idk about the siscon part but i like the fmc's character. she is cute
It's a great story but!!! why the siblings trope I don't rlly mind if there's no blood connection but there are other ways to connect these two characters without the label of step-siblings
og!sihyeon was so sweet. too bad he passed away, but I'm glad he found peace
it feels like a crime what red haired did to the friend.
pretty shitty of mc to avoid red hair guy after finding out he's gay but it's still no excuse for him to be forced to do sexual favors and be at the guy's beck and call. that's shittier.
Also, so sad we got robbed of this beautiful friendship. They're so tots adorable as teenagers!
Right ?? Was nice, the fact they were so close but something like this caused it all to go downhill is sad to see
I'm actually quite relieved that Ray didn't go irrational and managed to separate from accepting it happened to him and forgiving it. This kind of problematic thing is pretty evident in the genre of romance—especially toxic ones—and has been swept under the rug multiple times. You don't know how many ukes or protagonists had gone fucking dumb from either sheer naivety or love and excused the horrible things that happened to them. Just no. Just because it's how things go, it doesn't make it right.
Then again, Ray also became the “abuser” at some point given that shock of a news that he once laid with a young boy. The boy's age doesn't matter, it's the fact Ray had maybe frightened some innocents into servicing him in bed and karma is now letting him know the taste of being in the receiving end. Ray may be our protagonist that gets the short end of the stick and forced to face horrifying shit after being reduced into a mere slave in times where royalty is worshipped like gods, he wasn't exactly a good person either. But, it's how Ray is learning, albeit not shown evidently, that makes his character complex. Hopefully, he'll grow.
I'm not defending his actions, but it just makes his character interesting. Jiskar, on the other, is another whole level of miserable (in a bad way lol). Or maybe that's just my bias opinion seeping through
i feel like the weakest one here is the yakuza girl but seeing as how her friends aren't that concerned, then ig she got sumn up in her sleeve. She ain't a yakuza for nothing.
Also, I love how the trio friends can fight. I've read girl-centered action mangas before and there's always a bit of fan-service but this one does great without one at all. The girls are actually cute. Looking forward to this
