He was a good guy. If I was our MC, I would 100% fall for him as a kid. Like, he’s smart, he cares for her, gives her attention, works hard to buy her things, he’s handsome and confident, and all of this is so sweet and cute.
But we see how everything turns out. One way or another, Mincheol ended up resenting MC - likely bc of his own insecurities, and the miscarriage, and inability to bring them out of poverty and provide both of them with a better life took a toll on him.
I can’t even blame out MC for staying so long with him, or even still feeling pain and regret - he seemed like a great guy, and the abuse over the years likely just made her feel stuck. He wanted the younger her, and she wanted the younger him.
It’s the same author that wrote spilled blood. I was so shocked when I connected the fact that ML’s brothers are the main characters of spilled blood (esp since that short story was full of pseudo incest and grooming).
Author def has a baby kink bc even in this story, the ML also tends to revert to it. I still love the story tho - I think the author does a phenomenal job fleshing out the characters and backstories, and making them very realistic. ML has issues (possessive/obsessive/refusing to call MC his lover) all bc he’s afraid of being abandoned, and rightfully so due to how the MC acts (talking about how they won’t be together after the year is done). And MC also has his reasons (never fully developed proper friendships bc he was severely bullied, and the one friend he had betrayed him). Overall, love this story, def worth the read compared to a lot of other BL out there.
And ML does treat MC right, he just has his flaws. The sex scenes are hot but honestly sometimes a bit too much.
Girl didn’t even have a proper reason to explain why she did what she did - and then she just trauma dumps us with her poor excuse of a backstory. Like no one asked or cared, she had no right to literally create dating accounts and dating ads for ML.
And then she has the audacity to say that their relationship will be hard in this small city and that she doesn’t support them - girl they never even told you their relationship or sought your support. They’re two consenting adults, and you’re a fcking teenager get the fck out of here. Worry about your grandma and leave everyone else alone.
Seeing the younger version of the two at the end was downright depressing. They’re brothers. He spent his lifetime atoning for what he did in the first life. And he seemed to be a good brother. I just think MC shouldn’t have been so quick to call each other strangers - maybe they reduce the time they spend together, but at least acknowledge that he’s a better person now in this life.
Maybe I'm missing something here but in terms of what MCs brother did wrong we have obsessive, creepy, attacked a mythical creature and imprisoned MC out of somewhat understandable abandonment fears. It then spiraled out of control and MC died due to unintended consequences.
Thats bad, but all in all, if someone went through multiple lifetimes reflecting on how those were bad choices, I could get over it. At no point was the brother evil, just wildly unable to express healthy affection. It feels strangely disproportionate given the ML at some point raped the MC.
I think Doha has no plan to escape the game - he’s just following the flow for now so Bada can be satisfied with any progress being made, but seems like Doha is secretly sabotaging Bada by preventing him from finding new messages/secrets that are being unlocked each run, slowing Bada’s progression to beating the game. I think this will be revealed once Bada has completely fallen for Doha, and that’s what Doha is counting on - Bada not wanting to leave and staying with him forever.
So the new chapter basically doesn’t even have also touch upon wtv happened last chapter. Like, the author completely brushed aside the rape and trauma and just acts like Leo is totally fine (if only a lil mad at how JJ just left him there) and ready for more. That’s disappointing.
Own up to what you created - you made the top rape the bottom, and apparently it’s not considered ‘rape’ at all? Watch the next ch be Jj raping Leo again.
I’m not saying I’m comfortable with the last chapter, it was indeed violent and the lack of worrying after was really shitty, but if you think about it, Leo is the one begging JJ to sleep with him just for the sake of his career, (once again treating him like a lucky charm rather than a human)
Also there’s no trauma mentioned or implied and him going to fuck with JJ again cuz he has a race just further proves the point he sees him just as a lucky charm (tho he seems kinda jealous of the blondie now)
Insane that in recent chapter the ML and oldest brother actually seem to have a healthy relationship with oldest sibling trying to prevent him from getting in major trouble, yet this is in the same manga where the Yoonjae and oldest sibling are fucking
Right?! I waw so surprised
