i love the art style, the story, and the characters, but it’s so so so dialogue heavy that i sometimes struggle with who’s saying what when. maybe it’s just me. NOT A CRITICISM OR ANYTHING! just a small nitpick of mine.
i’ve seen some criticism about this series that there’s too much smut in here and for me - even though there is a lot - it doesn’t bother me because both Yikyung and Joobin make it fun and hot every time. they’re both head over heels for each other and communicate very healthily that the sex is 100x better because of it.
spitroasting will always and forever be hot as hell
i relate to Eunho… so so fuckin’ hard, man. all my life, i was told that i was easy and calm and got along with everyone. i was taught to never say no, to always help others before myself, that anything i did for myself was selfish. it made me become a terrible people pleaser and pushover to the max that i lost who i was as a person. the phrase of “i promise i’m not dirty”, “you can use me”, “i’ll do anything to make you happy” repeat constantly in my head and it makes me tear up seeing another person go through those thoughts. we know people well because we had to watch them and their emotions, we’re not stupid babies who don’t know how to set boundaries, it’s just super hard for us to get out of that dark mindset.
seeing the blood made my skin boil. i don’t think i’ve ever been more mad reading a scene. i feel so bad for Je-oh; the trauma for some will never go away, both physically and and emotionally. i’m always haunted by my own demons, but i can’t imagine having to be knee-deep in it every day and having to experience it again and again.
i love this chapter specifically because it reminds me of my first time with my ex-boyfriend. i was abused a lot during my childhood and my body has permanent repercussions from it to this day, so when the topic of sex came up with my ex and i, i avoided it like the plague. i was also afraid of truly telling him i loved him because of trauma with past relationships. sex was scary to me yes, but being honest about my feelings was even more terrifying. Shinpei did exactly what my ex did; called me beautiful and said my body is perfect just the way it is and that we didn’t have to do anything further than cuddling. he was my first love. :’)
THE WAIT WAS WAY WELL WORTH IT HOLY FUCK I AM SCREAMING THIS IS SO GOOD THIS IS WHY I LOVE SLOW BURN
how about we go somewhere and get a massage together? some face masks and sushi, y’know? maybe some spicy time between us will help you cool down.
i don’t think i’ve seen someone as down bad as Reo is for Nagi. Nagi just think bro’s a little weirdo and here Reo is thinking about living with him, making him breakfast, thanking the Gods for soccer because they could be together, like… damn dude. (⊙…⊙ )
but their art style reminds me of like 90s hentai. like the uncomfortably realistic dicks and the nakadashi scenes and Doyoon’s ahoge. i’ve never felt such uncomfortable nostalgia. TwT
at first i loved this story, now every chapter is pushing me further and further into dropping it. :/
i think this is the first time where i can’t decide who Xiang Nan should be with. also, Xia Xinyang, hit me up babe.
