Okay, hell nah. The first 40-ish chapters of this was okay. I didn't mind it too much. Some stuff here and there I didn't agree with, but holy shit can a decent story be ruined within a few chapters, like holy shit. I despise, DESPISE the uke. And I hate, HATE how everyone pestered and badgered the seme while he basically did nothing wrong, the hell?!
Okay, a few main things that bugged me:
1: seme had CLEAR boundaries. Now, sure, it's fine that feelings change and whatnot, but the hell was uke doing feeling sorry for himself and whatnot? There were very clear boundaries, and it's on the uke to deal with potential rejection. Jesus, the seme didn't owe him anything, he was super clear.
2: for the love of GOD, fix yourself AND your relationship before you let a baby get pumped into you! On God, this bothered me the fucking most. The running away, not taking responsibility, while seme was CLEARLY there for him was just fucking NUTS. Nah, fuck off, nobody actually cares about your fragile feelings, uke, sort it out yourself! Get some therapy for your issuess.
3: the seme can choose to retire if he so wishes?! What the HELL was that?!?! Uke can retire, no biggie, but then seme wants to retire, and it's suddenly not okay?! Why the hell is that such an issue?! It's his to deal with, his choice, his decision. Nobody else gets a say in that. Absolutely fucking ridiculous.
4: setting a ridiculous goal. You can only mark me when you get gold at the Olympics. Setting such unattainable goals, what an absolute fucking dick move, holy shit.
5: the hell can the baby's eye colour look like any of theirs?! Kids are born with blue eyes. BLUE! And even the fucking baby knew how much of a fuckwad his dad is.
No, like, actually, this comic made me rage SO MUCH within 10 chapters. Congrats. No idea how people here can think the way their miscommunication was solved in any way, shape or form, was actually good. It was basically seme constantly chasing the uke, because the uke was AN ASSHOLE.
Okay, I've said my piece, done the hate react, this was such a shame of a comic that for most of its run was actually pretty decent. For the LOVE OF GOD, people, DON'T PRODUCE CHILDREN IN AN UNSTEADY ENVIRONMENT! Get yourself (and your environment) sorted out first before endeavoring on such responsibilities!
I don't knw why people downvoted this when this literally is soo true..... I mean this doesn't happen much in real life......but...there are some cases of this in real life too.... It's also soo true that the uke was also very annoying somtimes.... Always having negative thoughts no matter what the seme said....
Plus the uke when he ran away with the baby....ahhhh I mean why? Why did uke needed to run for? I mean okay uke didn't wanted seme to retire but like.... Uke was running away just to make seme not retire saying it's his fault seme is retiring....????????????? Wha-?!!....
I mean the seme wanted uke to live with his career freely and see uke shinning bright.... If uke didn't wanted to seme to retire both of them culdnt had a serious talk and discussion....it's not like it's the end of the world if seme retired bcoz seme has his own problem that his facing.......
Jezzz if you guys don't agree and are downvoting I think somthing is wrong with your sympathy and way of understanding rights and wrong......
But like your words were sooo true!!
Speaking about facts at first I really liked how 5he story was going on but then after uke leaving with the baby I wanted to see for some unnecessary reasons I got bored....and annoyed.... I just kept on going to see the baby only lol...
But anyways the last sentence u said about "not have a baby in an unsteady environment" is sooo damn true!.... I mean look at our reality too...having a baby just to let them become orphans or not being able to support them and leave them behind really is so inhuman (tho didn't happen in the story I mean uke is rich but he alone can't handle a baby bcoz he was trying to hide away from everyone)
Haha, I totally feel you! I was pretty into the story, and then all that unnecessary drama, out of nowhere! Like, get your shit together, please?!
And yes, that's what bugged me the most, because I see it happening around me as well, people having kids, while not in the best position... Like, think of the damn consequences of your actions, as you're not the only one who feels the aftermath of that.
And he, as someone who grew up IN A DAMN ORPHANAGE, should know best what it feels like to be "abandoned", maaan, this just irks me so damn much!
We ain't complaining... We're giving each other our opinion zzzzzz...
Like what...we don't have a right to share our opinion to each other??
Moreover were talking about the story in ourself as in an opinion veiwing out our points....
If we were complaining..We wuld be insulting the author right now but we never did...nor were we saying anything about or insulting the story....
people who agreed like us are sharing our view points on why....we didn't like half the story.....
Also we never said we didn't like the whole story we just said the part where uke left the seme with the baby bcoz that's a dumb thing to do when ur pregnant and all alone hiding from everyone....thats all
Wahhh I'm so sorry to hear that....tho I'm not an orphan but sometimes I feel I am one bcoz after my mother died my dad just completed left me, My mom's sister took cared of me.....so you could also say my dad left me.......idk anything about him anymore:)
Funny thing is that....untill I was I think 8 or 9 I didn't evn knew I had a dad plus I thought my mom's sister was my actual mom....lol
For 1. I see your point but he did not have to chase the uke, he did not have to agree to the secondary terms, he knew the uke had feeling for him (broke the boundary) and instead of just making a clean break between them he continued to chase the uke. (Not blaming on anything just saying)
For 2. Seme originally forced himself on uke because he was in rut, but uke ended letting him knot inside (so I dont see this as a rape scene cause he ended up allowing him to move forward) there are plenty of real life examples of accidental pregnancies and people who don't wanna abort for moral reasons. He ran away because he was scared, remember he has trauma because of how he was raised.
For 3. It was a biggie, hence why the uke was so pissed off. It took alot for him to make the decision and the seme just says "I choose you over my swimming career" putting myself in his shoes that would crush my SOUL. You choose me over this career you've been building up ever since you were a kid AND have to take drugs to be around me? It literally would make it his fault as to why he quit.
For 4. Because he believed in him, Viktor did the same thing in YOI. It was also partially because he was afraid of such a commitment, for fear of being a burden.
For 5. It's an omegaverse lol. Men can't get pregnant naturally irl. Heats with humans don't exist, so I don't think the baby's eye color is a big deal here.
Believe I was mad too at the uke when he kept running, but then I sympathized with him because his trauma is literally the reason why he's acting like this. I'm glad everything worked out in the end, the communication was a bit annoying but the love story was amazing compared to other omegaverses.
Thanks for reading my TED talk response
Wow this was a loaded comment lmao i can only reply to point 3 of your wall of text (its 2am rn im tired lol) but basically dan yi rim (uke) knew that cheong ho (seme) didnt really want to give up on swimming. Just like dan yi rim didnt want to give up on skating but had to bc of the pregnancy and his medical condition worsening. Basically he left because felt that he was forcing cheong ho into abandoning his dreams
Whiiiiich most of it comes down to one of my initial points: "Get some therapy for your issuess (sic)." Trauma. Which is no valid reason for any of these points. The boy needs some therapy. And THEN he can work on bonding with other humans, and creating a human himself. Also, uke for sure chased the seme down throroughly in the beginning. It was only after seme realised uke had feelings for him that he began chasing after uke. So, nuances, nuances, right?
Thanks for some of your viewpoints, though I don't necessarily agree it's the mature thing to do for the characters for most of them. Nor excuses, really. Boys. Need. Therapy.
Yea probably, I was just giving a new perspective, what he did was definitely due to untreated mental trauma but because to bl logic, I doubt therapy would work. Alotta bls I read like this, ukes/semes take the exposure approach or just start out with projecting their trauma on their partner before regretting it and blah blah blah they fall in love and get together.
Both of these ppl def needed some REAL therapy tho and uke needs to cut some things out of his life
Oh my god, I just thought of this series today, and there's an update! I am kinda sad that it was only an extra, though, as Haru seems to have regained his memories concerning Ren.... I mean, the side was cute, too, but damn, I just want their relationship to progress past all the awkwardness already!
I never realised this manga was continued! :O. And don't mind the nasty comments, translator-sans! There are always those who patiently wait for sensei's works ^^. I consider every chapter a gift, no matter how short! I mean, I randomly wanted to re-read this manga and found out it has been continued! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ Now I will patiently wait for the rest, no matter how long it takes ^^.
Not the side stories making my BAAAAAAWL! Oh, man, BWAT never fails to deliver, right?! Never saw that "ending" coming, I was BAWLING! And then the side stories, the tears wouldn't stop! But if I read the reviews, most everyone feels the same, so at least I know I'm not the only one in this
