Spring Snow (Odongtong) Webtoon
yknow, i went into this knowing it would be sad, and i really enjoyed it a lot, but for some reason i'm not sad. i think its bc he died while fulfilling his dreams and they were able to have a proper goodbye. its upsetting that he loved him, but he also chose to adventure in the world even while knowing that he wouldnt be with his lover, so that was a decision he made. ofc no one expects that theyll die, but i think it was a less painful ending than if he had died after falling off the roof. still, this is so good for smth thats only 3 chapters. i enjoyed it! 8/10

okay. i loved this. im feeling so many SO MANY emotions rn for all the characters and im just mostly upset that its over. god. i dont know. im most perplexed on how to feel about yul. i understand that he was definitely fucked up and he was insane to go to the lengths he did. even in their relationship he was overly possessive and literally provoked a guy into harassing her knowing that she had severe issues with men. thats AWFUL and i know that. but i cant help but feel so fucking bad for him. his home life was abusive and refused to nurture him and he was bullied for no reason bc of his face. i can understand wanting to keep safe and being possessive of the frist person that was kind to you. mostly im just so glad he didnt die. its been a little while since ive cried so hard over a fictional character, but yul really made me sob. i just pity him so much. hes also so beautiful but terrifying at the same time i spent far too long staring at the panels of just him, even when he was yuri (especially her fits, they were sooo cute). i think it says something abt how great of a character he is that i loved him so much despite everything he did (maybe the fact that he looks exactly my type also has a role in that yikes). i really wanted him to have a happier ending. it was left pretty ambiguous but i suppose knowing that he was able to move on is enough. i swear its always the characters i care most about that are given ambiguous endings. i really liked yujin a lot, even from the beginning. he was adorable once he fell in love w her and after the timeskip but i loved the brief banter we got from them in the beginning too. i was able to root for him and sian even while lowkey rooting for yul bc of how great yujin was. sian made me a little angry at times but i did like her character development after the timeskip. and i think given everything she went thru she has the right to be a little weird. the art is gorgeous of course and im really happy that i was able to read the majority of it on lezhin. i enjoyed this sooo much i started worrying about it ending from like chapter 20 loool. i was also surprised that this wasnt a BL tbh i went into this thinking it was. i was also expecting smut, which HONESTLY wouldve been the only thing to make this story better. overall, 9.5/10 i really enjoyed it a lot and i wanna reread 100%.
