I clench my fist and curse any higher being out there, whenever I see a fine ass man in a suit who’s a hard worker that’s muscular or cute. It’s a dying genre and it’s not being persevered and this just reminded me of that cruel reality.
Aside from the jokes - they’re so cute! I love how realistic and healthy they felt. The little semi fight they had in the beginning, if you can even call it that, was dealt with so healthily. It was nice seeing the chief take into account his own personality and his past experiences/mistakes. I liked that despite it also being his first relationship, the bottom didn’t come in completely unprepared either. It was really sweet the way their relationship progressed. Adult romances r the best,,,, specifically office romances too.
Every once in a while throughout reading multiple BL manhwas you’ll get the gems.
ILL SAY THIS NOW - they love each other so much. I am so so fucking soft. I’ve never seen so much softened in a relationship.
To start off, the plot is instantly engaging. You do not get bored within the beginning, middle, or end. The mystery with the chief is enthralling as it is confusing as you go along with the ML as to what is going on, and then when you get to the WHAT, it’s still so good.
The characters are so good too, not one person left a bad taste in my mouth (besides maybe the second chief and even he somewhat was helpful at the end). No toxicity and nothing to really complain about. They were well fleshed out and executed nicely.
AND THE LOVEE GOD I WAS CRYING, they loved each other so much it was so sweet. Everything they did for each was just so adorable. I loved it sm.
Hey future me ; it seems like they’re insinuating he had a relationship with a professor (?) or something here. An adult for sure. Barely started this, let me know how it goes.
Edit: hey past me - good news, it doesn’t fucking matter in the long run. It was a passing thing.
The story was the cutest fucking thing, somehow one of them grew into a giant by the end of it and the fox stayed a fox and somehow almost fucking died??? Idk I’m too tired to even make a proper review on this but - Crazy ride that was too adorable.
I felt so bad for the bottom ;-; someone please fucking save him. General came in a clutch.
Idc how many times the emperor says sorry, 5 years wasn’t enough for how much he put him through.
The straight up ASSAULT.
Not once.
Not twice.
But multiple fucking times. In winter. In front of people. In front of his friend. Is FOUL.
Like I get toxicity and yada yada yada, but this is tooooo mf toxic.
I needed to see those 5 years of suffering to feel when a semblance of peace.
It was hella satisfying when he stabbed himself.
And we can all agree the General deserves everything.
When the translator said there was defenders of the abuse I didn’t believe it but alas ;-; here I read all stories from start to finish to either like/hate on them properly.
Reading comprehension skills r top tier.
So was the blood when he was assaulted those times just for decoration?
Was leaving him in the cold during a snow storm just for funsies?
Was assaulting him in front of the general just cuz he was in a silly goofy mood?
I’m no saint, I like my toxic and possessive tops but this mf took a knob and cranked it to 30. He broke it and then did a 180 later on.
I feel like I was vibing a lot with the 1st couple and then their story ended and it was like awww, alright well.
And then I saw the chapter count and I was like, damn we still got either a lot of a side story or a 2nd couple…
Well I was not expecting dickwad to be the ML of the 2nd couple, but I should’ve and tbh, his in depth approach was done really well. He evidently had way more going on than the 1st couple so it made sense that the 2nd couple’s story was longer. 1st couple just had miscommunication issues.
2nd couple had big money issues with a bitch brother and a short ugly fucker father. Add that with all that he did and his issues dealing with his emotions, it makes for a really good story.
Now something PERSONAL and v lil gripe, all my own feelings entirely baseless and not taking away from the story and how good it was - GOOODD I KNOW HE DID THEM DIRTY, but if ur gonna have a second couple at least make them friends?
I was so disappointed when I read the author notes to know the 1st couple cut him off after the TV thing with seems slightly out of character for them considering they literally had a whole communication thing going on.
And also, he should’ve at least apologized.
I just like when the side couples r like… relevant to the entire story. It’s just sad to cut off one couple for the other, I’ve always liked when they’re all friends so we can see them like a cameo.
Sincerely so used to the toxic MLs that I was waiting for Jones to be some messed up alpha or like not when messed up, just mean in some sense, but I was so pleasantly surprised he’s just a chill dude.
Glad to see him sharpen up a bit too for Lyle’s sake.
Overall the story was great too, entirely pleasant and I like the stake being the miscommunication cuz it makes sense that two emotionally inept people (chill dude X closed off dude) would be incapable of communicating until some internal realization takes place.
They’re relationship progressed so nicely afterwards it’s so cuteeeee.
And a round of applause for the Alpha X Alpha.










I loved how much Kieth genuinely wanted First. It was my favorite to see the unrequited love become slowly requited.
