Chapter 1 understood the assignment, the rest of the stories were shoujo bromance types. Btw, the poly story threw me for a loop bc the decision to MARRY the prince she spoke to like 3 times max to be besties with the villainess was so freakin ludicrous). All in all, it's a fun non-shoujo ai read
My is Мой мармеладный by Katya Lel
OKURRR MANAGER! KICK THOSE LOSERS' ASSES!!! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
why tf is ml a homophobe so randomly? like bro is like the biggest raging homophobe but he's okay with mc being gay. ml acts super fucking gay for such an ardent homophobe if i'm being honest, like i know skinship is big among friends in korea, but i don't think sniffing someone like that comes under that.
also, ml really said bros over hoes in his decision on who can enter his house (not even his damn parents??? that's just sad lol). the funniest bit is when ml just excludes himself from the male community when he's all "guys are bad coz some guys bullied you" like???? babe yall are ALL GUYS
bro????? a completely consensual omegaverse story??? where the characters actively reject the common omegaverse characterizations????? with a yakuza setting???????? HELL YES
There's not one significant character in the story who's not fucked up in some way. These people genuinely horrified me and this was a great read precisely because of that. it got so uncomfortable (especially in the rapey parts and the end of the childhood arc) but I don't regret reading it. The leg amputation bit was truly shocking tho. Like the author left no stones unturned exploring the different ways this story could shock the reader.
bro that last photo of kasumi smiling just overwhelmed me into crying coz i'm so glad he's happy and chinnatsu's also happy. These babies are so sweet and they deserve the best
Taeui tryna make Maurer subconsciously believe "kim yongsoo" isn't Taeui: hello, it's a pleasure to meet you FOR THE FIRST TIME :)
The one with Maize was so tragic like dude's whole life was a social experiment for views
there are side stories that'll flesh out their backstory more and stuff, right????
bro is the sax player some kinda gay helen of troy? it's like all he does is breathe and everyone with a dick is turned on. also, why are the people around him so weird? his manager is obsessed with his sexy sax, the new pianist is a stalker (which was brushed off so casually like the guy STALKED YOU ENOUGH TO KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE AND STUFF), the drummer is a self-proclaimed rapist who only spewed cringy lines (till the last chapter at least), and the revenge seeker who's a total psycho. idk man i just can't take this seriously one bit.
Idk man there was no motivation for either of these two to like each other, ig maybe i've moved past the old yaoi logic? I expected a lil more oomph or sumn (and i don't mean in the smut way, more in the character motivation department)
