There’s no real plot…just a random string of events happening one after another. The characters are all over the place. One moment Haekyeong is so shy and socially awkward, the next he’s cracking jokes with a co star, flirting with hyung, and yelling at his friend. And he’s so easily swayed. It’s not just about being a pushover. He meets Kwonlim, and after a couple of interactions, he’s already crushing on him. If he’s that quick to catch feelings, how did he manage to stay hung up on Kwonyeong for ten whole years?
Kwonyeong is another disaster. His intentions are so vague. One moment he comes off as homophobic, then the next he’s throwing jealous fits when Haekyeong doesn’t pay attention to him. Why? Is he secretly in love? Closeted, maybe? Honestly, that would make sense as he’s constantly overcompensating by sleeping around and dating anyone with a pulse.
And let’s talk about Kwonlim, the supposed “nice guy.” No, he’s a total creep. He manipulates Haekyeong, using his lingering feelings for his younger brother and the fact that they look alike, to get close to him. He memorised Haekyeong’s door code after watching him enter it once? That’s stalker behaviour. And that folder full of Haekyeong’s photos despite barely interacting with him? Obsessive. Setting his password to Haekyeong’s birthday? Cringe. People say the brothers are opposites, but honestly, they’re cut from the same cloth. The older one just hides the crazy better. The younger one’s still deep in his glass closet…nothing short of a good round of rough fucking from a dominant top is gonna shake him loose.
The pacing is all over the place. Sometimes it rushes through, other times it drags. And they got drunk at least three times. Is this the default plot device for BL authors now? Get them drunk = instant confession? Come on. Also, what was that PTSD like flashback Haekyeong had? It looked serious, and I want to know more about it. Same with the older Kwon brother, there’s barely any background on him. Why do the brothers not get along? Is there an actual reason, or is it just manufactured drama for the sake of conflict? At 44 chapters, is it too much to ask for a coherent plot?
Some of what you said is right, but holy… you probably forgot some parts or read with your eyes closed for some chapters
Can Ian throw out a red flag or two real quick? I need him to act like a piece of shit soon, because I’m genuinely starting to get obsessed with him.
Please no. We have enough red flags already
No, I meant I’m obsessed with him because he’s just so perfect. Unless he suddenly starts showing red flags, this obsession isn’t going anywhere. Not that I want red flags, he’s one of my absolute favorites just the way he is. I think I phrased it poorly, English isn’t my first language.
Nah I get you. I'm just sick of red flags lol.
But sir, slavery ended ages ago. You do know owning people is a crime, right?
Lmao i can't-
Love this onee XD
Proud of Yijae for finally using his brain for once. But why do I feel like he’s about to end up locked in the basement? Hope he makes it out safely.
Back together and probably still bad for each other. And still no sign of therapy. Am I happy for them though? Absolutely. Now be nice to each other, please.
The close up shots of the rapist’s bloated lips genuinely made me gag. Absolutely revolting. Gotta give it to the artist though…they really nailed making every one of them look disgusting.
When did five years pass? I honestly thought it was just a few months at most. So are they 25 and 33 now? Uh, when they slept together overseas, was that before the five year time jump? Also, was it just a bad scan job, or were those weird slide placements supposed to be some edgy artistic metaphor for self discovery?
I think the time skip is from him studying abroad, I could be wrong though
You’re right. But didn’t Hyung go there and they slept together? Or was that just dream sex or something?
I think when he was drunk
I read the latest upload of Monday's Savior which was also uploaded by Bloomingdale and it had the same issues which I also thought was supposed to symbolise a disordered mind or something. But since it happened in both new updates, I think the uploader has an issue going on
yeah I thought it was about 2 years at most, fk five years holy shit???
and I think they did touch each otehr when they met there, but uke was so drunk he doesn't remember. So now seme acts as if it never happened
Right? Also, didn’t Jueun already graduate from Hanguk University when he was in Korea? So he must’ve been doing his postgraduates overseas, which makes the 2 year timeline more believable. Who does a postgraduate degree for 5 years?
EXACTLAYYYYYYYYYY
Yeah, it’s not the size that’s the problem, it’s the color. Every BL top has a huge dick, that’s nothing new. But Guwon’s looks like raw beef, and that’s what concerns me. I’ve never even had a dick, but just looking at his makes me feel pain. Like, if I had one and it got burned raw, that’s exactly what it would look like.
Yes, please keep giving us smut in every side story chapter. The main story had so little, I need more to make up for it.
Alright folks, cigarettes and heartbreaks make you taller. Take notes, my fellow shorties.
heartbreak? check
cigarettes... does secondhand smoking and a daily dose of air pollution count?
Yes, but for an extra cm each month, switch to firsthand smoking and make sure you keep crying over that emotionally unavailable ex.
fuck my ex was actually emotionally unavailable by the end of our relationship hdyk???
