Qui Li's Topics (201)

I was willing to overlook some of the minor stuff because of nostalgia (I would've just skipped the parts with the glasses girl cause she is super nnoying), but man this is disappointing. The issue is treated like a joke, and it might as well have been anything else they argued about. Like there is zero plot relevance for the fight to even happen, it could've just been about the whole club incident instead and it would not have made a difference. And adding the kiss doesn't fix anything, it just came up to deflect from the argument. And Byul hoping his mom sees his grandmother is dumb because supposedly he understands why his mom doesn't want contact with the scumbag.

Officially over this one, might pop in for a check up in a few months to see the train wreck, but it's shit.

Dojin is in the wrong for hiding his actions, especially because Hyesung cut off his mom for legit reasons. However, that does not mean Byul is not wrong. Byul knew his mom cut off contact for a reason, he could've asked for more details at least from his dad (who knows the exact reasons btw). Byul also is not wrong in feeling hurt by the idea that his mother abandoned him after birth, because it's true. However, I think he's grown enough to understand that while he (Byul) was abandoned, he was left with his dad who loved and cared for him until his mother returned (and who never left or mistreated Byul after). Hyesung was abandoned in an abusive household, and his mother refused to look for her son. The mother left and never turned back until when it was convenient for her, that's the difference.

I will officially hate this series if Fargo decides to have Hyesung forgive his mother. Hyesung can apologize to Byul, and Byul and Dojin SHOULD apologize to Hyesung, but Hyesung SHOULD NEVER APOLOGIZE TO HIS MOTHER. She should still have to face the consequences of abandoning her child, and she shouldn't suddenly have open access to her child's life. Even her new family left her because they realized how fucked up she was in leaving her son to an abusive husband (remember that she hadn't divorced her husband when she left yet, she came back later to divorce him and could've tried to contact her child then but refused to do so).

I get the impression ppl are confused about it. Yurito's lineage is the initial family that dealt with the beasts but it's not the only one. So not all the mates are related by lineage, but coincidentally Yurito and Coro come from related lineages from the original beasts and the first mate, although it's basically negligent how related they are by now. Also, beasts do have multiple mates, so it's possible that there's an even larger relation gap because of it. Point is, it's like 4th or even 7th cousins getting together, there's basically no genetic or even close family relation at that point.

This is something I wrote early on about the series, and I just hope the author doesn't make Hyesung the bad guy and force him to reconcile. If there's no actual discussion and resolution, it's just going to make the rest of the story hard to read. I already dislike the story direction with the cousin and the other girl (I don't like the pairing at all), having such a major plot point fumbled will bring down everything else.

The staying in contact with Hyesung's mom problem. Like I get she escaped an abusive relationship but she had years to contact her son. By the start of the story Hyesung is an adult, so it's not like she HAD to have the father's permission to see him after a while. Also, hypothetically, if she had the opportunity to actually see her son earlier, would she have still kept him a secret? She didn't tell her new family about him even after trying to meet him, so would she have still kept him a secret from her family even if she could see him as a child? I don't like the mom, and I didn't feel sad that her new family left her, like she abandoned her son once, would she also dip out on them if the tides turned? So that whole bit just left a sour taste in my mouth, and unless it becomes an actual storyline with Hyesung being angry at his spouse and child, it'll just be a shitty thing to force someone to accept. What're they gonna do next, secretly take the new baby to see the mom when Hyesung cut her off for valid reasons? For Hyesung to reconcile with a woman who abandoned him and only showed back up when it was convenient for her?

It was either slowly lose cognitive and physical function while ML's mom focused on caring for her dying partner, going through surgery but still requiring constant medical assistance (possibly for life), or dying right after surgery due to complications. She must've noticed something was up, but she never fully knew and she probably didn't even know she was pregnant either before he left.

So both of them lost out on a life together because he didn't want her to be burdened with taking care of him until his death, making it harder for her to accomplish her goals. However, in the end he still lost time and connection because he lost his memories that weren't brought back until he saw the drama. They could never see each other again, and ironically the one who died was not the one with the terminal illness.

Perhaps it would have been better for him to stay, but like he said, he did what he thought was best and all he wants is to see her one last time.

Ok, so I am confused about Tarju and how anything works. First, I found 2 posts referring to Tarju and the black tiger (possibly named Tali or Tari or smt like that). The first one does says the black tiger is male. The second one says Tarju is based of a real species of tiger and is bigger than the average female. Thus, it can be concluded that Tarju is female and the black tiger is male. BUT, the second part of this is that I dug through the author's twt, and many of the readers (Japanese and non Japanese) refer to Tarju as male. The official translation for the manga also refers to Tarju as male, and this is weird because either a) no one bothered to check with the author on how to refer to Tarju [if it is ambiguous, as a translator you would want to double check or not use an actual pronoun] or b)the author changed their mind[??????], because there is a third post where the author directly states that they told the translation team for the English version to use "I love you" in the conversation btw Ilya and his father. This signals that there is some level of communication btw the author and the translator(s), but then Tarju is still referred as male. You could either say this is a mistranslation or the author changed their mind (the author has done it before, as you can see the difference btw the first uploads and the 2nd official translation uploads). I'll try to dig more, because I am confused a little bit.

Tarju is male, the other tiger is female. Also, they have five kids, their eldest, the twins (girl and boy), and two others (one is male and the other female, but they aren't twins).

I noticed they started using their first names, aaaahhhhhhhhh, so cute!

Surprisingly this is the only manga where I don't get put off by the idea of one of the characters being an AV actor during the relationship. I think it's mostly cause Natori himself is not entirely insecure or worried about it, but Seo is also entirely professional about it too. I hope they stay together, cause they're a good and lovey-dovey couple.

It's already finished there. However, the author's patreon was closed without warning, so the side stories are on hold for now.

If you liked this story, I suggest you do not read the sequel. It is the story of Yullur and Saya, which doesn't go over very well. Like even if you ignore the age gap or don't necessarily care for Yullur having watched Saya grow up, it's just not that well-written either. It's one of the worst stories by the author.

Personally, I thought that Saya was going to have a one-sided crush and he was going to meet someone else once Yullur went off to his adventures (like a growing up story about letting go and embracing new things). And it just hits you like a bus when it turns out Yullur does like Saya (a literal copy of his mother, who Yullur used to like btw). I'm usually not too worried about problematic topics or couples in fiction, but because you have the context of the original story, the characters and story are ruined. Yullur is a sweet and cool character here, but the sequel makes him out to be like some creepy uncle waiting for a girl to turn 18 to chase them.
