So I was bored and re-read the whole thing from ch. 1 and I just realized now that Seonwoo is a great representation of adult ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder). To prove this point:
1. He functions best following a routine
2. Communication problems, inability to reciprocate shallow conversations
3. Unfiltered, and tactless, his inability to sugarcoat his words often leads to being misunderstood as rudeness
4. Selective knowledge. Extremely knowledgeable over certain deep topics, but dumb over common ones
5. Sensory issues, in this case, hypersexual sensitivity, his type is he craves stimulation.
6. Overthinker, and calculative. His ability to think situations over, calculate the possible end scenario(s), and plans ahead.
7. Inability to form human connections on his own. Hence he's much more expressive to his pet plants than human beings.
8. Believes his amazing skills aren't that special and that other people should've/could've done it too (his programming skill)
9. The desire to deeply understand things even if it means having people painstakingly explain everything in utmost detail.
Being someone diagnosed with autism late. I now understand why I relate to Seonwoo so much and how I really love his characteristics... This bitch thought he was just likeable, turns out I was projecting
I love how the comments are all united by one passion of seeing our sweet little tree (Namu) be happy. We all agree to the fact that he is, and will always be best boy, and thus he deserves a story of his own.
Funny how he only appeared about half of the entire story and yet captured every single reader's hearts, I'd even dare say he's the most interesting thing that ever happened to this story. My guy singlehandedly took spotlight from both the main characters in a span of about 10 chapters, what a champ
Ngl this shih so based it actually worked.
Literally a bl hodge-podge mix-n-match buy-one-get-one 70% discount clearance sale of a kinkfest and I'm all for it.
If skibidi toilet was a manhwa, this might just be it. Pointless, absolutely stupid, and people will look at you with concern if you try to tell them you read this kinda shih, but having said all that, you enjoy it nonetheless, even if only you get it.
I'd give this dumb shih a 10/10 bc this fxcking get my unhinged and autistic humor. Yes, I'm clinically diagnosed with autism.
THEY'RE BACK! MY BOYS ARE BACK! AAAAAAAAAA THIS IS NOT A DRILL, EVERYBODY STAY CALM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Been so damn thirsty for the next season then we get teased with a surprise update like this? Why not just tell us straight to re-read the whole damn thing for the nth time? We would've gladly abide without a fight
(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Daddy needs milking.
And by daddy, I mean Wonho from MonstaX
Still gonna say my two cents nonetheless.
The MC is insufferable. A fully grown adult with an (irrational) ideal romance of a homeschooled 12-year-old. Yeah sure different perspective yapyapyap, but you gotta be so far out in space to be THAT romantically delusional #－.－) not to mention his prejudice over the hookup culture, bestie pick a struggle (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
ML is likeable, to the point of sus. Yeah I loved him to the core and still feel like he deserves more than MC, but he's got some secrets he haven't revealed himself yet. MC's got so many unanswered valid questions (WHICH HALF WEREN'T EVEN VERBALIZED, LIKE? HELLO? BITCH JUST TALK?)
Anyway, despite all that's said, it was still enjoyable and worth the read, plus the art style??? Gurrrlllll shxt is just so fxcking crispy mmhhh mm *chef's kiss*
Loved it as much as I hated it, so I'll patiently wait for S2 and see how things unfold.
I'm gonna wait for Bingsoo CC's update bc I just wanna enjoy the unhinged English translations after enjoying the Korean.
Just to set everyone's expectectations, first season is already finished around half of May with exactly 50 chapters with a slow-cook typa pace.
Season 1 focused more on the buildup of their chemistry. The season cliffhanger didn't come as a surprise tbph. However, it was more than enough to peek at the plot of season 2 as being romance-focused and I'm sold at waiting for the next season myself ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
I'm unsure when will the next season be but if we follow the typical pattern of hiatus between seasons, we might get it between 3-6mos earliest. ┗( T﹏T )┛
I feel like this manhwa's only saving grace is the art style but yet again that same godly art style got me raising questions with anatomy (i.e: ungodly large body parts, and some awkward jojo poses)
Story-wise, there ain't much, it's extremely predictable, and it's got the most cliché plot of misunderstanding-caused-by-not-communicating-due-to-a-certain-traumatic-incident. It's highkey a culmination of clichés among clichés.
Despite all that I can still see myself finishing this at least.
Is it worth reading? Not really but for the art I guess soft yes.
Would I recommend it? Probably only to someone who's a sucker for art-heavy manhwa, otherwise no.
Would I re-read it? Yeah no.
If there's any similar manhwa I could recommend with both good story and art, methinks "The New Employee" is the closest for the story, and "Guildmate Next Door" for the art.
PS: Reiterating that this is merely a constructive opinion, nothing mentioned should be taken to heart, if you take my words personally, I'm afraid that's not my problem. We can all agree to disagree.
Aight imma get cancelled for this but imma still say it. The characters all look the same. Other than their hairstyles and eyes, everything else is like based off the same face template...
Yeah sure you'll eventually get used to it as you go along the chapters but even after finishing (and now able to distinguish them) I could still see myself comparing their faces and still saying "yeah they really still look the same"
Loved the story to the core, at the very least it's got substance, art is well... decent at best.
Would I recommend it? Sure.
Will I re-read it? Probably not.
Was it worth the read? Soft yes.
As much as y'all think the story is nonsense, just let it cook, you'll see eventually it'll go nowhere but the art and comedy is absolutely golden and the thing about the characters are they are all equally red flags so y'all don't have to fight about who's better, you just gotta pick which shade of red you like better ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I can't distinguish reds from greens so I ain't seein shit (☞ ° ʖ °)☞
Also, as someone who's been in some wild sex before, when I say getting mouthfxcked upside down is deadly, i mean it's actually DEADLY.
I almost died while being spitroasted in that same position. When I was doing the nasty with 2 guys, this guy who was fxcking my throat was also choking my neck so hard, so imagine the lack of bloodflow from the chokehold, lack of airflow from having a relatively girthy dick shoved down my throat plus the balls blocking my nostrils. I was deadass flailing for my dear life, ain't no way in hell I'd let myself be the headline of some news about some fag dying from chocking on a dick. (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
Girlll... and here I thought the bar couldn't get any more lower.
The bar now is so low even Satan is envious.
Other than the insufferably inconsistent art style, I find it hard to understand how some of you paint the story as boring.
Personally I feel like the pace is just right and I like how they juxtapose glimpse of MC's past during relevant expositions throughout the story. Unlike others where we get catapulted to episodes of backstories unexpectedly.
I also like the consistency of the characters, it really felt like these characters fit their image and their age well, even when they're their younger versions in the backstories.
It's also EXTREMELY RARE for a BL confession scene to be an ACTUAL CONFESSION of feelings and emotions, rather than the cliche exchanges of just "I love/like you"s, or the main couple having to " rewrite the stars" (yes the song and its meaning. Just look it up if you don't get it)
I get you're entitled to your own opinion but I'm genuinely curious about y'all's perspective with finding the story boring.
