The first couple/ season is lovely but Daeshik is straight up one of my favorite MC's-- he starts off as a quirky side char. who dives all-in to lgbtq+ allyship while stripping down to rainbow undies after being called out. But it's that same energy of relentless curiosity/ empathy/ intelligence that make his own sexual awakening and slow burn with Yosef so good. And Yosef... I don't blame him for throwing himself at that hunk like a piece of cooked pasta hoping he'll stick.
Also I'm very impressed with how they handled trigger warning (adding a summary after the chapter in case you skipped, also it was drawn withoutgl glorifying said abuse). My only quibble is Sohae, how her 'redemption' wasn't as smoothly done as the others especially since she veered into stalker / outing territory in the first season and suddenly it was rainbows and daisies.
Frr Daeshik is so funny like everything he says is hilarious he and Yosef carried the series I'd say.

I’m on Chapter 20-something but my inner party ogre just learned that SOJU COMES IN JUICE BOXES, and wanted to share.
waits thats crazy ive only see the glass bottles
The art style change was on purpose, to denote a fresh start: their new lives or the new era of the rabbit grim reaper. I thought it was clever.
FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTOOD AND POINTED IT OUT BRO
Came over from Guiding Hazard which has the same artist (but different author.) This one has potential I think, it has decent world building, but it's a bit too disjointed for me pacing-wise. Had to drop cuz a lot of the smut of the central couple is dubcon (sure mc likes ml but that’s no reason for ml to poke him with his teeth / genitalia whenever he (ml) feels like it.) And MC is just... so grateful for such terrible treatment, it's sickening.
it’s crazy that this one’s almost a decade old. bls from this time were almost all written this way and i’m glad the authors writing changed over the years. it was good when i first read it but now i gotta say the dynamic is just no fun. i prefer less submissive or shy mcs bc it all feels very icky when there’s a weird power dynamic
Oh it makes sense it's a decade old. Also just realized the writer is different on Guiding Hazard (same artist) so I had my expectations distorted.
yeah i absolutely love how nonchalant and feisty the mc is in guiding hazard. it’s just so much more fun to read tbh
…should be the title of this story. The first season is all dub/non con smut. ML treats MC like trash from start to finish except for the sliver of time in college when they were just friends. When they meet again, ML blackmails him and isolates him from his friends/ job— using their kid as leverage. ML obfuscates the truth and no amount of mind blowing sex (jury is out on this one, MC never looks like he’s enjoying it) and retconning by their mutual friends is enough to redeem him. I don’t blame the MC for falling apart every four chapters, you would too if someone was fucking with your head for nearly a decade.
It was actually setting up a nice slow burn and then Chapter 3 happened. Where MC acts exactly like ML expects an omega to act by drugging/seducing him. But he gets a pass but the female omega doesn’t? And it turns out the brother instigated it— just to mess with him, not even to grab power but the ML suspected and put MC through the wringer anyway. So no one really learned their lesson but the two leads end up together anyway so yay I guess.
Man, the single-parent angst is so real in this one. I wish the two leads were a bit more expressive and lovey dovey to balance out the angst.
No wonder MC was suicidal because everyone in his life was terrible up until he met ML’s bro and ML. And people saying that MC was slow— why would he believe a good thing when everyone around him— even both his omega ‘friends’ kept second-guessing his relationship/ worth? The timeline felt rushed and the story ended abruptly, which is too bad because it had potential.
I know right? Fuck that Wonjo guy, all he did was put the uke down and say things to make him miserable just because he is.
Both volumes of this story was so heartwarming! Wish we could see them adopt and raise a kid together. They’re so adorable
Boooo. If the author is going to take the time to detail all the sexual sadism MC went through (like ten plus panels is glorifying that shit) the least he could do is detail the abuser getting his teeth getting kicked in by ML so the audience gets some catharsis. But no suddenly author is squeamish.
