the ones going OMG APOLLO

and the ones going omg phi noooo

it's no secret that Phi grew up with basically no good role model figure, and while that explains his actions it does not excuse it! I get his paranoia, because sweetie's got a lot of trauma to unpack (and a lot of therapy sessions missed rip) but Phi... PHI

you KNEW Apollo's weakness was that- vulnerability. You showed him your vulnerable side, but was it really all that? I got mad manipulative vibes from Phi right from the start and this just solidified the idea. Although I do want them both to be happy, I just want to say Apollo doesn't deserve that for just trying to help

I'd still give this a shot, because I'm way too invested, and I'm also willing to wait for more character development for Phi. I hope he heals from the trauma, so he can finally fucking realize that Apollo being there for him is already the best blessing he can fucking ask for

I'm mad, but mostly very, very anxious for the next volume

on a side not: thank you translator!! we hope to see you in the next chapter ;-;

i rlly want to see class rep (Tattletale) loosen up, and I low-key ship him with Qi Feng

suffering ldr rn and i want to do all these little things with my s/o so BAAAAAD

LMAO THE STORY DESCRIPTION--

Hot baseball player and the team’s mascot

short and direct huh, I hope this is as funny as the summary

I really, really loved the plot, it might be a bit cliché but the art and the characters kind of made up for it. The only problem is the world building. It doesn't feel like a story told with the intention of appealing, but rather a retelling to someone who already knows what's going to happen.

I've read a comment saying the characters were flat, and it overall had so many plot holes and I agree. It doesn't really make a spark with readers, and the technique of storytelling made it even more confusing and unsatisfying. There was potential, like a lot, but in the end it just couldn't reach it fully.

I feel like I'd have loved this if it were a novel, and a connection could've been made with their past selves leading up to their present ones. Conflict-wise, it was also rather boring, there was no sense of dread or anticipation for the climax and there was barely a resolution. I wish they'd have made it longer, 40-50 chapters at least, with more insight on what the curse entailed and why god was there with him.

Though the Jia reveal was shocking, seeing as I was already got confused with why Jia was still there even though she was shown (through symbolism) to have died.

Korea has this belief about immortal and non-human beings roaming the world in disguise (just watch any borderline fantasy K-Drama) and while I get and respect Jia or God's character, it still didn't really... feel right in the end.

In conclusion, this could've been really heart wrenching but in the end, we got a rather stale story with impeccable art. Kudos to the author and to the artist, I hope this was a teaching moment for either of them.

Hi, queer person here who had to deal with a shit ton of internalized homophobia, here to talk about the difference between fantasy and reality when it comes to relationships. I'm going to take a wild guess here and say the people who wanted Subin to end up with Hyunwoo are either a) straight, b) have never dealt with an unhealthy relationship before or c) are the weirdos who like to over-romanticize BL because Y'ALL ARE LIVING IN A FUCKING FANTASY.

You guys don't get a say in this because you cannot see the story the author wanted to portray, and it wasn't just about moving on from a crush or finding love, it has a lot to unpack about questioning one's sexuality too!

The extras where a handful of characters gave their thoughts on marriage or love just proves that! We have Subin who hates uncertainties because that's all he's grown used to, be it with his love or with himself. We have Jun, who doesn't really care as long as he could have Subin, because Subin makes him feel the love he's been searching for. We have Hyunwoo who thinks relationships are just passing things that have an inevitable end, resulting in him not knowing what to do when he realizes he WANTS an exclusive relationship with Subin- but he was confused as fuck and he brushes off talks regarding his sexuality, too deep in denial to be able to actually give Subin what he wants.

Yuna-noona who was very open-minded about other people's sexualities and relationships but only looked for casual, non-committal partners because she can't be bothered. Min Jihun, the openly bisexual, who's lovesick and stuck and craves for permanence and validation in others.

I'd also like to add that Jihun and Hyunwoo ending the story perfectly loops back to the beginning, because Jihun is exactly what Subin used to be, hung-up in finding happiness in someone else. It just means Hyunwoo has another fool of a friend, while he, himself, still has a lot of confusion he needs to settle.

Jun is not toxic, might I add as well. He was the better choice from the start. Wanna know why? Because Hyunwoo had five years, 5 YEARS and it still ended in a travesty whilst Hyunwoo had months and he still managed to make Subin feel wanted and important and worthy, all the while not making Subin feel dependent on him because he wanted Subin to nurture love for himself.

If anything, Hyunwoo was the toxic one for "experimenting" with his identity with a person who's both trying to move on from him and was already in a relationship. You don't get brownie points for admitting to your wrongs, or not asking for consent, and you most certainly shouldn't be excused for trying to kiss an already taken person! Even if he knew he was going to be forgiven, that was unfair to both Subin and Jun.

Bottom line is, Hyunwoo needs to work with himself (hopefully he and Jihun can work things out) and Jun deserves to be able to love Subin.

While their relationship could use work, arguments and jealousy are all very valid elements! Besides, Jun wants to work things out, in comparison to Hyunwoo who thinks all of that was pointless and they would always have the option to break up anyways. He isn't in the right headspace to be in a committed relationship and that's exactly what Subin needs after the 5 years of push and pull he played, it's also exactly what Jun could give him.

Thanks for tuning into my rant, see you next time in my next read lmao bye

when Bard and Lau hugged i lowkey wished i was in between them lol

so that Polaris dude in chapter 169, do u guys think it's Agni??

I know it's sad y'all but that's the point, because that's how these kinds of meetings usually end. From what we can get, Malena's hinted to be a SW so her needs depend on that man who obviously neglects her. We don't get the other woman's name, but I think she represents a lot of things. She's what Malena suppressed in herself- she was the pleasures Malena denied herself. She's also the problems Malena could have faced, if she was who Malena chose then they'd face a lot of backlash being part of the wlw community and just LGBTQ+ in general.

In short the ending was ... painfully realistic. We can't always choose the path we so obviously want because of certain circumstances, and we'd sometimes have to let go of our own good women to come back to our bad owners.

It's sad, but it's our reality
