Tai's manga / #Manhwa(2)

well goodness that was a Ride. there's alot of cyclical thoughts and dialogue on here. its a bit exhausting to read at times. its very dark and fucked up but not scary or nauseating the way killing stalking is. just a very different vibe despite the really creepy beginning. they both need massive psychiatric help tbh but since this is fiction i couldnt help but want those two crazy kids to work it out somehow and then they do! yay? ngl its a bit of an anti climactic ending. i dont think a tragic ending woulda been better just cause it woulda been patently obvious so rather smth less pitch black woulda been refreshing but this ending just felt kind of...idk flat. i think it works better if u read it all together with the final chpt, it feels like a nice reprieve from all the intense emotion and action then. also gonna be honest, didnt care about those other two criminal guys. at all. anyway gonna leave it at 4 stars tho since it was a good and sexy thriller. i think its fair to call it an erotic thriller right?

having read all the chpts and sides now, i decided to bump this up a star. the first 60 chpts while fine are pretty typical romance story that i see alot in het romances and this is just that applied to a campus setting with two guys instead. however! after they become a couple and the story finally delves more into who Dong gyun is and also the homophobia he experienced, the story became 50x more interesting and emotionally affecting. and it was handled in a fairly respectful realistic way. its still def a BL comic so its nothing too deep but considering how rarely this genre which is all about Boys in Love seems to deal with things like homophobia or discussions of sexuality even when set in our real world, i gotta say it was refreshing to see that handled here. it was also nice to see that we get 4 different kinds of queer guys in one comic, albeit we only really get to know two of them. i loved chanwoo he's like some of the real gay dudes i've known and he was also a ton of fun. i would gladly read a whole series about him but i will settle for the Sides instead. his kinky relationship is also more interesting to me than the more vanilla standard one with Jiwon and DG but no question i found myself rly adoring the main couple once they were finally an actual Couple and i only wish they'd gotten together sooner tbh. anyway while i dont love this story as much as other people on this website do, i managed to finish it and find some of its charms by the end. i dont know if i'd call it a Must Read tho.
