this arc feels sooooo much faster paced compared to the novel
the mc is endearingly annoying and the banter is actually funny which is a rarity in most webtoons. i’m enjoying this but i think i’ll let it marinate some more.
dom bottom and sub top is so peak i can’t believe i just discovered this
totally unrelated to the ongoing discourse, i’ve said it before but luke is genuinely one of the most gorgeous characters ever. you can really tell with each panel how much affection the artist has for him. the variety of expressions we got from him this chapter was a feast for the eyes. call me andrew cause im obsessed~
i’m not gonna mince my words, anyone who thinks that the author intends for you to read this arc and “pick a side” and not see that BOTH luke and andrew have flaws they need to work on should not be engaging in any discourse around this webtoon. luke wasn’t in the wrong for not going along with andrew’s trauma inflected pessimistic world view and andrew isn’t in the wrong for getting some much needed space. luke IS in the wrong for not giving andrew’s argument any space and not having a real conversation on what’s causing all these feelings and anxiety in their relationship. andrew IS in the wrong for not communicating with luke how he’s been feeling internally and just skipping town with no heads up to his boyfriend that he is literally living with. i love this arc and i’m sad that it’s become some pissing contest over who’s wrong and who’s right in the fandom.
been occupying my brain for 7 yrs now… wish someone would make a full length story with this same plot
i hate that i love this artist enough that i’ll keep reading this story even though it pisses me off. stories like this really grind my gears because nobody would act like this. idk why this trope is so popular in omegaverse stories especially because omegaverse is just “what if men could suffer from misogyny” and stories like this break the immersion. no one from a marginalized gender would ever continuously put themselves at risk of rape out of pride. i wish more bl authors knew you can still write tsundere gender insecure angry uke stories without throwing logic out the window.
I hope Andrew learns to stop projecting so much of his trauma onto Luke even just a little bit in this arc. I also hope that Luke learns how to better navigate Andrew’s triggers. Overall I was very satisfied with this chapter, Luke stood his ground even with Andrew (unintentionally) guilt tripping him and Andrew left to get some much needed space from Luke (the codependency, although fun for us readers, is deeply unhealthy for Andrew). This is an important impasse in their relationship and I have full faith in the author to be able to handle all of this baggage. Andrew and Luke have to work these troubles if they want to grow together and have a long lasting HEALTHY relationship. Gosh I just love this webtoon so much .
haven’t read such disjointed chapters in a long time, nothing is connecting this plot together just gorgeous art and a dream. also the ages of these characters really confuses me like our mc references being an adult yet his dad gets angry at him because he thinks mc is plotting with his mother to switch parental rights over??? and school building looks like a high school yet they say they’re in the same major so i guess it’s supposed to be university? anyways i’ll give this a few more chapters but if the author doesn’t fix the narrative issues i'll probably be dropping this soon. which is unfortunate because the idea is good and the art is magnificent.
the uke is actually allergic to communication the seme isn’t much better either tbh cause he could’ve just confessed like a normal person ages ago. normally this would piss me off because i hate a prolonged miscommunication trope but they’re teenagers so this isn’t that far fetched to me. the seme is probably do the most obnoxious thing possible and enter them as couple for some kind of public confession which is insane but as something i fully believe a teenage boy would think was a good idea lol.
chiaki saving the tiny bit of sexual leverage he has over the seme (the fact that the seme was his first) is kinda everything to me like that’s my goat
im on luke’s side <3 being jaded like andrew isn’t the solution here. even if luke ends up being wrong in this situation with bruno, he’ll still have friends and loved ones to rely on/support him because of his philosophy. andrew has no one outside of luke, doesn’t even properly rely on him, and that isn’t healthy. im glad that luke is standing his ground on this one.
the reminder to vote for enhypen is so real. remember to vote in the VISA fans choice category for the daesang when voting opens y’all!
they are so stinking cute i’m so excited to see the mc fall in love! the ml sucks at communicating of course but the author handles the trope well so i’m not even frustrated like i usually feel reading stories with this type of ml.
classic chise owaga, starcrossed lovers who are inexplicably drawn to each other plus a conflict 10x more complicated than it needs to be. i wouldn’t have it any other way (❀╹◡╹)
no exaggeration luke is genuinely one of the most beautiful characters i’ve ever seen in manhwa like ever
idk… i just can’t trust derek at all… i feel like he’s gonna get andrew’s father involved somehow please just let these babies be happy ㅠㅡㅠ
