i only have three critiques:
1. why was there sexual assault thrown in, only for it not to be addressed? and for their first time to be directly after, and as a result of the SA (because sigmund got jealous and took it the wrong way, “if just anyone, then will i do” etc) was incredibly unnecessary. i’ll say it time and time again, but these bl authors LOVE to throw in SA/rape bc either they have a fetish, the readers have a fetish or both have a fetish for it
2. sigmund’s relationship with sigfried - definitely needed to be more fleshed out, and for them to have some more closure. this ties in with my third point, that it needs to be longer, but there definitely needs to be more chapters with brunhild bringing up sigfried’s insecurities and worries up to sigmund, who then should sit down sigfriend and ease his worries and doubts. i understand that sigmund also feels guilty and his own guilt and awkwardness makes it difficult for him to deal with sigfried, but shipping him off to a boarding school as well definitely doesn’t help. the two of them need to have an earnest heart to heart, and heal their wounds.
3. for sure, needed to be longer. this was a nice story, very cutesy, palate cleanser-esque. it definitely should’ve been a good fifty chapters to resolve everything. from the secondary couple getting together, brunhild’s father stop being an ass and letting them be a couple, telling us what happened to brunhild’s mother (is she dead? probably, since we’ve never seen her), sigmund addressing his sister and brother-in-laws deaths with brunhild, to brunhild becoming an official knight and just overall fluff between the mcs
overall, nice story

“one and only” okay satosugu
i’m ngl, i still don’t like ipsae. i didn’t like him at the start, and towards the last two (?) chapters, i started actually liking him, but eh not really
han-eum, that cutie pie. i love me a greenflag pathetic puppy top crybaby with a huge slong that can stab your heart - they’re the best type of top fr

only on chapter 19
but their hair colours aside (but i do feel like hosung bears a slight resemblance to till face wise), their personality dynamics with hosung being quick to get flustered, and lashing out at geumwoo, while geumwoo is all stupid smiles like an airhead, and being pathetic for hosung especially reminds me so much of a young till and ivan (though, ivan always remained stupid for till lmfao)

this really was such wasted potential. it’s clear the author was more interesting in writing sex, than fleshing out a good story.
we really waited until the very last chapter for them to get together, and that too, it ended up with sex. i expected the side stories to be some fluff, and fill in some gaps, but it was just MORE sex.
what about yi-hyun’s offer to study abroad? what about his mother, why do we never see her? does she even live with the kids? speaking of the siblings, yi-hyun’s younger brother shouldve ended up with seungwoo. also, making seungwoo pine after woojoo like that was low-key LOW-KEY very low-key weird of the author. like i know he’s 18 and everything, but why would you want to make a potential love interest be in high school while the mc is in university like? and the fact that they were childhood friends, but woojoo really couldnt gaf about seungwoo, GIVE SEUNGWOO A BREAK
also, making seungwoo a potential love interest was so dumb. woojoo went all the way to seoul for his crush, not seungwoo. shouldve just made woojoo do nothing while crush was away, and then he moves on right before the crush comes back from the military. that way, woojoo and yi-hyun still follow the events of the story, but in a timeline where the crush is discharged and when he comes back, it’ll create a bit of conflict when he bumps into woojoo again.
idk, it’s like you can just tell the author didnt put much thought into the actual story. no fluff, no domesticity, barely addressing yi-hyun’s ptsd - esp when he took the taxi to the hospital, oh my baby - like, why aren’t we focusing on plot?? i’m tired of bls only revolving around sex. if the author wanted to write smut so bad, write a short ten chapter porn story instead of writing this

mc is being so ridiculous. he can’t just maintain the narrative that he doesn’t want kids from the time from the time he met the ml , to suddenly changing his mind now. that’s something he needs to sit down and discuss with his husband, not randomly spring it onto him one day and DEMAND to have a kid, that’s not how that works. it wouldn’t just be mc’s child too, ml needs to be 210% on board with being a dad.
saying that driving is so dangerous that ml needs to give up his car keys is so stupid, my god. and ml coming and dumping all his keys PLS you can’t compare pregnancy, and all of its dangers, to freaking driving. and ml is so right too. mc is a recessive omega, mated and married to a dominant alpha. having a baby of a dominant alpha could do irreplaceable harm to him, if not killing him in the process - though, i very highly doubt the author would take this route.
and saying that starting a family is more important DONT FUCKING PISS ME OFF he went through so many grievances in the past, and finally went to uni only to want to drop out for a while to start and raise a family, fuck off. he already knows what it’s like to be an omega, and how horribly he gets treated, but sure. drop out of college to raise a baby, like an incompetent shithead
how the hell did we even get to this point everything in this “end” side story is so wack and confusing honestly
