But I still liked the story. A lot of holes and gaps and has less information that any other story I've ever read. But it's such a simple story that you'd get it despite the lack of detail.
Anyway, it's a good read. Despite the lack of detail and information. Needs more work but definitely has potential.
I really have a hard time reading ones that have multiple stories because they are mostly unrelated to each other so they're not really interesting because there's no story connecting them. This one has, and I'm so happy about it.
I love the stories of each couple, actually it's too short to even enjoy . I wanted moreeeeee. It's also funny how each of the characters interact and that every character is being shown in the other characters' story. That's what I said. They're all connected with each other and that's what makes it more interesting to watch because you can still see them in the other stories, interacting with the present couples.
I think other stories better take a note of this. Not interested in just a simple spinoff of some random guy the first character bumped into, but someone they're close to.
It interests me more and it prevents any confusion when they start a new story under the same story title.
I know it's not incest in the literal sense, just that it feels weird to fall in love with someone who treated you and you treat as a son/father. Granted, the Seme probably didn't see him as a father, but the Uke sure did.
Also, the age gap is so confusing. Some of the comments said that they're 17 years apart, when I clearly remember the friend, Hirino?, mentioning that the Uke is too young to be his father. So he's basically 25 years old when they first met? (If we choose the 17 year gap).
For me that's not too young at all. Just enough, I think, to father an 8 year old. It just didn't align with what the friend said. I also didn't see anything in the story that indicated they're 17 years apart so I'm not sure because he hella looks young when they met over ten years back.
Anyways, if they're happy that's all that matters. I appreciate the art, but the story, not so much. Too short to have any depth in it and too incomplete to enjoy.
Concept is good. Art is good, except for the Seme. His personality aside, his looks really creep me out. He looks and acts like a seme but wears and acts like an uke at the same time. It's weird because he's so tall and lanky, yet at times he looks like he's buff, like when he wore a tux. It's just so unbalanced.
Dear artist, if you want a buff and tall Seme or a small and thin Seme, just pick one! Don't make a mix of both, he honestly looks like a hybrid!
Also, I didn't enjoy reading it because of how unhealthy the Seme's love for the Uke is. I even skipped the smex scenes because I was so disturbed by their relationship.
Granted, there's a reason why he doesn't want the Uke to go back as an active esper, but that doesn't justify him manipulating the organization to keep him in the desk, gaslight him into thinking he's worthless, and keep his body in that state for 11 years. ELEVEN YEARS! Uke had to endure the ankle pain for over a decade and adding the stress, discrimination, and insecurities, it's just not healthy.
The best and normal thing he should've done is to talk to the Uke about his concerns and how afraid he was that Uke's gonna die. At least then, the Uke would still have the opportunity to make the decision himself instead of letting the Seme decide for him.
Like, this is peak toxicity if I haven't seen one. It's because he kept this up for 11 years. Not a mere 1 or 5, but over a decade of lying and gaslighting. It made me sick to the stomach. That's eleven years he's never gonna get back again.
The Uke is weird too because he lets this happen! It's also partly his fault that the Seme's obsessed with him. He let this happen and let himself be fooled all because he's a slave to the kid's looks. Pathetic.
If I were him and I find out that he's been manipulating everything around me, I'd be so creeped and disgusted I wouldn't be able to trust him again.
That's what a normal person would feel. But this one's a whole other level of an enabler. He let things slide as if 11 years of ridicule, stress, and lying is just a childish prank. I'd be so suffocated I won't be able to stay anywhere near that creep ever again.
I don't know about other people, but this isn't healthy. Don't blind yourself and think that this is a sweet and romantic story just because of the art and the ending.
It's not, honey. Don't be manipulated into thinking this story is normal.
Like, I'm not even gonna complain because they're obviously satisfied with each other.
I didn't like this one much because they're affecting other people. I mean, by all means, go crazy for each other. Hurt each other and then have wild sex afterwards. Just don't involve other people to your insane love language. They're in a band and are involved with other people, there's bound to be individuals other than themselves around them so it's not healthy if they continue dragging other people onto their relationship.
It ain't hot. It sure as hell ain't funny either. I'm out.
They're both sick. Really sick.
Like, I'm not even gonna complain because they're obviously satisfied with each other.
One of the purest red flag x red flag couple I've ever read in my life. I don't think I'll ever see another one where a toxic tag is somehow getting along with fluff.
The art was good, honestly I loved the art in the first season more than the recent art but it's still okay.
I love the character designs, the characters itself were good. Especially the FL. She's such a sweetheart I fell for her and she's been my angel since.
The concept is good. It's not as uncommon to have an FL who regressed and someone else as the transmigrator. To think she'd be friends with the transmigrator too and that this story is not originally a novel so there are no original leads. I liked that.
I also like the ML's backstory. His story at the first life was so sad because he had to kill his own brother but it's a good thing that in the second one he didn't, and without the FL's direct interference too!
The only things I found weird here is that there are many plotholes. Like, they never really explained what a sacrificial bride is and why they're being looked down on when in fact they are the partner of the Saintess that rarely appears. Like, they're being discriminated against and are called "sacrificial". Is there anything the temple is hiding? Why call them "sacrificial" in the first place when they're supposed to be the strength behind the Saintess? I don't get it.
Also, it appears that they rushed the climax part. I didn't enjoy the part where they defeated the villains. I don't know, I expected a lot because of the build up but they didn't reach them. I wasn't satisfied because the villains weren't as clever as they made them out to be and I don't know if they rushed the ending or not because the plot wasn't as good even when they got this many chapters.
The part where the FL got poisoned instead of the ML and the ML had to go through lengths to save her wasn't interesting to me. Like, they made the story this long, put a lot of elements, but they sucked at the story because they it all lacked heart. You get me?
In my opinion, they should've focused more on the treason and rebellion part instead of adding more elements to the story. Or focused on the coma part, at least focus on one of them because they lacked depth and weight to the story when they added more to it.
Okay, NOW I don't like the story as much because I ranted for too long. I genuinely liked the first season. I don't know why but I think the story didn't look and feel as genuine in the later season. The art was one thing, then the plot. Seriously, they didn't even give much effort on the villains because they weren't as good as they made them out to be.
Anyways, that's all. It was fun at first but now, the ending didn't live up to the hype of the first part.
What a dark prequel. I just came here from reading the rest of the related stories and I just felt like they were suffocating from the pressure. I didn't really think that Hayashida lost his smiles after working for that crappy office and it just pained me to see him and Yumi hurting in the process.
I didn't really hate Hayashida even at the first story with Yumi and his new bae. I was more concerned on whether or not they'd end up together. I was really surprised when he let go of Yumi, like, not all abusive partners do that. He knows that he's doing the wrong things to the person he loves and he knows he has to let him go. He was mature enough to know all that, and I think his redemption and regret paid off because he managed to find someone he loves and who loves him as well.
I really cried, because his past relationship has closed in a way that other stories didn't. Most stories would have them meet with their exes and get closure. In this one, the Uke knows how he'll have it easy if he apologizes to his ex. His ex is just too kind to others and not himself.
I also understood the Seme's concerns about their past. Not because he's jealous or anything, but because he was an outsider to his lover's past. He knows the Uke's beating himself up about his past and he just wants to help the Uke heal himself. It just got me emotionally.
In any case, the art is beautiful as always. The character designs, the smex scenes are an art. The story, the plot, everything just gets you and I'm happy at how it ended.
Thank you for this beautiful story and this beautiful ending.
To those curious, this is not some abusive toxic relationship where the Seme got their redemption arc and lived happily ever after with the Uke. It's a fairy tale ending of course, just not with the abusive guy.
I love them. I came here expecting to be pissed off reading another MC forgiving their toxic partner and ending up with them. Good thing I gave it a chance and felt their love.
The Uke is just an idiot, an idiot who stays with an abusive guy as a substitute to self harm. It's a way to hurt himself physically so that he can forget how hurt he is emotionally.
In any case, I love how he ended up with a green flag seme. All the best for their future together.
Yeah, no. The moment I saw their past, I was like, NOPE. Whoosh. Gone.
The start of their relationship is very complicated because the Uke tried to protect himself from getting hurt by not expecting anything from the Seme. Even though the Seme has already fallen for him and professed his love, they were only sex friends until a third party convinced the Uke to just go for it instead of half-assing it. Right when the Seme was ready to give up too.
Let's be honest, it only got complicated because the Uke was too serious about everything. Not everything in life is to be taken seriously, babe. Sometimes, it's okay to be reckless and just follow your impulses. Just take it easy, no stress.
I'm only saying this because that's my way of living. Probably the main reason why relationships don't last long for me. But other than that, going with the flow has been going great for me.
Anyway, it was too short. Could've added a side story about their stable love life instead of just a flashback, but okay. Worth the read by the way.
I didn't even read the second couple because I was so angry at the first one. Like, what the hell!!? He fell for the guy who keeps stealing his work? And not because he's in love with his job, but because he wanted to monopolize the Uke. Like, what a dick move, bruv.
I didn't like it. I'm not into someone so inconsiderate and who only thinks of himself. He didn't think of his partner's dreams at all! Like, what would he do then? Stay at home like a good boy he is??! Might as well get a pet than a lover.
I'm surprised the Uke didn't think this was wrong and just embraced the Seme for what he did. Seme needs to learn that everyone has to be independent in some way and coddling his lover like that when he wants to reach great heights is so wrong.
Anyway, this wasn't good for me. I'm out buhbye.
These days I keep cussing out and I didn't think it was because I've been reading trashy shat like this. Who the frick loves a man who tied him, confined him, and raped him? A madman, of course!!
This is some effed up sh*t, this one. It ain't sexy. It ain't hot. And it sure as hell ain't cute. I'm done with this. I'm out.
Can't believe what love does to a person. He didn't even realize that someone loves him because he so occupied by crushing on someone else. They're both idiots. It ain't a cute, sweet, and romantic love story let's be for real. It's kinda dark if you ask me. This is not the right and good way to start a relationship. Urgh. If you ask me, the Seme ain't worth it. AT ALL.
I was okay with the first few stories, I actually thought, "Hey, it was the ex who cheated not the current BF. What's with the cheating tag?"
I really wanted side stories. But then the last story came up.
He cheated on you. MORE THAN FIVE TIMES! And you still went back to him!!!??? How do you not value yourself enough to stay with a cheating bastard like him??!!! I hated it. I. HATED. IT.
If I were him, I wouldn't find someone else to cheat with and get back at this bastard. NO. I'd pack my things and leave the house. I will not continue to lower myself to his level and let him walk all over me. He's not worth it.
The bastard's not even cheating because he is in denial or that he's lonely. He cheats because he wants to feel secure that the Uke still loves him. Like, it's complete bullcrap! I'd leave him and make a better life without him and his deadbeat ass.
I really wanted to rate this with 4 stars and higher, but the last story just stuck to me like a leech. I'm out.
No cheating please. Can't believe they Uke forgave him just like that. There's a line for me that you cannot cross, and that's cheating.
Loved the comedy and chemistry between the two. Better than the couple in the first story before this sequel. Wished there was more. They're a funny couple to watch.
Why do I keep reading these trashy stories. It's not even pain worthy. Urgh
