tbh, the start of the story was really good. it was interesting and full of suspense; everyone was suspicious and it was lowkey stressful. however, i think the characters are.... bland, for lack of better words. they have no purpose outside of driving the plot going... which is unfortunate bc i think the characters and their relationships could've been made more interesting.
not you, robert. fuck you. oh my god he kept getting on my nerve tbh. his obsession is so weird i fear he should've been the one taking the psychopath test bc what THE FAWKKKKK IS THAT STALKERISH BEHAVIORRRRRRR. he lowkey feltike a character that was made for. uh. decoy..? like created like that so you would be suspicious at him.
honestly, up until the climax, it was interesting. but the end felt rushed, and in an attempt to rush the ending, they focus more on getting the plot forward rather than getting the characters time to shine. and yet some parts of the information felt repetitive..? might've overthinking this but when they were bringing up the same topic but on different POV, it felt like they explained from the very start rather than getting straight to where the new POV has any meaning..? idk how to explain it.
god what happened to baron genuinely made me sad too. it felt like they just sweep it under the rug too it makes me so sad. thinking back of the last moment jonathan talked to baron too.. it genuinely makes me wanna cry.
and GOD everything that happened to kister..... i wish they write a closure for him bc an implied, open-end like this after that dramatic read makes me wanna punch the wall. i wish there was some extras or sumn for closure ahhhhhhh!!!
overall, yeah, good read. good plot. mid execution. lowkey shallow emotions. could've been better but it was definitely a good speedrun read.
NOT AMOTHRR SIDE STOFIES WITH CLIFFHANGER
its always like this :3
and i always come back to read this knowing all that.... i fear i exhibit masochistic traits
"It will have a good ending" :3
correct me if I'm wrong
I think i'm a lil bit of sadistic instead.
(Why this cliffhanger kinda remind me of Minmotion Syndrome)
My instinct was telling me but to read it, now I am baffled. Have to wait
the typa read that i would devour without question if i read this back in 2017 fr.. it was fun. started silly, but then it got serious. pretty interesting. a bit (very) cringey tho but got me hooked up surprisingly.
i do agree.... cherry got on my nerve sm man. esp with everything that happened with love's past. cherry lowkey isnt any better than zero tbh with how manipulative he was. idk why he was treated any differently than another manipulator when the whole premise was about a guy running away from his trauma of being manipulated by a guy? yet another manipulator got his own happy ending?
cherry blamed everything that happened to king on love, but did he seriously forget that the only reason he got to stick to king in the first place was bc of LOVE? did he forget king basically was dead set on not letting cherry join, but LOVE was the one that insisted??? also it wasnt ideal, but king getting dragged into all of that and ended up with cherry was literally bc of LOVE too, if he wanna say everything is love's responsibility lol. him being kidnapped wasnt even love's fault in the first place lets be fucking honest ? it was his cray brother's doing basically locking him up in the hospital, and then all of the other is lion's doing. yet he wanna blame it all on love? like fr? like damn girl if you really wanan blame it on the source, blame your fucking self and your fucking family for developing on insane drugs like that man. everything wouldn't have gotten to that extent if your stupid family just didnt create that drugs and you and your people didnt distribute those drugs man. oh, another thing. it wouldn't have escalated if cherry didnt fucking beat up the random bikers gang that were actually THEIR AIDS! but he wont be able to think about that at all, right? narcissist.
my thought on cherry at first was lukewarm at best, aside from him being obnoxious like with the zeta guy. but the end ? after disappearing and suddenly acting all righteous like a hero ? dawg go kys actually you have no rights to tell love to kill himself.
Yes!!!!! Fuck cherry, seriously!! Dude didn’t deserve a happy ending! He’s a psycho like lion and a manipulator like zero. He basically stockholm syndrome-d king into being with him. Ugh
I believe he's shifting the blame to Love because Cherry knows all too well that he had a hand with King's injury, with the drugs and all coming from their gang.
yeah. so like. a childish Young Master who'd rather pin the blame on others, to the point of willingly telling an innocent guy to kill himself, than recognizing his involvement in king's injury and taking responsibility as a way to atone for his mistakes
yeah, cherry stinks. but, who’s really mature at 15? no one xD
this one makes my heart ache so much. it's beautiful, adorable but also really heavy. it was realistic in a way that the ending doesnt exactly end in resolve, but it is a nicely wrapped ending either way. but god i wish we could see a more joyful, successful future of them tbh... it just feels unfair to me and my heart breaks for sentarou
