abel is such a good natured soul. he doesn’t even know it’s the prince, but his purity will make the prince who’s been killing abel impersonators reluctantly care for him again, what a talent lolol. honestly i’d be obsessed too if i ever met abel, look at the impact he’s left behind on people he knew for mere months.
also the blonde duke is hot so i really thought the first few chapters, he was an antihero who did dubious things but for the princes sake. whole time he’s the devil the prince needed saving from omg
i thought that they were gonna make abel his love interest somehow in his old body, so i was like um….hows that gonna work wtf, but the reincarnation was so well written and smoothly executed. it makes sense why he’s a fragile twink now, even though i loved his old body and style. plus, his mental status was put on pause for 11 years, so he still has the mindset of an 18 year old now lol. author said NO problematic loopholes here!
idgaf internalized homophobia and intense societal homophobia that’s built into the fabric of the government, the church, the school classroom, it’s something sinister, pervasive and it’s everywhere. it’s fucking hard being (openly) gay in an east asian country, when the alternative is being safe and in the closet vs, now becoming suicidal due to being ostracized of your support circle.
and idc imma support mc through whatever decisions he makes in distress, bc yeah it’s easy to say there’s a handbook to healthy communication but it would be easy in a perfect world where there are no outside factors. life is more nuanced, clearly.
one is talking about golf, the other about gay sex. ouuuu this misunderstanding is delicious and so stupid!!
i thought bada was about to fucking chuck the metal lunchbox at his head and give him a tbi, he has so much self control. i’m emotionally constipated the way mc is, so if i opened up and the nigga i’m being vulnerable to is just cracking jokes with a sinister smile? i’d be going to jail, sorry!
the panel when he gives the hickey and ml bends down so mc can reach his neck and he tucks his hands under mc’s thighs so he has somewhere to grab… SOMEBODY SEDATE MEEEEE IM GONNA FUCKING KMS! ITS NOT A WANT ITS A NEEEED
wish that the cheating arc was wrapped up in a better way, that was way too short for something that tomrmented mc for the entire second novel.
etienne could breathe really hard in rishiar’s direction and he’d lose it. his monkey brain would go ‘omg did he just whimper at me’ like he’s lovesickkkk
this art is rough. i don’t think the artist characterizes the mc well, he looks weak and his facial expressions are weirdly open and overly vulnerable. mc is the same dude who always has a poker face, who felix would do anything to get a reaction out of, and now he’s just full of all these facial expressions and has made a 180? hmmmm
but besides that, it’s just very mediocre. if the author had a reason to get rid of the other artist, that’s fine (allegations of cp is more than enough for me) but i mean is there a shortage on up and coming manhwa artists or what
loveee when ml’s make real human expressions. i’ve realized ml’s rarely make facial expressions outside of maybe wide eyes when super shocked, but it just makes them look like stupid robots and not mysterious, cold male leads. jitae looking genuinely devestated and sad is heartbreaking! just read gig of the day, and my god that bitch does NOT move his face! most we get is a vein popping in the jaw lolol
if i was smarter, i’d blame it on misogyny w a sprinkle of heteronormativity, and explain how something something, seme’s treated as the man and uke’s treated as the woman, something something women stereotyped as emotional and hysterical and men are sooo calm and rational and thus expressionless. ty for coming to my ted talk..?
nooo i’m sad that the long haired homeless teen is dead. he seemed so innocent and sweet, i blame that doctor that works with seok. the kid immediately got scared when he came to their cafeteria table, he’s def up to some nefarious shit.
mc is better than me bc im hitting up dispatch not even 10 minutes later. BOOP there goes your idol career! i would’ve put a stop to that shit swiftly, every knet website would’ve had a post from meee. i wish mc gave a fuck sometimes, but i know ml might handle it bc i hope this bullying backstory isn’t steeped under the rug.
ik mc says that’s just how he is, but do these things really just slide off your shoulders like water? does none of it hurt, or none of it stick to you? i wonder if he internalizes what’s said to him even if he doesn’t react outwardly (i.e. when he’s treated like an alien, he treats others as aliens)
like i wonder if he’ll reach a boiling point where he lets everyone get some. or maybe he really is alien in nature (i say this lovingly). he def doesn’t give as much of a fuck about conventional things the way most people do, and i love that, but i wonder how much of the cruelty he dealt with had a toll on him. clearly it is now, with how hes convinced ml will leave him and the relationship won’t last long, but iskkk
whenever i see the kid i can’t help hearing “who’s damn white baby is that?” LMFAOO
this is not a revenge story y’all. taeshin is merely a plot device, and what happened to him is what propels the main characters to meet. even without him, they would’ve ended up in this same scenario bc that’s just the nature of these two.
SPOILERRRR ml does go to jail for a little bit due to the mc, i think on embezzlement charges? but mc misses him and feels bad so he gets his sentence reduced LMFAOOO. sorry i love these two losers!
omg this shit is sooo addicting. i love mc’s blase attitude, like he really doesn’t give a fuck about faking being a conventional person. he will fuck to get what he want, whether it’s enjoyment or a piece of bread LMFAOO. just does whatever he pleases, he’s not spineless at all
and if anyone is curious, ml never rapes or sexually assaults mc. i can only read toxic stories that doesn’t have SA between the leads imo. he prevents it from happening twice, actually. ml is still going to the pits of hell for taeshin, but he’s so compelling.
kwon is turned on by kitchen incompetence lolol
sungho: gosh, i can’t seem to boil this water
kwon, taking off his shirt and stripping: god that’s so ridiculous take off your pants
BAHAHAHA how long was he hiding that in his back pocket LMFAOOO
mc still doesn’t realize that rishiar would sooner slit the throat of everybody in the imperial palace than leave him on his own lololol. i’m excited to watch his journey to realizing he’s a valuable person in his own right, and he is very beloved to the point of insanity.
