Lmao, at first I thought the overturned pile of dirt was a bunch of cow shit that he was excited to use as fertilizer and was like
Ew why are you putting your hands in that shit lol
I kind of like how each chapter seems to stand alone(?) kinda
Just how each one introduced a new conflict and resolved it by the end, it feels very cleanly done
Tho it definitely did have the first chapter feeling kind of rushed and I was a little bothered by the fact that they were willing and desperate to suddenly fuck each other when it felt like they had only just barely figured out that they even liked each other like that in the first place
But either way it was a really good read and I like the characters and how they get into fights that feel realistic on a level and then work through it
Lmao the fact that Deacon just walks around without any pants on more often than not is hilarious to me
Okay but right off the bat, a bottom who actually communicates their needs and desires in sexual situations??? Who doesn't just go with the flow or do whatever the top wants but actually communicates during sex a nd has a partner who listens ( . . . Usually)
This is so amazing and they are one of my favorite couples<33
I swear there is such a lack of bedroom communication in yaoi and romance stories in general that this almost made me happy cry
I miss the original art style, it was super cute, expressive, and unique and I felt like it really set this comic apart from a lot of others
I definitely prefer this new art style tho when compared to the previous one, because the other art style made the FL look suddenly way older and more mature and didn't fit the vibe as well
Or at least didn't fit my personal preference as well since that's what this is really about lol
(This isn't to say any of them looked bad, just explaining which ones I prefer)
I definitely miss when the comic was more focused on cooking tho :<
No because it's the fact that they are both just taking turns raping her. She says no, she means no. She has had consensual sex with both of them at different points (I'm pretty sure, didn't bother actually reading most of the sex scenes cuz they were pretty boring cut and paste) but there have been way too many times where the act was started and she clearly said no (it doesn't matter her reason for saying no or if part of her "actually wanted it" by the end, because the other part clearly didn't).
Initially, she didn't have an "affair" with his brother, she was raped by him multiple times and then he acted like it was an equal act.
Honestly she's really just treated like an object for these two guys to fight over.
Anyway, you can't convince me this isn't a story about an emotionally and sexually abused woman.
Realistically, if Riftan wants to protect Maxi "from herself" kinda and how she rushes into situations that she doesn't actually know how to handle, he needs to give her an actual position and job in these scenarios so she can feel of use and busy while being out of danger. Because as she has shown, when left to her own devices, she has a tendency to get in over her head due to her lack of experience. So logically, she needs to gain experience from a safe distance to avoid these situations.
I won't lie, this is still controlling behavior but when it comes to violent and dangerous situations, he is the commander guy so it's appropriate.
But he also has to drop that control when it comes back to their everyday lives and allow his wife to leave the house. Riftan has wayyy too much anxiety in this regard for his relationship to be healthy so those trying to fully justify his actions seem real silly to me. Some of his control IS justified (like I mentioned before with the dangerous battle-y situations) but the rest is not and just categorizing one or the other as "completely in the right" is totally missing the fact that they both need to grow in this situation and that Riftan's actions could make it harder for Maxi to grow how she needs to
Seonwoo definitely feels autism-coded to me . . .
I'm not saying he like actually definitively is, he just has a lot of traits that overlap with autism symptoms and signs that I (as a person w/ tism) really relate to and it makes me just love his character even more
(And even if it isn't autism, he's defo not neurotypical imo)
In other news, sometimes I see the antenna that are Mr. Jeong's eyelashes and have to laugh
Okay I honestly love that Bayan's still doing things and that her life and thoughts aren't suddenly all consumed by motherhood
But could she spare her daughter more than a single thought? And why can't we have a wholesome father daughter relationship where he loves his daughter as a doting father? It really feels like they haven't shown a single ounce of affection to this baby since the moment it was conceived
It managed to focus so much on the parents during the pregnancy but never address any feelings they had about their baby or becoming parents and that trend has just continued up until this point
Wow it's a baby that actually looks like a BABY :O
Not just a tiny adult with big eyes and a big head, but an actual baby and she's so cute I just q.q
I thought he might be her uncle!! :DD
That means she must have gotten hr copycat mage thing from her mom's side which I hadn't thought about
Lol she's definitely whiney and I can see why people find it annoying
But it's honestly a shift in her character to kind of show how stress free her life is now compared to before when she was dealing with all the life and death stuff all the time
Also I think it's funny the people bring up her past studying to complain about why she's whining but she definitely whined back then too (whining about studying has been pretty consistent throughout the story I think, especially when it comes to math . . . So maybe my other point doesn't really stand as well)
She enjoyed literature and social studies but despised math if I remember right
Anywho, I hope she chooses to stick with the treasury job, at least until things stabilize, out of loyalty to the overburdened workers. I hope she stays long enough that the emperor regrets assigning her the task cuz she has no time for him anymore cuz that's just the kinda petty drama the feel right for side stories
(Still mad about the complete lack of baby/parenting content tho)
You can't just magically cure the trauma of the early chapters!! (╬￣Д ￣)
