him on the phone. Then he comes back and treats Woohyun like a joke. Woohyun obviously and justifiably has abandonment issues and Doha doesn't even consider that.

I really regret reading it and those extra chapters didn't make me like it anymore.

These days there is nothing more predictable in Korean yaois than an author taking a story that starts off sweet and turning it into a rape or non-consent fest. Either almost every seme in the country is too stupid or evil understand that "no", "please stop" and "it hurts" are not the words of someone who is enjoying the sex. Or the writers and publishers think that that behavior is acceptable/normal and wait readers want.

Either way, it's a shame that this keeps happening. Miserable painful sex, is not something that should be normalized in fiction or irl. But I can understand it in stories about pschyo characters or torture porn. But when you have chibis and romance one second and violent pounding while the other guy thinks he's going to die in the next, it's clearly wrong. Anyone defending it shows that their views of "normal sexual relationships" are also questionable. Hardcore and raunchy sex can be a nice experience for both people, that's not what many authors of kyaois are writing these days and that's so sad.

Idk who decided that most Kyaois should include rape by the seme, but I'm so tired of it. This story was interesting, then Uriel turned into a psycho. I'm dropping this, I have zero interest in watching yet another yaoi character be victimized chapter after chapter and then probably end up with his rapist. It's so sad how normal this has become in this genre!

I love it more and more each week. The puppy is the cutest!

I feel so bad for Doyeon. Now I want him to end up with Kang, but I know that won't happen.

I wanted to see the cute baby so I only skimmed the side stories. That seme is as crazy as many of this author's other characters and I'm convinced he's going to kill that baby and probably the uke one day. That was not an enjoyable read in any way.

I thought the translation was fine, but the uke ruined the story for me. I didn't like him at all and the seme was so pitiful that it felt like they were not compatible.

I'm here for cute babies and an adorable story. I didn't want or enjoy chapter 7.5

This is the ultimate family yaoi. That baby is so sweet and so are his dad's. I love them all so much, I want this story to be turned into an anime!

I know some people had issues with the new artist, but given what happened with the first artist, I'm just grateful that they got a new artist and finished the story. In the end, I thought the art was fine. But I really didn't like Felix, he was way too domineering and didn't treat Isaac as an equal. But I'm glad I read it and Benjamin was adorable.
