I'm so done with the "extremely overprotective dad/grandpa/brothers(/any male relative/caretaker)" trope where they get upset that kids are being kids. Like oh my fucking gods, get over yourself, they're five!! Holding hands means nothing!! Let them be kids!! ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ

Since I was young, I never understood my male relatives joking about buying a new gun when their daughters were born, like what, you're going to shoot any man who tries to approach her?? And that's supposed to be funny?? (Ironically, both of my cousins turned out to be gay)
People really be stuck in the heteronormative culture that they think this is funny I just get the urge to slap the duke for thinking it's somehow inappropriate

Y'know, before this anthology, I didn't realise exactly JUST how much of a sucker I am for gap moe and uh yeah the fact that I love every single story we've had so far (and I want more) probably speaks for itself (￣∇￣")

Despite me reading ahead in the raws, I always get so giddy and excited reading the English TL simply because so much of this story has to do with the context of text and dialogue, the characters' inner thoughts and perspectives... I absolutely love it!! It makes me wonder what is going on in certain parts and I can make my assumptions, and now get to see them being much more gay than I thought before haha (▰˘◡˘▰) I'm actually trashing in my bed and kicking my legs inside the blanket anytime there is an update. This is why I love slow burns!!

There's no way Hangyul would be so dense to miss this change in our lovely Mr. Oblivious, he's always been looking at Robin, there's no way he wouldn't notice!! I'm desperate to see his side of things too, Hangyul my boy your love is no longer unrequited ╥﹏╥

Despite the story literally describing them "as close a siblings" and how they really do act like siblings at some parts, because the white-haired boy is on the cover, I dread they'll forcibly turn the relationship romantic. Or boo, turns out the white-haired boy had a crush on her for the longest time. Boo!! I'd find it so much more interesting if the two really are and stay as best friends only. There's no need for romance between them.

Needless to say, I'm rooting for the one with black hair.

I SHIP IT HAHA

I mean, just look at the last panel of chapter 26. This is rofan, you're telling me the author *isn't* planning on doing something with the two? (Please author do not disappoint me they look like they'd have a fun dynamic)

AND *THIS* IS WHY I LOVE SLOW BURNS!!

Spoilers about the dinner, from what I was able to gather from raws:
- Robin will dress up and get his hair done lol such cutie in love <3
- we get to see more of Robin blushing bc of Hangyul
- I don't know what they talked about over dinner, but I know Hangyul drinks alcohol and Robin gets a taxi/the substitute driver thing Korea has for them to get home.
- Hangyul seems to be passed out in the car and blushing Robin keeps holding his hand during the car ride (interlocking fingers!!!)

This is what I remember at least, haha.


Anyways now that I get to understand what's happening Robin is making it SO OBVIOUS, Hangyul my man I trust that you will be able to recognise this change in his behaviour bc c'mon

I was wondering about why no one was able to recognise Almond despite being so famous only a decade ago, but it makes sense now. He definitely would've been remembered had he told people why he had to quit archery, as people tend to remember tragedies quite well, but because he pretended to quit bc "it's not fun anymore", people wouldn't pay as much mind to it. They wouldn't care, because it just seemed like the whims of an 18-year old.

But also, if the one analysing Almond's archery is a former archer and knew Almond, wouldn't they recognise him from his streams? Who knows. They might not be someone he knows, but knowing how these stories usually tend to go, the likely do.

LOOK AT HIM BEING SO HAPPY AND EXCITED ABOUT BEING ABLE TO EAT DELICIOUS FOOD AGAIN WAHHHHH he's so adorable <33

THE AMOUNT OF KNEE SLAPPING AND SILENT EXCITEMENT I HAD WHILE READING THIS CHAPTER!!!!!!!! LADS!!! THE SLOWBURN IS BURNING!!! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ

I find it so frustrating to see authors having to say "my doctor told me I need to stop because my health is dangerously bad" and "don't worry I'm not taking a break break I'll still be actively working on the series!!" In a same note to the readers in almost every single season break. Argh. I want to stop this insanely toxic and taxing work culture that exists within webtoons and the absolute entitlement of readers who believe the authors/artists own them constant weekly, long, high-quality chapters, and never truly appreciating the time, energy, and effort it goes into making such content.

Can some people do it? Yes. Should we expect it from most people? Absolutely not. I'd rather change into a system where 1) the standard amount of pages/panels per weekly chapter goes down or 2) chapters get updated weekly, but every 4th week there is no update. Both of these would allow consistent content from the people making it, as well as helping to ease their workload. Having one week with no uploads would allow artists to get at least a day or two in a week to rest, as often creating one chapter takes the whole 7 days to create and leaves no space for breaks with weekly updates.

We need to appreciate our creatives more, dammit. If you want a good story and good art, let the people creating them rest and recharge, don't demand more from them just because you can't appreciate the work they already put in.

I'm tired of hearing about authors and artists getting abused, injured, or even dying because of the online projects (webnovel, webtoon) they were working on. I'm tired of them getting injured to the point that their injuries take much, much longer time to heal, and they likely will still have to work during the recovery time when they shouldn't. Just let them rest in peace and come back when they can. I don't mind waiting for a longer season break if I know the people making the series are taking a much deserved break, a proper break.

I know the comments here tend to be more on the understanding/smarter side of things, and how the worst of them are likely the kids on the webtoon app. I still wanted to rant a bit about this, as it also makes me sad that the creator had to say that they'll still continue to actively work during their "break".
