i've read the novel first before i read this, and i remember i cried a bit (i mean a bit too much lol) bcs the novel is wayyy too heartbreaking.
so when i scrolled through the manhua I was like, 'oh, okay? not bad hmm?'
I think I read too much angst these days so this manhua didn't make me angry/ sad as much as I thought at first
ANDD Y'ALL DEF HAVE TO READ THAT NOVEL ABT YAN MINGXIU AND ZHOU XIANG, bcs it's much bitter and heartbreaking than this.
anyway, the artstyle is very breathtaking and beautiful, ngl i spent more time admiring the art than the actual story lol
god please take away all adam and eve pain and give it all to jaekyung
Leave my baby alone.. he's an alcoholic with insomnia and persistent nightmares
He deserves it, I want him to suffer more
god bless him with consistency with that amen!
OMFG LMAO LOVE IT
LMAOOOO
no shade but whose that again
Nah.. if Caesar and Zhenya can be rehabilitated (and those are black flags), I'm going to hold space for Jaekyung's character growth, riiiigghht next to Defying Gravity.
no it's funny because in the novel they're still as crazy as they were in the beginning there is no character progress for either of them whatever his name is is still with zhenya because Lowkey Stockholm syndrome and he knows he can't run away thats the only fucking reason
I'm not a huge Jaekyung fan but i just think people overreact with their hatred of him. They are legit Caesar fans who hate on Jaekyung which is insane. Dude is a violent asshole and I'm happy he's going through a hard time so can get his shit together, but he was never dishonest about who he was. He told Dan straight up what the situation was and what his job/expectations were, and unfortunately Dan caught feelings (I really hope he's happy wherever he is, he's cried enough).
But yeah, Jaekyung is a mixed bag but people act like he's the devil. He hung out with Dan's grandma when she wanted his company, he saved Dan from those r*pists/debt collectors and offered his home to him, but then he had sex with Dan in front of Heesung without Dan's consent, threw his feelings back in his face and falsely accused him.
It's not a green flag story, and it's not trying to be.
he's definitely nowhere near as bad as they are but he is still terrible and he is still a dark red flag I wouldn't call him a Black flag because he's not a murderer and he hasn't tortured multiple people but he is a dark red flag because of how he treated Dan definitely. but if you're going to hate on him you should probably hate on the rest of the bunch honestly because they're way worse tbf but it doesn't change the fact that he is a horrible person that does not deserve to be redeemed he is no redeeming qualities whatsoever and the only reason why people read this is because of the art I've read stories similar to jinx with shittier art and it gets literally dog piled on because the arts worse that is the main difference
this is kinda off topic but I can call a murderer a green flag if he's sweet on the mc but a rapist will always get a black flag from me
oh definitely but I'd say If You're a murderer you're known for torturing people you torture the main character you murder the main character or you rape the main character any of these things if you do all of these things you're definitely a red flag Caesar and Zhenya are definitely black flags which is why I would only label Jk as a dark red flag considering he did rape Dan and treat him like shit but he still know where near as crazy as they were
