zeuxis's manga / #bl(221)

ch 64 i stopped liking it the further i got unfortunately. this entire thing very much read like romanticising abusive and manipulative behaviour towards the end and while i wouldve preferred wooseo to end up with neither, i definitely think jiseok would have been the better option… at least he did not stalk and consistently calculatingly manipulate him. i also definitely think the briefly brought up point of maybe his good feelings were just due to the fact he could sleep, especially since sleep deprivation is an actual torture method and can drive people insane, was more than valid. these issues together with their age gap and how jigeons obsession started when they were 18/25 already + the power dynamic just make the main couple feel too icky for me to enjoy. i read most of the chapters after around chap40 where the manipulation was fully exposed with a scrunched up face because i simply did not want them to end up together and jigeons horrendous behaviour to get rewarded like this. yikes edit: i also fucking hated 1) they had a sister which jigeon got to move out so he could romance wooseo that never got mentioned again. fuck her ig. but also 2) how the at first seemingly good relationship between the brothers just had to turn into both of them being super antagonising and mean to each other. awful

ch extra 3 was pretty good, feel like the stalker plot was resolved in a very anticlimactic and unimpactful way. s2 also focused too much on secondary couples and characters to me, the focus was scattered across too many characters

ch5 i feel very eh about it idk the arts nice tho

ch 6.5 this was actually so cute and i rly liked the art style and the characters… also jesus the chief is so hot

ch7 theyre cute

ch 9.5 cute

ch 46 their dynamic was cute and i thought the art, especially at the start, was very uniquely dynamic. way too much sa, dubcon and noncon sprinkled all throughout the story and years for hyesung imo tho

ch 45 art is so pretty, i want niki so bad….
