You can still easily access the chapters here on mangago
Go to the section labeled Comments (not Topics. "Comments"-- where they have the little "agree" button next to each one)
Hit "More comments >>" at the bottom of that section
Then you just scroll down on the page it takes you to and you can hit the big orange button that says "Start Reading"
There are only 97 chapters here tho and idk how long the full thing actually is
He's so adorable!!! ToT his character design as a little kid is so cute i just want to squish him
I'm a sucker for cute age regression
But istg if the author makes this weird I'm gonna be so upset idk if I could keep reading this . . .
Okay but like
Her boobs are genuinely distracting in an annoying way (for me at least)
Some panels they're twice the size of her head
Do me a favor a measure the size of your head with your hands and bring that down to your chest. See how obnoxiously large that is? Yeah, now double it.
Idk as a person with, frankly, a large rack it has me shaking my head lol
Also, yes I know it's hentai and I wouldn't normally bat an eye, much less comment but I really like the art style otherwise so it bugged me in this case for some reason -u-
Plus I also just think it would have been nice to have a girly who ACTUALLY has an athletic build with visible muscles rather than just being gaslit
Sized for men?? Maybe but definitely not sized for a dragon
I can't help but imagine how uncomfortable that'd be to wear when your dong is that FUCKING MASSIVE
Why are so many people popping in just to be like "I dropped this forever ago, why's it still going lololol"
Also, not sure why people are complaining about the story so much -- every piece of fiction requires some level of suspension of disbelief and the complaints are so minor it has me shaking my head
Anyway, I love this story, I also stopped reading a few years ago but I reread and caught back up just recently. I definitely think it's worth reading.
Most plot can be devised from "what does the main character want?" And "what is getting in their way?"
Yes. The lady does still want to rest. But she literally cannot die (the final rest that she actually craves) and she literally cannot avoid being the center of so much karmic destiny shit and she cannot just choose to not care (all a part of the curse that was explained)
The plot definitely meanders through different arcs but the only reason they came to this kingdom (for the current arc) was to get one of the things they needed to to end her curse and allow her to die.
She wants to rest. She wants to die. And the plot is actually still relevant to that.
Ffs
I've been one of this comic's biggest defenders
But this chapter pushed me over the fucking edge and I'm seriously irritated
I've related a lot to the characters and the motions they're going through so I thought it was all very intentional and well written
But something about this chapter feels like it tossed it all out the fucking window and I actually don't trust that this author is even competent and isn't just jerking everyone around on purpose
On second thought, it's fucking Dami
Fuck Dami
I hate that guy.
He needs to just like go die quietly off screen or smth
The recent chapters with Dami were actually okay ? He has some interesting interactions with Joon
But the way Doha reacts and interacts with Dami feel so fucking unacceptable I fucking hate them and this chapter reminded me of that x100. Doha does not have the acceptable boundaries in place when it comes to Dami, especially knowing Dami still likes him and knowing how Dami has treated (and continues to treat) Joon since highschool (something the author themself just completely moved on from as if he wasn't totally manipulative and abusive)
Everyone has been pissed as fuck at Joon especially for not communicating (and yk choosing to have sex instead of talking, but that's a fair point actually) but it's FUCKING DOHA
Throughout their relationship, he hasn't shown up for Joon and hasn't proved he's a safe person for Joon to be emotionally vulnerable with and still prioritizes his friendship with FUCKING DAMI (fuck Dami, Jesus Christ)
He has this moment with Joon where things are starting to look up when they've been really tense for a while but instead of just being there in the moment and being with his boyfriend and maybe working to figure things out and continue to bridge the gap that's been growing between them by playing out this nice moment, no let's make sure we answer this very urgent call from Dami.
And the worst part is how the author seems so nonchalant about how toxic Dami is and has always been. He's played almost like a comedic foil to Joon rather than the antagonist he actually is.
I'm really just tired at this point . . . This has been one of my favorite stories until this point, despite all the jerking around and lack of communication. I thought the author was really doing something but this just feels stupid now and I don't know if it's even worth it to see how they end up.
Dami and Doha have places one and two on my shitlist, but the author themselves is slowly clawing their way up to #3
Holy shit, he got off way to light
At the very least, when the older brother realized how much the ML was struggling, I wanted him to also learn how big of a piece of shit Heesu was
He got to be sneaky and nasty and just gets away with it and has no real fall from grace and it's boiling me from the inside out
Damn that actually felt so satisfying
Because yesss, he's lived ages thinking about what he's done and feeling proper remorse and he got to have his cake and be close to him and be his brother
He could see him happy and carefree again, unlike how things ended up between them last time
And then he put distance between them himself as they grew up, not being overly clingy or using his relationship to him as an excuse or even his ignorance or lack of memories, which feels really respectful imo
And now that all the memories are back, he expressed his desire to see him occasionally, but accepted the rejection and walked away and respected the boundaries that were set
He learned, he grew, and actually changed to be a better (and knows he isn't owed shit despite all of the above)
(This all goes out the window tho if he does even a single thing to indicate he still plans to breach boundaries, but it didn't feel like that at all)
Lot of people criticizing in the comments but I think it's really cute so far
I'm a sucker for an established relationship that doesn't take sex too seriously
Cuz honestly, if you aren't a virgin, you should know that the "serious/sexy atmosphere" isn't there every time and it's more relaxing and fun if you don't take yourself too seriously
So yeah, they seem cute and comfortable with each other I love it :>
(Also, I'm not sure why the anatomy is bugging people, it's not the best but it's definitely not the worst I've seen. Maybe I'm just used to ignoring it)
I thought the outfit was silly but in a fun and expressive way, but reading all the other comments about it kinda made me feel sick to my stomach.
I don't want to engage with any of them, because they all just feel genuinely mean.
One was asking how a gay man could have a bad fashion sense (which is a stupid stereotype in the first place) but also fashion is incredibly subjective
Plus Seon-woo is totally autistic coded imo, so clearly his view on fashion is unique and always has been. It's based on the things he genuinely likes and wants to wear, not by societal expectations or tends.
I think Seon-woo is incredibly fashion oriented and seems to genuinely enjoy fashion. The idea of a "good" fashion sense depends entirely on how trendy someone is, and Seon-woo (especially in his own mind, where he can actually wear whatever he wants) has no desire to follow trends
I don't think there's a problem with having both fan translations and officials
I (like many others) like to read both
This isn't an official site so it's not like you can make the rules as to whether or not fan translations should be uploaded ahead of officials
I could understand the issue if someone else was uploading officials when you'd already bought them to upload
But you'd still be supporting the author ?? So what are you whining about
The only case I could really get behind this energy is if you were personally working to scanlate a work and someone uploaded over you with their own fan translation
Cuz then you've put some level of work and time into it so it is kinda rude at that point
Yeah, the grey hair guy is annoying but there's something seriously wrong with his sisters -- you fuck up one brother so you fuck the other one up in a different way?
The way it showed them tearing him down seemed like it could have actually been kind of emotionally abusive at times (but I digress)
On the surface it seems really fluffy (or like it's supposed to be fluffy) but Aiden gives me seriously off vibes . . .
Like everything he does seems soooo exploitative, like textbook manipulation and exploitation of someone vulnerable and naive.
Especially when they started thinking about sex and Seowon tries to educate himself on gay sex before jumping in but Aiden tells him not to anymore (and anyone who knows anything about sex ed knows that it's way easier to sexually abuse someone who is ignorant). And then when having sex, they talked about taking it slow but that's not at all what happened, even when Seowon was saying that it hurt or looked to be genuinely having problems breathing, Aiden just kept pushing (and at one point I think he said something about being turned on by him being in pain but the translation wasn't super clear so idk, plus the classic "I won't stop even if it hurts" line that I despise, especially in this scenario where the seme seems serious and the uke actually has a life threatening medical condition)
He pushes and pushes but still pulls back when it seems he's gone to far which seems reassuring to the audience and Seowon, but it's only after he's already pushed too far and that seems like a huge red flag to me
And even before all that, waiting to come out until they were already isolated? and then how started putting moves on Seowon (rather forcefully imo) before he even properly revealed he had feelings for him, coupled with Seowon's super naive thoughts and justifications despite his initial discomfort . . .?
Idk it all seems so icky on paper but is somehow swept away by the fluffy atmosphere.
Also the way he's had this crush on him since so young could be sweet but saying he's wanted to sleep with him since they first met seems soooo weird, especially when literally the first time Aiden saw him, he was in his most weak and vulnerable state, which is a weird thing to be attracted to, especially when it was made clear that he was attracted to him in a "less than wholesome" way
I'm probably reading too much into it, cuz I really do want this to be a fluffy and sweet story, but so much of it sounds way to similar to every story I've heard of covert sexual exploitation
Reading this has re-sparked my MapleStory hyperfixation T﹏T
