go back 50+ pages of comments and you still see people shitting on this years before. people thought it was shit and one of the worse workes of this author even back in 2017 when it was still being updated.
also box dye blondi couldn't get laid so he started abuse drugs due to his body dysmorphia from his twink death?? he wanted that omega bussy so bad
LMAOO
Your psychoanalysis of Blondie has me screaming
that shit was so cute it can cure some of the homophobia in ya
also I need more works by this author
this is draaaaagging and I say this as someone who likes slow pacing but they are moving in a circle? the whole thing of him not giving up on his family and it's made worse with how, with time, he only gets dumber and dumber, even the smut is dragging, and you know it's bad when we are reaching the last arc but the problem is still dragging. like I know the ending going to be ass like woosh the problem is solved here both mc happy ever after with not reflection not growth even though the whole work is 100+ chapter (which is LONG by bl standard)
like if I can cut some chapters off throughout the work it will be good, some of the reflection happening in later chapters is good and everything but please why is the uke getting washed down to nothing but his family problem? him losing his smart ass personality after multiple betrayals and disappointments of his family is kinda contradicting? I don't have a problem with him going back to his family multiple time cause sometimes it do be like that but can't you at least not make him an airhead while doing that? give him more? nuance?
rightttt I feel like the author got the order switch up, he was so smart before and so aware but now he kinda downgraded to this. I know smut brings bread to the table but isn't it a bit too much readers would get enough of it too it keep losing momentum, we were at the most interesting part then bam smut!
I gotta say this is the type of manhwa that is really suited for novel formal. Although I haven't finished half the work yet and it's mlt, the writing the pacing is good.
the novel takes its time to paint a whole scene, chapters alternate between past and present, and each chapter gives a glimpse of understanding the character and their demeanor and it helps you understand next/previous chapter better. The whole work is around 10 chapters but each chapter is 50+ pages
I have to say though, mc is a bit wishy washy and I got bad feeling when he moved in with the ml quickly in beginning but what surprised me was this is one of the few bls where no is innocent, everyone knows that they got that immorality in them, and it is pretty interesting how they go about it (their motives, guilt, shame and the breakdown of their internal monologue)
I'm still not sure how fast things going to move seeing how easily the mc agreed to help ml and move in with him, even when all previous present time chapters was about he he needs to bury everything and run away but also it discussed how guilty he felt.
I might come back here once I finish it and if it didn't let me down
can i ask where u read it? so difficult to find korean bl novel tls
someone posted the link recently, it is on t0nk0r books
this is like one of the best abo how come no one recommends it? I don't even see it abo lists
yall I don't understand why the manhwa artist not including some of the lines and events in the novel, what a waste, the novel does both mc and ml characters justice like look at some of these lines by the ml:
"I will follow your choice. If you ask me to become emperor, I will do it. If you want to become emperor, I will be happy to offer you my loyalty. It's okay if you change your mind along the way and choose Her Majesty. Even if you ask me to die, I will gladly accept it.”
"In the past, now, and in the future, I will continue to live as my brother’s sword and shield. So feel free to use me as much as you want.”
"I will not stand above my brother, but under him. “My sword belongs to Brother Etienne.”
"I will protect you. Get stronger as soon as possible... … I'll punish all the people who bully you.'
Etienne, my Etienne.
I don't want you to cry anymore."
and for the mc there was a lot
"Etienne was unable to return even half of the affection that Richard gave him and was of no help to him, so when he was with Richard, Etienne often fell into the illusion that he, too, had become a useful person."
but noticeably how he is afraid of being like his parents, when his dr visited him first time after he spent his heat with ml, they had a long talk about the possibility of pregnancy and how scared and guilty mc was, even though he had high chance of infertility, but in the manhwa the dr just told him to fuck even more?
