i binged this in a day AND YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW HAPPY I AM WITH HEIL X RIVER.. I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD HAPPEN BC SECOND LEADS NEVER WIN BUT YESSS after all river's been through only heil deserves him. im also a big sucker for heil. i won't deny that i do feel a bit sorry for khaol but mostly bc of how miserable he looks
right??? i was totally cheering for the original couple, like 98% of the time im loyal to the first couple because i think 'oh there's really only ONE couple and one guy that is just there for plot-' but NO this was fantastic.
it truly is just another way of seeing that the first person isn't always the best for you. you can give everything and its not always your fault. Khaol doesn't deserve River, after River CONTINUALLY put him first. Khaol's form of 'stepping up and defending him' was laughable at best.
I can't believe I love river and heil SO MUCH. i don't think you understand im OBSESSED. talk about an upgrade? river tried to fix someone who didn't want fixing. im just glad he ended up with someone who was willing to give as much as love as he was. and they're so??? cute?? ugh i love them
SIS IS SPEAKING MY LANGUAGE- also, can you believe him? when he said their relationship should never happen? literally, all my faith in him went down the drain. i can see how he would make a mistake and resurrect his dead lover. i see it. but after that its like he's not realizing his mistakes?? its PISSING ME OFF. LET OUR BABIES FIND LOVE IN A WORLD THAT IS REALLY AGAINST THEM.
but I must say- i did not see river becoming a god AT ALL. i literally thought that Khaol had some plan in mind? i thought he was like going to stab / attack the goddess of the earth in order to protect river, but he straight up DIDN'T. DID NOT SEE THAT COMING. impressive, really impressive for a BL tbh.
EXACTLYYY I THOUGHT THIS BITCH WAS GOING TO SAVE RIVER IN SOME WAY and then realise how important river really is to him. BUT NO nothing happened, honestly it was a surprise but a good one. it felt refreshing that the shitty previous ml didn't just intervene like they always do and then some time later realise the true worth of mc.
and same i was done when he said their relationship shouldn't happen, that's way too selfish of him. LIKE YOU CAN TELL HE'S JEALOUS but only bc river doesn't pay him any attention like he used to before
honestly my favourite character out of this was shishio. his pairing with the proofreader seemed a bit rushed but im genuinely happy for him and she seems cute. im not going to lie, i found suzume kinda hmm idk how to word this. annoying? i mean he's a teacher, you should think ahead about how many problems that'll cause him and the reason why he was lowkey about it was bc of his job. but anyway im still happy with the end!! just that i think that i didn't really ship suzume with anyone from the start. i liked yuyuka's character development a lot too. however shishio will always have a place in my heart
this feels so real as part of the lgbtq+ i myself can feel relating to this. and honestly ik most of us ship the mcs together but i don't think ill mind it if yamato ends up with hibino. i can really see potential in their love life. but i also want the best for yuiji. in the end ill be happy as long as all three are happy and content with their relationships











im definitely going to reread this from the start!! i want to relive the first couples first meeting and journey through university. i love the current story rn too but i just miss them all of a sudden
