I cried. Hanamaru is such a sweet and caring man. Urgh. Him saying being with your partner with a slushee in hand is true happiness. Crying.
This is like the time I read a SuperBat work on here and fell into a months long spiral on AO3 reading fan fiction. Because I’m about to absolutely devour a 100 more of this two
Obsessed! And I dont like d/s stories or fluffy stuff like this. I find the characters sooo compelling. I usually get bored if the story continues after the get together but here, Urgh. I love it. Breaking down boundaries for me here haha. It’s a mark of a well written story. So excited to see what happens.
Why is this perfect in so many unexpected ways? On paper, I’ve read a billion stories exactly with this plot but the execution is so wonderful. I love the role reversal with Sano being the top. It’s just so perfect. The cool aloof senior wanting to be wanted. It hit in all the right ways.
Why? I don’t get it the ML is so fucking horrible. I read 30 chapters of this and I’m just done with it. And yes, MC you are pathetic and I’m so sorry you have to deal with the ML. I truly am baffled as to why I even read so far into this when it gave me zero joy and every interaction had me horrified
I’m shocked the author wrote approximal Guide and honestly worried how that one will work out because this one is sooo not my thing.
Even if the ML grovels it won’t ever be enough and what truly ticks me off is that the MC still loves him. From chapter 1 onwards it’s painful to read how he wants everything for the ML. Ides of March has an even worse ML but is way more readable because the MC actually does not like him or secretly hate himself for liking the ML. The power imbalance, the yearning all of it is so anxiety inducing
Did the art get better? Because every panel has me staring in awe. Them backlit against the tv screen in chapter 32? Sooo beautiful. Also the billion close ups of Lord Mugo? Yes!!! And also MC’s chest is chesting, it’s distracting haha.
I nominate the artist for President of the World. Because wow, hang this in the Louvre. Every scene is a work of art.
Also, I cannot handle how good this is and I despise plot lines with abusive fucked up men like the boss. It makes me want to hurl but I can’t help but read this, it has taken my soul hostage. Good bye sweet uncomplicated storylines…
PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD LMAO
I don’t know, maybe because I don’t read this sort of leveling up music/actor stories but I was so frustrated by the fact that the MC is a genius as everything not even because he tried but because he can harness the power of the dead. It feels sooo shallow and unearned.
Really wanted to love it because I love a good will the won’t they make it gay story (they won’t but it’s the anticipation) but it’s not nearly compelling enough.
Can we all agree that Dazzling Breath is a hysterical name for a BL. It sounds like it a commercial tagline for a toothpaste.
I remember manwhas by their cover photos so i never noticed loool but you are so riiiight
The chemistry, the plot, the ginseng and Fox spirit. This is giving me everything I could ask for, feel spoiled and fearful too because I will devastated if it doesn’t deliver on its promise.
