usually I don't like prolonging chapters, but I feel like with this one it should have been split into two, with more details added.
so you KNEW your mother killed her the last time around, and STILL this time you didn't immediately take her side????
IDK if this backstory is supposed to make me feel sorry for James, but it doesn't. Boohoo, bitch, you were literally the MOST INFORMED person among everyone, and you still kept fucking up.
I'm loving this but also Ennid's whole experience is giving me war flashbacks of my phd student days. The shit some phd students (and even some post docs and junior faculty) had to put up with was very similar, and the way some tenured professors set out to destroy careers for petty reasons was nothing short of nightmarish. If Ennid decided to turn into a villain and burn everything down I'd support him.
does anyone have any recs where the family gets to a point where they actually show genuine remorse and the MC doesn't just forgive them? I feel like this one has really good potential, and it left me wanting for more.
Back it up with a story pls! I’ve been her for 6ish years so I’ve seen a lot. I’m just too curious for my own good
honestly it's a pretty okay story, and the art usually isn't too bad either - I've read and seen worse. It's just... the times when the art depicts her with cat ears or one of those triangle-teeth, something in me cringes too hard to continue. IDK what is it about that type of art - maybe because it's such a 13yr old artist from tumblr core, but I just can't with it.
I'm just wondering how long will it take for ML to find out his real identity... on one hand mc is sooo different (regarding appearance) that it shouldn't be a quick and easy acceptance, but on the other hand I hate how drawn out things like these can end up being... Any spoilers are welcome!
"A pure love BL with a difference in age." I... I don't think the age difference is the #1 issue here. It's a close second, but based on the summary alone I could mayyybe name one that's a BIT more concerning.
honestly, I think it's good if Jerry tells Ilya his thoughts about Ilya's feelings etc. I hope nothing interrupts that. Then we can finally move on to a stage where Ilya (hopefully) starts debunking those misunderstandings.
Also that's a sweet, sweet future dream that Ilya's having. I support it.
In chapter 2 the glimpse of the newspaper ad states that his "little brother" is a snake.
I agree with the folks saying that the ML is the missing "little brother", but this does bring up some questions:
If you're a snake and you left behind a dried snake penis...
1. WHOSE dried snake penis is it?
2. Will it not cause awkwardness down the line in future if your partner sees your penis as an ingredient?
Lol.
is the king going to die and if yes, when will that happy event occur? I genuinely cannot stand him and NEED him to be gone asap. Ugh!
this is SO good! What an incredible plot, and the characterizations are so enjoyable.
Also his older version is hot af. Like gooodddaaammnn.
Eager to read the different pov, but meanwhile: I LOVE the writing, and the portrayal of the red flags all over this chapter - it's so believable because that's exactly how they can be IRL. MC thinks what he's being told is cute and romantic because 1. he's not taking what he's hearing TOO seriously, and 2. he's looking at everything through very rose tinted glasses. In reality, this is exactly the kind of conversation one goes back to wondering how the hell did they not pick up on the warning signs (moving in together quickly when one partner has much more financial security and is generally more dominant).
Anyway, I'm curious to see if the ML will develop into a red flag (I can see him becoming more controlling and possessive as well), or if it will actually be smooth sailing from here.
