Harley's manga / #Historical(6)

I'm losing my fucking mind

Absolute masterpiece. Started this years ago, and stuck till its end. I loved the pace, loved Seungho's character development. The art is absolutely gorgeous. I can't put into words how much I love this manga in its entirety. Their stories were so tragic, but I'm so happy that in the end they could finally live together in peace. Absolutely adore both Seungho and Na kyum. Planning to read the side stories too (which will come out in the summer). This manga I believe will hold a special place in my heart. If I were to be objective, yeah ig it's kinda Stockholm syndrome, but idc they're cute and the character development made it worth it. A rocky start but I'll excuse it. I liked it.

VERY GOOD VERY GOOD. I enjoyed the storyline, it was funny, and the smut was good (both actually enjoyed themselves). JOHNNY WAS ACTUALLY THE SCAMMER SO DAMNN BROOO. It was too short :(( I wanted more. If it was longer the pace would have been better. It would have been smoother if it was longer and things took their time to expand. There were some weird cuts also because of this. But I still really enjoyed it :DDDD. Bro became a monkey for two chapters and it was never brought up or questioned after.... Are we really gonna ignore that???????

THIS WAS REALLY GOOD. I really loved the plot. It felt full, and yeah some things were silly, but better than an empty or boring plot. The characters were well rounded, with valid emotions and consistent character. The relationship was healthy. Loved that he was his BROTHER'S tutor, not his own. Otherwise it would have been freaky. Things didn't just disappear - ex. Fred - they kept coming back and having a good explanation and finish to them. Jace's worries about their relationship due to the homophobia he had faced was soooo saddddd, but I liked that it was a consistent and serious plot point in the story. Honestly was not expecting that much smut, and it felt silly at times, especially when it was fight sex. But whatever. Fred was crazy. Die. Jace is so much stronger than me. Bad situation after bad situation he found himself in, and bro was completely fine afterwards that's a piece of bad writing tbh. If I were Jace I'd have killed myself ngl. I think their reunion and finale where they finally decided to be together for good despite the gossip could have been done a bit better, but it's OK. I really liked how they gave us a little update in the special chapters too. I wonder how Jin is, but not that much. He was there for the drama only honestly, but thanks for taking care of my bro Jace . I think the two characters, especially the "bottom", are such a breath of fresh air for yaoi. They both look like men. Masculine men. Like how the majority of gay men look like irl. I liked that. Jace was such a relatable protagonist, especially at the beginning. Carlyle is a shit name. His parents DESPISED him. Very fun read.

Now this was crazy. The art pulled me in, which truly was beautiful, but I can't lie, at times, Bau looked fucking insane. Bro kept bulging his eyes and omg he looked psycho. Was he trying to look seductive or something? Cause he failed. Miserably. It was an insane manga. Idk leave me alone. I'm confused. The deer haunts me. ️brilliance️ Gao Ying is an uncanny valley baby, even more uncanny WHEN SHE TURNED INTO A DEER. Idk man idk. This was a ride. I hated the dancing. ️brilliance️

This shit was good. Honestly I had a lot of fun reading it. But I just can't give it more than 3 stars. 1. The protag was UGLY AS FUCK HOLY SHIT. Not even cause he's feminine looking, bro was just UGLY. Thankfully his eyes SHRANK by the end of the story. I couldn't look at them. 2. This doesn't take away points but I needed to mention it: the names are horrendous. I can pronounce Korean names easier than THESE. I can't even type them out. Where does this take place? What is the origin of the names? Are they of German origin? British? Scandinavian? Idk. They are a first for me for sure. 3. Honestly loved the side couple more than the main couple. Emillette was so dense holy shitttt. I felt so bad for Etzel. He was sweet. The kiss was crazy and Emellette wasn't even around so it was unnecessary but whatever. 4. The story was good, it had big prospects, but man, fuck, it was stupid. I understood nothing from the world-building honestly. We never found out why the princess and the captain were going at each other, never really had an end to the royal dispute and, yk, MURDER ATTEMPTS AND WHATNOT... 4. We never found out their age difference. I've surmised Sir Waton is less than 13 years younger than the captain. Not sure exactly how big the age gap is though. And it's only mentioned once. 5. The sexual assault was NOT NEEDED. And fuck bro I always hate when they go straight to sex after they've just been sexually assaulted, like- TIME AND PLACE?? 5. At least sir Waton wasn't that big of a damsel in distress. I did like that he protected the princess and later down the line even became champion of a fighting competition. 6. During the attempted murder of the princess, sir Waton somehow sustained a head injury. My question is: HOW?? WHY IS THERE ONE SINGULAR HEAD WOUND AND NOT A SINGLE SLASH OR CUT, GIVEN THAT THEY WERE FIGHTING WITH FUCKING SWORDS?? AND THEN BRO DIDN'T WAKE UP FOR DAYS/WEEKS LIKE YOU FUCKASS BITCH YOURE EXAGGERATING ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS GET YOUR TWINK ASS UP. 7. The captain's character was very inconsistent. He's shown to hate nobles, and yet very easily fumbled when sir Waton told him he wanted to stay by his side the first day they met. Then we learn he thinks everyone that's close to him DIES so NOW he wants to stay away?? THAT WAS BROUGHT UP OUT OF NOWHERE. His character isn't expanded upon enough and not given much thought, so all his actions feel very weird and unnatural. 7. I love that he kept the nephew. Was it that improbable that bro just took from his mother's side? He looks like his mother. Why is it that their first thought is "OH THE WOMAN CHEATED" MOTHERFUCKER LEARN BIOLOGY FIRST. YOU DESERVED YOUR DEATH. 8. "He's been quiet since birth" BECAUSE BRO HAS BEEN TRAUMATIZED SINCE BIRTH DID WE FORGET BRO IS AN ORPHAN? Bro even went to a boarding school cause he felt unloved living with you - HIS UNCLE. BRO HAS TRAUMA. Poor kid lmao. 9. His asking for the father's signature was funny. *holy shit how did I mess up the counting so bad??? I'm not fixing it.
