Came for the Yaoi. Stayed.'s manga / #Dragon(3)

Needa be in a better head-space to judge. But here it goes. Simple protagonist and absolutely no issues with the plot. It was perfect. In a way that simply was not to my taste. I loved the romantic vibe between them. I loved their romance, their passion in their love (Not talking about the sex, here, I'm talking about that eternal love) I really thought they were good. Alsooo, I reeaalllyyyyyyyyyyy liked the implementation of jayoung seeing them fucking and lusting after MC ;P ;P It added spice in a way that wasn't getting in the way of the plot (Because it really didn't!!) intriguingly~ Oh and the side cast was alright, too.... It just... Didn't feel /personal/. It didn't have that unique vibe. It was nice. It was sentimental in a cool way, too. But it really felt like something wasn't as it should be. Not saying it wasn't emotional!! I cried at the ending in satisfaction at their reunion in a way that felt real and right, but... Something wasn't MINE. Lolol, beginning is very "Isekai world", all characters paragons of muscly sex-gods, the Yellow Dragon was cliche as a love interest (though he wasn't as brooding as usually they were. He was much MUCH more accesible as a character. Very different in that way. But the design, sexual nature and brooding, posessive protectiveness was cliche as fuq XDXD) O H ! I finally found the problem for me. There was too much action in the bedroom and his dreams, without them actually DOING much together. Apart from conversation and reliving past lives together. They both left the castle on an outing O N C E ! Seriously, not joking. Drama was some there, sure, but.... In the room they were always fucking in. I get that it was actually an important part of the plot, sure. Really, I like that, too. Just a little outside of the bedroom should have been adressed. I think the most interesting moments for this webtoon for me were.... 1. Their meeting and the interesting balance in the protagonist's life between the Dragon and his Family then. How he was clearly enjoying smooshing that sEXY DRAGON D I C K, but also needed to get back to his family in time for his niece's graduation. 2.That wierd bad guy. Seriously, the problem stopped that soon? Really? Why. He wasn't likeable or interesting for a villain, but I do wish they could have done more than just leave it there... If he was even introduced in the first place. His irrelevance to the story makes him feel.... Like a waste of screen-time. Honestly. I think they could have replaced him with something a lot more interesting and it would have been a better use of pages. But that is just a nit-pick, I think the author had their own reasons and I wouldn't dare suggest they shouldn't implement something that they want. 3. The idea of the ending. That him waiting in the end had always been worth it. That he lived out his life happily, savouring the little moments forever while waiting for him and in the end it was worth it. I loved that bit. And I cried when I felt it. Beautiful ending. But, yeah. A lot of it felt too... "webtoon-y". More like the blonde "Oh mi gawd" girls than a real woman, you know? Like that villain chick who immediately looked like the most cliche villain in the world the moment I saw her mouth. Seriously. It's all in the mouth and pointy eyes for the villains. Oh, and sexy outfits for females. Definitely XDXD Anyway, yep. A lot of side-characters felt like regurgetations of webtoon cliches, but I don't have a problem with it at all this time. Why? Because they did their fucking jobs in the story and worked with it well. It didn't feel out of place at all and I am satisfied with seeing them there. That female villain did her job and I didn't need an explination for her, because she just wasn't that kind of character. Same goes for Pig and Rat. And Ox!! They worked. I'm happy with them. Not to mention!! The important characters weren't cliches anyway. They were almost cliches, like what I earlier said about the Yellow Dragon, but hey, even the MC was... FINE the way he was almost classical MC. All in all, the story was fine. Just felt like it wasn't my style, which is why this rating is a personal one for me. I definitely do not regret reading this, I think that was a great decision on my part. But this story is not for re-reads for me, as there's just too much that feels cliche, I'm sorry. 5/10

NO RAPE AT ALL

So, I liked our dragon MC more when he wasn't ready to torture everyone who hurt his man. I felt like he was special at the very start of his story. Also, he suddenly turned into this threatening protector after the 4 year period and I have no idea why. I'd like some kind of explanation, please Fell in love with the fathers at first sight XD Remember thinking "they'd make a great story about how they hooked up" and there was a story about them!! Not as... Impact full as I would have wanted. But fun to read. I liked how Blair fell in love and hpw he admitted it to himself in his flashbacks, after he confessed. So... Nice story. Cute as well, when we involve the kid. Loved all the moments the prince sent poor bby dragon (lolol, his name is completely irrelevant to me- OH! Loubi, Lou for short!) flying, for fear of them being caught in an intimate position XD Also, it felt like some nice dejavu for it to be repeated with Jude (dad 1) pushing away our boy Blaire (dad 2) lolol. Prince himself was endearing, because of how he was falling in love with MC's kindness despite being a cold dick. For the plot... Looking back, the fact that the blossoming romance between the prince and dragon in the first half of the main story was so soft saved everything for me. Because the story was pretty intense, with the evil wife and her psycho brother (which was hell of a duo, and needed WAAYYY more screen time!) fighting for fucking over the poor Prince's life. The Emperor was some whore who was slowly deteriorating and just there for the angst and emotional turmoil of the Prince, I swear- but. The second half of the plot was where it got rough for me, ngl. Lou, our sunshine, is now with constant homicidal thoughts??? The prince just gives in to everything Lou says, and if he doesn't, he will??? It's s romance turned angsty and low-key (very lowkey, mostly because of how homicidal Lou is) possessive, paired with the emperor dying, Lou's mother's carcass being finally shown (speaking of, what tf happened to it? They promised to the family to cremate it. Maybe it happened and it just wasn't a scene..).. Just... Dark, if not for the bright, happy colours and starting romance. The sidestory of the fathers was also blossoming, so that's there enough, but vears into miserable territory. So yah. Don't recommend a rr, but it was okay as a first read.
