I CANT BELIEVE IM GONNA CHANT THIS EVERY UPDATE BUT I FEEL ANXIOUS SO PLEASE PLEASE HAVE A GOOD ENDING AND BE HAPPY
also the things that were done to his dad and his dad's sister were horrible af I understand why it made him that way but it doesn't warrant him to become the exact same thing he loathed... I'm just happy lin che managed to escape from that. I genuinely want him to be happy now please... but because he got involved with shady business before it might be too late. just hoping I'm wrong
honestly can't see jaekyung getting jealous over this tbh. and i don't see his actions being jealous, just inconvenienced.
but also why do people act like jaekyung never did anything good? it's all masked by his horrible temper and forceful personality but he's helped doc dan get out of dangerous situations - it's been brought up since before that jaekyung could've left him alone or done other things that would help dan in ways that would inconvenience jaekyung less (just enough so that he could retain his convenient buddy) but he did the most anyways.
jaekyung is moody af - if his personality was someone like heesung's but did all the things he did (invite dan for sex in exchange for money and fuck him 24/7 whenever he wants as per *agreed*) y'all will let him off easier.
I've encountered so many manga/manhwa where the top is very manipulative with a fox like personality who rarely gets mad and gets the bottom to have sex with him always but none of the readers reacted as harshly as people on jaekyung because of his temper
not saying he's the best and not toxic of course. but with the way people are talking, y'all act as if he's beaten up doc dan and mistreated him while he was in his house lol. at most what he did was being forceful during sex and having dubious consent over it lol y'all need some refresher on this one
what if mingwa throws us all off guard and have heesung be the endgame instead
if i were the author id do something completely out of my style to throw the readers off lol. but i believe hate mate did something like that where the first lead isn't the endgame.
(im someone who sticks to the main lead most of the time btw idk why but i do so im still happy it's gonna go the jaekyung way irl tho ill definitely root for heesung lol)
i cant finish it for that reason i sometimes get so attached to first leads that it's toxic especially that i read it early on when it still had few chapters. i havent updated myself in so long and seeing that they did not end up with each other, i just didn't have the motivation to pick it up again. though i acknowledge it was for the best, as ive heard from others. still, im a sucker for their dynamic at first that's why i was rooting for the first lead. guess stuff happened that I didn't know of - but it's too late i was already in too deep supporting the main lead lol
i wonder if the author has worked as an assistant for action mangas before cause the art thus far for the combats scenes are sick as hell. you can tell it's art done by someone experienced in the area.
i know im in this for the BL but i wouldn't mind if they show more of the fights - that panel with the lady sorcerer was so cool (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
also y'all im pretty sure akiharu loves riku already but is either isn't realizing it or is deluding himself. since he's someone who has always watched riku from afar and has always shipped him with hiroki, he likely feels like he isn't deserving to be in that place - aida's words (where he said the friend was just a plot device and rikiya's feelings for the friend was just imagination) were definitely what strengthened this feeling more for him i feel bad ╥﹏╥ it isn't aida's fault though, she doesn't know... but i feel like even in real life, akiharu feels the burden since a lot of other people also ships hiroriki ╥﹏╥
i really feel like akiharu also already liked him (a bit or not, doesn't matter) way before. i feel like hearing things about him, being curious and all are indicators he really was interested in riku already (not as a friend, he's just deluding himself that it is).
it's pretty obvious since chapter 2 that he likes riku already. him being insinuated to be feeling sad when he's just watching them from afar and him asking aida if it's okay if rikiya (novel) ends up with the friend are telling!!!









i might be alone on this one but ill just say this. i hated how it's owada always doing the most. also it's kinda hypocritical of katou to say "i dont know what you're thinking" and "you're deciding things one sidedly" when: he isn't sharing what he thinks and only does AFTER owada says sorry and spills his guts out himself; plus katou also assumes a lot of things and decides to end things himself (like leaving saying it's okay it's done it's over after assuming owada doesn't like him anymore or doesn't want anything to do with him) without asking owada what he was thinking. he's literally describing himself. as much as i like their dynamic itself, it's always owada that adjusts and i hate that imbalance in the relationship. owada might be an overthinker and assumes a lot of things but he's quick to take it back, apologize, and spill his thoughts out unlike katou who keeps it in only until the other party does something. he knows owada is insecure af but does nothing to reassure him and instead only gets angry ending up with owada apologizing agh.
he literally was hiding the fact that he was gonna let mimasaka train his ass wtf. owada being insecure about the way katou doesn't trust him unlike he does mimasaka is well founded cause why tf would you let your friend do that over your boyfriend? and the fact the mangaka glossed that over as if that's normal? wtf.
all the way through the manga, the mangaka made it seem like all the issues were caused by owada's insecurity but heck it's because of katou refusing to talk and deciding things by himself (both things he criticized owada for lol). i don't like it.
i believe i ranted something similar when i read this before but the feelings just reignited haha.
everything u said is so real
i feel so validated no one was mentioning about this so i felt alone lol!
no like the whole “let him train my ass bc he has experience with anal” was wild to me
right??!?! and the way they just forgot about it like if i were his bf that would've never left my brain and at that point ill just break off with him
the most annoying part is that they don’t even get better at communicating in the sequel lmfao i mean i guess it’s a bit better but still sucks
fr if anything annoying happens again ill be dropping it
