ReviewRaptor's manga / #GORGEOUS Character(s)(764)

The story is quite interesting but the execution is really amateur-ish. Kinda like a 14 year old wrote it and didn't quite realize how weird, awkward or downright foolish some of the dialogues/interactions/ways of thinking are. It's not a bad story, unlike I've seen way too many times, but I cannot say it's good either. If it wasn't for the art, I'd probably not bother putting up with the constant child-like logic and skipping large amounts of time to get to the next scene. They have something going here, but I honestly with they went the extra mile and put in more effort to make it a flowing, more detailed story rather than something that feels like a teenager is telling you the draft of their self-insert love story they thought of last night...it would have been one of THE top 5 stories if they did that, I would bet on that. As it is now, it's a nice page-skipper to waste some time, but I cannot say that it's something I would get invested in. I'll stay for the art and possibly smut bits, but that's about it. It's nothing I can recommend, sadly. As much as I'd like to.

I'll make it short by saying; the writing is great, the art amazing, the amount of smut just right, the story perfect (especially the ending) despite it being such a rollercoaster and the characters are all likable in their own way. And I really adore the fact the author put in effort into depicting a mental illness in a realistic way yet making it work in this piece of fiction and giving it some additional factors that make it enhance the story and reading experience. Well done! DEFINITELY worth reading. It may not start off with either of the 'two semes' being likable, but they really grew on my as time went on and as their behavior got explained. Still waiting for an extra chapter tho in which our MC beats the shit outta seme's father tho. THAT would make this absolutely perfect. Or at least gimme a non-canon panel. That would be enough for me already. <3 Definitely a great read for those that appreciate good writing for mature audiences and don't just look for jackoff material with a silly, idealized story that borders fantasy. Also, a good read for people who appreciate realistic depictions of mental illness. Give it a try and let it simmer before you drop it in case the two love interests are not your thing. Even just the basic storyline is interesting and well written enough to read till the end.

Just was reminded I had to catch up on chapters here so lemme just say this: It's getting a bit on my nerves to see JJs character jump from those hint-type denial moments in which it SEEMS like he realized his feelings for Dan back to him beign a total fuckwit that's not aware of basic human emotions like NOT finding it pleasant to get screwed by someone that has treated you like dogshit. I wish the author would finally PICK something to go with. I was also hoping we FINALLY get the start of JJs character developement in chapter 64, because Dan's words as he left and JJs expressions seemed to indicate that Dan's words had quite the heavy hit to them. But then chapter 65 starts and POOF, nothing at all settled into his dumbfuckerish head and he's back to being the usual jackass. I'm tired of these things. So tired. At this point I'm honestly contemplating writing up a fanfiction that does a better job than this. Just to get some sorta satisfactory developements. ╥﹏╥ The only thing that makes me truly happy is seeing Dan actually be done with JJs shit. That's a really great developement and I hope it's not magically undone by Granny leaving the cast and JJs patting his head for a minute. (I swear I will punch a european wall if this happens.)
