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.
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
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
He needs to close his damn eyes good lord. Poor guy who’s the bottom cause did they add some heavy dosage of Dr. Teals pure epsom salt so he’s able to sleep through all that motion?? That one chapter he woke up and it looked like he still had the male love juices on his face, clinging on the mouth and shit…Crazy.
I see a lot of comparisons with killing stalking and night painter or whatever. Never read painter of the night but I can definitely see the sangwoo comparisons. I have a feeling that the story is just gonna be another copy and paste of a sexually abusive top and an a bottom who can’t escape from him unless one of them is dead by the end of the story










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
