This is cute! Very sweet and simple. I love characters that start off as jerks and soften up like Jin did. Ofc Kiri is gorgeous and I love him but I really don't think he is a good match for the MC lol I would LOVE to see him in his own story tho bc he's so CUTE. I loved how he lit up and smiled when he saw the mc.
I liked Jin a lot personally, I think the dynamic was fun and the ending was very sweet. Also I love that the mc (I forget his name & am too lazy to check, so sorry </3) has two moms!!! I need more alpha female x omega female rep
It looks so cute and fluffy (and is) but it's so dark at times. The stuff with Rose made me CRY, dude. I was stressed out about it being angsty but everything resolved really well and it was very sweet. Love the characters. They make dumb decisions sometimes but it's very cute. I'm so happy for Rose
Also I love when they get all shoujo sparkly and shit lmao it's so silly
I'm so sad this got mis-tagged as shoujo ai bc I thought we had a stunning masc lesbian in a fantasy/period piece manhwa :(
The art is so pretty and I love the character designs but man oh man I wanted that tag to be real
Diagnosed as a fork is so funny holy shit.
Okay, but if cakes don't know they're cakes until forks go after them... Someone should make a story about CakeFork hybrids that fall in love cause then they both can only taste each other and they're both delicious to each other that way the cake's can get something out of it too. Cakeverse is worse than ABO bc it's so one-sided. What pleasure are cakes given? They have no incentive to let someone slurp their slobber. This one is better than others (why do I keep reading them? ¯_(ツ)_/¯) bc at least the fork isn't just shoving the cake around. It just feels more mutual
Cakes do get pleasure from the Fork's though.. by exchanging semen and saliva during sexual acts. That's what they get. And the Forks get fed.
Huh. That's not like listed in the mechanics of the verse tho so ¯_(ツ)_/¯ idk. They all have the same spiel but I don't think they really say anything that shows a consistent benefit for Cakes. Maybe I'm wrong, I didn't look that close into it, but surface level it's a one-sided system that seemed even more predatory than omegaverse tends to get
Well yeah but it's also completely different idea tbh... There's no risk of cannibalism in omegaverse here...
No fr the threat of cannibalism and human (Cake) trafficking is what I think of every time because that 100% would happen with the way the verse is set up
I honestly like the (later) art style for Hae-on's eyes and how shiny his lips are. The pretty lashes and shiny eyes are pretty but the proportions are all wrong. Also, hate that he looks like a kid 90% of it. Sometimes I'll give a pass if the art is cutesie and everyone has exaggerated proportions or something but no he's so much smaller than the other dude...
Also it's insanely toxic this is just so not my cup of tea even if the art is (kind of ((Sometimes)) ) nice. Did I actually read this? No, I just scrolled through chapter 1 and chapters 30-33, and 38. But that was plenty. Dude saying "you say you hate me but you like when I force you" or whatever is bad, hate it, gonna go scrub my brain out
His hair is pretty too, unfortunately :/ the other guy has classic yaoi hands like dude could palm a watermelon no sweat
Cakeverse? Now we're just being silly. I could handle the unscientific study of wolves that snowballed to men standing around glaring while their pheromones act like JoJo stands. But a cake and a fork? You expect me to take this seriously?
I choose to believe fortune teller and chiyo-chan are in love and it's a Vampire Husband situation because despite that being so bittersweet to me it's also so precious. Love going beyond mortal time limits and youthful beauty <3
This was really cute, I love the little demons and how everyone is so chill about a demon hanging around. It's just super lighthearted and sweet. Love Keiha, he's beautiful and him being spoiled and demanding specific food is really cute. I love characters that kind of suck but only in that they're sort of assholes but in fact are sweet little shitheads.
And ofc the art is very pretty.
vampire husband mentioned!!! (⌒▽⌒)/
Yay! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧ glad to see another enjoyed. I will always tear up over "She says I make her feel young. She makes me feel alive." That series is so cute
yes!! honestly all of scragony's works are so cute and bittersweet, like the first work i read of theirs was 'tangled in red' on canvas, though the original version is gone now when i saw they made a webtoon original and it had a non-conventional romance pairing i was so proud and excited
Omg I didn't realize that was the same creator! I remember reading that one a long time ago, though I'll have to check it out again since I never got far lol
The subverse stuff is really funny to me in concept bc... Huh? But it honestly works way better in practice bc as soon as they're actually doing their thing I'm all tee-hee-heeing. I'm obsessed with them.
Al is one of the greenest flags (I don't use that lightly) like he's SUCH a giant sweetheart and tries not to complain because he knows he's blessed and he does so much to try to make everyone around him feel safe </3 I love him so much.
Al losing his shit and going off on Yuri was fire because I LOVE an extremely calm character getting possessive. And then it got extremely sweet with Yuri telling Al to snap out of it and take care of Zen, but I snap back to reality as he says "Isn't he your fucking sub?!?" Lmao like that's such a good moment but that sentence is so funny to me like so unserious yet simultaneously a super sweet sentiment.
I just love how mutually beneficial and warm their relationship is. They're both really sweet and caring and Zen is a little bit stupid but that is literally his character introduction in chapter 1 like you need to know two things about him. His name is Zen. He's a little stupid. Awesome. He's insanely adorable.
Every time Al smiles or laughs or blushes or wags his tail an angel gets its wings. He's so cute.
I love it
Also! I love that the bureau's whole thing is taking care of people. A dom abuses their power? The bureau is there. Old people or new citizens need help? They're there. They're just doing good service and I love that so much
However you look at it something like subverse is pretty probable to evolve (we have bdsm in this universe also strict hierarchies sometimes, so it's just like our world but Dom/sub thing is dialed up), omegaverse is much more popular even tho it's super improbable
I mean, the way dom/sub works though is very much not a thing since stuff like the glare and sub drop and all the physiological responses provoked by commands are unrealistic. Pheromones do exist, so I honestly think there could be some argument that that is more probable even if the way pheromones work irl is minimal. Lots of animals have hermaphroditic traits and unique reproductive abilities, it's just being applied to humans in ABO in a way that goes beyond things like being intersex that humans actually experience.
I think subverse is funny to me because it's taking a role people take on in their sexual life and making it a biological identity/magical force and that feels silly. It's like if twink became a gender and people were split into like... Twinks and Bears in the Prideverse, but it was biological and not just societal/personal.
Humans aren't ever alphas or omegas so it's easier for me to suspend my disbelief because there isn't a real life equivalent. Still, both verses could be argued to be more realistic or unrealistic than the other and both sides have merit lol
Sub drop and sub space are a real thing. Sub glare is fantasy but I rarely see it (and only in manga). Sexual preferences are determined by biology bruh. And it's not far fetched idea that all humans could have nervous system and psyche that requires submission or dominance.
Terms like "Bear" or "Twink" are also based on biology - on the way one's body looks so people can be decided to Bears and Twinks and in this "prideverse" those labels would just be more significant
Even if they're a real thing, it's not to the degree it is in subverse bc like you said, these AUs just make things more significant. And sure, sexual preferences can be fundamental for people but obviously when I was saying biological I meant to the degree in which this treats it as a literal sub-gender.
Idk, I think I made my point when I said both arguments have merit for whichever position you take.
I'm normal about this. I can be trusted not to cry over it.
It's seriously so fucking cute and sweet <3 I want a hug like that too like that hug looks absolutely delightful I'm jealous I love good hugs. The art is SO SO SO pretty and I love their eyelashes and his wavy hair and the cute little faces they make and Mayo is so adorable. Everything about this made me giggle and grin. (Except when he squeezed his butt which made me want to hide in a hole)
Simple and adorable and so so sweet. What cute characters
No I can't stress enough how much I love the art like it's so shiny and scrumptious and good. One of my favorite art-wise
Y'all... This made me cry multiple times. Genuinely so well written and the way things are handled are resolved so maturely and with so much care. I really loved the representation that Taeyoung brought bc I basically never see addiction handled like this? He took a long, hard journey to recovery but he had such a good support system and I love that he became family by the end. He's such a sweetheart and it shows how much love was put into this story.
I also love that, even tho the characters are mostly cis (can't say for sure), they still mention trans folks with respect. This is very very queer which I appreciate so much. Yosef's first words to Daeshik being "Hey, four eyes. What do you think about gay people?" or whatever is so iconic. I could rant forever about how much I love each and every character in this story. The love and respect they give to each other is so damn good, even if they're not perfect that's literally human. I love that they're all flawed but they all find a home in each other. The childhood trauma is so <//3 Like damn.
I was never rude like Sohae was (love her growth) but I relate to her so much once we actually see what she's like. Her childhood and struggles to connect to people and her attempts backfiring. Her lesbianism and shitty parents who are weird and culty and make her dress modestly and suppress her, her dating struggles. Like damn I feel seen.
I genuinely love them all so much this is SO good. I love how often Daeshik is drawn as just a funky lil guy. When they went to the amusement park and he was sat next to Jihyun but Jihyun was drawn normally and Daeshik was a weird little dog. Obsessed.
Also, Yosef is so insanely fine. Like.... Goddamn. I like women but I also have eyes and they are being fed
:"( I've got post-manhwa depression now. This was too good I miss them already </3
