Sakura miyuki’s character design and brief portrayal alone made me want her I am so girlfriendless in these trying times (pride month)
I respect you but I am built different. I am sustained by doomed yuri. Doomed yuri will save me. I love the imagery in of Ivan forcing the burden of his love onto till, of dying for him. I felt schadenfreude over Luka’s sorrow of him losing hyuna. I love hyuna and hated to see her go, but after Luca willingly entered ALNST for the second time after winning once before and then doing it all over again, fucking with Mizi and till’s head during the competition, I did not feel sympathy for him. I know in a system that seeks to idolize and exploit people like him being at the top is the only way, but him reentering does not make me like him. I’m angry that hyuna’s fighting spirit and desire to save others, her unending light was snuffed so swiftly.
Mizi and sua though, the truly were the beginning and the end of this series. Their love was so true and reciprocated. I cannot imagine being alive as Mizi though, after knowingly allowing her beloved to sacrifice herself for her. I felt her guilt so strongly, for not having loved sua as much as sua loved her. My heart broke over sua giving Mizi more lines to ensure she won. Broke again over sua succumbing to her fate, willing to die just so Mizi could live a little longer.
In the end I am happy that till and Mizi are alive. While Mizi’s whereabouts are unknown, I’m so happy to see till live and save children, no longer longing for love. I think this is the best way alien stage could’ve ended, given the course of events.
Hayato could’ve told Touma why he was getting married. Just because he got blackmailed by the girl claiming to be in love with him he didn’t have to hold to her demand to keep the conversation between them. It makes sense that touma held a grudge so strong he wouldn’t let any reincarnations of himself be happy with hayato’s reincarnations. After all he ended himself full of heartbreak over being abandoned. Reasonable crashout.
FUCK the tension of this situation nearly killed me I’m glad they’re still alive.
The fact that Uno took it upon his ego that Enzo did not want him and makes a joke about it only for Enzo to say ‘I don’t recall saying that I don’t find you appealing. I simply would rather not sleep with you, that’s all.’ Bro is a troll lmaooo
Ngl Red Candy also kinda my GOAT and I love this story so far too so please stop putting one down over the other. ANYWAY enzo really said if I was into you you’d wish otherwise. Given the events of chapter 1 where enzo follows uno/adrian through a building mid construction and shoots him off of hanging beams we can see that he was speaking straight facts.
Uyun dreaming about getting married to jinhyeong while he’s tied up in the mattress this guy is too cute no wonder jinhyeong fell in love with him despite not wanting to.
Personally I don’t like how he’s portrayed as a bi guy with interest in so many people at once to the point of emotionally playing with many of them but it was alright bc I thought that it’s a goofy manhwa with serious depictions sometimes it’s okay one bi stereotype is alright but then the groping happened and now literally SA WHY. Don’t do this to people when they’re drunk even if you’re drunk yourself. If you can’t control yourself you don’t deserve to be drinking around people who are put in danger soon as all of y’all are drunk. Damn. The stereotyping I was okay with bc gag manhwa but the drunk ass eating is just assault and not a funny hehehaha thing. I am not looking forward to seeing how Eun-oh and Isaac/Isak are going to interact with from now on after this lowkey assault played for gags happened.
I’m glad Enzo saw right through the rush replacement bullshit of the connector and figured ‘well if it works it works’ and Uno being a freak as usual so funny dude is like ‘yeah I just fucked this guy he’s literally in my arms as I opened the door’ what is bro doing? This the kind of connector he is?
But honestly what kinda gym is that. Also the manhwa writer genuinely giving tips to do the exercises ain’t no one doing that gooner version of the exercise I KNOW that gym must smell RANK even ordinary gyms smell bad if equipment is not cleaned of sweat after use, I can’t believe what this place is like with all the lube and cum and fucking ewww
Uno is a nasty piece of work lmfaoooooo (/affectionate)
Edit: this is one of those moments where I really wish more manhwa especially this one in particular would’ve gone the switch couple route. Bro come ON.
I finished reading one room TA 2 days ago and since witnessing the sheer peak of BL manhwa writing I have finally achieved enlightenment and decided to stop punishing myself by continuing to read horseshit writing like this bitchfuck asshole getting together with the dude he abused. I pray all of you find a manhwa that makes you save yourself from the toxic vicious cycle of reading shit stories with good art. All the best. Love you.
Story ripped a hole in me only to stitch me back up seriously seeing song rik reunite with his mother in the special episode without malice and with his whole heart something truly healed in me.
When he realises ji9star is fucking Jigu lmao I hope he has a funny inner monologue about how differently they both talk. Also Jigu lowkey a brat (and loser (/affectionate)) for saying I look handsome my neighbour hyung told me when the hyung in question is literally yeonwoo.
Being in a friendship like this that feels like you’re closer than family, living out of each other’s pockets and losing it is the worst. Just drifting from my bestie made me half crazy, I can’t imagine the relentless pain of having made each other miserable to the point of not even your last goodbyes being of any resolution. Fucking hell. I can’t believe the manhwa artist does this sort of heart shredding writing/creating on the side while being a grad student.
‘We obviously have to approach him in a non-slutty way’ lmao shadow is such a legend anyway…
I discovered when this chapter was published that bad apple is being uploaded simultaneously on lehzin kr and boomtoon kr. Get that bag Hanse!!
Also, enzo looks so funny in that first panel of his in a lounge chair. Lounge chairs aren’t so big as to dwarf 6 foot+ people lol.
Even though we pretend it wasn’t really an issue, class really is something that can get in between friendship. But here it’s just so much worse. Song rik has been abused so bad he thinks the only way to be together is to be each other’s whole world, honestly the way he acts would lead to a violent and scary idea of family/relationship. I think he has a lot of growing to do, but it’s so hard when you have no one in your corner apart from someone who’s also dealing a lot. The bullying was fucking awful man, orchestrating people to cut down your friend in the way that would make him feel the worst is digusting. I’m glad that jinhyeong cut him loose. He recognised how bad things were and how much worse it can get. Imagine getting bullied by your friend and then them demanding you cut your bio family out to depend solely on them so you can be together. That’s crazy.
But GOD. I cannot still digest telling your former friend/ now bully that they deserved to be abandoned by their mother because of how much they resemble their father who abused them. Fuck. It’s using the same tactics as song rik did initially, digging in where it hurts, but having it said vicariously while the others don’t understand it’s a deliberate dig vs in a setting where the whole school would come to know how bad someone’s life is, knowing it won’t lead to sympathy but mockery is crazy. I think the reason jinhyeong couldn’t ’look people in the eye’ apart from just song rik’s expression is probably that he realised that same thing, realised how far he pushed and down he kicked song rik.
Saying they’d watch us cry while we read their manhwa with sparkly eyes lol I think it’s really cute that creators enjoy moving their readers to the point of tears (of emotion and not frustration) because this means they did a good job getting the reader invested.
Also, soop2rang: calls kihoon a himbo with no thought.
Me: why am I gasping? I already knew that.
