Okay, I love the art, I love the character designs and the characters themselves. I also love the concept and the plot, I especially love how open-minded their world is that the families on both sides never had an issue with their relationship. It's actually comical that the parents of the Seme love the Uke more than their own son!
I love the action scenes, I wish there was more actually .
All in all it was good.
The only reason I didn't give it full points is because I grew tired of them by the 50th chapter. I didn't like their smex scenes much, it wasn't that hot contrary to their appearances. It was kind of dull. I don't know if it was the failure to deliver the hot scenes or because of the characters personality? I don't really know.
I was dreading for it to be over because there wasn't much that happened, or anything interesting happen for that matter. The smex scenes weren't even great. The story is far too plain to enjoy until 70 chapters which is a bummer.
They could've finished by 50 I think and then add side stories, at least that's my take. The story is good, it's just not your "I'll finish this in just a day" story because it's not that engrossingly fascinating to read.
Hope you don't take this the wrong way. I just felt that way as I read the story. Still, I appreciate it and the few laughs I had here and there.
Soooo... I read the novel out of curiosity for their smex scenes, judge me if you want but I was curious and the PG-13 censorship with the manhwa ain't helping, and I was so intrigued with the story that I read it all the way through the end .
The story is nearing the end, sadly. And it's almost the part where the couple goes through their personal issues. But I'm really, REALLY psyched to see it in the manhwa adaptation. Ain't gonna spoil but I think some novel readers already spoiled it in social media.
Needless to say, the story was beautiful. There are also problems, psychologically and emotionally speaking, for the FL. Regardless of her love for the ML, she was still looking forward to the day she returns home. Which is confusing because most FLs would choose this new world over their old one. What's more confusing is that the FL wasn't really that happy in her old world so I don't get why she's still attached to it.
Probably because she doesn't love the ML the same way he loves her. She loves him as a fan and a reader, not as a person herself. In my opinion, she hasn't accepted this new world as her reality and because other than the transmigration she also regressed in this new world, she believes that dying is not the end and therefore just wants to see the story to the end. Only then will she return home.
She's a rather unusual and difficult person to understand. Most probably because her life does not revolve around LOVE, contrary to other FLs. If you think about it, everything is easy to understand when romantic LOVE is involved. Especially when the FL does crazy stuff and we understand that she did it in the name of love.
We also see FLs whose first priority isn't love, it's their work, family, reputation, business, etc.. And then love comes second after them. Hestia here prioritizes the following in order; Kaelus' life, her love for him as a fan, and her romantic love for him. She'd put him first over anything else and in my opinion, doesn't think much of the future. Like, she doesn't see herself in a future with him. That's an issue that should be resolved first and foremost.
In any case, I feel bad for Kaelus. I do hope she realizes how important she is to him. And that she should be satisfied in their life together instead of quitting and going back to her old world. I'd rather live this life to the fullest and dread returning to my old world without my beloved by my side.
