The type to read and chuck away after lol. Coz yeah, the tone is pretty much lighthearted despite the deviance of moral compass. The kid doesn't even process it as rape. He's been groomed and it was explicit how his brain was turned to mush with all that sex. I didnt like how it tried to villainize the sister for being a logical adult (author gave up and made her "bless" them anyway). The mom is just an unconventional plot twist and probably a forced plot driver to be jealous of. Aya is 23 and gives little fck actually. He's the typically romanticized delinquent and a manipulator who kept guiding how Nazuko would react lol (the sister was a letdown moment...but what did i expect from the narrative anyway? It's basically a let-live trope that gives zero fcks abt how toxic it is coz Aya is rich and Nazuko is an intellectual...both considered to be functioning and contributing citizens. Unlike if their "future is ruined")
The proudest feeling I had was when she finally said the words she was only thinking and sharing to us, readers. She kept thinking, observing, and learning...and finally, she said the words to her son and it held more conviction and sincerity. Besides, her quiet observation is still parenting, she was literally "watching over" them and supporting in little ways like teaching hiroki to cook or giving him her equipment...ofc there are a lot of disappointments especially when she was "communicating" with her husband (my annoyance towards him was the highest coz he knew his words were hurtful yet only acknowledged it when he thought of his son hearing him say them for years... That's not ignorance anymore, he KNEW it was hurtful and not something you should say). Love the brother's high EQ and glad he gained a friend he relates to. I'm still worried about Hirko's self esteem tho... It felt like his dad (and society) really chipped away so much of him already and i'll just have to imagine him building himself up again to feel worthy of something as a gay.
I love it because theyre doing their best to naviagte their feelings. But the background of Shuuji is worrying haha. Like damn. It's like a buzzing bee i try to ignore. And theyre still awkward so it makes me worry haha
Like it takes guts for him to speak up for himself. And tbh, the extras were confusing me hahaha one of them tells him to be cautious, another takes a dig at his sexuality, and then some pervert tries to play with him... Bro.
That's just me tho, coz it IS implied that it wouldnt matter anyway now that he felt secure with his relationship and thus become more secure being himself
When ive stumbled on this with an integral plot unfolded and a relationship mended. Coz oh my goodness... One season of so much vagueness that i want to pull out all of the MC's feathers for running around his friends but not having a proper convo with the grand duke. BUT ALSO WANTING TO TEAR OUT THE GRAND DUKE'S WINGS FOR SAYING ABSOLUTE HORSESHIT and dragging the plot. I actually applauded when MC for always coaxing his vassals when i read the grand duke's pov and how much he was willing to love them all. Yeah, he's really synced up to a tee. And well, coz after all that shit, i finally had answers and make up sex after all that dubcon—SA shenanigans
As always, a very gray area of "philosophizing realities". But i agree w rika's mom, as long as parents guide their kids to have a purposeful and satisfying life then an adult has done well for a blank slate of a child. No one chose to be born, but it's the wisdom of those who lived that molds a world for whether a child could be satisfied living in it or dread to have been thrown into it.
I love how straightforward Hiro's name is. It adds to the more or less ideal pov we want to have to make a better world where being yourself, which do not hurt others, can thrive instead of always conforming to social norms and malicious stereotyping and prejudice.
I cant believe that i actually feel bad for a fictive character but the disrespect for the wholesome feelings William had in the comments. He just wanted to make Finley happy. It wasnt even sexual like yall make it to be ┗( T﹏T )┛
He didnt even realize that it was romantic until THIS life. Like did ya think William the dog wanted to fck him, too???
Your comment made me read it and thank God I did like it was so sweet and cute idk why the comments made it look weird ....like it's a prince x servant story that they got reincarnated
This 1000%
Im glad you were persuaded and share the same vision (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
You, too, @BlackCat!
It made me appreciate the writing a lot more when i reread the whole thing now that it's 113. Esp for the character of the whistle blower. Of course i was already praying that it wouldnt be the classic "bitch" with a sultry face. And im so glad kt wasn't! I love that! I love that even the pretty boy was a true clean character and was a regret of Younggeuk. So many details on the works he has to do as well, which makes their wins more plausible...like it's not an awarded film coming oit of no where for the plot. The stories are really compelling!
Giving his mom a potential husband to offer an opportunity to pour more obsession in his acting is both funny and worth celebrating. Like i know single parents do not have to find another partner and stuff but Jisu is so cute and the new stepdad is a fellow of the same vibe as the mom. Love the bonding yeonggeuk already has with his future sis.
I burst out laughing when he introduced the chaebol asshole role coz I was thinking, holy fck, we're now using his past life to boost the realism on the character HAHAHAHA
The art style for the characters became less unique, the flair of their characters were getting blander by the end like a compromise for a deadline or exhaustion (faces were becoming unrecognizable unless theyre named). The lack of the familiar character flair in the beginning deducted the impact. Our ML looks like an "average" tired middle aged man compared to the charming old man. And well our MC, i guess without a "rebellious" streak, looks subdued. That's just my impressions as a "vibe" visual reader tho.
But the premise of the time travel, why it happened and how it affects our MC is generally promising. The execution just felt unseen from the brother's pov because his change is implied. It also mellowed out, in a way. The pacing suddenly followed the manga route where you cut the details and follow major events compared to the adapted manhwa feel in the beginning (or maybe i'm tripping). The memory loss was taken at a stride, almost losing that 10yr time skip transition (maybe because it couldve worked in a manga but it feels awkward as a manhwa). Like the drama was missing (tho i can feel the relief in the atmosphere whenever ML smiles)
Tldr, they look tired and relieved it's over at the end HAHAHA (both the artist and our ML who waited for 10yrs lmao)
