This shit is so funny. I don't think I have laughed so much reading any other BL before. What mostly goes for campy comedy in BLs is badly written pwp. This one is well written, with the right comedic timing, the characters are believable, the scene building is sincere and nuanced. Enjoying it quite a bit.
This is an interesting manhwa. Well written, refreshingly different and likeable uke, whodunnit story. Waiting for updates.
Police saying the suspect was drinking so he must have killed someone?? Yeah police won't say that unless they wanted to be sued. There was no evidence of jihyun attacking the victim, what they had the flimsiest kind of circumstantial evidence. Police (in a developed country with trained/accountable police infrastructure) have better sense to accuse someone with that kind of evidence. No court would ever convict on the basis of that. Writer just go on Google and do a bit of cursory research before writing. Just a little bit.
If a guy was in jail on murder charges, no way a school would take him, even if he had connections. The board of school would never allow it. In any case, all the students have to do is tell their parents and their parents will force the school to get rid of him. Writers at least come up with possible scenarios..
Stilted writing. There no sense of time. no continuity. Characters aren't well written or rounded. First few chapters, the MC and ML and have made out twice and reader doesn't even know what they do for a living, or anything general about their lives. The only thing reader sees MC do is take his niece to playschool when he is not trying to seduce the ML. Why would
a reasonable reader even care about what happens to these characters if they don't know anything about them apart from the fact one wants to bang the other? ML doesn't seem he even has a personality. Amateur writing.
I never realise how important these small details are until they are missing in a story, like do they even have jobs? why do we only see them at like 2 places in total
Lol I agree it's a bit amateur. But still lovely somehow.
true!
Both MC and ML are morally grey characters. Neither is likeable. It seems the story is headed towards the direction where MC will get his comeuppance for how he treated Taesan. And hopefully ML gets therapy. But well, his religious parents probably won't allow or facilitate a healthy way to cope.
Okay but you can like more than one kind of food/cuisine right? most people don't eat the same thing everytime they go out even if they like it. And even in Italian or western cuisines, there are other options that won't clash with your lactose intolerance...like maybe pick up a salad, or pasta with tomato based sauce, or curry. It doesn't have to be something with dairy. Also it's funny that the MC has gotten over his ex crush but still eating pasta ordered by the latter, despite his intolerance. Like maybe now, you can pick something different, no?
Don't know what kinda elite agent acts as hapless, dumb, clumsy and clueless as this annoying uke. If the writer is trying to impress upon the reader that this is believable characterization, well that didn't work. Dropped.
It is meant to be silly, trust
You mean because it's campy comedy? Even for campy, the characters need to be believable, which can only happen when written properly. For eg, Punch Drunk Love.
Yuh
Hah I like how succinct you are
I appreciate your honesty with the story, de plot holes. I think it evens out at the end, but that's also my enjoyment of how they are free to be as stupid, free, and domestic as they want at the end
And if you haven't read How to Define Popularity I recommend it
Nice, thanks!
The deconstruction of a relationship. The ups and downs. Very well captured.
