Swapping
i wasn't enjoying this story at first, but at around 20 chapters, everything began to make sense to me, not to mention that the main couple's chemistry just ... fucking skyrocketed. up there in the sky, exponentially. and that was it. that sealed the deal. i'm way too invested now, i can't go back, i need to see our main couple win, and i'm not talking no as an answer. edit: okay so this was completed but i'm not in the mood to finish this rn LAWL
Easy to Notice
red flag, possessive, toxic, manipulative seme. i've encountered this type of semes countless times before, and i enjoyed them, but why am i so annoyed with this one?
Form of Sympathy
Ch77 Can't believe Yuri went from being my most hated character to my most favorite character of this manhwa HAHAHAHAHAHAHA he's still a major red flag, though, in the fact that he's possessive. Great character develooment for both sides!!!!! Just... why did they have to take 40-50 chapters to make progress..... it's was all so heavy to take in that i could not physically binge read this. nonetheless, i LOVE love love the portrayal of mentall illness because it was REALISTIC. Actually, almost everything about this manhwa is realistic, like the characters' personalities???? They're so distinct from one another and so full of depth they're almost human. a living, breathing human. This alone sets Form of Sympathy apart from other manhwas. The art. GOSH. the art makes me feel like i'm watching a film rather than reading a comic. I'm totally in love. edit: i finally picked this up again after ... what, almost two years? i had to read again from the start because i forgot everything already. but whew boy. this was just as BEAUTIFUL as i remembered. my sentiments didn't change much. the art is a cinematic masterpiece. this author is at the top of their league in terms of paneling, anatomy, and composition. i'd love to go more in depth about the art but i'll make a separate review once i put this on my other list. anyway, the writing is SO GOOD. the pacing and the flow of the story is as smooth as butter. the dialogues sounded natural. all the characters have depth. the romance is different, and i mean that in a good way. their relationship is not the typical one you'd expect from a bl, and i think it was fairly unique. it was two individuals whose broken pieces fit into each other quite well—not totally satisfying, but ultimately it makes the most sense for them to be together. i just felt the fluff lacking, is all. but their love is undeniable.
