the_dump_truck's manga / #gold star(81)

how long has this been marked completed :o now i gotta reread it. ohhhh nooooo 9.27.20-???? good lord this bl is so horny. it’s horn city. population me i guess. but like gawd dayum. y’all do it so much don’t you get tired??? anyway I DON THINK WE GAVE HAN A CHANCE TO BE GOOD. THE AUTHOR KIND OF FUCKED HIM OVER FROM THE START. CUZ LETS BE HONEST GUYS. NOBODY WAS ROOTING FOR HIM. AND IF YOUR WERE. THEN UM YOURR JUST WRONG. HE JUST WASNT VERY LIKABLE. AND I THEORIZE HE WAS USED AS A PLOT DEVICE TO JUST MAKE HWI LOOK BETTER. BUT HWI DONT NEED THAT. HES ALREADY GOOD LIKE STFU. alsooo i think this bl works better in installments which is really rare to see for me. first because i don’t like reading in installments but also because i just enjoyed it more the first round. i bet it’s cuz it’s more like minisodes. like there is an overarching plot but that’s not really the point. it’s more like oh this chapter they’re going on a date oh this chapter they’re gonna use toys rather than this season we’re tackling the love triangle. but i digress,, this’ll always be a classic for me. 1.29.22-2.01.22

aw that was cute. not gonna lie some of them were kinda boring but they grew on me by the end. i didnt really like the last one. the rest were pretty solid tho. 1.09.22

AW MAN. it was good up to the confession yall. i’m glad people agree with me tho, i was scared it was just me. anyway yeah it was just uncomfortable and rigid. like if you’re gonna do a shonenai keep it like that. don’t try to cheat the system bro. the slow paced slice of life style that this story had going before the confession was its main charm point. but then it just ramped up into something basic and boring. not saying it was bad. it just didn’t meet up to the potential it built up. i also wish they leaned more into soft mirae then tough mafia mirae. like when i read a mafia themed story i’m not here for mafia man. i’m here for mafia man that turns out to be large teddy bear. and while they got very close, i don’t think it came to full fruition. otherwise it was still cute,, it just dropped off near the end. 12.28.21

THATS HOW IT ENDS ?!??!?? IN THE MIDDLE OF A FUCKING SCENE. AM I JOKE TO YOU??? they’re so cute thooooo i want more. we love a tsundere golden retriever combo. anyway serialize it baby !!! 12.16.21

STOP WHY ARE THEY SO CUTE WHAT THE FUCK. AGE GAP STORIES USUALLY DONT APPEAL TO ME THAT MUCH BUT THIS ONE WAS SO FUCKING CUTE OH MY GOD. THE STORY WAS UNIQUE AND INTERESTING SO THATS COOL. IM USED TO COLLRGR ROMANCES AND FRICKEN FRIENDS TO LOVERS WHICH IS ALL FINE BUT LIKE,, COOOOPPXTHEEIIFFF??? DAMN 11.20.21

aw yea that was cute. me myself, if i was kidnapped i would totally fall in love with my captor. double points if their hot and kind. like i know it’s bad but like fr it’s just bound to happen. i also like that this was one shot it was just enough to get an idea of what was going on. not too little not too much yknow. 10.30.21

after reading this ive come to the realization that i am secondary. i am here to fill space in the background. i wanna be a main character >:((( anyway on to the actual contents of the story. meh it was fine the only reason i’m not giving it a three is because everyone else gave it a good rating. it’s very overwhelmingly slice of lifey. like they go to the park and watch movies and do summer vacation. there’s no real threat. and that’s definitely not a bad thing. i was just kinda bored. the one interesting part was the festival with the jealously and the lost kid. i liked the slight conflict that didn’t actually hurt anyone. that’s my bread and butter. 10.29.21

wow so wholesome. something about this really soothes the soul. the vibe of the artwork and the pacing of the story was just very fuuuwaaa to me. anyway THIS WAS SO THEATRIC THOOOOO. LIKE ALL THE EVENTS WERE SO VERY THEATRIC. oh yeah we actually met when we were ten when i got lost in the forest,, you were the only one that saw the true me,, tho i wanted too i couldn’t love anyone else,, and so on. but their both so cute i can’t complain. 10.29.21

damn bro. that was a lot of plot. i thought this was just gonna be like hahaha reverse roles bdsm with vampires teeheheehehee. no it was let’s overthrow the vampirical overlords. i think my first thing is one was waaaayyy better at the beginning than at the end. like holy shit. i dunno i think he just had more personality at the beginning. at the start of the story he was like this twisted complicated cool guy and he had a real mysterious fun aura to him by the end his arc kinda evolved or devolved i guess into this white bread savior shaboodle. anyway i would like to say tho. i fucking love shell. i love him so much oh my god. he’s so aw but he’s also badass. mans knows what he wants. i also want to touch upon ellies while thing. cuz damn he was just so precious. and him burning his eye was- i dunno how to say it. like interesting but also just a very unique choice in my opinion. like it was something that was very close to unnecessary but still a cool choice. i woulda also liked to learn more about white. cuz i feel like we didn’t get enough info to actually learn to like her. we were introduced to her as the lady that kinda “stole” (notice the heavy quotations) ellie from humpty dumpty. i know she didn’t actually steal him and that people aren’t objects or whatever but we’re introduced to her under very negative pretences which makes it kinda hard to root for her. but i still think they’re cute nonetheless. moving on, the smut scenes were top notch. they were good. but with that id also like to add that i could feel their love at the beginning and the middle but not as much at the very very end. i think we just needed like a teeeennnny but more. but honestly i think the story did a very good job portraying the love part of the story. anyway i think i had to more to write but this is all i wanna write for now. kay bye. 10.28.21

BAH that gave me all the feels. i want more back story. i want cute scenarios. it’s just so UGH. i just want more dude. i was expecting a little more insight than the anime adaption. but they were super similar. like down to the panel. eh good nonetheless. 9.30.21
