this was devastatingly cute. our baby boy was so adorable and fucking cute and i wanted to kiss his cheeks. and then lotus was sexy but also cute and i loved the dynamic between them ughhhhh i loved this so much. it really just became one of my favorite fluffy comics
hmm, where do i start. Firstly, i think Paolo gave me like off brand Klause vibes. Off brand because Klause had this charm about him, where no matter how terrible he was and no matter how crazy he acted, it was hard to fully hate him; whether it was because of his backstory or because you could see how hard he tried to do better. But Paolo was just...idk i wasn’t feeling him from beginning to end, there wasn’t one scene where i thought “damn, i wish he had a redemption arc cause he could be pretty cool.” i hated him all around.
Sailou, was...tbh i don’t think he ever really liked or even loved Gabriel... in my opinion, from the moment he went through the list of boys he’s hooked up with, without even so much as thinking about Gabriel until the end of the list, i was already pretty sure the relationship between them was going to be lackluster at best. and i was right. he tried to play it off as not wanting to get caught up in anything more than quick hookups because of the whole black wolf curse thing as well as Gabriel being a priest but ultimately it was just because he’s not the commitment type. which, that’s fine but they didn’t even attempt to show it as more than an enjoyment between fuck buddies, meanwhile gabriel was already writing his wedding vows. i don’t really feel like they meshed well at all.
As far as Gabriel goes...bro wtf? lmfao i don’t even know where to begin here. first of all they had Riaz do the whole background check and make it seem like his parents had a whole plot on their life going on, but it was never explained. like?? was there more to the parents death or not? i have my own guess, but it doesn’t make sense to just completely jump over it. And although I’m not catholic, i kinda didn’t like how they made both the priests completely ignore their jobs and completely just go against it. but that feeling pales in comparison to the other feelings of dissatisfaction i have for this manga. it started off interestingly enough but like, the halfway mark you can tell was completely rushed and sped along.
it could have been a lot more interesting. the fight scene, Gabriel being the white wolf, the parents murder, paolo being in love with gabriel and even Sailou coming into his feelings.
I’ll be honest, i only wanted to read more of Tatsuo, i love him. bratty boys are always my favorite especially when there’s a gap between appearance and how they act. it’s so delectable.
mfaooooooo i deadass wasted 30 minutes of my entire life. yo wtf was this
I won’t lie and say i liked haero, because i didn’t. i hated him. it’s accurate to say this story is teetering on the edge of reality and fantasy. but maybe it’s just me being cynical in my beliefs that had 10 years passed, you’d have to be utterly foolish to want to get back with someone who’s deeply engraved your heart with so much pain. especially since his reason where so selfish.
as far as nanmi goes , i feel somewhat bad for her. although it’s right to say she did offer herself up to be a beard for him, he could have very well turned her down knowing that he was still in love with haero. not to mention, a beard doesn’t have to include sex. like whether he’s gay or bi, they both understood ww here his heart lay and yet she tried to forcefully pry his chest open and insert herself within him, while he tried to play birdbox and turn a blind eye to everything. they were both idiotic and an excuse of “they were young” doesn’t fly especially when a kid ended up being involved.
tbh ngl i think haero had some mental health problems because even at the end he was looking for a way to escape and to me it’s just seeming more narcissistic. if all of don's attention wasn’t on him he felt like he was unwanted and unimportant. that’s a fucking problem. especially when you claimed you’d never leave him again and that everything would change.
I’m mot writing all of this with the thought of this comic being bad, in fact i actually liked it. it made my heart hurt because of how much i can relate to some of these things, but i do think the ending maybe should have been rethinked because him ending up with a kid...i saw it coming but i still couldn’t believe it. it just felt like too much. anyway.
my heart fucking hurts bro. i don’t give a flying fuck about jade emperor, hades and the dragon. not only did i cry my eyes out when he was no longer able to see donga, but where tf is the wedding? bro..i really liked this comic but the ending just crushed my spirit and I’m still not done crying
Didn't the last chapter show the wedding? ch. ep2
okay yes i see, okay. thank you, i think it updated after i finished it so i didn’t see this. crying even more
lol i don’t give a absolute fuck about whether this is fantasy or not nor do i give a shit if someone disagrees but my over all opinion of this is that it’s a steaming pile of hot garbage. just because it’s not based on reality doesn’t mean that people won’t take this and base their own views on this shit and run like the wind.
the victim taking on the responsibility of the r*pist and saying that he was at fault because he hated himself? bullshit. i don’t give a rats ass if someone said they wanted to get railed 6 ways to sunday by the dude they met 2 hours ago, but if they’re put in the position where that outcome is possible but hesitate and end up not wanting it then guess what. THEY CAN SAY NO and that doesn’t make them a tease nor does it give the other person the goddamn right to use the excuse of them wanting it to force sex onto them and it’s fucking sick that i had to read a post seeing someone bash the dude for getting mad at his attacker. dubcon is barely passable because at the end of the day, even tho i don’t like it, the victim doesn’t usually outright call it r*pe or feel completely guilty or wronged at having forceful sec so i won’t put that tag on them themselves.
but dude....lmfaooo he literally called him a r*pist. i don’t know this really just made me so upset because the overal summarization seemed pretty interesting and went left. my biggest problems with plots like these is that they cause misunderstandings of the queer community. men forcing another men to have sex is r*pe but in manga it’s perfectly fine and seems has possessive love that means they just can’t hold back how much they love you. that’s fucked and for impressionable people, it could end up in a terrible toxic ass situation. god idk whatever I’m ranting sorry. i hated this a lot
I never agreed to something more
“don’t date straight men” words to live by right there. as a pan female, I’ve come to the conclusion that If i ever end up with a dude he’s gotta be queer of some sort because straight dudes just...they just not understanding about a lot of stuff (from the ones I’ve known) and very judgmental.
anyway, aside from my new life motto. i loveeeed this it was so cute and the shou was adorable. tho unless i missed it somewhere, i got a bit upset at how they focused on baby’s motto of hating straight men, but ignored the fact that the whole time the dude said sleeping with a guy is fine but he wouldn’t fall in love with one.
is it just me? or was it that he only said that after hearing baby talk about his hate for straights? idk tbh but even so i feel like they could have touched on that point just so that it’s explained. otherwise i really loved it
i loved their story a lot and i enjoyed the fact that there wasn’t a lot of basic tropes of jealousy and doubt. however. i really hate the stigma that a man forcing himself on another man “can’t be considered rape.” it’s bullshit. and disgusting.
