Cherry picking is definitely the right title for this story, I hate to say that the first couple wasn’t my favorite. That’s only because Hansol kept going back and forth between the two guys and it was irritating. He was also reconsidering after he met Enho in the cafe to end things but knowing how much of a charismatic prick he is Hansol was like wait wait… maybe I can have sex with him LIKE YPURE IN LOVE JUST GET OUT.
The second couple is toxic but I enjoy the development that’s going on between the two. Though Rakhyun is a total douchebag I’m glad to see him put in his place after being a weirdo stalker, Enho isn’t getting a get out of jail card either cause of all that sexual forcefulness. Rakhyun is starting to be a little bit more honest but he needs to fess up one of these days that everything he said about him being the guy who sleeps around is so not true. Also Enho should open up more about his past and his insecurities, maybe it’ll come up in the future idk. Their dynamic to me is like abusive girlfriend and her somewhat compliant boyfriend help
I second what u said about the mc honestly his actions annoyed me , the way he doesn't have a middle ground to stand on
Shifting his opinion and feelings and sex choices with the wind
Just when this was starting to get good ofc they would have some FREAK ass old man to ruin the moment. I do love some old man yaoi but GET OUT OF THE WAY. Now I don’t remember if the ML ever talked about his parents besides the glimpse of a fire in the first chapter most likely relating to his backstory but that old guy kinda resembles him, only for the eyes.
If that’s the case then like father like son yk yk but I don’t want this to heart my break too if the other guy had to choose the old man at some point in the story like a pinnacle part or whatever :|
I dropped reading it on the 11th chapter after all that rape bs and seeing one of the comments talk about the novel, it’s a shame. I REALLY like this artstyle, the way this artist draws is like eye candy to me but like why do the stories they draw are such dog dookie... and problematic huh… if you like this then whatever man, unethical BLs like these is like how people read splatter gore books for fun. I’m proud to say that I’m never gonna touch this again, I wish mangago has a feature where you can blacklist a manga from ever seeing it in a category cause everytime I see it in the update yaoi tag I feel a sense of dread
I don’t get how people can say that this is pseudo incest or call the duke a pedo, while there is a huge plot hole as to how they met that wasn’t from the fountain. It’s clear that the younger duke first met Alois as an adult, it wouldn’t be until the older version of him was like ok go find him is where he met the younger version of Alois. I think it’s safe to say that the younger version fell in love with Alois present imo.
The duke helped him grow up but there was no indication that they are considered as ‘parent and child’ he didn’t groom him to be his lover. He even rejected Alois advances even though he is a legal adult. Duke wanted the best for Alois even if it wasn’t with him, he even admitted that in chapter 4. I don’t want to say media literacy is dead but some of these comments… overall it was a solid read, neither bad or good.
It’s not a pothole, it’s a closed time loop. Yes there exists now an alternate time timeline where Alois first makes his wish, but after that they only exist in a closed time loop where the younger Duke meets adult Alois and falls in love before going back to find him as a child.
sorry I don't understand, can u explain a bit? How is there no plot hole? we never find out how the first original Duke survives death tho?? How did the loop start
Once the loop starts, it continues to exist. When it started does not matter. The moment Alois went to the fountain and pulled the Duke from the past is when the time loop begins. The Duke survived because he was pulled by the fountain. When he returns to his time we can assume that he was able to get the upper hand and slaughter his (father?) who just watched him get whisked away by a bright light.
The whole point of the timeloop is how their mutual love for each other ends up saving both of them. Alois saves Theo and Theo in turn grows up to save Alois as a child.
I get that time travel sucks and yall haven’t read much with time loops but yeah. It’s definitely explained and makes sense
aaah oki thanks
Finally… hatefuck yuri…. This is all I wanted…, I’m gonna cry from joy. The complexity between these two character is so, god I love women
Honestly, the art and the sex scenes were awesome but like. I can’t get over the fact that these guy are technically related, I guess it’s like marrying a second cousin?? Kinda weird, also felt bad for Jashid for doing stuff to the royals just to meet the dragon
Just think of it as a clan, but a sad one tho like Sohma clan in Fruit Basket
I did some digging through the original works and I didn’t even know that it was a novel originally. I looked through the artist account on Twitter (@samaksatang) said that it will end on chapter 40 and there wouldn’t be any sides stories, but the author of the Hungry Souls novel (@AI_tuner) just released the second part called Scorched souls featuring the Alpha and the older brother. Apparently it was finished 5 years ago and they never uploaded it lol. It should be on Ridibook now if anyone’s interested in knowing the second part!
I don’t know if the artist will draw the second part but I can only hope
Thank you for your service
It ended pretty abruptly but I had a feeling that the author was going back and forth with it, there’s some cuts in the story that felt unfinished. Not the best but it was pretty ok. Call me crazy but I think the older brother and Alpha should boombayah or something
Stop I was thinking the same thing. Hope they make another manhwa for them fr
won't there be any sides?
God I hope so
I DONT THINK SO I JUST CHECKED THE ARTIST TWITTER, they said there’s no sides when someone ask if it really ends on chapter 40. I’m chewing on cardboard as we speak
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHYYYYY???!!!!
When me and my gf are in a miscommunication and gaslighting contest and we’re up against Sihyun and Joowan
Everytime I see that big stupid gigantic whale of a Willy I start tearing up, and that’s all 24 chapters I don’t have it left in me. The way it just hangs low like a breast implant that’s way over its CCs limits and they just have to get a replay of the first chapter of his baby batter all over the monsters come on dude I
The most yaoi slop that’s sloppiest, amazing
