This is a masterpiece, I know there's only 13 chapters as of yet but I'm absolutely in love with the characters and the writing!
I can't begin to describe how much I adore them!
Both have secrets and trauma they deal with yet find comfort in each other.
The way Ilwoo was about to jump and end his life and Baekhee just being there and caring, not even knowing what he helped prevent with something he did so casually was beautiful.
The hurt expression on Ilwoo at times and how both talked about their life's at the playground was incredibly well written.
The whole vibe and story itself is absolutely phenomenal!
The foreshadowing in the narration is so insightful and makes me anxious for what's about to come.
The author handles these topics so well without leaning into being overly dramatic and unrealistic.
Even Gyeom who's obviously gonna be the bad guy, I like how he's written as someone who's not obsessed with Baekhee himself but with the idea of being relied on and in control.
I think he has a huge inferiority complex, maybe because of his parents and mainly his mom?
First time I'm excited to learn more about the "villain's" story too.
My only regret is discovering this too early.
not even gonna bother commenting because you said it all *applause*
Thank you!! Glas to know we feel the same about this ^^
U said all the things i have in mind
Today I discovered a new favorite trope, yearning green flag Top!
I think Eunsan is in for a hell of a ride because there's the saying "(S)he fell first, he fell harder", I can't wait for the second season and for Eunsan to gradually fall depper for Ian.
I might actually prefer stories where the Top falls first ngl
+ I love these characters so much, the author does a phenomenal job at writing!
Okay I really need a moment to take a deep breath, this is so utterly sad and left me crying multiple times.
I wasn't expecting to find this, I usually real BL or Fantasy but this intrigued me for some reason.
This is a heavy story to tell and it breaks my heart to know that it's the authors life story.
From the described feelings to the open end, it's very much real which makes it even more heartbreaking.
Knowing and seeing that this inner turmoil and trauma will never truly be fixed and the author recognizing that it only takes one step for everything to go downhill again, leaves a bitter taste.
There are parts of this that I can relate to and others I can't.
The dialogue between Aiko when she tried to get help and that guy, did something to me, it made me realize how these traps we keep running into are made.
It takes only one person to break down another person, all that talk about wanting to feel special, searching for a helping hand, showing vulnerability only to be met with disdain and ridicule.
Thinking you have to be fine, not bother people with your problems and essentially shutting yourself off from the world is precisely what creates this cycle of self hatred and suffering.
I'm so sad that this happened to the author and that they met such a person....
Words can't describe the impression this left on me.
This isn't some tragic masterpiece or a good read for in between, it's just reality and it makes me sad.
If anyone feels as strongly about this as I do and can relate to some parts, even if it doesnt get better, you aren't alone and never will be.
This is the best notification on here that I could've received!! I read the novel and I absolutely can't wait to see everything drawn! I love this story and the characters so much!
Can you tell me the novel name and where to read it please I am desperate
I really love this! Although I was sad that we didn't see his pregnancy through and didn't even get a panel of their baby! Missed opportunity imo
But I can only give this a 4/5 since the bit about turning him from a Beta to an Omega just gives me the creeps, didn't need that since otherwise the Alpha was such a green flag!
I love their bickering!! They're both to die for!!
Ahhh next chapter will bring the HEAT!
Also just for my own sanity, authors pls stop teasing a switch couple and not following through, got me excited for a moment ngl
I've just looked through my manga and noticed I indeed own the first 2 volumes in Japanese, bought years ago because I loved the art style and now I find this page on here, finally I'll understand what I've been looking at!!
Honestly gotta appreciate when an author depicts incest but at least mentions it's abnormal and not make them the end couple.
Something I've seen happening before unfortunately...
Him still being in his nephews life? Abhorrent.
The bar is in hell
Alright I powered through all 8 chapters and yeah the art is serving but the story ain't.
First off the whole "oh I'm dreaming, I can do whatever" only kinda works when it's in thoughts only, I mean how many times did each of them say "I'm dreaming" and gee I wonder why the other person suddenly starts acting sketchy around me in real life?
Not connecting the obvious dots is driving me up a wall and is frankly just bad writing....speaking of bad writing, is it the translation or do most of the conversations make absolutely no sense.
Edit: Saw the comments on here and it's Paradise Scans, go figure.
First the friend suggests Mc and Brother go well together and then in a flashback he's called a pedophile, pick one?
Now onto the one thing I did enjoy, I like a twisted Top, not this one but generally a kind looking and gentle Top who turns out to be a bit messed up in the head.
It tickles that part of my brain that is also into masochistic Tops ya know.
I wonder why I even bothered reading this, probably because of the art and honestly I'll stick around either actually reading or skimming through for the art.
Lmao, fr! Like the part "oh, I am dreaming" and then they just do whatever they want kind of seem to fake. I was like, what do you mean you're in a dream when both of your conversations doesn't seen like a dream. I thought he was being delusional lol, until i saw he wake from the bed and the brother was there, i was like oh it is a dream lol. So I am thinking maybe it is a little fantasy story a little, like both of their dream is connected since I also see ml pov of his dream. Yk those type of story where their dream is connected bc this or that.
Same! You bring up another good point tho, who in their right mind would just be like "Oh the other person is also thinking they're dreaming, guess it's only my dream" like be fr! lol
My first thought would be to figure out if we're both dreaming together just by the flow of the conversation.
I think these types of stories have huge potential if executed well like "It's just a dream right?".
Yeahs. Also, it is common sense that when ppl dream, they don't feel pain. But mc said he feel pain, so it doesn't seem like he has a dreams when he said that. I only read this bc i like the concept that mc is trying to give up on his crush, which I am guessing probably not happening. (⌒▽⌒)
True! Yeah it's probably only gonna continue from here on out xD
Meanwhile I'll enjoy the art~
