I tried, but I dislike Mu'er way too much, and this thing Curtis is turning into is weird. I mean, I never liked his possessiveness, but at least it made sense, and at least he was consistent. Mu'er feels like a consolation prize everyone has agreed to treat like a 1st place prize.
I sustain it doesn't work with 4 mates, it was already extremely messy with three, now you can clearly feel how they need to take one out of focus to make it "work"... or at least not fall apart.
I think... after 5 years?? 6??? I don't even remember when I started reading this, but I'm finally ready to drop itGoodbyeye guys, this was it for me. ╥﹏╥
Yamamoto-sensei really knows how to start a story interesting... and then she stretches it out and starts making endless chapters of nothing, and then always introduces a second or even a third couple and redirects the attention away from the main couple and any possible plot, she also starts making extra and unnecessary chapters.
I don't know, I feel her mangas are way too long, or better say, she doesn't know how to handle long mangas, she should end them earlier rather than later, and have some faster character development so the story moves. I don't know, I always lose interest at some point.
So... I found too many flaws in the story, the characters, and the whole thing.
The kid never grew up not even a little bit, as if the story had taken place in three months.
Some "plots" were excessively elaborated for the ending they got.
Villains were villains just for the sake of it, the reasons were too shallow.
You tell me whatever you want but Estelle and Kaizen doesn't make a good couple, and they were never a couple tbh.
The ending was atrocious, empty, senseless and with nothing to look forward to.
╮(￣▽￣)╭ This feels like that saborless tea you've let sit for too long and is no longer warm, it's not cold either, it's just there not causing an impact of any kind.
Man! The curiosity got the best of me, and despite reading the comments I went and... well I didn't read it, I started, then cringed, skipped most of the chapter then read the end.
And, ok, shotacon/bara aside, cuz I hate both tropes XD the drawing is awful, proportions are abysmal, personalities are a mess, pace, nonexistent.
In short, this is not a good manga, regardless of the rape and the uke/seme appearance, it's a disaster.
I read one comment that said "I'll let this marinate" like, let's better marinate the Uke, see if he looks older a little bit more hahahaha.
So I dropped this thing many many years ago, but a friend of mine shared the "forever old kid" seme ,and I couldn't believe it, so I came here, picked the last two chapters and saw everything is still the same, the story is boring and the characters are plain as fuck, and now Mingwa will justify the toxic fucker with a sad background?? XD nah, I'm leaving again, I just wanted to see the old face kid in the picture. That's an ugly kid hahahaha.
Somehow this manga started REALLY GOOD, then we got the "author never getting over Yuki" and then everything started going south, people were angry, Ue and Mafuyu despite going out felt strangely apart, as if the author was never convinced of giving Mafuyu to Ue. Then there's semi-rape, forced sex, unattended feelings, and the band "Given" WHICH IS THE NAME OF THE FUCKING MANGA is never really the center of the story.
I didn't like the second half of the manga and the ending feels sooooo anticlimactic.
I'm so tired of Korean unable to make any type of variety with their protagonist, there's always one, two or ALL of them unnecessarily bloated, muscles that look like balloons. But what I hate the most is musclesxmuscles, I've hated bara since I was young, I never thought Koreans would make their norm.
Dropped this shit.
I love this mangaka, her stories are a bit weird but also strangely wholesome.
I get captivated by her pairs pretty easily. And I like how "crude" the relationships are despite the soft drawing.
I love her characters are not perfect, and they have flaws outside the classic yaoi tropes.
I used to love this mangaka because I feel she writes good characters and different from the classic pairs... but I just read two chapters of this thing and I feel she's applying the Minhwa formula and is making a milder "Jinx", sports seme being asshole and irrational, being a prick just for the sake of it.
Without spoilers, does this get better? Or is the seme going to be an asshole through and through?
Dude I read this when I was 25 or something, I'm 38 now and I just remembered it this Monday and searched "what happened to Love Pistols?" THEN AN UPDATE!!! Hahahahahahaa seems too good to be true, but I want the first couple to have kids, come on!!! I was here for them, I still am
Seriously? Conflict after conflict after conflict is not entertaining. There should already been an arc of Kouichi and Kaius about anything, but about them. I hate how the author is just throwing crumbs by placing one sex scene between them every other chapter. It doesn't even feel necessary, just like a consolation pill she's giving us because that's what this manga supposed to be about; the main couple, not all of those political conflicts that the majority make no sense.
It's a good story but the uke didn't make sense most of the time, some dialogues were forced and the drama too.
I think the same story could have been constructed differently.
The scene when Taiga was a child should have been one of the clossing scenes, because when it was placed it was entirely diminished by Kei's stupid argument of "I don't know which one is the real you" like dude.... And Kei only wanting to reach once he's sure Taiga is putting some distance, nah not quite my type of story. Timings are waaaaay off.
Man, I hate Mu'er, I hate the scorpions arc, I hate Curtis acting like captured princess, I hate they're going arount the same fucking plot endlessly.
I don't know how many times I've left this thing and come back and nothing seems to be moving.
Please kill Mu'er XD
"You've forgotten about me"
Me thinking that this has dragged too long that I have forgotten who he is, or if I know him, or if I don't, or whatever XD sorry couldn't be surprised with the ending, should I know who that is???
So this is not in any way a critic or anything, but I was wondering if I was the only one that thinks "slice of life" is a tricky topic, it can get tiresome and out of hand quite easily. I feel, just recently, that this thing has too many characters involved all the time, and every new chapter is technically less about the family and more about where the family is at or who they're interacting with. I don't know it feels a bit ... uneventful??? Like the new events are really not that important... Agh I don't know how to explain myself with this. I guess if you get it you get it, if not, that's fine.
It was good while there was distinction between him being a dragon and him being just a possesive psycho like any other toxic male lead... now there's no difference. This is the classic depict of possesive man, as if people don't know anything else, like, if you fucking don't know how to write proper possesive beasts, why going into that hole?
and that goes for the regular stories too, if they don't know how many forms a possesive person can have why pick it in the first place, they always go for the same type, and it's boring.
Unimaginative people and lazy writers is what the world is being filled with.
Thank goodness the egg is gone. I didn't want them to leave the egg...baby bird... prince... the little winged guy, I feared that meant they hope for them to get a child of their own with magic and such was reduced to almost nothing. When I saw the baby gone I was so relieved XD
I didn't read enough of the arc to get attached to that character nor the baby.
35 chapters of technically nothing, sex and doubts, that's it. This fucker makes pages and pages of assumptions, nothing has really happen with the boyfriend, all the issues are in the uke's head and he said the seme doesn't answer anything but he's not asking anything either, fucking ambiguous questions get fucking ambiguous answers.
Man I don't mind insecure characters, but dude, this fucking uke is so damned exasperating.
Whatever, I vented already, I'm going let this simmer on a corner and pick it up either when it's finished or every 10-15 chapters. （￣へ￣）
Why korean people don't know how to be original? Why 90% of webtoon artists need to finish their stories with "historical au"? They're making it as if it's a must and it's not. There are plenty of things they can make AUs from, but nooo, they are brainless followers that only know how to copy.
I don't like Mu'er anymore XD she directly said "no" and he's like " I won't give up" nah man, she doesn't want you anymore. If he ends up with her I'm going to drop this thing once and for all.
It's turning too messy as it is with three partners, Curtis doesn't want another male there and even less Mu'er, Qingqing doesn't want him either, so if they make him her partner anyways it would be ridiculous, I hope he finally dies with that hole in his stomach hahahaha
