I don't mind an older looking guy, but those cheekbones make him look so gaunt-- its kinda creepy. He looked so much better in the first chapter.
I think it looks just fine. I love the alpha either way. They both grown men.
Really hated this after the rape scene. I was willing to pretend it never happened, but how can I when he literally has trauma because of it and it still affects him til now :(
But I'm a little disappointed that the drunk jerking-off incident happened. It was their first intimate experience, but it felt off. Maybe cause I was expecting it to be more.. romantic? This is a slow burn, so usually when a big step is made, its super exciting-- but that felt so anti-climactic and such a typical yaoi scene. So blah.
Anyway, gonna pretend that didn't happen, and they're both still cutely tiptoeing around their crush on each other. This chapter had me more excited than than the jerk-off.
Wait on which ch did that happen?? I don't remember such a thing happening(⊙…⊙ )
Bye, I dont remember them jorking it
Ch 20-21
thats the spirit
I feel like he killed his own father-- that's why his memories are messed up, cause of trauma and shit.
I really don't understand the hate for the ML. I get that he was kind of an ass by responding to the MC's adds, but in reality that kind of competition is healthy and it even boosted both their works-- so I also understand why he thought everything was just freindly competetive banter. He didn't admit outright that it was him because he was scared of how the MC would react, given that he expressed so such hate for ML's marketing persona. But he eventually (and very quickly) admitted everything, including his feelings, to the MC.
IDK, I guess I relate more to the ML rather than the MC who seems kind of indecisive and hot headed. His confidence is a tiny bit annoying, but his straightforwardness and sincerity make him a green flag I think.
I’d agree with you if he wasn’t just so smug about it all the time. There’s brimming confidence in what you’re capable and arrogance and I feel the ML is teetering towards the latter. A lot of his thought bubbles that us readers are fed often have a snarky albeit honest take on the MC (which I understand cause the temperamental MC whose emotions/ideals lead him can be kinda annoying for a lot of people) but it just rubs me the wrong way when he’s never shown his admiration or respect for his work until he started pursuing him romantically. And when others saw the ad copying they didn’t see as cute or endearing (what the ML seems to be referencing now) they came off as mocking and belittling.
I hope that at least we see him see and understand his(MC) perspective instead of catering only to how MC should feel about ML. If that makes sense
oh you ate with this comment. Well said!
Super agree on this.
Thank goodness the fighting scene was quick and over with. (The bleeding from the fingering seemed a bit excessive tho.) Good thing Won Dae knows what he's talking about, its nice the to see the ML grovel.
I thought it was his brother and I was so excited for him Only after reading the comments did I realize it was Xinlu lol
I thought they were a green flag couple, but after reading everything, they seem more like a yellow. Uke's the problematic one tho, way too controlling. And why do authors always write it in such a way that after someone gets sexually assaulted by someone else, their partner's instinct is to aggressively have sex with the victim instead of consoling them? Its so annoying.
