I'm frustrated with this arch but not in a bad way since I love all the little plot twists and character development were getting. Like this chapter really added some depth to Lizzy and basically justified our Ceil's lying. I do think that our Ceil and Lizzy are both in the wrong in different ways, but thanks to this I now truly believe that if he hadn't stolen his brother's identity Ceil wouldn't have been given the respect or title he certainly earned.
Still, I'm a bit annoyed cause I feel like there's so much left unanswered and its gonna take a while to find out the truths, which leaves me unsatisfied.

Well our Ciel was raised too only be a spare. Not many even seemed to love and care for him. The only ones that seemed to care was his parents and his twin (twincest?). Tanaka on the other hand just looked after him and to a small degree cared. So yeah I agree if he came back as himself what kind of crappy life would he have had.

I'm just over here hoping that Ms. Doh doesn't pull anything to sabotage his chance at another career, cause after all she did she at least owes him that much.

I doubt she can because Sooha knows the full story and can influence her being fired if she tries something. It will also come to light Ms.Doh incompetence in her field because it was said that Taesoo's designs were better than her's and she was copying his work. So if Taesoo get's hired and they work on a project together, they'll quickly find out someone's style (Taesoo's) is being copied. I feel it'll be the intern to notice it first because he was the one who saw Taesoo's portfolio before he took it down.

I can't relate to Ms. Doh or truly understand her situation but I don't hate her, I'm super indifferent, but I don't hate her. Her whole story seems a lot more complex than "I'm a bitch just cause I can be" like most side females are in these types of stories. I won't justify anything she's done (or what we're theorizing she's done) but it's just like Sooha said "Everyone has their own problems" and I personally feel a lot of her character is a result of dealing with those problems. I appreciate the author for taking the time to flesh her out and now thanks to that I'm even more invested/curious to see how her boyfriend and she are going to relate to the main couple as the story goes on.

On one hand I feel really bad for him for having to go through that experience, on the other I feel bad for the friend, but above all I'm happy things went down like this. It's too often I see Yaoi reward it's characters taking a reckless gamble by forcing a kiss on that one straight guy and somehow that triggers the straight dude to fall for our main gay guy. I know this whole genre is mostly porn and wish fulfillment, but damn is it refreshing to see someone pay the consequences of their actions long-term.

If this was real life things could've gone real bad. I do appreciate the fact that the dom made it clear he was after pleasure through pain and that concent was needed, but other than that this was a dangerous mess. He was way too intense on a reluctant first timer, didn't set any type of ground rules, and the fact that was not even the slightest suggestion of after care really bugs me. If you're gonna be rough at least have the denceny to always check with your partner, before, during, and after the experience to make sure they don't hurt themselves and any minor injuries or bruises are treated properly.

Agreed. I found it good as porn, but honestly this isn't how a BDSM relationship should ever be. He said "i need your consent", but the uke didn't consent at all. He was drunk, and he didn't even know what the seme meant when he said he likes it rough.
Moreover, he didn't stop at all despite saying "I don't want to do something you don't like".
I'm going to try to be optimistic and hope the little omega dude learns to either love his child, falls for the alpha (preferably in the context that they work out their issues together as well), or he learns how to take fuckin responsibility and starts handling these situations like a damn adult instead of always looking for the easy way out.
He's only coming back cause he's scared and has nowhere else to go (again), which is fine if this is the last time. His situation is complex and he's an extremely dishonest brat. Complications are expected when you try to get with a person like this. It's not over yet so I'm hoping things go somewhere positive, but If there's no change in the status of how either of them treats each other and they keep going on with this game of cat and mouse to the very end then this story was a waste of time.
Not exactly. The title is Love is an illusion. You can have resolve without having everything work out in the end. And if it doesn't, it would fit the title fairly well
It wasn't on the list, but I'd still be happy with something not so clean cut as long as its well written or makes sense in context. Having things be in a grey area would be interesting to see cause it's not done often and would be realistic but that doesn't really change that I want the cat and mouse play to stop and for these two to grow a bit for better or worse cause right now it's kinda getting old.
