Ive only read the 1st chapter so far, but it's like the author just went for as much stereotypical anime cool mc factor as they could, telling us how strong he is the whole time through obscure measurements with meaning only to the author rather than letting his strength play out in the scenes. Then there's the cringy basic token hot chick introductions where the whole story stops to show a closeup frontal... the 2nd hot chick shown was in a position that was just so wildly nonsensical i had to stop and be like, "is this B laying down on the bleachers mid fight in a huge flowey dress in what looks like the single most uncomfortable position ever"? Maybe I'll continue, we'll see. I hear it gets better...

Is that just... how she casually watches these fights? Wtf?
Wtf is this even about? It just said "swinging at fouls" a lot... what is that even supposed to be code for?
It's a baseball metaphor. You aren't supposed to swing at foul balls. Best way I can think of explaining it is that he gets his signals crossed and misunderstands situations and acts on those misunderstandings when he really shouldn't. Like maybe somebody is just being polite, but he thinks they are hitting on them and starts to flirt with the person which makes them really uncomfortable because they aren't interested and he doesn't realize it at all.
The bastard clearly used a charm ability with his eyes and made her his and his parties slave for such a long time. They wouldn't let her get exp and worst of all he made her forget her dream of keeping her parents' shop. She's going to be heartbroken when she sees and remembers. ╥﹏╥
i think that's what happened oo though I didn't think that his parties members were also under the spell but now i agree well they're all trash in the end I just want to see what will happen if they meet again and that bastard tries to get closer to Mc again I wonder if she will be charmed or if kaido will open her eyes











Totally didn't realize Hojun was the other MC here. The beginning was all over the place, i thought the coworker was going to be the one. You end up understanding what's going on, but it's confusing at first. So, Gyulwoo and Hojun have been in love since middle school, but too scared to say anything. Hojun walks in on Gyulwoo being fucked by Jihyuk (just a fellow gay he met on message boards, his first gay friend he could talk about everything to. They never dated, they're just sex friends since their town was small), Gyulwoo freaks out thinking Hojun is disgusted and runs away to school in Seoul, then Gyulwoo's sister Hyeonwoo invites Hojun over while she lives with Gyulwoo again for a bit later in the future as Hojun and Hyeonwoo had kept in contact and were good friends. At this point Gyulwoo is working in a soul-sucking company and has a sort of crush, but really just lust, for this coworker named Doyun, who he had a one night stand with. This makes you think he's the guy, that the story will progress between them, but it actually ends up being that Doyun was just wanting to keep it a secret like he said that night and he's engaged soon after. Now Hojun is back in the picture, he's confessed like a man and he's romancing Gyulwoo, great progress too, they've had sex like 2 or 3 times and he's made Gyulwoo admit he liked him back then. Only thing in the way now is Gyulwoo's own insecurities, he's thought the entire time that Hojun liked his sister, Hyeonwoo.
