Guys, what is this talk about 7 years in the future and where did all the people go??? But also, what’s going on??
sunwoo said “this cruise is famously known as the “7-year cruise.” rumor is that if couples go on it they might meet their spouse from 7 years into the future.” it’s just a cute little plot to put as a side story
Oh okay! I got that but I was confused as to whether or not I missed something huge lol
Thanks!
Where are the raws for this one?
Only one chapter ahead
Ngl guys season 1 was okay at best. I was initially interested in this story because it had to do with aliens which is not your everyday theme in BL’s but GUY… season 2 was insane. The way season 1 wrapped up hooked me fr and the drama of season 2 stressed me tf out lmao
Can someone tell me when the chapters in the link someone shared updates?? Lol I don’t want to forget about this one!!
The site closed down unfortunately
uggggghhh noooooooooOooO
GUYS, let’s be real here. Gangster has to be endgame, hands down. Y’all would NEVER forgive a dude that did that to you in real life. It’s just ridiculous. He lied, took the MC for a fool, and was the whole reason his life was in shambles to begin with. Like, HELLO?! MC lost his acting career, his family fell into debt and poverty, his dad became an alcoholic and then his parents divorced… I can go on and on. There’s nothing worse than being kept in the dark, none the wiser, while you’re out here playing monkey.
My only complaint is the boxy panels. I mean it works but I feel like there’s too much of the white background. It takes away from the immersion.
Tell me why I spent an entire day reading this from start to finish. Okay, so… here are my thoughts:
Their relationship is a heaping pile of doo-doo on fire. I’ve read hundreds of BL with batshit crazy men, but GURL… Ilay is absolutely mental. His attitude was hot and cold from day one, and his so-called “character development” sucked. In other series, you at least see the crazy characters gradually become better people. But Ilay? He literally treated him poorly the entire time, then suddenly apologizes once (bare minimum, mind you) and we’re supposed to believe it’s all sunshine and rainbows? Please.
Xinlu was batshit too, but at least he treated our MC well in comparison. He had that “sweet only to me” energy, and honestly? I’ll take that over whatever Ilay’s got going on.
And listen, Ilay is hot—don’t get me wrong—but he’s still an ass. He literally stole this man from under Xinlu. But then Tay… oh, Tay. He played himself. First, it’s all “no way in hell I’m bottoming” and then suddenly, “Well… if it’s Ilay, I guess.” Like, WHAT? Ilay is ten times more unhinged and you’re just like, “Yeah, that checks out. Let me hand him my booty on a silver platter.” Sir… you’re contradicting everything you stood for.
LMAOOOO I loved this
I’m still not done reading it yet but I agree with youuu. I don’t like how Tay allows Ilay to do those things with him when he knows Xinlu hates Ilay. I’m in ch 53, in ch 52 Xinlu, Tay and Ilay were having some convo and it’s so clear that Xinlu feels threatened by Ilay’s presence in Tay’s life. Xinlu wants Tay to quit because of Ilay for god’s sake, that should tell something. But in ch 53, Ilay and Tay get’s on with masturbating. Like wadafak Tay. It’s like Tay is cheating on Xinlu, it’s hard to read.
If Xinlu was the male lead, it would be so wrong yk.
My point exactly! How do you obsess over a man, actively seek him out, and build a romantic relationship with him, only to dump him because you don’t wanna give him your booty? And the excuse? Total BS. “I don’t bottom” and “I don’t like that Xinlu is possessive”—okay, sure. But then you turn around and get with Ilay, who does all of that on steroids. This pairing feels so forced. I hate it. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
YES FINALLY BRO I NEED TAY TO STAND UP OR CRASH OUT, wym you're gonna let this man hold your head down while someone walks in on you, ooooo taeui ur getting humiliated SO BADDD please stand up???
he didn’t let him??? he was forced and was crying?? idk if any of you have read the novel but their relationship doesn’t progress much until ds and the other novels
I haven’t read the novel but honestly I don’t feel like I have to. 100+ chapters in and this is his character development? It’s so underwhelming. Always hot and cold, bipolar af. Tay’s reactions to what was happening to him made 0 sense. The story is just so messy and convoluted.
Okay but… as a novel reader, you gotta understand Taeui first.
He’s been compared to his genius twin his whole life
ever since Taeui was a kid, Everyone around him always wanted something from him just because of his twin’s talent.
Because of that, he has lower self-esteem and his mental health isn’t great. He thinks he’s just “normal,” but actually no — if you really analyse his character, you can see it.
And Ilay? He’s the first person who never wanted anything from Taeui.
Why? Because Ilay already has everything — wealthy, lucky, strong, intelligent. That’s why Taeui has a soft spot for Ilay Riegrow.even if Ilay’s hot-and-cold and a jerk sometimes
Yeah, you’re not wrong — Ilay is asshole till the end of book 1 .His character development isn’t huge all at once, but it takes many years to make him less inhuman (thanks to Taeui).
And for Xinlu… at first, he wanted Taeui because of luck (Gil-sancheon). But then eventually, Xinlu started to fall in love with Taeui — until Ilay came and snatched Taeui away from him.
(Lil bit spoiler here if you don't mind)
Xinlu’s hate for Ilay is bigger than his love for Taeui. In the end, he just wanted to take Taeui from Ilay so Ilay would suffer from losing him. And yes, he really did make that happen.
I recommend you to read the novel but if you don't want it's okay because passion book 1 it's really messy and their character development ( ilay&taeui) start book 2 (diaphonic symphonia)
Aaaaaa no sorry that's not what I meant I wasn't blaming taeui I mean like he definitely should have beat the shit out of illay for doing him dirty or something
tbh your opinion is very valid and I kinda agree with some of your thoughts (and this is coming from someone who likes Ilay, who adores Iltae’s dynamic and a fan of the novels). Ilay’s ‘character development’ in PASSION is still gradual since you need to see first how unhinged, obsessed and toxic he is, and he actually serves as a toxic ML in my opinion (so ppl hating on him in PASSION is very understandable). But he is so much better in 2nd esp in the 3rd book.
Tae is also an unreliable narrator and kind of confusing. Hes more heavily attracted to Ilay than he was with Xinlu even from the start. Tae was smitten towards Xinlu at first bc he claimed Xinlu was his ideal type (Tae was a popular ‘top’ in Korea’s gay community prior to UNDHRO and Xinlu looked like this cute submissive type he usually dated so he was disappointed that Xinlu wanted to top him, then hes starting to realise that Xinlu seems to be a sheep in a wolf’s clothing). Then Ilay is the domineering type & Tae couldnt possibly top him (so thats why he said that Ilay is not his ideal type) but hes pretty much kinda attracted to him physically (except for Ilay’s dck which he hated so much) so I think thats why he let Ilay sleep with him. These three really did have a messy relationships (reason why I also dropped reading PASSION the first time, the love triangle thing was really messy and infuriating) so i kinda just skipped their arc lol.
Reading the novels would make you understand their dynamic and characters much better though I admit that in passion, it’s still pretty much very toxic, thats why it’s also my least fave book in passionverse
Hi can I ask what the names of the three novels are and where I can read them?
The fact that Tay has to constantly “fix” Ilay is exhausting. Ilay’s personality is awful for no reason, which makes the entire story feel weak. There’s no traumatic incident or rough upbringing to explain why he’s such a jerk—he’s just badly written.
The characters’ actions are inconsistent, and the plot is full of holes. Someone even admitted to skipping the whole messy love triangle and relationship development because it was frustrating and unbearable. And honestly? If parts of the story are so messy that readers skip them, that’s a huge problem.
Then there’s the whole dungeon/detention thing. You know, where they throw him after he kills multiple people? How can someone get away with that? It doesn’t matter how “special” you are, it’s completely unrealistic and just ridiculous.
And the “good luck charm” subplot? Totally pointless. It pops up out of nowhere and adds nothing to the story.
Honestly, this series is currently over 100 chapters long and should be way more fleshed out than it is. People are only sticking around for the nice art and hot characters. For what should be a substantial story, this is utterly disappointing. I can go on and on.
PASSION: first book
Diaphonic Symphonia: 2nd book (mostly focuses on Taeui and Christoph, one of the main charas in DS)
Suite: 3rd book (Ilay x Taeui back in UNHRDO)
Raga: 4th book (Xinlu x Yuri’s story)
I could DM you the link if you want, both the official and the fan translation
Omg pleaseeeeeee that would be lovely, thank you
@dianxianini can you please send me as well Thank you.
Can someone just tell me what your theories are regarding the beginning and end of chapter 13? Everybody’s talking about how this is inappropriate blah blah blah and it’s not. He’s literally an adult. But anyway, I need someone to talk about what’s going on because I’m a little lost. What are y’all theories?
I say he has artificial memories and he was a failed experiment that they decided to keep using for the purpose of the research since they ppl funding this whole thing aim to make their experiments smart. The MC got hurt and they just wiped his memories since he supposedly wasn’t that involved with the ML but they still assigned him to MC. Now that dream is all weird it implies that we can’t trust the MC because his memories aren’t intact he’s now an unreliable narrator for this story I say the ppl built him an entire life. But the ML keeps maybe being reborn or having this memories put into the same body wi the the intention of forgetting and he keeps remembering. I think I’m thinking too deep though
No, I think you're right, you're almost there. I was actually thinking the same thing, but that AP0 and AP1 were different like twins. Judging by the last chapter tho, I think he's also the same person. And there's definitely some history of accident which is also why he's the one chosen to be his caretaker.
I have come to conclusion that he is not even human so we can't fit him into human category cuz he is advanced in traits
GUYS NEW THEORY! what if MC was originally and omega? But because of something that happened or for sole odd reason… his memory was wiped and he’s been left in the shadows? Maybe they lied to him and made him believe he was a beta!
Omg true I haven't even thought about that! But then even if his memories are wiped, wouldn't he experience heat (bc he assumes he's a beta and won't take suppressents) Dang this is big brain
Yes, but the reason why I thought of this in the first place is because in the latest chapter he starts getting heat-like symptoms… & he seems confused by it too. What do you guys think?
That's a good theoryyyy, either that or because of seme's ultimate alpha genes, he's changing uke's genes to ba an omega. Either or is such a plottwist thooo
