I have to be honest, the story was pretty mid, but I love it so much! The art, the spice, the healthy communication, and constant reassurances. The MC wasn’t some annoying damsel in distress, pitying himself for all the trauma he’s been through and the anxiety he’s suffering from. The ML didn’t try to “fix” the MC. Instead, he supported him while the MC took the steps to grow and heal on his own. That’s what a healthy relationship looks like in real life. Mutual support, not codependence. Too many people go into relationships with the “I can fix him/her” mindset, but that’s not love. That’s control. Real love is about walking alongside someone as they grow, and not dragging them where you think they should be.
I particularly love this convo between them:
MC: …for then and now, I was able to play because of you. ML: You were able to play because of your hard work. Because you practiced steadily… I wanted to tell you that you weren’t staying still.
This is such a fluffy good read. Best thing I’ve read after and in between all the toxic manhwas I’m reading these days lol I’m gonna miss them
