aranara's manga / #supernatural(5)

overall liked this a lot, very cute, and the conflict/drama was mostly interesting and well done, but some of it, mostly the parts with hajin saying he would make dokyung jealous on purpose, and push him away to test if he still loved him, really annoy me, i hate that behavior/trope bc it's super unhealthy and immature, but eh, it happens irl too; and also the way that everyone was super ambiguous with jaehyuk for like the entire story until the very end infuriated me. like there could still have been conflict to drive the story on if hajin and taehyun had been clear with that brat about absolutely anything, and not just let him run around unchecked and violent everywhere. anyway, decent story, cute couple, mostly good supporting characters, and i love hajin's parents so much.

this was such an emotional rollercoaster, and i went into it wholly expecting irredeemable, tragic ending, heartbreak, but i was floored by what we got instead. the story and characters were so well thought out and fleshed out, the character development throughout the story was so good, and i really love the way that the characters were different from their past lives, even though a lot of the things that happen and many of the personality traits are the same, they still are different people who lived different lives. the only things i didn't like about the story were 1) miscommunication/lack of communication, like especially when the poison stuff happens, the fact that the uke never tries to explain that he was controlled or like definitively say his true feelings/intentions. i just. AAAAAA it drives me insane, but it's a common trope so i can't fault the author. and 2) the way the seme is so abusive to his fucking son over the uke's attention, and how it's just not treated like an issue at all. very weird not a fan of that lol. but overall, i loved it so much
