Winter Woods

Complete | cosmos,Van Ji | 2014 released

damn im really glad i kept reading this one! it was really cute. i almost dropped within the first like 20 chapters but i decided to stick w it bc of the good ratings and im honestly really happy i did. the story is so endearing and i loved both the couples so much. at first i didnt really like any of the characters and even winter seemed a little bit off to me but i grew so fond of all of them over time. not so much roy tho tbh i know the most "tugs heartstrings" moment of the story was w him losing his memories and stuff but honestly i just found him annoying and untrustworthy the entire story. what he did was so selfish and even in his most human moments he put his own feelings above winter's. hes not THAT bad tho. i loved adora from the beginning and i thought she deserved so much better tbh but i love her personality and she made zoe into a somewhat likable asshole instead of just an asshole. zoe is so mf fine tho i died everytime he would show up. their scenes and the general pacing of their relationship was lovely too. like watching zoe realize his genuine feelings for her and her unwavering faith in his love for her was great. it makes me a bit sad knowing that he'll eventually have to watch her grow old and die tho. i wonder what he'll do after that. especially since winter is human too now so he won't be there either. jane was kinda meh to me at first and i think my turning point for her was when she started to fall for winter but i gotta say watching her beat the shit out sarah was fucking great. really solidified my feelings for her LOL. shes so badass. OK SO winter. hes literally baby. i love him sm. hes so innocent and kind. tbh idk if its just childlike behaviour but he kinda struck me as someone on the autism spectrum? which only made him more endearing but yeah. brought some well needed humour and innocence to the plot. he didnt deserve the things that happened to him. i attribute most of my weird feelings abt the characters and plot to the odd artstyle, since it was definitely a bit creepy in the beginning. idk if maybe i just got used to it or it really did get 10x better but i really like it now. it totally suits the vibes of the story. i cant say everything in the plot made sense tbh but like i just love the characters sm that ill look past it 9/10
