I'm a bit disappointed with how they rushed it quite a bit. I feel as though there should've been more chapters to actually allow the readers to slowly process the plot of the story rather than js shoving it all out in a couple chapters
Trynna read ts(affectionate) when all it (chp 78) reminds me of my friend's ex.... who was less of an ex, more of a groomer tbh. Grown man screaming, crying, stalking, ect. bcs his underage gf(victim more like) broke up with him
Chii lowkey dresses like a kid at times and it's rlly off putting bcs his small frame makes him look even younger.
The part abt him and his mother's life in the u.k hit rlĺy close to home. Racism against Asians in the UK, or even generally, is so normalised. Growing up as a visibly Asian child in the UK, you slowly start noticing how often you face these little microaggressions, and it'll slowly start building up inside you until you pop. It honestly gets a bit too much sometimes and emotionally overwhelming, and it's especially invalidating when it's so normalised, and considered a 'joke'.
I've faced racism not only from white people, but from black people too, even south asians. I live in a predominantly south asian and white town, but majority of the racism I face is from south Asians, and it can feel kinda frustrating to hear/see it from fellow Asians. (Not to say some white ppl in my town aren't also racist, they are, particularly the elderly, but their racism is targeted towards south Asians rather than East, and they always feel comfortable sharing that with me??? Like my guy, I grew up surrounded by south asian community, why would I agree with them???)
I could go on forever about racism in the UK and the edl and the reformers, ect. so I'll end it there.
Honestly, I don't rlly blame artist/adaptor for the rushed ending. Okay not 'blame' but I can understand if they were rushing it to get it over with, or if there just wasn't enough time to cover the entire story or something. The story was fine at the beginning, but kinda derailed from there, and it felt like like the chasing arc was being dragged on too long, and the ml didn't show much development of his feelings very well. That could also js be a fault of the adaptation and the og story was fine, but idk cus I haven't read it. (I'm writing this at 2am so my complaints/points might not make sense, or may be completely invalid by the time I wake up in the morning with a clear mind)
Idk if its the translation, or the og's dialogue, but it is rlly off putting. British ppl in the past and present don't say 'old chap' and 'bloody' that often, especially in the way that it's been used in some dialogue, like 'bloody turned on'. In what universe would I, anyone that I know, or anyone in the past, ever use the word 'bloody' during intercourse???
On a serious note, the premise isn't too bad, just very badly executed. Ik that it's only 3 chapters, but that doesn't mean that it can't be good, some oneshots I've read are 10/10
Seth is soo messy for that, bro, but also real for that too bcs he's so over everyone's bs love triangle
Bro what hair was cut??? It looks exactly the same???
I feel for the neighbour so bad I too have been victim of my neighbours' nighttime noise
It took so damn long, my hair grew back from a two block cut to a bob
They're not even in the same genre bro, chaeheon is in a psychological thriller and mc's in a bl romance
I love the art sm, I hope one day the artist draws an actual healthy couple one day, even if it's a short story
What a shitty mother. (Might be overreacting but still) To put it into perspective, Chizu is being raised mainly by Oosawa, and only stays with her mother during weekends, not an uncommon thing.
However, the issue is that she suddenly wants to take FULL custody of Chizu after she gets remarried, and to do so, she gaslight Oosawa into feeling like an incompetent father, despite the fact that he has been raising her to the best of his abilities. (Disregarding the fact that he didn't seem to have a good support network in the case something happened to him or Chizu, but that does change once he gets closer to Yoshiaka.)
She then proceeds to not be able to pay attention or care for Chizu once she has another child, and fails to properly listen to or attempt to understand what actually happened to cause Chizu to push him. For example, if my younger brothers were to start screaming at crying at each other, and I don't know what's going on, I'd have to ask each of them individually to get an understanding of what happened, why and how to make sure it doesn't happen again. That is NOT what the mother does though.
She lacks the ability to care for more than one child, and because I don't know how Chizu would spend her weekends, I can't judge whether or not she was a good mother BEFORE the introduction of her 2nd child. However, I can probably assume she wasn't too good at it since she was so quick to neglect Chizu's needs over the span of a couple days.
Also, just to be fair, Oosawa was partially at fault too when it came of Chizu running away, because when children are introduced to new family, especially in situations where their parents are split up, they should be given time to get slowly accustomed to the new family. Chizu was just suddenly thrown into a situation where she most likely felt like Oosawa had randomly abandoned her, and the felt worse by not receiving proper love from her mother.
Jesus, I didn't realise how long I made this, sorry
Where's *my* long lost first love who happens to be a super rich ceo that buys me a house as a gift
(Everything is so expensive and I'm broke)
And the parents were js totally chill abt ml basically smothering his younger bro in his pheromones? Bcs ain't no way they couldn't smell that. Or maybe it was so strong their nostrils would clog up worse than mine with hayfever
Am I supposed to be happy or concerned for them that they're both toxic freaks
