I have to admit, this story picks up at almost ~38ish something, the one that intrigue me the most is the psychological part of this story.
The initial chapters were kind of a mess of disconnected scenes, but it got better as time goes on....
Wish that this story isn't dropped, cause I'd love to read season 3(⌒▽⌒)
I've re-read this quite a few times already. Super bittersweet. Towa is such a cutie :D
I wish that they had a re-encounter, instead of herapi seeking out naguru first. Ofc, being a simp is not a sin. But naguru immediately saying i want to be family with you and the baby does NOT leave me feeling 100% happy...
He was lonely, and herapi suddenly appears, kaboom maybe family was the guy i rejected all along. It got me thinking, what if herapi does not take the first step? (i mean he got rejected twice already hahah)
Don't get me wrong, he does say 'he lost, he wanted to be together with herapi', but its not fleshed out well. We don't know what naguru is thinkingggggg, was he spiralling because he needs a stable support system, he misses his family or does he NEED herapi. If its all together, then i sooo wanted them to meet each other again spontaneously and get to know each other better.
So that's why i wish they had a chance encounter, makes the emotion of being reunited more... of longing for each other and not from loneliness only. Maybe meeting herapi with crying baby towa at a park or something.
But all in all i love the visuals, the vehicles is fire. Naguru punching herapi makes me respect him cause he's true to his words AHAHAH though it left me speechless at first loll. And towa must've been herapi's sister's or something cause he was already born when he was meeting naguru (the nostalgic baby powder part)
CUTEEEE, and needed a reread from me
Edit: I love this so much!!!!! They have similar looks, similar taste, and is soooo whipped to each other! Nearing the end, i cried and some moments really make me reflect on myself lol. Because its true, how envious it is to see someone fighting the world for something they love. And that's very admirable.
Now now, some people say that this is a good beginner bl. Why? Because of its simple storyline? I disagree with them saying this is for 'beginners'. True, this manhwa is a feel good story, but its rare to see one with endearing characters(main and sides), that keeps you hooked til the end without making it boring(of course there are plot holes, but its one which i can ignore lol). i appreciate the simplicity, and the growth they underwent as a person and the relationship hehe
c25 - everything sucks, except euiyong and euihyun. Man, i love euihyun he's so resilient and strongㅠㅠ as far as c25, i can see why people likes taeju, but hes in the grey area for me.
Likable things about him - chaotic funny guy,, not a heartless debt collector lol he have sympathy???? Lol funny cause it is quite a clash w his job
Unlikable things about him - u can't deny that he coerced euihyun into sex. Then, he's giving mixed signals and i hate that,, what do u want from euihyun hm?? Do u want love??? As his debtor???? LOLOLOL I know that this is the conflict but god, eihyun had suffered enough. all this time it seems like eihyun is freely given a choice, but he's not free. Haih
c34 - ooh i love how the author is going to go w this. As a dogblood troupe connoisseur, i wonder how the author will cook kept man into love.... soo, introducing the 2nd lead lol. Euihyun's psyche is soooo understandable i wished he found some friends
c100 - binged in a day... i should've predicted kidnapping plot too hahah, but i was right about stabbing to protect someone loll,,, at ch50~ there was non-con, i hate every second of it i skipped it. However, i persevere cause euihyun is just that cool. And boy at least taeju change his ways.... If euihyun forgives him then its okay, people are built differently after all (no 2nd chances w me, but what can i say lol, they're fictional). If after this second chance, taeju still fuck it up, then pls leave his sorry ass. Euiyong such a cutiepie :D
Lots of fault, lots of apologies and own up,, i appreciate that. Matched eo freaks frfr 3.9/5
However now i know why im not satisfied reading both stories, the pacing is off. Like, too fast?? The emotional part is being glossed over/not explored well, and feels cluncky stiff...
>have a ring and a backstory
>mad ml treated him like a whore
>never denies and plays into it
（/TДT)/
Communication is key. Like srsly.
I dislike the ml at first, but i know that he has his reasons. ive been there hahah. Though my life has a different scenario, it sucks to feel like you're talking to a wall, feeling like you are the only one invested in the predicament you are in,, especially when you know how much of a talker they are.
But in this manga, the ml himself doesn't know how to express his feelings straight forwardly, paired with a 'put your heart on ur sleeve' mc....Makes for a nice conflict ig. At least it works out at the end, that communication barrier is broken down in mls way. Lastly, reassurance and security can be expressed in many ways after all. Get ur feeling across yeah, no one can read anybodys mind. End of my ted talk lol. The artwork is flippa beautiful.
im dropping this at chp 25. Since theyre dumping everything messily, why don't the author dump why kang jin was sooooo hung up on vx. He's really putting vx on A PEDESTAL. im going to ASSUME that he's an orphan who found joy in hacking(?), being a hot blooded youth tried to hack vx and somehow vx takes him as an apprentice and he found family in zeta group. Why would he feel so guilty????? He doesn't betray them, HECK he doesn't really need to ghost his group???? He can go find them under different aliases. Why? Does he feel like a waste of a human being? Its not explored at ALLLLLLL, his psyche & his trauma is shown in one off occasion, HE HAS NO CHARACTER BACKGROUND as of chap 25, and the chasing arc is starting so i don't think I'll see it any sooner. Wasted potential, wasted wasted wasted my morning.

my episodic rant:
I'm already vexed at the early chapters. Cmon, running on foot and gun chasers. Show some scars or injury at least. Hahah. It doesn't feel intense no matter how i looked at it.
I'm only at chapter 11, but the author is really bad at foreshadowing hahah. It's fucking predictable, ml murmuring to himself I've talked to you casually before etc just makes it clear that he's VX. mc has no other background history too, no friend no whatever relationship so it HAS to be vx. In this chap, mc mentioned that his private never exposed before code is easily breached through, im not a hacker myself of course, but I'll probably check on my NEW SHINY PHONE that i got from a fucking STRANGER who COINCIDENTALLY speaks korean.
Chap 17. Yup. Wtf. Huh. So it really is the damn phone. It's so funny that a hacker of all people would say 'i don't need to be so suspicious', when his life had been threatened for NO REASON before. He's dumping all his plan to a stranger, who knew AT A GLANCE that he's rat, who could be his mortal enemy. Yeah yeah ml is vx, how surprising and shocked i am what a plot twist. The supposed black is vx too how flabbergasted i am.
Chap 19, why did he splash the manager, as of now, mc is never really portrayed as the playful type. He's passionate and concerned yes, but not playful. So it comes off as rude to me.
Chap 24. Kang jin is srsly, too gullible. Since chap idk when, he suspect that black was vx, since their modus was similar. But he never dig into it and believes that black is his fan for NO REASON other than the fact that hes helping him UNCONDITIONALLY, no payment no what not. Suspicious right? He was startled and lost his revenge target...wtf
People who say that hes an asshole is saintly as a teen huh. hes a grieving teenager, and you know what teenagers is best at? Being an asshole, especially to an unsolicited reaction.
Tori I'll draw you All this time ive been wondering if the author forgot that tori is a spirit, cause there is no reaction to floating carrots etc in previous chapters ╮(￣▽￣)╭
