this was so dumb but in a good (??) way like it was so ridiculous, i can’t even hate it. but the rape hello?? between tanza and meryl and the noncon between ash and roose - the author stated they refined the story to include a lot of mainstream arcs and tropes, and this is just another example of how people get off on rape in bl, its genuinely so disgusting. this story could’ve been perfectly fine with consent - roose could be a ‘tsundere’ and ash could be that obsessed puppy top that everyone loves and after some pining, they could’ve had CONSENSUAL sex and it would’ve been exactly the same as the story. and meryl and tanza could’ve been enemies to lovers and eventually the tension is too much and they both jump each others bones and consensual sex, everyone is happy, no rapey bullshit
i picked up 100 tomatoes and flung them at soohan. he is one of the most immature, ridiculous, self-centred, hypocritical idiot i’ve seen in a while
he is so fucking irritating, i could not stand him even more with each chapter. he is such a hypocrite MY GOD. even before he and jio started dating, he got upset bc of jio and mr kang - mind you, nothing even happened between them. then they got together and he refused to listen to jio, HIS BOYFRIEND, about what actually happened. and then he’s bitching about how that person who mr kang was with should be revealed to him and gets upset when jio refuses to out that guy. we all know how pissed soohan would be if it happened to him but ofc hes too self-centered
bro the way he behaves is so infuriating. and how he keeps letting his past dictate his behaviour FUCK OFFFFF. if you’re so traumatised after getting cheated on, then don’t date??? if all you’re gonna do going forward is doubt your partner at every opportunity and expect the worst, how about you go to therapy?? heal??? be alone??? become independent??? stop being such a fucking bitch??????????
the way he expected jio to cheat on him with every guy and got suspicious of jio everytime he spoke to another man, gtfo. it reminds me of when straight men and straight women think every single queer man and woman to be attracted to them
and the hypocrisy from him my god. he jumped to conclusions about kang and jio, but goes around kissing his neighbour - yeah it may have been on the forehead and to get away from his ex, but we all know damn well if jio had done smth like that, soohan wouldn’t have heard him out, broken up with jio, left the company, fled the country etc - lies to jio, hides stuff about his ex and just acts like the world’s worst boyfriend. jio is waaaaayyyy too in love, like hes so far gone. and jio is so out of soohan’s league. i was going to complain about how fucked jio is for making soohan work overtime + his atrocious cooking, but he takes cooking classes and gets a certificate and tones it ALL the way down to make his food palatable for soohan, and all that overtime and extra work was to benefit soohan and he always covered up soohan’s fuckups and stood up for him. not to mention jio's good looks and his insane wealth. the only thing left to be desired is his frosty personality but he’s actually sweet when he tries
i don’t like to side with the top bc of #bottomsolidarity, but soohan is just a piece of shit man. OMF AND THEIR NIPPLES WHY DO BOTH OF THEIRS STRETCH ALL THE WAY OUT LIKE THAT LMFAO
i hate that grandpa died. grandpa died, things sorted out with taesun’s ex boss or whatever, shaman disappeared, geumryang is healthy again - i feel like it’ll end soon with taesun having the babies soon and him and geumryang realising + confessing their feelings. like it’ll end at chapter 50 or smth. that or it’ll get dragged out even further to like 70/80 chapters - but i don’t mind give me 50 more chapters
taesun’s grandfather reminded me sm of my granny and today marks one month since she passed away. this is so horrible, i know the story needs angst and smth to push taesun and geumryang closer together, but it’s still fiction so i was really hoping the grandpa would stay alive and get to be a constant for them and see his great grand babies
with ah-rim having a supernatural ability like this, it should’ve been a minimum of 40 chapters - that way it wouldn’t have been so fast-paced and the sex scenes would’ve also balanced out. it’s a good thing theres side stories though but i wish it was longer
also the dicks EWWW i don’t mind uncensored but when it’s drawn super long and thin and smooth like a fucking vienna it looks so horrid
besides the crazy amount of sex and the irritating moments here and there, what really bothered me is how they warmed up to jekwon’s mother. idgaf about that hag’s husband and her step-son, both of which we didn’t even get a definitive end to - yeah, they got kicked out of the company and shunned by society, but then what? but even that aside, jekwon spoke about how his mother didnt care about him yet yian ran behind her?? he warmed up to her and took a job at her company - AND I KNOW JEKWON SAID IT WAS OKAY IM WELL AWARE BEFORE ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING - but me personally, if my partner were to tell me their mother was neglectful and made their life hell as they grew up, idc what they say i’m not gonna take a job at the abusive parents’ company hello? even with the insistent jokes yian made about how jekwon and his mother are similar irritated me. also that one time the mother made jekwon say he was asking for a favour when he asked her not to make it too tough on yian what the fuck??? the author gave jekwon such a sad backstory only to go in a completely different direction i can’t stand it. suddenly everyone loves that old hag oh fuck off
why can’t the taesun’s grandpa stay alive AND geumryang be healthy, THIS IS FICTION SO LET US BE HAPPY NO NEED FOR ANGST
this might be a bit controversial and i get it bc the dad is just looking out for his son esp considering everything doha went through, but doha’s dad really irritates me ever since the chapter were he called jihwan “boy”, i just don’t like him idk
also does anyone have any good omegaverse recs with no sa/rape
ofc i don’t care for euihyun’s absolute deadbeat piece of shit dad, let’s not forget that he traumatised euihyun so badly that he was gonna kill himself at the start along with euiyoung
but there’s no surprise that rapist taeju would let euihyun’s dad be raped for life, like come on. ik this is probably not the best place to say it since everyone and their mother loves taeju here but you guys forget that taeju raped euihyun like 3 times, the first time so severely that euihyun bled, and people also forget that the only reason taeju took a liking to euihyun was bc euihyun wasn’t submissive and fought back - if euihyun was submissive and did whatever taeju said, he’d probably be in the same sex slave prison as his father
why irritates me the most is not su-yeon hiding the reason behind the move, it’s the fact that he refuses to acknowledge haesu being a mermaid/merman whatever. like he KNOWS haesu is a mermaid, and also he keeps seeing that ‘other girl’ in haesu, why not just ask haesu if he knows that other girl since they look so identical also the fact that haesu keeps referring to knowing su-yeon before and su-yeon seems so confused, WHY NOT JUST ASK HAESU WHY HE KEEPS TALKING ABOUT THE PAST/ACTING LIKE THEYVE MET BEFORE??? like the author just made the most nonsensical side story possible istg
man where are the side stories, esp considering the big jump to 7 years in the future hello?? also i want an entirely different story for junwoo and jihan
i couldn’t find any english translations past side story 17, but basically jeong-yoon slaps chaeheon who gets so incredibly turned on. he jerks off twice from that alone and they have closet sex - i’m assuming they cleared up the misunderstanding. it’s so funny that chaehon was jerking off with the memory of jeong-yoon slapping him, pls that freak
re-reading this and i can always agree that it’s such a beautiful and twisted story, but it always upsets me how yeojin will never be in contact with his son again unless seojin initiates, and the fact that mun-hyeok disappeared from his siblings lives. the kids look to be teenagers now, so it’s only a couple more years before they hit their twenties and i know bwat won’t write a story, but i really do wish for one between seojin and mun-hyeok’s brother - besides seeing them happily together, i would also like to see yeojin and mun-hyeok reconnecting with their families and hoping to see mo-ran taking on a happier, peaceful life with a wife
i dislike guwon for obvious reasons, but that sketch of him in a button down shirt holy lawd i’m pregnant he looks so hot
i’m glad they solved their issues and baek realised how silly he was being - it was their pre anniversary evening, not the actual anniversary, so it was iffy how upset he got - and it’s understandable how hyunsoo was preoccupied with thoughts of his mother, but that was also shitty of him to forget their anniversary. as long as they communicated and worked everything out though. theyre stupid, but theyre my babies
bro, the main story was absolute dogshit. top is an abusive rapist, and it took them just over two full seasons to discover the truth and all of the conflict was so unnecessary too.
the side couple is waaay more interesting and their limited time in the side story was miles better than anything in the main story. even that little tense moment charged with chemistry in the last chapter in the main story was more interesting than any moment between the main couple.
side couple deserve their own story, they have so much potential and amazing tropes to fill a full story - the longing in between, the excuses by brown hair to talk to blondie bc of the mc, jealousy arcs, problems with sihoon and blondie when sihoon gets released bc he felt betrayed, like theres SO MUCH that can be done with the side couple and better yet, theyre 100% consensual too!!! bruh main couple is so ass, i’m just so annoyed that it was a long 79 chapters when it could’ve easily been condensed into 40 max. side couple supremacy or whatever
freak4freak, delusional and obsessed with each other, im glad they have each other
