Dang they're all over each other, they're almost basically joined at the hip atp...
I can understand people get turned off by mr. Kang because of the previous sx scene but I still really like him because he realize his mistakes and goes all out for his baby even though it would means destroying what he had built from the scratch by himself. Even gaced with doom, he still chose to be "together" with our mc. And from the start he already had some anger issues anyway, he's just been much better because he loves the uke so much his anger mostly melted. Mostly not all.
Somehow its kinda refreshing to see a character development of a hot-headed top not completely changing personalities after they become a couple
Trueee a lot of those seme suddenly become puppy lovers only to their lovers and their original personality is gone, like, its not bad too but Mr. kang is kinda fresh cuz I like the fact that both of them are not perfect. Mc knows from the start that mr. Kang has a terrible temper but still fall in love with him. Or that Mr. Kang knows that mc is the too idealistic and naive happy go luck type of person that he claim he hates but fall in love anyway. I love that so muchh
SAMEEEEEE their not perfect but they both acknowledge each other's traits and understand it while still staying with each other It makes them a little more human than how BL dynamics are usually written
The comment section is so funny lmaoo y'all praying for MC's safe return
Honestly, I donât think you can measure someoneâs mental age just by how long theyâve lived alone. Itâs more about the kind of life theyâre living and the stuff theyâve been through.
For any time regressor, they basically come back and live life AGAIN â childhood, teen years, young adulthood, the whole package. So mentally, theyâre not actually aging past where they left off in their first life. Theyâve never felt what itâs like to be in their 40s, 50s, and so on.
Thatâs why I think Younggukâs still stuck in his mid-30s mentally, and he wonât really âbeâ in his 40s until he actually reaches that age again. Itâs like his mental clock just⌠stopped ticking when he regressed.
So he will be "growing up" together with that girl until both of them reaches his previous age. This is why I never really had a complaint on a regressor's love story. Since if you ignore that youngguk has regressed, they're actually from the same age generation, right? You guys got what I mean?
actually, this takes kinda smart
This might be a hot take but if people canât handle regressors falling in love (there are MANY exceptions though, donât twist my words) at a certain age or whatever, maybe they shouldnât be reading regress stories or at least those that clearly will have romance at some point. It was pretty obvious MC was going to end up with that girl at some point, and they handled it better than expected.
Ikr... like, are they really expecting youngguk to live and die alone... forever, if we're following the usual logic of time regressor have twice their age? Its either that or do you want youngguk to be with someone much older to his current body age which would be seen as "weird" as well right.
And ur right they're handling this romance quite well since they're a childhood friends with some history and I can tell where the affection comes from.
I like the take but also half disagree!! I think it's true you wont be able to know the age until you get there, but some of the life experiences do come with exposure so I don't think you can disregard the double dipping fully.
But!! In real life, nobody has equal life experiences, not even twins. You Will have people who are the same age who have lived diff lives. So if youre an adult and consensual, and they match you, what's gross about that? They're older now. Not like he was interested in her at all when they were kids.
So I don't get all the hate either!
Yeah it's fine! I understand that my take is kinda rare and weird to some anyway (hence the hot take)
But ur so right. I don't think age gap is weird either. My aunt and his husband has 13 y.o gap but they met when she's 19 so she's already an adult anyway and liked him first. They're still together to this day.
Plus Its not like youngguk start liking the girl since she was a child with perverted intentions either, so I think the hate is undeserved too!
Oh⌠um, thatâs⌠13 years is way too big of a gap to justify a man going after a woman whoâs barely legal⌠I feel like when itâs a fictional story, especially one based on unrealistic scenarios (like regression) who cares? Itâs not like someone will see it and take it to heart.
Different times probably, my parents have a big gap too and it wasn't as scrutinized as much as it is today lol
Yesss you're right! Since my aunt is already 57 this hear lmao.
Also this is also a hot take butt
People often label large age-gap relationships as âdangerousâ (I'm assuming dangerous is refering to pedophile right?) Because recently there are rise in pedophilias number, but thatâs an oversimplification. Pedophilia is a sexual attraction to minors or children, especially with a childlike or puberscent appearance and their pure naivety.
In many adult age-gap couples (like my uncle and aunt), the connection happens because the younger partner is seen as mature for their age and able to connect on the same level. I mean, with a huge gap, usually they're not able to understand one another on many matters. Pluss, They met as adults â even if one was âbarelyâ an adult â and they built a healthy, lasting relationship. The difference lies in intention and perception: a genuine bond between two adults is not the same as a predatory fixation on minors.
Imho though. After thinking and searching for the sources of pedophilias and age gap couples a couple years ago, that's the conclusion I got.
Oh I meant the reply above is for you too heheh. Its the way the older one views tbe younger one when they met as an adults. Did they see them as an adults too? Or does they see the younger one as a "safe" option to justify their preferences? I think that matters a lot but people seems to just brush it off and don't care about the rest.
Even for some minors in the late stage, I think some are justified to as long as
1. The relationship stays healthy and pure
2. Started dating after the younger one passes becomes adults.
Age is not the only measures for these, althoigh does plays a big role on being labeled as "pedophiles" because they targeted minors and children.
Like for a girl that likes a much older man than myself (I'm 24 and my bias is always 30-39, sayas a lot aboht my preferences lol) I never agrees that age gap is weird or the older one is disgusting. It really depends on how they act and think, honestly.
Once again, a hot take but..
Sorry for a lot of grammar mistakes and typos, I write those on a train
Lu xingci would rather die than hurt his baby guys. Totally normal behavior of an overprotective simping alpha.
Guys, when he said Chaehoon is the sweetest boyfriend ever, it is because there's A LOT of things that Chae hoon does for him. Unlike many readers only focusing on his freakiest and obsessive part, he saw his sweet side.
The author does let us know too. Like Chaehoon shows how much he loves him, he COOKS for him, never lets him clean the house, buys him so many things and presents, lets him stay in his house for free etc. Isn't that what a sweet boyfriend does?
He is basically a princess y'know? All Chaehoon needs from him is his love and affection, his presence. That's all. He's the sweetest bf ever, I don't think that's wrong from his pov since he could tolerate that one bad things about him that many thought as "crazy".
Isn't that why they're a match made in heaven?
thank you for this!
BRUH. ASAGI X FUJI IS THE BEST PLEASE SAIL SOON MY ULTIMATE SHIP
To everyone panicking about christelle, I just want to remind that this manhwa/novel has NEVER been focusing on romance so rest assured. It doesn't and it won't.
Many comments said that this manga is ruined because of the adults, me on the other hands, think that showing those bad adults deepens Cain's and Diana's personality and character development. It MEANT to show how bad the adults are in that era because they don't know better. Not because they're actually bad, and Cain is there to "fix" what the parents can't and won't, which shows how he cared for what the adults ignores and tried to "raise" those kids (not just his sister) into a better person.
At first he was viewed mostly as a siscon who won't care about anything else, but it was proven to be false. Of course he might still prioritize his sister's future, but He is also shown as an actually caring and considerate person to everyone that deserved it. He is fair and gentlemanly in general as long as they're not harming his sister.
Also the whole point of why he's going to school so far from home is because his parents felt the need to separate the siblings as Cain's obsession is seen to be quite severe. This is like one of the rare moments the parents made a strict and correct decision for the siblings. Them spliting for a few years also allowed Diana to matures and learn how to become stronger and survive without his brother.
Then they are back together and met new trouble to show their growth in handling things while continuing the "original" plot.
Yeah I adore how this manga doesnât let the children actually change the adults morals and choices.
They are a different time and it isnât like they are bad. In their head they are making the hard and yet correct choices.
I love that.
True! The morals and what was considered "normal" at that time is definitely different from what Cain and we knows, so it actually added the deepness on world building of this manga.
I also love how the author emphasized that not knowing is different from being a bad person, and as you said, Cain chose to change what he can change and didn't even try to waste his time on changing the adults that won't change at a mere words from a kid. This make this manga a lot more realistic in terms of characteristics and world building compared to other isekai manga.
The touch of reality is actually pretty nice after so many Webtoons where the adults are honestly insanely ready to listen to anything a child says lol. I know Genius an exist but wow.
Itâs also more interesting because with how the younger generations are changing I can see some huge political and family fights happening later on
Ikr! Adults that think "you're still a child you don't know anything" is more realistic but not popular. Cain is also considered a genius but his parents still won't believe every words of a mere child. People seems to prefer a wholesome family where the parents are very loving and trusting. This manga is fresh and interesting because it didn't follow the popular path but stay with their own plot to convey what they wanted to convey.
Yea, I know the mom's is pressured and hurt, and feeling guilty as well toward hyun.
But do you really just... abandon ur child just because of that...thinking that the child would be better off without her? A 10 y.o child who still don't know shit and spew nonsense out of social frustation? And its not like aids is an extremely contagious disease, as long as ur not exchanging the bearer's body fluid directly it should be fine. (Ex. Blood to blood, preganancy, blood transfusion, and well sex. Hugging and even kissing or sharing foods is not going to transfer it). My sister's friend is gay, have aids as well, but still doing fine hanging out with my sis and everyone else. My sis is fine, his family is fine. I asked chat gpt too and this is all true.
So yeah. A 10 y.o child could not abandon a parent, Hyun. So you are abandoned. Thats it.
