I shed actual tears during chapter 81 when Ian was reminiscing about Jo for a moment like.....what about Jo??? I'm not blaming Ian cuz I sympathize and love him but Jo means so much to me. He's been nothing but nice, patient, loving and caring. It's so clear that he's passionate about his photography and he has goals in his life he wants to achieve but he was willing to get into this mess just for Ian OH MY GOD. I don't want him to lose his innocence and kindness by doing something that will damage him his whole reaction to witnessing Ian kill that man in the alley was so heartbreaking I feel so bad for him I'm gonna cry.
I'm rereading this cuz I wanted to gather my thoughts on tj like I rmbr when I was reading this for the first time, I did not like tj and I didn't like whatever tj and Ian had going on but then seeing how much everyone ships these two on TikTok I thought maybe Im biased maybe tj really is all that and now I can confidently say I don't fw tj and Ian and honestly why is Jo so underappreciated??? Like he's such a nice character I'm not even saying that Ian and Jo is better a ship than Ian and TJ cuz people can ship whoever they want, all I'm saying is why don't more people like Jo??? LIKE HES SUCH A WELL WRITTEN CHARACTER WITH HIS OWN STRUGGLES he adds this emotional flair to this story that really makes me appreciate the effort the author put into their characters!
Because most readers live in fanon and spread false narrative. Jo hate is forced while tj hate is rightful. Tbh idk how people got so much hate for Jo it really makes no sense. I never really seem this behavior before because tj is clearly a horrible love interest.
yeah exactly! what i really don’t understand is how they have this fixed narrative of jo, and that is he’s such a boring character. like how the fuck did they come up with this thought? do they read with their eyes closed? i really can’t understand how jo seems boring to the most of the readers, when he is in fact has the most interesting character and personality in the story (could also be debatable with ian cuz obviously he’s my fave, too)
They went crazy over Jo cumming on Ian’s face (which is a bit weird to me too but not all that honestly) but not a cricket when the panel appeared, where TJ said “no” to Ian’s “I don’t want to have sex” or something along that line.
LITERALLYY BRO he deserves sm better
This was such a breath of fresh air and I'm so glad season 2 will be 15+ like I genuinely want nothing more from these two than the adorable domestic fluff they had going on this was genuinely so heartwarming and so beautiful like oh my god I'm so emotional it's not everyday you get to read such peak
I KNOW RIGHT?!? I felt more happy yet miserable because of the one year break..
..... What the fuck??? No literally what the fuck why didn't I read this sooner oh my god I read this whole thing with a goofy ass smile on my face I was litr giggling ALL THE TIME wow this is a masterpiece this is literally everything I've ever wanted in a bl I can't believe this gem exists oh my god
THANK GOD I LET THIS MARINATE OH MY GOD THIS IS SO GOOD I NEED MORE AHHHH love how it has seme pov

I came back searching for this comment to thank you. Shit was so good that I ate it up in one sitting
Chat is this good?? Idk I'm put off by the art style but if its peak I will read it
its peak
IT'S HEAVEN
Must read. Absolute must if you like beefy badass power couples.
Am I the only one who actually loved this whole misunderstanding and breakup plotline?? I was actually getting bored of their lovey dovey scenes being shown all the time but seeing this angsty arc AND ALSO IT BEING WRITTEN SO WELL I loved it honestly
I'm not a fan of angst because I'm a cheesy fuck and I also get too anxious reading them, but this is well written and it makes me super excited for the third season. Author said in the epilogue that they love reunions and that we'll see how they grew as people after four years.
They also said on twitter that they were scared of reading the fans' opinions on their "breakup" but it seems people didn't take it that bad
The thing is, it MAKES sense. It’s not some random angst that the author put in, it was BOUND to happen - that’s why it’s so well written because this development was actually needed for the both of them. It wasn’t forced at all.
Omg really?? I did not know that honestly I can tell that the author really put in effort into their whole breakup arc it felt so realistic and human??
LITRR and it also doesn't feel like there's a right or wrong to their whole "falling out" it's just two individuals who are hurt
TRUE. It's not just them fighting for the sake of fighting, or having a misunderstanding and making up like five times per season and we never know whether they're actually growing as people or not.
YES I DO TOO
I love, love, love, LOVE it! And think it’s perfect for this story. Loving the depth of the characters and how it makes my heart hurt. Yes please!
From ch 1 I could immediately tell that this was not your typical shoujo and it's gonna have really mature and well written characters but after ch 13 why do I feel so disappointed?? Like arata's character is so pointless it adds nothing to the plot, ml is pissing me off and our FL had so much potential to be the bad bitch I thought she'd be but NO???
same, feels like its falling into typical genre conventions now. lost the initial pull for me
The generic plot really threw me off in the beginning but their relationship made up for it. I loved both of their characters, loved the seme's redemption arc, loved their relationship dynamic as well. Plot could've been better though but still it was a good read<3
