I feel like shit every time I see a story like this and it's just so short and the creator just experimenting
The MC is really trying his best not to be a fucked up person. The self sabotage is sad but he used to sa the ML in their past life. Anyone truly holding themselves accountable won't just ignore the nasty shit they did.
I will always hate when characters are woefully ignorant. I can't help it but Ari reminds me so much of Cain from yours to claim. They just sit there and let themselves be played. Both of their situations with their respective love interests are proof that you can spend time with someone and do all the relationship shits and that mf either just doesn't want you or just hates you. They are so frustrating cz of all people they are in a position to remove themselves yet they stick around and say they can't help themselves. This shit pisses me off so much cz they literally just cosign themselves to being glorified side bitches.These types of relationship make people irrational and obsessive. The make people think that they need to move fast and lock them in otherwise they'll lose them. Look at how both are willing to throw their lives away for something they already know is uncertain. Jfc I hate to see it. It hurts me in my soul when people don't value themselves and are actively enabling another person to destroy them.
P.s I'll probably get hate for bringing up a popular fav like Cain but it is what it is.
I like that jae not being a dickhead isn't rushed cz it would end up feeling gimmicky. I don't want a rush of him kissing Dan's ass cz even Dan would probably feel overwhelmed with such a personality change. I don't want a 180 development but a gradual one and this gives me that. At least in all that muscle brain he can acknowledge he wants Dan in his proximity. Every chapter of him questioning why he tolerates Dan is just a sign his default setting is rejecting that he likes Dan which is a nice touch. He is so used to being a dick that his mind refuses the idea that he is capable of liking someone else. The simple things really do it for me.

People complaining about karlyle being insecure do my head in. Insecurities wouldn't just disappear because he and ash are together. Another reason why ash is my one of my fav tops, he ends the bullshit so quickly and reassures bbes even in front of his nasty cheating ex, leaves that entitled shit twink there. Regardless of whether it's top or bottom I really love characters who stand on business. I'm so glad they didn't drag the ex bullshit and even more glad it wasn't in the main story cz the little shit is so irrelevant. The audacity of this little shit when he's been dipping in and out of ash's life and cheating is beyond me
Someone please upload or translate the guide verse side stories too.
This series was so good I let it marinate for four years and it paid off. This series articulated so well why I don't like regular bottoms cz why you a grown man not fighting back? Why you a grown man acting like a little animal? Toxic power bottoms are a breath of fresh air. The top too was so sweet. The writing was immaculate and the dialogue well done. Even the rescue scene didn't feel cringe like other bl. I loved when the top told the grandpa that killing him won't make the MC a strong powerful heterosexual man
At least in this the "second love interest" doesn't lie about how he uses niceness to manipulate the MC. Too many BLS endorse love bombing as a manipulation tactic via the second love interest but that's not a conversation people are ready to ever have. Anyway bls romanticise a lot of shit so...
Cain and Jooins relationship is so much of blind devotion, dishonest harmony and inequality and that's why I always thought it was toxic too. Most of the series both of them pretend the love triangle isn't a problem for far too long and that as long as they're with each other the problem will fix itself. I don't know why it reminds me of the nonsense of saying "as long as he comes back to me I'm okay". Unfortunately Cain even says something along these lines too. The issue with all this is how can you fix a problem when you aren't even willing to acknowledge it exists. Between Cain and Jooin a lot of uncomfortable and painful conversations needed to happen if they were ever to be anything. We all know the only tough conversation that they had was when Jooin rejected Cain which wasn't even fixing anything but just ending it all between them. Love isn't enough to fix problems that needs to be verbalised to be fixed. I do get that Cain was always fearful of Jooins retaliation but doing nothing when something could have been done is where he truly lost to Yahwi. I always wanted Cain to at least crash out on Jooin bcz it was Jooin hurting him more than anyone else but the creator hit us with the whole "Cain would never do that cz he's only nice to Jooin". I don't know why second love interest are often just written by default as doormats who should just take it until they are bent and broken. I hate how in manhwa they don't have agency and only exist to love people that don't love them back.
I want the teasing games to continue. I want the wildest sex from these two. I want raw nasty down bad bedroom bullying shits. I will not accept anything else. That's why I want the sex to be delayed gratification.
Haesoo is playing hard to get and taeha is playing easy to get rid of Lord I'm enjoying this too much. I want more chapters like this. Maybe it's coz I love teasing that I'm living for this. Unfortunately we all know manhwa characters can never take a joke
If a man wrote this then they are doing a good job. I'll take the "unrealistic" body proportions anyday over the rape cesspool that are created by women in bl. I saw someone say the artist is a gooner for her proportions which is ridiculous. Unless you think flat chested and flat back women are the representation of womanhood then maybe. Have y'all seen most African bbes bodies who are constantly accused of body enhancements when it's just genetics. This rhetoric of unrealistic body proportions is the reason why African women were subjected to the worst sexual atrocities simply because of garbage opinions like "bodies like that are unrealistic".
Another thing is creators should have creative liberties. If the creator wants sexy bbes what's the issue? They're entitled to their artistic freedom. If you don't like her body you aren't being held at gunpoint. Go and read the romances with MC with flat chest and flat back.
I stopped reading when Jooin was confusedā¦and I only picked it back up because Cain is no longer directly suffering by that little twats hands! Iām not sorry either, the fact that he picked Yahwi just because itās āloveā good for them both! Keep each other! I am not against them being together, I donāt care anymore about their fucked up love story! I just want Cain to have the love he gives returned to him from someone who deserves him! Fuck I truly hate this manga so much! The side stories better be about Cain! I donāt even wanna see those two asshats (if you find my comment offensive my apologies, Iām just passionate about what I read)!
Someone please tell me which chapter in the novel to start from after the latest manhwa chapter.
I see this will probably never be completed. I've waited years for it and I'm only finding out today the mangaka passed away. May they rest in peace.
This story hits so close too home cz this is a reality that happens to so many women worldwide. That bitch stole years of her life. To me the cheating is the final nail on the coffin but it doesn't beat him trapping her and using her love for him against her.
As for taeha bless his heart. He could have been a basic second love interest who forces things to happen and proclaim himself her saviour but he lets her feel her pain at her own time. He lets her be the woman she needs to be for herself. He encourages her fall in love with herself and be confident. He wants to interfere but even he knows it's not his place to speed run her getting over her evil ex. I love how patient he is with her. He is such a breath of fresh air. I read a lot of BLS and I just hate how second love interests on that side are never patient with the MC and just push them to get over it as if it ain't hard letting go of someone you love. God bless taeha.
I love guwon and teachthis gives me so much happiness please don't stop. Keep giving us sweetness and butterflies
If tatsuki fujimoto recommended it I'm reading it. I love how we collectively are reading this cz that amazing weirdo mangaka recommended this
The smoking crack line had me wheezing but "kill me in bed" I was just flabbergasted now I'm reading the novel.
