I really enjoyed this story. It was very happy but equally heart wrenching. I had absolutely no idea in which direction this story was headed when I started reading it. It broke my heart to see all the abuse of power and physical/psychological abuse many of the characters were going through. I think the most heartbreaking thing though was how insensitive and cruel the ‘bystanders’ were. No one spoke up in defense of others or they would gossip believing they weren’t doing anything wrong because they weren’t the direct ‘perpetrators’ (like the media).
I wonder if the reason they avoided explicit sex scenes was due to the abusive relationships in the story or if this is just the r15 version?? I haven’t looked it up. I would like to believe it’s the former.
I loved the story but I also wished they had gone into more detail regarding the interactions between the characters. It felt as though the author only had a set limited amount of chapters to try to get the whole story out in. I hope one day they come out with some side chapters to help complete the story. I would’ve loved to see how Sunwoo’s documentaries go and see him and Hyunwoo live their dreams out together, Jungmin get some psychiatric help as well as punishment for the things he’s done, and Taesung’s life outside of the kpop industry.
I don’t know about anyone else, I am getting manipulative vibes from Nick. He’s basically doing what he wants, and coercing Owen into “choosing” what he (nick) wants as well. I’m gonna have to read the novel and see if he gives off the sames vibes.
Any update for that novel?
I knew he couldn’t have regressed just to re-play a game he lost in. So it’s now a dungeon-esk story.
Love how Heewon’s basically going against “fate” or whatever destiny there’s planned out for him and still wants the hyung. You go gangster man!
I think its pretty fucked up actually. He’s willing to make his actual soul mate suffer twice to be with someone he probably only likes because of his bad karma. Now not only does he know hangyul has to be without him, he’s killing his new chance of happiness with the guy his threaded to now so can get with his only family. It’s pretty fucked up if you ask me.
EXACTLY
I don’t think he’s intentionally trying to make Hangyul “be without him”. It looked to me like he saw the hyung and instantly fell for him rather than for the little brother.
It also doesn’t seem fair that he force himself to be with someone else just because a shaman says his actual fated one is someone else. His string of fate is broken and Heewon just fell in love with someone else and Hangyul did the same.
I just hope they each end up with the one they love. We’ll see what happens, I guess.
actually he does some fucked up shit to mc later on just because he wants to make the brother his soulmate or at least get with him
He also decided he wanted to get with him after seeing him once and is willing to fuck up mcs life for a second time for it lol yeah here’s hoping he doesnt get what he wants
yeah people seem to think its love triangle but its clearly not theres an endgame for both the gangster and ML so they both get happy endings even though theyre douchebags and they both get with the person they've been obsessed with for years... they're quite lucky, the brothers not so mucu
Well thats a disappointment
Did i miss a chapter?! I am legit confused, it feels like I’ve skipped a whole chapter. Is this what the chapter is supposed to be like?
I hope the male lead lost his memories after the kiss and the mermaid went back into the sea.
Lol
I hated Kile, he was so completely and utterly useless and annoying. Not once did Kile or any of his ‘allies’ take the initiative to teach Kile how to control his supposed awesome powers or how to even suppress the surges. Kile’s indecisiveness also often put everyone else in danger. I actually preferred Ray to Kile, and he wasn’t even in there much.
The story had so many plot holes and so many of them remained unresolved. What happened to Chief Anderson? Edith’s right hand man? Why couldn’t Atropos just have met Ray waaay back when he wanted to have his esp removed? She seemed to not be under much surveillance from the bureau if she was able to transport herself from that green house to Edith’s home and back. What was it she wanted to see Kile and Ray for when she asked Asher to bring them in? What about the Bureau? It feels as though there was so much dissent against the bureau but ultimately nothing happened.
Then there’s Ray and Kiles relationship. It felt as though Asher and Lou had a deeper connection to Ray than that between Ray and his literal brother.
I think this story could’ve been a lot better. It feels as though the whole ending was just a copout. I also think Asher and Ray would have been a better love story than Kile and Lou.
Asher, Alec and Lilly = MVP!! They literally covered for everyone when it came to the action scenes.
I kinda agree with you on that, while I don’t hate Kile, I blame the author more for not writing a better story. There are so many flaws, so many unanswered questions and some parts were poorly written. I wish this was written better by someone else. God I really do wish this was written by someone who do better. I’m pretty sure any guideverse authors can do it.
