I almost talked myself into reading this, but I can’t get over the ugliness of the uke. This story probably has the ugliest uke and baby that I’ve ever come across in a BL.
This story is already moving so slow, and now a hiatus. Should’ve been Backlight instead. :(
Edit: I hope the user two comments above learned how to use an online dictionary. I was happy to help!
*sigh* Typical generic response from someone trying to cope with their stupidity. I expected nothing less.
I really wanted this to be good, but the supposed badass assassin MC is a damsel in distress, and the ML is a childish, annoying asshole. Blah.
I hate when shitty parents pop up in these stories. Such a frustrating trope. I would cut my parent off so fast. I hope this doesn’t go the same way as The Pizza Delivery Man and The Gold Palace.
Lol @ y’all thinking that this is going to be some kind of turning point in their relationship. Y’all are just as easy as the MC. They had a short convo (of barely any substance) in the shower, and you mfs are talking about “progress” and “proper communication.” bffr
I didn’t think we’d get mind-break this early. I like it.
Edit: The new cover is giving endgame couple. lol
The grandfather definitely knows that the older brother has been trying to kill the MC. Whole family is insane. Poor MC.
Ugh, I wish I could binge this. Reading weekly is killing me.
I don’t get an incest vibe from this one. I think the older brother is truly just selfish and insecure, so he’s trying to sabotage the MC. Next week, I think the brother is going to say something in his fevered state that’s going to make the MC start to apply himself in school. I think the MC is going to misunderstand, though, because as we know, that’s the last thing the brother wants.
These comments are ridiculous. Nothing about the seme is a red flag. He has a pretty stern personality, fitting considering his job, but he treats the uke very well, and takes excellent care of the uke in both of his forms. As a horse, the uke is groomed and attended to personally by the seme. When the uke is injured, the seme continues to personally care for him, and he allows him to rest up and heal in his tent. He’s very affectionate towards the uke and handles him gently in his human form. It’s clear how much he cares for him, so the comments about him coming off as insincere are baffling. Did y’all not see how scared out of his mind he looked when the uke asked to visit the forest again to see his family? Like, bffr. I’m so over this red flag/green flag shit. You bitches are colorblind.
If his brother wants the company so bad, he should just kill his grandfather, and that’s their paternal grandfather, right? What about their father? Shouldn’t the company go to him, or was he skipped over? I don’t know what to make of the grandfather, tbh. He may be testing them, mainly the brother, to see how far they’ll go to become heir. We need more flashbacks about the MC’s relationship with the grandfather because why does he favor him so much, or does he really? I feel like the parents just didn’t care about the MC because he was sickly and only the second son, but they started to hate him after he started to act out and cause scandals to lose favor. The whole family is just a mess.
The flashback to the contract has me thinking that he won’t be able to break it. I don’t know why though. All it said was that the ML would protect the MC from his brother, and the MC would do whatever the ML said whenever he said it. It’s not unbreakable, but we also weren’t shown the full contract… I honestly don't know what the MC should do next. He needs to get out of that stupid contract, but he still needs protection, but he may feel like breaking up with the ML will appease his brother’s anger somewhat, but then he’d need a new plan. Idk.
I figured the grandfather would see this as an opportunity. That’s why the MC should’ve just got a bunch of random, cute bottoms to mess around with instead. He could’ve went out with a different one each night and caused a scandal in the tabloids or whatever. He really didn’t need the ML. I hope he tries to break the contract, and the ML loses leverage over him. Knowing how these things go, though, the ML will probably end up manipulating him into keeping it without ever revealing his scheme. Hope I’m wrong!
Also, what’s with the MC’s parents? His whole family is trash.
I only read a few random chapters to get an idea of what this was about, so I could’ve missed something, but it seems kind of obvious that the guy who raped the MC at the beginning of chapter 3 killed his mom… He said he’d been searching everywhere for the uke, so he most likely went to his home, and he killed the mom during his search. He seemed to be in a kind of out of control state when he found the uke, so he’s my guess for the killer, not one of the brothers.
Gah, I’m so mad that I found this… The summary pulled me in because it was giving Steel Under Silk vibes, but I hate love triangles, especially when they involve siblings. Not to mention, they’re “good” and “bad” siblings, and the endgame is the bad one. It makes it worse that the second ML met the MC first, and they already developed feelings for each other. They’re adorable together, too. smh
I hope the uke finds out he’s being used this season. If we go into the second season with him still not knowing, I’m going to be pissed.
