Seriously this story is so good. I wish more BL authors went this route instead of defaulting to the ultra toxic MLs.
Dan was an orphan, bullied badly as a child, chased and beaten by debt collectors, worked himself to the bone, lived in a state of constant stress, was abused and mistreated by jjk, framed, the puppy he adored passed away, and now he's facing losing the only person who has ever loved him, and people are mad because he's being "weak"? FFS he's losing everything that was keeping him going, and has a horribly low self-esteem on top of that. This crash out has been a long time coming. I do not, in any way, think Kim Dan is weak.
FACTS the way his grandma is the only thing keeping him tethered to life atm, and soon he won't have that? I'm surprised he didn't leap from jjk's penthouse ibr
It certainly took a while for the plot to start moving again, but damn when the plot of this story starts moving it REALLY moves. I still don't understand a single thing, but whatever. Time to wait for S2...
He loves his puppy's terrible attitude so much! Chiyoung will literally give Heeseong anything he wants and fulfill every whim and wish the puppy could ever have. Chiyoung loves Heeseong more than anything and I'm over here single and crying in the corner being stalked by old creeps and wading through fuckboys.
I think this author has a list of kinks and is just going down the list trying to check off every single one. But whatever, it's hot, the characters are pretty, and I don't really expect a plot-centric story anymore.
Atp we're giving up xD
I feel horrible for the original owner. Forcefully drafted into the military, forced into a job he didn't want, despised by everyone on his team, severely depressed, underpaid, and from what we know guides are also mistreated and under appreciated in general. He tried to take his own life multiple times and it's obvious that not a single person cared about him.
I know it's not going to happen, but a part of me truly wishes the original owner would somehow get a happy ending. Idk why his backstory is hitting me so hard, but legit I'm so upset about how hopeless he must have felt. And seeing his cute pastel clothes... ugh I'm getting emotional over a character that literally we've never even met.
this made me sad but i’ll just think that if the original owner died, then he is happy he had to do all that stuff and it was probably hard for him to leave so sometimes i guess its for the better? hopefully the author will dive more into his past and maybe he reincarnated into someone or something who we’ll see in the future
Yeah...and what's more he basically died on his last attempt of taking his life seeing that the MC was the one who woke up in his body Too much expectation on him when he was literally none the wiser, then there's this money he's sending to wherever. Don't tell me he is being blackmailed or something?
It is wildly hilarious to me that somehow there's not a single article of clothing in that bed of clothes MC is sleeping on that he can wear. He's just gonna stay in that disgusting blood and cum stained button up I guess
These men aren't green flags, they're not even green forests anymore. These two are a whole damn thriving ecosystem with how healthy they are. I love them so much!
Like broooooooo
You could walk in and turn green yourself
My heart hurts so much when Mittens said "Even after he loses interest in me, and I leave when the agreed time comes..." Like, he is so desperate for love and affection and he's so happy with Jooin right now, but he literally has no expectations. He truly does not believe anyone will ever want to stay with him. And Jooin just floats through life so he's not really in a place to give Mittens the stability and reassurance he needs. I love them both so much but I feel a separation has to be coming soon.
I'm baffled by the way the manhwa completely changed the ending. In the novel, they don't really end up permanently together. Ray's body matures so he regains his former appearance, and he goes back and rules his own country. He even gets married and has children to ensure succession. He and Jiskar still meet, but it doesn't happen often and their meetings are brief. Ray was always meant to be a monarch, and he refused to give up his position and his country for Jiskar. They do love each other in their own twisted ways, but neither is willing to give up their titles and countries for each other.
The novel ending was far more realistic considering everything Ray has been through and his inherent personality. To the end he was never willing to submit to Jiskar's control.
I can understand that maybe they wanted to give the manhwa a happier(?) ending where the pair ends up together permanently, but I feel like there were ways they could have done that without completely gutting Ray's character. Novel Ray never forgot he was an emperor and was always meant to be an emperor.
What's also weird is that the manhwa stayed pretty true to the novel for a good chunk of the story, then wildly deviated right at the end.
Wait so the side story (of what is currently happening) did not exist on the novel?
I don't read the nobel, but reading the manhwa gave me the impression that Ray will not fall under Jiskar control until the end.
I do like this ending better though the novel seems to be more realistic. This information also gave me a mix feeling as to why the manhwa did not follow the novel's ending.
Like many other readers, agree that it escalated to quick and the thrill I had in the 1st season os not there. That's so unfortunate.
I read the raw and I think his body gonna mature soon, Jiskar's son too, Ray and Jiskar's son are likely the same age, right? Side chapter 4 shows that they both play chess together...
