apopoi's manga / #love it!!!(6)

Want some wholesome read as well

I love everything about this. First of all, the characters are spectacular. The MC is amazing, he is lacking in so many things but that is compensated for his one useful asset : his brain. The way he maneuvers through situations by reading the situation, people, expressions and body language, tone and arrive at a sound conclusion is a sight to behold. I don't even try to think anymore, whatever Nagyun says, I'm like 'Yep'. At least more people know about his identity now so the risk is significantly reduced. The plot itself is pretty solid. He is trying to enact revenge or vengeance whatever you call it to the murderers of his prodigy brother, Najin whom he assumed the identity of. Further down the line, we find out Najin might be a member of 'The Descendants of the Dragons', and he betrayed them so therefore he was killed. But there has to be more to it, right? They called him 'A child of the fire' so he must therefore be extinguished. The fact that Najin sacrificed himself for our MC by killing himself with MC's hand since it was the only way to ensure MC's survival is heartbreaking. Also that silver-haired knight was the only one who figured out MC's identify from the get go without any hints. And she seems to deem MC important. So our pal is a descendant of the dragon too..he conveniently lost his memories but when he regain them, he will change, won't he? I like him as he is now. He was implied to be strong from the flashback scene. Also our MC, is he special? Is he actually the 'child of the fire'..it would be incredible if he isn't as that would go against the usual norms of this genre and that itself fits into the theme of this manga. I also love how the MC is not blinded by revenge, he did not leave his companions to die to chase after the people who could give him information on his brother although they were seriously injured. His ability to read people and mimic the 'aura' that only skilled people can sense is so intriguing. No matter how formulaic the plot gets when MC faces hurdles, he overcomes them by bluffing, I look forward to it every single time. It doesn't become redundant. Also Nijin must really love his brother, huh? So why the secrets? Was that his way of protecting him? The way he was enlightened about his power was because the MC was seriously sick and he felt powerless and resolved himself to get stronger to protect him. The theory that Nijin might actually be the one to start the fire in the village and the MC took the blame for it is also highly plausible. The way the MC commands people using psychology and his glib tongue will never bore me. Him analysing situations and acting on it is my absolute favourite. His quick thinking is so attractive. Him being bullied by his brother's "lackeys" was annoying and unpleasant to watch..just why? Blaming a child for that is so wrong. Even the adults, spitting on him, seriously?

This is it, the perfect mix of shounen-ai and yaoi. The ml is not overbearing to the point that it feels suffocating but enough to fulfill that craving and the MC although a pushover and a naive person has some degree of backbone and a stubborn personality to him. The sex scenes are so intimate and personal that it feels like we are intruding on their space rather than the author flaunting that they can write a smexy scene that is droolworthy. Ahh their dynamic is seriously adorable and it is not unrequited. The ML is as much in love as the MC is though he refuses to date him for personal reasons alluding to the fact that he is an orphan and the very relatable reason that he can't even look after himself so how is he supposed to care for another person? UPDATE (6/3/23): I am caught upto ch50 and the translations are not the best. I was under the impression that I hated clingy and crybaby uke but this uke Dojun is just so soft and squishy that I can only adore him. Jaehee is lucky, also his type is a puppy...the lengths he went through to get close to him was funny. He found his ideal type, what other girls he dated found to be burdensome like his possessiveness, persistence, walking home everyday and excessive skinship..he welcomed all of it. Also Dojun doesn't have a single muscle in his body..his tummy is so soft and I like how when Jaehee touches it, it has some fat to it

I always wanted to read this from the moment I saw it on my FYP. I just knew instantly that I would like it, it's one of the few mangas that I feel like no one can hate. The story itself is simple yet in its simplicity there is perfection. I love the art, the characters, their story arcs, the way they interact.. So everything basically. The thing the ML said to the MC about his eyes "Your eyes that were able to see through me/everything"... that is the perfect description for the MC. His eyes were the thing that attracted me to this manga in the first place. I had some misconceptions too, mainly to do with the ML.. I expected him to be more jaded, tough, depressed, heartless etc. But this is so much better, I couldn't have hoped for anything else. I like how pure, delicate, sweet, gentle the MC is..

I love love looove this!! Obsessed actually! I love the bear Karlan, I live for his demure self. He's so huggable and comfortable and soft.. All things good. In contrast we have Ilya with her sharp tongue, business acumen and loveliness. I love them together. I hate that the ex fiance resembles my Cale saur much, that I can't hate him fully.. Ugh.. My Cale!! I love Ilya's family.. The daddy being a pudgy man with a deep appreciation for art and getting along so well with Karlan is chef's kiss. The mom is more strict and rigid but I love her temperament. The older brother is of course a siscon, him and his glasses will be the death of me I swear! I don't want to talk about Karlan's family.. I hate his mom, dad and elder brother. Even getting the spoilers that the mom treats him that way because of the brother's intervention doesn't ease the blow one bit. What a horrible human being.. He's a child. Even if you think he stole your jewellery or put a dead bird in your drawers, you should fucking talk to him. U have my boy a complex. He thinks he's ugly! He feels guilty over the most minor things and his insecurities are eating him up.. Ugh I hate them..

This is art. This is cinema. This is perfection. Oh my god! I have no words to describe this masterpiece. I thought the main story ended perfectly yet the side stories elevated it to another level. I love Geum ho...I love how tainted he is,how strong he is,how desperate he is,how full of love and how kind he is to Beom. He is so complex,his desperation is what entranced me to him. When he fears Beom would be angry at him,with that helpless look in his eyes asking him to forgive him. I love the scar across his neck, I love his tired eyes,his red eyes...I love how he calls Beom a brat and indulges him. He is so stupidly in love that I can't help but be in love as well. I love his younger brother and Soon together, everyone got their happy ending in this life. Beom is so precious. Best Boi fr. I admire his unconditional love, how he always thinks about and put his feelings into words. The scene where he saw his mama and cried while asking if she were really there and if it was an illusion. The prince is a psycho. He is obsessed with Geum Ho and his ex. About the ex...I don't understand something. His wife is the princess and her older brother is the king yet the prince is from another lineage or what? Are they related? I don't understand. This is so amazing! I love the way they rested in theor past life,under the wisteria flowers where all theory wishes came true. The way Geum Ho was embraced by Beom and they died together. My heart! Geum go being a gangster and wearing that bikini and panties...ugh so hawt!
