Up to chapter 30, and controversial opinion: im thinking the only reason why y'all are so supportive of heejae was bc A: he's hot, and B: y'all know he's 100% the endgame ML. if he had been less hot and not the ML y'all would be crucifying him for the stalking, him forcing himself into seyeong's life, and the whole "you led me on" thing feels so off to me.
like, i dunno. I don't mind MLs who are kind of insane, but the manhwa and everyone recc'ing this sell this as like. a wholesome relationship. but heejae's flags are looking pretty darn red to me so far

sigh. heejae is probably one of the most rollercoaster ride of a character in a BL i've found in a while, at least for me. i think i came around on him in the end, and maybe i will like him more on a reread. he's really lucky that seyeong is the way he is because if he had done everything he had done with someone with just a bit more self esteem it's so joever for him

sometimes i reread this manhwa just to see hyeon's face when yiseon tried to kill himself. the way that he fell apart within seconds when he realized that he was completely wrong. the revelation that yiseon is using hyeon just as much as hyeon had been using him. peak toxic yaoi.

lmfao SAME HAHAHAhsk just like today again. it just feels so good when these assholes realized they weren't in complete control of their partner esp when it comes to killing themselves lmao.
"does this mean his desire to kill himself is stronger than his feelings for me" Lmao the realization sucks af but the satisfaction of seeing him not being smug for once but feels so dang good LMAO

i dunno but im genuinely bothered by the 'we're both at fault' thing because like, almost all the bad decisions that hajin made were all directly/indirectly a result of hangyum's dumbassery. between the lying, the constant overreactions, the scheming, nd the noncon, hangyum as he is wasn't all that much of an upgrade from jaehee tbh. like hangyum got plot armored so hard.

Yeah, Karyan got shafted in the novel too, and the ending is more or less the same, but less rushed. I'm a bit mad that the manhwa didn't show something, which is that the ones that have bad endings is Ilya "Deferius" route.
Which means that the moment Ilya chose to abandon his royal status, he's no longer "Ilya Deferius" but just "Ilya" who will live happily with Jerry
I just realized that Lin Quan is the same one as the one from Starting With A Lie. Both her brother and cousin are gay lmao.
