the title of this thing actually made me laugh so hard im wheezing. "a jobless guy who come to slay" is also how i would describe myself coming to any social function
okay wait can we talk about how Ijin is practically the Numbereds' (and hell, even Mad Dog's) #1 vent place. no wonder he knew all of them so well lol. also. just that silent understanding between him and 002??? yeah i'm going to ao3
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
and yes. a lot of seyeong's "hostility" toward heejae are from misunderstanding (all of which are very reasonable on seyeong's part imo), and he does enjoy being around heejae, but just. i don't know. i'll continue reading and hope that i'll come around on this
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.
Would you mind sharing around what chapter that happens? The story is frustrating me so much but seeing that might heal me
Like ch. 87 to ch. 90
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
there are a few iffy moments but the overall experience is amazing. they all deserve their happy ending after fighting for it so hard
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.
its cute but its pretty obvious that the author kinda lost interest in continuing the story at some point and rushed to the ending lol. feels like there's a few bigger conflicts and plot being set up early on but never actually elaborated on.
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
Could you perhaps share the novel link?
That makes sense! This ending is cute but they didnt really explore the topics about the "routes" they just decided to end it without explaining anything about the system.
Ooh that makes sense! But honestly that's very nuanced–similar to how the likeability gauge goal isn't for Jerry to know the targets affection levels, but rather to help him navigate the love he has for people around him.
this is a novel adaptation and i've finished reading. if you guys want spoiler about how it ends:
it's a happy ending. there will be plenty of angst and pining and you will feel bad for both of them, but it is a happy ending
Thank you!!! I’m so worried that the ending was gonna be sad
hii where did u read it?
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.
