This generation of authors is too talented for such shitty tropes. I don’t know how to make that make sense. The art is too beautiful to be wasted on rape. I’m really glad I saw the ending or I’d be deeply uncomfortable for the rest of the night.
Something tells me Isabella lived to tell the tale and lead big daddy ML to the hideout~
Or maybe I’m delulu lol
Jiho gets on my nerves. He really can’t rub two brain cells together to figure out an empathetic response. There’s been multiple times when Inwoo is clearly expressing that he isn’t okay and Jiho has me going “yes girl give us nothing.” On the bridge when he says “I’m not okay” and gets “I don’t know what to say” as a response because THATS HELPFUL. And now here, the man just gave you an entire synopsis of the story ending and says he can’t figure out how to land the most complex character and his melancholy and you go “then make him happy!” Are you fucking listening or? What part of the story gave you good feelings, it’s clearly not intended to be a manifestation of positivity since your boyfriend has been reflecting his life into it and he’s MISERABLE. COMFORT THE MAN. Jesus, Inwoo is out here doing all the work.
If only we could get this delicious art but with a savory plot instead of this stale cliche trope. Just imagine.
This is pissing me off so hard core that I am going to have to drop it until this is resolved. I don’t care how realistic this is for some people, unfortunately I’m not some people and I handled these types of manipulators much harsher in my life. I picked this up to escape reality not be hit in the face with reminders. Fucking hate when they do this to my feel good mangas. Okay, that’s all, just wanted to rant.
The mangaka must have more than one helper because some panels seem consistent with the original art style and are PERFECT and then immediately the next panel is so (with all respect because I’m sure they are trying and deserve no hate for that) sloppy and rudimentary. It ruins the experience of one of my favorite works on the platform which is so sad, I hope they notice this and adjust accordingly because it’s such a lovely work.
What do yall mean by “why is he hung up on family, he needs to let go and move on?” Move on to what? His rapists? He literally only came this far for his last remaining family member and I pity those of you who don’t have such a deep love for your family (blood or chosen) that you’d go through hell or high water to protect them. He’s clearly exhausted and this isn’t just a moment of “I’ll shield you” it’s a resignation, a “I’ll use my very last ounce of fight to cover you because if I can’t do what I promised then I’ll go with you, back to our mom and dad so we can be whole again.” Y'all act like him surviving beyond this (I’ve finished the novel but the MC doesn’t know his future so I’m saying this from his perspective) with his tormentors is appealing to him; his recent life has been quite bleak so “he needs to give up on his brother” is a bit heartless is all I’m saying. And he’s going to prove my point in the next few chapters.
Am I missing the part yall are ripping into Ken for? Where did he sleep with someone else? And even if he did, keep in mind they aren’t in an actual relationship, he’s literally in a glorified bondage contract against his will where it is being kept from him that he’s going to be sacrificed as a means to an end because his “partner” wants the sweet release of death. Which I wouldn’t call selfish seeing what Agia has been through but could abstractly call selfish when seeing him throw away someone else’s life for his own benefit after manipulating them into falling in love. Leave Ken alone, he didn’t want or ask for any of this from the start.
I love when the ML is feeling particularly strong emotion his real eye color peeks through, like we’re being reminded that his core self is still there waiting to be freed by the MC.
Would fucking die if my employer caught me sleepwalking naked into his pond after he just threatened to pluck out my eyes in the break room.
Sensei isn’t a love interest, unless it was a translation error they cut our precious MC off as he was saying “this is-“ so as not to reveal his identify. So he’s probably his brother or cousin or neighbor or something really overprotective, or potentially the lover of someone close to him. If I was close to MC and saw the way he was being treated by ML I can’t say I wouldn’t step in and whip out the old butter sock on the ML either.
The art is so goddamn beautiful but I’m just so put off by the MC, like every time I have to see him do anything I’m like “really, this is what you went with? This was your decision/reaction/intention?” Definitely not the worst MC we’ve ever had but still really just a frustrating one.
Tell me you don’t understand how to adapt a novel without telling me you don’t understand how to adapt a novel lmao. You have to finesse the scenes into a cliff hanger not literally just end the scene and call it good what was that.
You keep making so much noise about what are clearly perfectly fine translations and you’re eventually going to drive the translators into dropping this. If you’re that bothered and want to keep being bugaboos, do it your damn self or buy the officials, my word. It’s the same comments every time acting like you haven’t seen some actual trash translations on this platform (which this is not.)
This baby is freaking cute and then the artist slapped those thick ashy lashes on it and now I feel like I’m staring at a troll doll T.T
Am I the only one who thinks the author created unnecessary and unfair drama for Chiyo too now? Like he’s terrible, yes, but he did resolve to leave them alone and his handler was the one acting on his own “ideas” of what he thought Chiyo wanted to happen to Rindo. From start to finish he wasn’t involved and now he’s left to face the consequences of someone else’s actions and he wasn’t stable to begin with so it’s like if he hadn’t been roped in, had his emotions jumbled up and then left scared and abandoned to face what is basically the threat of losing everything at the hands of someone he views as the villain in his life he wouldn’t spiral again. Just my thoughts. The author should’ve ended this fucking ages ago when they had the amazing “I love you” make up sex.
Beautiful, delicious art that is gone within three seconds. I feel blue balled. :(
