1. Honestly his beef with junseo is so pathetic and annoying.
2. Who sees that their friend is clearly upset and dismisses it because they have "worries of their own"?? And the worries in question is a literal crush.
Obviously people can have their own opinions but he's honestly one of the worst main characters I've ever read about.
his soulmate is a 17 year old high schooler?? correct me if I'm wrong or feel free to give me additional details, I'm literally on chapter 1 so I'm very puzzled.
yea a 17 and a 21 year old, though the rest of the volumes takes place when the 17 year old is in his 20s
I was also super skeptical bc of that, but all things considered their age gap is not that big, Naoto was just a teen father (unfortunately) and they age up considerably as soon as volume 2. Vol 1 can be a bit though to bear but it only gets better from there, so I'd say to give it a chance
yeah, that's the thing. I agree with you that the age gap isn't bad, but like I'm 20 rn and I couldn't fathom being around a 17 year old in that way I'll continue reading like you said though
Yeah no, I'm in the same boat as you so I get it 100% I only pushed through because I saw some spoilers, but in the end I'll have to say I didn't regret it. The author didn't need the high school set up at all, but, alas... it is what it is ig. If you manage to push through volume 1, I have a feeling you won't regret it. Cheers!
You also gotta take into consideration of when this was made. The style and tropes gives me early 2000s to 2010s. So it's gonna be seen differently now.
Sorry but it's from 2018, so. Not that old imo
Just to put the story in historical context, and you're free to not like the story btw because of it, this one story was specifically published at the start and peak of the Omegaverse genre in Japan. During this time, there was a lot of focus on SA and high-school aged characters (unsurprising for bl quite frankly). If you read the first volume, it's quite dramatic because that was the general popular style of stories (a traumatized Omega who is saved by their destined mate). It's evolved since, but it's origins are still from the wild west (as in everyone wrote everything no matter how fucked up) style of the early Omegaverse era. This explains why most didn't really care that the story began with a 17 and 20 year old being mates, because there were even worse things that were popular at the time. Personally it didn't bother me then and now because it's fiction (in real life I would oppose it) and because Hazuki was going to graduate soon anyways, so he was most likely going to turn 18 soon.
Eh it's gonna reach 10 in almost 2 years. But I get it. And even then was still different. But yeah I get it
Ofc ofc, but I mean "not that old" more in the sense that this kind of topic was already becoming very sensitive as to media portrayals by then. But I'm not saying this in demerit of this manga; it's just that, unfortunately, it is what it is. It was an unfortunate and unnecessary choice from the author (who probably did know better, considering the following immediate timeskip), but we move on ig. I don't think we need to excuse a misstep in order to fully appreciate this as a good manga (which, it is, imo)
(on an unrelated sidenote, sorry to keep bumping this thread, OP)
(We shall continue bumping!)
Ah I get it! And yeah, I guess the creator wanted to quickly establish their relationship ╮(￣▽￣)╭.
lmaooo it's fine I've literally been reading everyone's replies to this silently ngl
I was expecting so much more for the ml considering he's apparently so hot that he was literally glowing
um have u been reading another story
Probably just the art style lol, beauty is subjective
some of you are apologists and it's so grating. you see an old man and suddenly he's a good person that's misunderstood. that certainly can be the case, but just because he's not abusive doesn't mean there's suddenly this miscommunication and I'm not believing that until we get a backstory or whatever.
mind you, haebeom is 36 and has never even seen a glimpse of his dad. life happens but he loved his mother so much and never once went back to the village? yeah, okay.
It's the male/father bias. People are so forgiving to especially old men ('they're so cute', 'they're so wise', BARF), but look at them tear apart an older woman for doing the same. ('old hag', 'bad mother')
Calm down fn, we literally dont know the story, until stfu and stay unbiased.
don't tell me to stfu loser, and if we're meant to stay unbiased then why come for me and not the people that are immediately believing he's misunderstood or are they the only one's allowed to be biased?
literally it's so funny
you'd think I wanted him crucified based on the dislikes when I literally said I wasn't going to believe anything until I got a backstory
Not you coping in your own comments lmfao
Hold this L for me
ugh I hate the whole ex trope in manhwas, it's literally so stupid and unnecessary. you agree to meet up with the ex you apparently don't want to see, he's asking you questions about hojun and you keep saying it's none of his business?? like block him then??
First of all, who is letting kids play at the beach by themselves?? mind you, the oldest there is like 12.
Secondly, I hate that nickname so bad omggg wtf is "baby" I'm losing my mind I HATE IT
No fr.. one kf them manhwas where I wish they dragged the baby thing instead of the actual plot..
No offence but is the author writing this stupid on purpose? the queen literally told the duke that Charlotte had just acquired a jewel but they couldn't find out which one she has. later they're in a room together, he feels the power of a jewel being activated, and so he goes to look for it and doesn't consider the lady in front of him???
read this years ago when there were only like 20 chapters and just remembered it existed lol. should I pick this back up?
YOU SHOULD IT'S PEAK
ikkkk I just hate those tropes where everyone's overly obsessed & over protective of the mc so I've been putting it off
The only ones overprotective over her is naturally her brother and the ml, as for the obsession only the villain
Does he get stronger? Call me a stereotypical reader or whatever but I like when they get stronger
No
Thanks for the response! I like the story either way so I'm surprisingly okay with it
in the novel yes but WAAYYY at the end
yes, but only around ch 325 does he get some if his power back. the scene is cool though so it's worth the wait. and to correct the comment above, ch 325 is not the end of the novel. last I checked the novel had 560+ chapters so he gains his power at a reasonable pace.
and tbf the novel was more entertaining when mc was struggling bc of lack of power.
Is the novel in first person or is third?
