cocoh2o's manga / #Nice Art(273)

moving to read 7/10/24: caught up on ch 3. although holy moly the translation on ch 3 is terrible. story is somehow still worth reading though.

there wasn't really any conflict, it was all fluff. all the conflict is simply attributed to MC being extremely dense as a personality trait. and then Chae-heon randomly becomes super possessive in a progressively more gross way, and I was not really here for it. there were some unrequited love feels which made the middle part more tolerable.

The plot was pretty good, romance also good, feels were there in the first 2/3. Maybe b/c I read the last 1/3 on a separate day it wasn't nearly as much of heartwrenching feels as I was hoping. But overall would recommend. No where near as good as solo leveling but gives similar vibes with a shounen ai spin.

20 - where is the plot here? smut is pretty hot though now 26

caught up 17 - wanna know what's going on with this plot but it's all rape rn ugh now 26. wow the official translations are a game changer. makes this so much better. rating increased! excited for updates now 29 plss just a littleee bit more plottt plsss 31 ugh it's back to all rape

being generous and giving this 4 stars because the art is nice. but the plot is not really plotting. I was waiting for some good reveal about why sihyeon even likes juhyeok and the reveal was trashhh. him always following juhyeok around and confessing his feelings and being pushy, and trying to be his "Friend" with an obvious ulterior motive was irritating. I thought juhyeok's viewpoint of being a beta and wanting nothing to do with the alphas/omegas was interesting but it was poorly executed. and the hot alpha bff plotline just evaporated. I think with the art and the premise this author could've really cooked and pulled off some really emotional scenes, but alas the relationships and motivations were half-baked.

caught up at ch 13, plot sucked

caught up at ch 25. regret not letting it marinade more ughh. some high potential for good old feels and yearning. also art is top tierrr - mr. perm is just so handsome now 30

read up to chapter 32 (currently 78 ch out) but will likely drop. art is nice. but the main couple sucks. first of all, dojun's character sucks b/c it's so inconsistent. he's written to be a martyr who is working alll the part time jobs to support his family, and he has no money, and he's working himself to the boneeee!! but in the very next panel the author will go out of their way to show him constantly smoking (huge waste of money), wearing brand name stuff, constantly drinking, sleeping in class and not being able to do his (easier part) of the group project. author needs to pick a lane, b/c currently he's not a sympathetic poor man whose life circumstances are shit -- he is just a loser making bad decisions that keep him in the cycle of poverty. on the other hand, freaking taeseok is a complete red flag. dojun constantly/exclusively says "no" and taeseok ignores him every time and keeps pushing boundaries. his motto is like "you can't say no to having sex with me if i've already ignored you and started having sex with you". just ew. and the kicker is, when dojun flips the scenario on taeseok, taeseok just sulks and refuses to reciprocate. it's so disgusting ugh.
