I have a my own Korean (Korean-America, he was born in the States) gamer boy who plays BDO (like same freaking concept as the game in this) and is hella whiny for affection and loves to be spoiled. He doesn’t cry but complains until I hold him (even though he’s nearly 6 ft and has super broad shoulders) or give him attention. And he just started working out so fully manifesting Jigu vibes we’ve been together 5 years and are getting engaged this year.
Just had to show him off a little bit bc he’s amazing and sometimes this CAN be real life!

What about the part AFTER he puked and was looking in the mirror and talking to himself, “Pyo Guwon, you really are something else…” “too good looking for your own good” etc etc.
THATS the part that freaks me out. He kisses him, pukes, then has a strange pep talk as if he’s plotting something? Or idk what but it feels… off. Like split personality or double inhabitant in his body or SOMETHING I’m confused.
Everyone’s worried about the puking and I’m way more concerned about the dialogue…

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHUHJHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHJJJJJHHHH!
(I hand typed every one of those fekking “H”s so you can feel just how much I literally. Cannot. Wait. Again. (… but we have to )

Between this and Regas, they are my two favorite right now and have a lot of similarities (fantasy, European vibes, humor, slow burn - normally not a fan of super slow burn but it works in these two manhwa).
Any other recs like these?
*edit - ALSO love Antidote (harusari, totiko). Same fantasy, euro vibes, BEAUTIFUL art, but not v funny ifyky

A few I would recommend:
I can see your stats
How the sidekick prince lives
and from the same author,
The Rogue prince is secretly an omega, although these 2 are ABO... and since we talking abo, Scent Spark
There is also the trope of mc being in the body of some animal/object, with my recommendations here being Possessed by a cotton ball and
Don't press the button (these 2 are pretty early in the story, not alot of chapter up yet)
Hope u find somthing u like

I can see your stats is great ( wish the chapters were longer as well as the sm*t scenes tho)
How the sidekick prince lives is adorable and love the drama - plus starting to get steamy.
Also reading the rogue prince, like it a lot.
Don’t press the button is one of my newest absolute faves BUT YAAAAY I have not heard of the cotton ball one SO since clearly our tastes align, I will start that one.

Okay this might seem weird since I loved Smyrna & Capri (anything from BWAT let’s be so for real) but there’s zero chance I can read Plaything because of the aesthetic. Literally hate the visual dynamic. BUT I get why you recommended it and I thank you dearly.
The other two have been on my list of a while but never pulled the trigger - since you so kindly recommended them I will read them now.
Honestly thank you for taking the time <3

Dropped to a 2 star just like that. When r*pe is in the plot line from the beginning, depicting morally corrupt characters or power imbalances, for example, it can lend to the overall story (however deplorable it may be). Throwing it in here, however, when it’s so out of character just seems so… crude, foul, and wildly unnecessary. Disappointing writing, and quite frankly, an irredeemable action from the ml.
Anyone consider the possibility he develops feelings for him AFTER he’s a full fledged adult? He doesn’t seem like the type to lust after a child’s body.
After spending years together, and the MC develops into a whole-ass man aka not a literal child anymore, the way Taegu views him could shift unintentionally. Like - everyone saying “GROOOMMEEEERRRR” as if it’s his intention from the start to groom MC. It clearly is not.
i would lwk still think it's weird. LIKE HEAR ME OUT FIRST. imagine u have a son (yes i view yw as my son) who hangs out w a way older guy ever since middle school. then, after he grows up and becomes an adult himself, u find out that the older guy has feelings for him. honestly I'd whack that guy on the head if it were up to me. its not necessarily grooming, or a crime, but it's still highkey weird. AT THE SAME TIME, if taegu decides to never act on his feelings, never confess and keep everyth to himself, I might view him in a better light but rn eh, things aren't looking good. (before someone says well ok seoins a rapist I DO NOT LIKE THAT GUY. I'm here for my boy yeongwoon only)
I definitely agree it’s weird af. I just hate people assuming he had foul intentions from the beginning when there is zero indicator of that.
oh yeah that's true. esp the ones calling him a pedo & all like. do we know what pedophilia means....
