i didn't even read this i'm just here because i physically gasped out loud to see a manga on this site with a 5.7 rating holy shit
this is peak i love absolutely everything about it
also holy shit dajeong is my type. sleep-deprived, black eyes, messy black hair, emotional intelligence, chill attitude, big dick, & a killer smile with a fucking ***dimple***
haneul can have him tho i'm just happy to be here
jeez this is one of those rare manhwas i feel like a voyeur reading (both the sex scenes and the sweet scenes)
i swear they make me blush
HAHAHA THE CLIFFHANGER
bro there is no dere in his tsun
he's not even tsuntsun he's like tsunecchi
(only reading the official translations fyi)
haha
my playlist decided to dump "death of peace of mind" by bad omens on me while i was reading ch 67 and 68
the level of getting inside his own head the mc is doing here is absolutely wild--buuuuuuutttt it's not like he could trust ml considering he'd been withholding information from the beginning and everything he says comes off as a joke. mc must be compartmentalizing a fuckton of trauma considering the little bits of his history we've seen so far
glad to see a bl guideverse writer finally if only briefly address how fucking awful it would be to have to "physically guide" someone who was literally dying
not the dick shadows lmfao
this is utter ridiculousness i love it
good god this manhwa
i have to stop every ten panels to cover my face and silently cackle
i'm aware i hate myself but i'm never more aware of it than when i read this fucking manhwa
fuck i hate the pedo grooming hyung. disgusting bastard.
thank goodness hanbyuk is a whole ass adorable puppy wearing a green bandana
bro could not rein in his crazy for *two seconds*
this is such a trainwreck i cant look away
welp nice to see this manhwa continues to be as needlessly dramatic as it always was
oh goodie another plot requiring superhuman levels of suspension of disbelief
overwhelmingly mid
the spiral downward of the first 25~ chapters made sense bc ml is a self-centered arrogant prick. hell even the mc's extreme reaction to being holed up in that bedroom made total sense. it was fucking sad but it made sense. but ml did absolutely nothing to deserve the change. within 2 chapters mc went from ***literally*** "i'm going to become a doll with no emotions so this man can just rape my lifeless body over and over" to "oh teehee i'm falling in love"
the whiplash
and bruh him telling you he can only get hard for you is not fucking romantic?????? neither is taking care of you when you're sick??? author had two realistic options: have the story get a whole lot darker and keep the doll scene (which would have been fine but at that point you're at Even If You Don't Love Me territory which is clearly not the story the author wanted to tell) or cut it and lead the ml into a reasonable redemption arc. it suffered bc they tried to do both.
it definitely had too many ideas. the poor traumatized person indebted to a shitty prince ceo is one trope, the doll thing being out of place drama escalation which fell flat due to lack of follow-through, then them bonding over the bait missions which was legitimately cute but ruined because of *waves vaguely at everything that happened before.* the backstory with the mom and whole sacrifice business was actually interesting, but handled flippantly, esp towards the end. it seemed like rather than fully resolving any one thread they just kept tying new threads into it to overlap the old ones, which just ended up making everything feel muddy and unresolved. i won't even get into the ending, ugh.
the art was good (and got better, esp if you read their previous work), you can really tell the artist worked their ass off. and it's not a BAD story. just had some serious issues. take your brain out and enjoy the few sex scenes that weren't dubcon at best and the drama ig.
