i’m ngl. i usually avoid gl because reading manhwa and manga is an escape for me and the glaring misogyny in gl just snaps me back into how the world really is and it makes me contemplate way too hard. so it’s not that i don’t like gl, it’s just hard for me to read because to me it’s so realistic and reflective of my life. and i’m sure many other women’s life asw full of misogyny. i just came for a lighthearted read without having to meet more misogyny that i already notice and experience irl. but its good to digest it in this format too, this gl was exceptional in terms of depicting misogyny and made me contemplate a bit. i’m not done reading it yet but i just wanted to share my current thoughts and feelings and see if anyone relates? if this even makes sense, it’s 1am right now and i should be sleeping

seoan wondering why woowon couldn’t just break away from his father was kind of hypocritical when reflected with his own home situation. you can’t be frustrated at woowon when it was never his choice to begin with when he’s had to live that way his whole life. and ww even mentioned this, i’m glad he stood up for himself. other than that, i love these two so so much and i see myself in both of them as depressing as that sounds. life is hard, but it has its beauties. can’t wait for the next season

are there any manhwas similar to this?

perhaps turning?

i’m kind of confused by the translations of ch 8. pages 28 to 30. what are they trying to tell? if anyone that understood and got the gist could maybe explain that would be great!! and i’m actually super glad that this is getting translated, online translator or not it’s understandable for the most part so thank you (▰˘◡˘▰)
Beryl felt lonely because Viryl never requests Beryl to do things that benefited Viryl. He only asked things to Beryl for the sake of Beryl's own good (Beryl's growth and health), which made Beryl felt like he's no use to Viryl. He feels like he's the only one benefiting from their relationship.
So when Shaia asked Beryl to "need him" and be Beryl's priority, Beryl feels like he's needed and he's useful for Shaia. Thus makes him feel like he's not in a one-sided relationship
ahh that’s along the lines of what i was guessing, thank you
