Ngl I know they’re both wrong here but I blame Hayden more. He couldn’t accept Brett and his real self. That’s why he completely freaked out / Brett’s lifestyle and morals are vastly different from Hayden’s. And once more we see Brett feel the odd one out (with the goose symbolism).
I think it’s wild for Hayden tho to have that freak out after Brett mentioned he was SA’ed and how bc of politics, the only way to get back at the perpetrators is to drag that son through mud. Like why’s that an issue? Hayden has too much of a fantastical view of life if he doesn’t understand it.
Also Brett was finally opening up to Hayden too - he wanted to enjoy those dates with Hayden. But I think they now need time to fully accept and understand one another. Hopefully Hayden does chasing cause AINT NO WAY DO I WANT BRETT CHASING HAYDEN not after this chapter.
Low-key forgot what happened. Did Woodson actually choke his dad? But did his dad die from the car accident? Does Woowon think he killed his dad or…?
Aight relax - it’s literally been one chapter, and it’s fr not similar. The only reason you’re saying it it is bc it’s about sports and it looks like MLs had a falling out at some point, despite playing the same sport in the past. Relax.
Some of us like to see sports BL so let’s enjoy it while it’s happening.
And even if they do end up being similar, let’s not forget how the reincarnated princess/Duke’s daughter trope are all the same, and so are the S class hunter manwhas. We still enjoy them.
Hear me out: I’ve been agreeing with the NPC theories for a long time, but bc of what was revealed in this chapter, I’m starting to think otherwise. It’s too easy to point and say that Bada is an NPC - there’s no plot twist here bc we somewhat expected it, and it seems like everything was leading up to this.
I think Bada is a player trapped in the game from before this session with Doha and the rest; I think he beat the game, but couldn’t escape it for one reason or another. That’s why he’s so good at this game - it’s bc he’s actually human and played it before (but can’t remember anything).
Doha and the glasses dude both were shocked by how good Doha was - why would an NPC be good at playing the game?? Personally I think NPCs should be coded to only do their tasks/roles, so why is Bada capable of such complex thought, critical thinking, and creativity (those hairstyles!!)?
He likely got his tape removed/game files deleted or overwritten from the system, which is why Doha and the rest were able to play. But this makes Bada a ‘floater’ in the game - he’s already beaten the game/had his files deleted/overwitten, so he no longer is considered a player by the game, which is why he can’t kill the killer. There’s def flaws to this (like why can he still save stuff but can’t kill the killer??), but I think I’m cooking?? And maybe some part of him recognized the danger of the game when he was an ‘NPC’, which is why he warned characters in the beginning - to prevent them from ever starting this shitty game in the first place.
Srsly, the ML decided to trust some random ass shady guy that there’s absolutely no side effects?? Didn’t even bother searching it up himself??
ML fr does not give a shit about the MC. If he did, he would’ve at least triple checked the drug before giving it to him (assuming that he’s still possessive and wants to have a family with MC).
Like if you’re gonna insert drugs, make it realistic at least, who trust random strangers on drugs
This is just a pwp story, with heavy emphasis of like I think the author just wanted to write their fantasies atp
Our MC is getting raped AGAIN even in the side stories - that’s a whole new low. And to rape him without an erection to prove the point that the sex ML had was basically rape with his past partners? Gross. Caeser never changed bruh
It definitely feels like Gren will die in future chapters and pass on the angel to MC to remember him by… that’s acc so messed up pls don’t die
She says the meanest things to our MC, and honestly doesn’t think well of her. And now she’s trying to tell the ML about the MC, probably so that the ML falls for her instead. Looking forward to ML putting her in her place
Insane that in recent chapter the ML and oldest brother actually seem to have a healthy relationship with oldest sibling trying to prevent him from getting in major trouble, yet this is in the same manga where the Yoonjae and oldest sibling are fucking
Okay so ML and MC don’t have sex THANK GOD in the remaining chapters before end of season, looks like it’s wholesome content
He was a good guy. If I was our MC, I would 100% fall for him as a kid. Like, he’s smart, he cares for her, gives her attention, works hard to buy her things, he’s handsome and confident, and all of this is so sweet and cute.
But we see how everything turns out. One way or another, Mincheol ended up resenting MC - likely bc of his own insecurities, and the miscarriage, and inability to bring them out of poverty and provide both of them with a better life took a toll on him.
I can’t even blame out MC for staying so long with him, or even still feeling pain and regret - he seemed like a great guy, and the abuse over the years likely just made her feel stuck. He wanted the younger her, and she wanted the younger him.
It’s the same author that wrote spilled blood. I was so shocked when I connected the fact that ML’s brothers are the main characters of spilled blood (esp since that short story was full of pseudo incest and grooming).
Author def has a baby kink bc even in this story, the ML also tends to revert to it. I still love the story tho - I think the author does a phenomenal job fleshing out the characters and backstories, and making them very realistic. ML has issues (possessive/obsessive/refusing to call MC his lover) all bc he’s afraid of being abandoned, and rightfully so due to how the MC acts (talking about how they won’t be together after the year is done). And MC also has his reasons (never fully developed proper friendships bc he was severely bullied, and the one friend he had betrayed him). Overall, love this story, def worth the read compared to a lot of other BL out there.
And ML does treat MC right, he just has his flaws. The sex scenes are hot but honestly sometimes a bit too much.
Girl didn’t even have a proper reason to explain why she did what she did - and then she just trauma dumps us with her poor excuse of a backstory. Like no one asked or cared, she had no right to literally create dating accounts and dating ads for ML.
And then she has the audacity to say that their relationship will be hard in this small city and that she doesn’t support them - girl they never even told you their relationship or sought your support. They’re two consenting adults, and you’re a fcking teenager get the fck out of here. Worry about your grandma and leave everyone else alone.
Seeing the younger version of the two at the end was downright depressing. They’re brothers. He spent his lifetime atoning for what he did in the first life. And he seemed to be a good brother. I just think MC shouldn’t have been so quick to call each other strangers - maybe they reduce the time they spend together, but at least acknowledge that he’s a better person now in this life.
I think Doha has no plan to escape the game - he’s just following the flow for now so Bada can be satisfied with any progress being made, but seems like Doha is secretly sabotaging Bada by preventing him from finding new messages/secrets that are being unlocked each run, slowing Bada’s progression to beating the game. I think this will be revealed once Bada has completely fallen for Doha, and that’s what Doha is counting on - Bada not wanting to leave and staying with him forever.
Okay so I’m pretty sure in the novel, the brother acc has a crush on the FL, and so he was doing all of this to woo her and get her to think of him as a potential partner. It’s really nice that the webtoon changed it so instead, he’s trying to get her close with the ML.
I actually love this story and the characters - whenever I see an update, I immediately rush to read the chapter. I NEED to see the lil brother and the baby jellyfish!!!
