Settling down after a life of wandering — the chaotic love story of a bounty hunter and a grifter
I loved the unique setting in the Far West, which is quite uncommon for Asian BLs, as well as the cat and mouse dynamic between the characters.
It’s great that the ambiguity around Johnny’s nature as a scammer or con-artist remains unresolved until the very end.
On the other hand, I think some aspects could have been explored more deeply, including Johnny’s actual past beyond what he tells, since we know it’s partly true and partly embellished or made up. Similarly, the character of Bill could have been developed further. He’s the man from the gang who chases Calahan throughout the story, seeking revenge for a moment when Callahan showed him mercy in the past, which ended up humiliating him.
Also, it’s a bit hard to believe that these two fell in love in just ten days. However, it does make sense that they built a strong connection based on a powerful chemistry, considering they saved each other multiple times during that time span.
Even though they began their journey as a bounty hunter and his prisoner, they ended it as lovers who, after a lifetime of wandering for different reasons, finally settled down together and found peace. But the story ends on a cliffhanger, because we know that Bill has escaped from prison, and this peace they’ve found could, at any moment, come crashing down.
A sequel or some side stories would certainly be very much appreciated.
