Seiichiro is a fucking sweetheart mannn I love him- and ichiro, too like damn.. he's so fucking hot but then cute too.. and I need him pregnant ngl. but! I really liked this being shounen ai!! and it was a genuine nice read all around!!
A Room Without Window
goddamn? Holy fucking hell, was this good.The characterization was amazing, gitae was incredibly likable even with his 'cliché angry' personality because he wasn't JUST that. And though I didn't cry, I felt so incredibly bad about jihoon like :(( my sweet baby would've been doomed from the beginning no matter what.. but it's okay! now he has a great husband who loves him deeply!! I liked how the story was done, how the heavy subjects were treated right, (jihoon crying after finding out gitae used to be gangraped was such a good, realistic reaction, so was gitae's reaction to jihoon's childhood and his resentmentfor his parents) and while they weren't brushed over annoyingly fast, we still see the characters naturally, slowly get over everything with mutual support.. not to mention, the world setting really made it feel like it's burning and apocalyptic so!! kudos to author-nim!! SO beautiful!!! I'm so so glad I decided to give this a shot! it's definitely one of my best reads in a while, even if I mostly predicted the plot in chapter one.. (I was right about 45%)
