trisaratops want to read (All 74)
beta
Idk, I kinda wanted at least a bit more of groveling/chasing on Andante's side. Not saying Hyoseop is gonna take him back in the next chap because idk, but it's kinda the vibe I'm getting - that the resolution is gonna be hecking fast. I read the spoilers for the whole thing way back when this was first getting released, and the story was fun and stuff, whenever Andante pissed me the fk off, I was kinda reassured knowing he was gonna suffer from regret and stuff towards the end. Plus I feel like a solid regret/grovel/chasing arc is super rare in yaoi, so I was kinda hyped to see that. I had heard from other readers the grovel/chasing arc got too lengthy in the novel, so I figured it'd get shortened a bit, but I feel like we're zoomin to the end haha
oh no, its not just get shortened a bit, it was A LOT. if you want a long long full or regret and emotion chasing arc i highlyyyy recommend you to read the novel
Oh yeah! I can tell it's been shortened a lot. I had meant I had expected it to be shortened a bit in the webcomic, but this feels like too much haha. I did start the novel, and am enjoying it so far, thanks <3
I love a good regression story and it feels a lot more slice of life, which is totally my jam so overall I do like it!
Things I don't like:
- how the kid FL is written. Adult her was cool, so the fact that she's just a straight up 1-D character who just looovveeessss the ML is annoying. I seriously hope she moves past this crush and they actually get together as successful adults who find each other again. I hate the trope of the FL just waiting for scraps from the ML while providing endless love, and it's even weirder it started with girly being 5 years old.
- the FL's parents! Something seriously bothers me about the fact that the parents are all besties (or at least the ML's dad was first), but in the previous life it just seems like the "in-laws" didn't care at all. Yeah, I get all the stuff about not catching each other before they died, but there's no way you're going to tell me they did not run a background check on the ML when he was a working adult and find out who his parents were! AND he was forced to work late on his parent's death anniversary only to be asked to marry their daughter!! He had no idea they all knew each other!!! All of the parent friendship stuff rubs me the wrong way. Not to the point that I can't read the story, but the first part of the story was rough for me to move past.
There are a lot of loose ends that I'd like to see closed, so I still am going to continue reading. I will be upset if our FL gets no character development either.
