Genboxxy's manga / #drama(166)

There are worse works out there. The main couple is fine but it's not really memorable for me, I also get why the uke was kinda dumb at certain points coz u know, he was groomed for a long time, that's something that you can't shake off easily, matter of fact, I think the author could've went harder with it and made the uke come back to the groomer multiple times even with him knowing the implication coz that's how it is with a lot of victims- since they formed certain habits with their abusers, sometimes it's just not that easy to get rid of the attachment. I also like that the groomer was bottomed in that extra and the motive behind the second seme on why he did that; but I do not appreciate it being paced in a way that is fluffy and rom-com, that POS was basically rewarded in the end with a compatible partner WTF. I'd have preferred it if his extra was psychological/tragic where he does get bottomed to be put in place but he actually suffers for it, have him be gangbanged by a group of randos for all I care, or have him go through mindbreak first before actually enjoying it-- that type of character barely deserve any form of sympathy, pisses me off how he got away so easily.

Absolutely fantastic, can't wait for the updates. They have such good characterization, and the mental breakdowns for both leads were really justified with enough panels and chapters. I'm so invested, I can't wait how this is going to wrap up- apparently it's bittersweet (but not tragedy) so I'll keep my eyes out for this one. If ya'll want to reader a similar BL manwha that's also historical + plot heavy with politics + angsty (in just the right way), with a dash of running away and chasing arc + some cottagecore living for the couple + already COMPLETED, then I highly recommend ya'll check out "A Painter behind the curtain" it's also so, so good! It's not colored though but the reading format is still webtoon.

3.5/5 couldn't finish, artstyle, plot, and characters- all not my thing. Couldn't connect with the vibe.
