The art was good for the most part but can I get past the fact that Jaehyuk as 2 right feet and Jehan 2 left feet?
With art like this, these kind of mistakes are beyond grotesque...
But let's all praise the yaoi god for not making fictional gays poop, because once again we have an anus that will let enter more sunlight than the windows in my apartment.
And I don't know if it's just funny or absolutely frustrating to see more character development of the mc in a plain porn manhwa than in lots of real stories... ?
Wasn't there some kind of flash back of some trauma of Ilhoo in one of the first chapters, a messy and empty house with some red sticky notes? What about that?
And what happened in season 2, it didn't even feel like a character development, almost like a different story?
I'm not sure of what I'm feeling here...
Huuuuu...
Alright, where to start?
Well first thing first this manhwa ruined my nippleless top theory halfway through, as if the artist suddenly remembered that tops also have nipples, I'm very unhappy xD
But no seriously. Though I was serious about the nipples thing too lol. The art is kinda weird, the characters seem very stiff and their expressions are... Stiff as well.
The story was meh, I kept reading by curiosity to see where it was going and it wasn't really satisfying especially because since their reunion, the protagonists don't do anything but sex. Too much smut kills the smut, it felt as if the author didn't have anything else to tell so SEX.
Not my thing.
And honestly none of the side characters made sense. The MC's mom is controlling as fck, the antagonist was bland and unlikable, all the side characters are weirdos in their own similar ways and didn't have any purpose beside fucking shit up.
No happy ending pulled out of a random passing by ass to satisfy naive and brainless hysterical fangirls, this was the perfect ending for a story of that genre. Consequences. I soooo love this.
I would have rated it 1* if it had one of these shitty nonsensical happy ending that I see everywhere, even in the most fucked up stories, that was really satisfying.
But where the F did Dylan's freckles go between season 1 and 2?
Look, it didn't make sense, okay?
Fucking story managed to get my pillow drenched in tears at chapter 5, ok?
(My dog died this year)
There was 0 explanation about this time travel crap that came out of nowhere, okay?
But fucking hell it was beautiful.
I absolutely accept this nonsensical shit, because it actually felt hella good.
I don't even want to spoil by giving a detailed review, it was just good, it was so good that I forgive the rich bitch, I forgive that walking red flag of a brocon, I forgive the death of the cat at the very beginning, I forgive the main lead for his questionable attachment to a 12yo kid and I even forgive the time travel, and God knows how I hate this shit as much as fate and omegaverses.
It was incoherent, interesting, beautiful, the art was good and it's been a while since a book jerked so many emotions out of me.
The burdens are never too heavy and get resolved pretty quickly, the main plot ends almost magically, like everyone suddenly see the light and poof, now everything is okay.
It was funny and sometimes even hilarious, but I think it loses in quality after chapter 20, basically when the main couple is formed.
There are so many, TOO many sex chapters, written and drawn like cheap porn and their sexy times are quite, um... Acrobatic lol.
The main lead is a real coward and I don't really understand why if not only for the plot to drag on.
It wasn't horrible but it was far from good.,
Oh, and, hey. Nippleless top again. Adding to my theory.
You're each one half of a whole motherfucker, and why did my comment disappear when I didn't even mention that one publisher that shall not be named down here??
So as I was saying, the story had more potential than a romanticized Stockholm syndrome story and I still wanna know what exactly happened off sight, and I reaaaaaaaaally don't feel like rewriting everything now...
But I got mixed feelings.
I liked it, the story was interesting and the characters were cool but once again, that shit fate thing came in and somehow ruined it.
(It may be too much to say it "ruined" it, but... It made me really slow down the reading)
I liked taehyuk for who he was introduced as, and I also liked the "official mate" one, but as two separate entities. The one that was a father figure for hyo un was sweet and I would have loved him not going physical with the boy he literally raised, even though the feelings and desire of hyo un felt somewhat logical, it still made me uncomfortable at some point.
And the fact that taehyuk was reduced as nothing more than the réincarnation of the "real" main character, it made me sad.
It was quite obvious from the very beginning but it still made me sad, because his love story was no more and turned into some kind of fatality, an unavoidable event decided by some sort of intangible force.
I don't know if I'm making myself clear but I wasn't too fond of this part of the story.
And the sex scenes felt waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long. The art was great tho.
Edit
I see a lot of downvotes here but not much arguments, why don't you little psychos come and teach me the wholesomeness of sexual assaults, huh?
Fucking weirdo molester, nope.
And that brain dead writer too ffs don't just go and fall in love with that asshole editor who sexually assaulted you on your fucking second ever meeting what the hell when exactly do you call the hr and the police???
And that bullshit resolution please tell me it was just a random ass bad translation no bro, that's not what you said.you absolutely said that you wanted to use his look to catapult him on top of the market, like, literally. what was that crap now.
The art was great though.
I was waiting to see what mystery he was hiding in that old house, like a dead body or some kind of stollen precious goods, maybe a dark history for that man who was sticking out like a sore thumb in his hide out in middle of nowhere but... Mh.
Should have checked the number of chapters before making up a real story all by myself, I'm entirely responsible for my disappointment here.
#－.－)
This was awful and it's absolutely not completed
That rapist king needs his head and dick separated from his body
Every time I get frustrated after reading something, I come back here like a reflex.
It's the 17th reread, I guess I'm not so lucky lately
It wasn't that good.
It's an Isekai so of course the plot was gonna be a sieve, and at that it didn't fail.
It had good points though.
The art -especially the food- was good even though the proportions were often off, or was it the perspective? I probably shouldn't point this out but the dramatic panels with the protagonists being twice the size of trucks were... Funny?
The characters were endearing but all in all, their personality were bland and beside Mujin, didn't have any development.
The kids were adorable and I sincerely laughed a few times.
But tbh, that's all.
It certainly can be enough for a lot of people but my suspension of disbelief got dropkicked right in the balls here,
And I think it's because of the author's tentative for explanations.
When you write something as fanciful as an Isekai, there are two ways:
Either you start the explanation that fits the laws of the universe you created,
Or you don't explain anything and focus on the story you want to tell.
Here the author tried to do both but came up with the explanation way too late in the story, and it seriously came out of nowhere, the villain popped out just because she was needed and never had any other roles than to explain the unexplainable with some vague magic power that had no substance or other purpose than to make shit happen.
The word "transmigration" was even thrown there like it was all planned and well thought of but sooooooo far in the story that it wasn't even needed.
So this kind of ruined the immersion for me.
I was okay with following the Isekai love story with its own intrigues and incidents, the protagonist even managed to become part of the universe with his own emotions and storyline, leaving aside his original intention of not tampering with the initial plot very naturally but suddenly BAM!
Here comes the rushed, incoherent and unnecessary explanation of the whole shit that nobody asked for, 10 bullshit chapters for free.
Also they were running in circles for a while, it kinda frustrated me, and their reunion felt really unnatural and rushed af.
He s dead, boy. You were at his funeral.
Doubt it at least for a while, don't just date a zombie because you're so in love ffs
So ... Question time
...just to confirm my theory...
The red head mc is actually the bottom and the meant to be bottom of the storyline in the story is your usual nippleless top?
And pretty badly at that
Can the fortune tellers spoil me a bit please:
What is this about, why is it so disliked and will I become rich in the next 5 years?
But I had to drop it at chapter 2.
It quickly became obvious that it was just some random ass porn but the art seemed nice until they stripped
Dude literally wears his back muscles above his skin wtf looks so weird, like some experimental anthropomorphic alien porn
Fuck, I liked this, it was funny, interesting, well written, original and then this happen???
We had our happy ending, he found and understood love, he made the most of the time he had left, he was stubborn as fck but strong despite the humongous shit he was going through I loved how he developed his game in parallel of what he was enduring and how the feelings were so much deeper than they were introduced at the beginning.
... And then nothing.
"Hahaha just kidding it was all a joke, nothing was ever at stake in this story you wasted your emotions here bitch."
Pwaaaah it's ruined for me that ending was the worst. I believed in this story and gave up my night reading this shit that got ruined in the 10last panels of the last chapter.
The story is ridiculous and hilarious, but the translation seems off.
Yet I have a totally unrelated question and maybe people passing by will be able to answer it:
How the fuck
Do these yaoi dudes
Take off their pants
With their shoes on?
Told ya it was unrelated but I need to know.
