pluckaduck's manga / #smut(49)

ch 70. this is where i shall stop. the crossdressing aspect is barely plot-relevant; it seems more like the author inserting their fetishes. the mc, shiwoo, is not necessarily treated with kid gloves. his friend, the doctor, always scold him about his promiscuity and his inability to cut off ties with his abuser, hyun. but i agree that mc had some degree of fault for his abuser's change, but nevertheless, the narrative doesn't acknowledge that thru the other charas' words, who instead, never mentioned it. ofc, it would be awful if the doctor and yujin actually blamed him for the abuse, but yeah, the mc should acknowledge this. in the end, he really should've gone to therapy. the part about the mc going back to his abuser, while realizing his love for yujin felt dragged. i know that a shorter plotline would not have given enough angsty feels, but throughout those chapters, all the mc did was self-wallow in self-hatred, pity, and longing for yujin. it felt rather shoved down our throats. also, there's more sex than necessary for this kind of story. i know it's supposed to showcase his promiscuity, but there shouldn't be a sex scene every chapter, yk?

a cute and realistic story. id still choose financial stability over love tho, unfortunately.

a little melodramatic. a loooot of smut. im glad it did not drag. they mention spring and other seasons a lot. does it live up to the hype? hmmm it's overall enjoyable and their love for each other is touching, so yes adequately so.
