H2hoe's manga / #Shounen Ai(32)

Such a cute, funny light hearted read. Both characters infuriated me as much as they did each other lol. I really like gaming style manhwa and their dynamic is so funny. I love how there was a pov switch that made us catch a glimpse into Heejaes thought processes. The beginning was so flowery and hilarious, and the ending gave us some realness. I was kinda irritated with the avoidant traits Seyoung had and the borderline manipulative traits Heejae had, but towards the end they both redeemed themselves as we knew more of their pasts — also the fact that they accept each other of those traumas and shortcomings. I really like the dynamics of the clan and game stuff. Art is hella cute too. I would have liked more Seyoung interactions that were not all swears w Heejae, and I also would have like him to come out of his shell more w the streaming stuff? But other than that a pleasant read.

Lowkey upset the art style changed….Okay actual review now: I’m ngl I’m kinda disappointed. The beginning was really good, but if u breakdown the events of the whole manhwa, it was really just a tonne of time skips and ‘filler’ and then this drawn out yet not fully fleshed out academy arc. It had great potential, but none of the main relationships had been developed well enough for me to believe that they had a love that transcends dimensions. It was so funny to start, but there were too many characters used as plot fodder, and dare I say that Cedric and Karl were just that? I loved yuriel and Rosie, and the two sisters- basically the whole fam, but nothing is heard of them for the majority of the story when they were really thoroughly introduced in the beginnings….also the modern world stuff?? I don’t feel like maythan/jinsoo really had a connection w Carsen like that. Also what abt the random assaulting tendencies he had lol.? The ending was really rushed, so much so that the story became almost hard to remember for me. Like I was constantly thing ‘what brought this on?’. Some aspects of the ending would’ve been really powerfu l( the fate stone bit) but the lead up failed it… pleasant read, just didn’t live up to its full potential, it’s almost like ending a story with ‘and it was just a dream…’
