Ehhh I don't think it's /that/ bad, like the problem isn't with the plot beats themselves imo, but the pacing of the story is very rushed so the lack of breathing room leaves an unsatisfying feeling?? I think if we had a few chapters between each major plot beat, it would have made a world’s difference with improving the quality of this story. For example, imagine if the ML confessed he stood in the way of MC healing bc he's got ptsd so then MC goes to the gate and everything is fine, they can spend some chapters discussing their relationship and creating healthier coping mechanisms for the ML, then after several gates, the MC gets hurt, and this proves the ML's fears right but the emotional reaction from the MC now feels properly earned rather than a shoe in.
I also think there’s something to be said that this is the author's first story + it's giving the vibe of being a short one (I doubt it'll be longer than 20 chapters). Will stick around for the art and smut
Gotta love the pillow talk after sex where they're just casually talking about consuming the other / desecrating the body, so romantic /j
I know it's early in the story but I need little A and K to be the end game
I think what's so refreshing about this BL is that the characters feel realistic and flawed in a grounded way, and even though this starts as a friends with benefits situation, the story becomes so much more than that as it develops. I love how Kyuho especially as a protagonist; it's so nice that he has a life and interests outside of the romance plot, his love for journalism is shown not told, and his integrity is something that shines through this story time and time again, but that same integrity becomes something he feels insecure about. He feels like a properly fleshed out person and character in a way that a lot of BL protagonists aren't. The couple's relationship is complex and nuanced in a way you don’t often see. I'm excited for season 4 and I hope ML can prove he's worth Kyuho's love and stand by him during his lowest point
The vibes are so immaculate and the romance is so sweet, i love them already
Just saw on twt that the author of boundary of delusion found a tweet where someone was reacting to one of the unofficially translated chapters on twt and they said "where did you get this from??" And I shuddered bc the low tide in twilight drama is gonna start all over again we shouldn't be posting unofficial chapters on twt with official hashtags guys
Ppl are so brain dead fr
The author makes it clear they don’t like illegal translations but isn’t telling the readers to die over it or targets people, only tells them not to use the official name “borderline” under screenshots of an illegal translation, they’re pretty aware of it already
The ending was so rushed you could tell the author was mentally checked out bc what was with that fade to black smut scene, makeshift confession, and a random ending that came out of nowhere???
Another goated series going on hiatus, im mourning
