although the plot is cliche and ml’s a red flag in ALL aspects of life, i still liked the main story. the art style and nostalgia carried, as a fan of haribo’s old work. could’ve done without the rape in the sidestory. it maybe in character for a mob like sehyuk, but most of the plot is nonsense anyway it wouldn’t kill him to ask for consent. like everyone else said, it’s annoying that he got the upper hand in their relationship all throughout. this kind of stories only get better if the red flag turns into a desperate, consensual simp afterwards… ╮(￣△￣)╭
Yeah that makes total sense. I liked the main story but the side story was kinda meh especially with the unnecessary rape and how it still felt like the ML wasn't really putting effort into their relationship. Being obsessive and possessive aren't the same as putting effort into a relationship so it felt kinda disappointing from that perspective but hey I guess that's just the state of BL currently.
Yup took the words out of my mouth, really hated the rape it completely ruined it for me
initially got thrown off by how mc was so quick to accept sex as part of the “acting” gig… then i couldn’t take the chasing arc seriously cause they kept going at it before communicating. it’s revealed that their dysfunctional families gave both of them mental issues, so at the end of the day they deserve/suit each other. felt bad for hyun cause he got sidelined
i swear manhua art is always on another level. every panel is a full-on painting. mcs have one of the healthiest relationships out there. the love rival segment wasn’t dragged on and it’s rare to see a couple endure long distance just to support each other’s careers. good for them
every chapter gave me cuteness aggression! exactly the kind of story i wish would never end. everyone read this right now to heal your soul
i like that haeyon is one of the few sensible protagonists in bl apocalypse genre, with combat skills & genius intellect to match. it’s pretty plot heavy but i wish the creator conveyed the story using scenes rather than info dumping through dialogue. it gets tedious to read bc of that and the monotonous poses, like they’re always just standing or sitting down. even during action scenes they look rigid. lastly, a moment of silence for jihyuk’s old hair ( T﹏T )
obsessive x oblivious is one of my ultimate tropes, no matter how overdone so i didn’t care about the negative reviews. but 20 chapters in… and it is in fact, painfully generic. ‘plot’ was a snooze fest and the characters are flat as cardboard paper. prolly would’ve eaten this up 5 years ago before my frontal lobe developed idk
I want more of this trope
interesting plot but could’ve had better execution. they fuck pretty much every chapter lol
second couple pisses me off, wish they’d get less screentime. also the fact that everyone has the same surname confuses the hell out of me also the nepotism byeee hahaha
