ari's Favorite

It has been like 10+ chapters and they’re still on the same damn day. MOVE ON.

is ha dochil pushing ml’s buttons because he likes him so he’s “pursuing” his bf instead? or is it just because he’s petty about ml selling the company to stay with mc and thus wants to get in between them?

fuck. im crying. im so terrified of aging, and even more scared of hesitating out of fear, and missing an opportunity that could change my life for the better … omg this manga …

It might be controversial but personally don't care is the uke or seme are "creepy" it’s an adult story and it’s meant to be that way, it doesn’t have to be squeaky clean to be a good story.
I also don’t agree people who say Mc always get more hate comments than the MI because that's totally not true, ML always get called out for being misogynistic when it's literally just a masculine, buff, big,or hairy dude. Like l've seen people unprovoked say "ugh he's too buff, I hate buff dudes" "ew he has a beard" or when the uke literally has a harem if the seme gets mad he's the bad one and should be trialed and uke "deserves better".

Not the worst thing ever but to me it was somewhat disappointing. It was interesting and entertaining at the beginning, but about half way through it became incredibly boring and bland.

The beginning part where chaeyoon and suho were constantly bickering and had an ongoing somewhat rivalry were fun. Great chemistry, and I personally love rivals to lovers. The exploration of the traumatic things chae yoon went through after he was exposed on tv, that was also well done. As well as suho realizing he had been insensitive, and coming to terms with the ways he has hurt chaeyoon

But around chapter 20 these elements are essentially absent from the story. Instead we have that random childhood friend that’s in love with chaeyoon. And we have both of them failing to confess their feelings, postponing them actually getting together. Oh also sex scenes. And a boring ass water polo match I couldn’t care less about.

Also it’s frustrating how soon chaeyoon developed feelings for suho. He immediately started to like him. I understand he had a crush on him while they were in high school, but it would have been nice for their dynamic to develop, for them to have multiple interactions, and for them to slowly develop feelings for each other again.

Sports anime makes me care about the matches because the characters themselves love the sport and want to win (this is a generalization of course plus I’m def not a sport anime/manga expert lmao). In this manhwa its a practice match, and there’s the creation of the external “losing will send suho to the USA” to create tension for the match (and this doesn’t even make sense). Water polo is completely irrelevant to the story. Trying to make the climax a match was a huge mistake. During the entire manhwa, the water polo team was sidelined. I don’t even remember any of those losers names, faces, or personalities. All are irrelevant flops.

Like most shorter series I’ve read, this would have been much better if it had more chapters to flesh out the story. And if the author wanted to write a sports oriented story they should’ve gone all out and had multiple matches.

At least the art is good, and the beginning is pretty solid. Anyways this is reminding me I have to catch up on blue lock chapters lmao

CLOSE ENOUGH WELCOME BACK TRUE LOVE

Arrie is too nice, I understand Yoen now, I thought he was the antagonist but turns out he's just misunderstood and pressured from high expectations to act what he currently is right now, choosing to lie instead of telling the truth in front of Arrie due to his insecurities but that lie only led to something worse due to Vince overhearing it, I feel bad for both brothers

i love the brother love so muchhhhhh like theyre not blood related but u cann tell how much they care about each toher like adhahasdfjhdh i will always defend you guysss

at this point im just reading bl for fun and gl to break my lonely lesbian heart in the worst ways possible.
