im at episode 12, they just met, and the tension is everything. i trust ill feel exactly as you say, but now im so sad the potential i see isnt fulfilled
girl stfu his character is meant to be emotionless
maybe at first. so what, no criticism allowed? i also love this series, flaws and all. many of my favorite things are flawed and id take them over other more perfect things any day. so i didnt mean as much by it as you think. i didnt choose to notice this, it just happened and its not the end all be all.
not a love triangle per se. but there’s some degree of cheating involved. teh starts feeling attracted towards…
knowing what to expect helps, but i need to have the bandwidth to deal with the frustration and disappointment such plots cause in me. but i wont rule out ill watch this someday anymore
i see ppl say they had zero chemistry, and i see why but i think the issue was that the romantic buildup was nonexistent. it goes from a slightly antagonistic dynamic to a camaraderie to an (relative) out of the blue confession.
Fiction doesn’t automatically equal endorsement. Well, not all characters are black and white, sometimes characters…
i understand, totally. i like angst, so if done well id love this type of stuff.
i like messy characters, but perhaps im somewhat unforgiving of messy storytelling idk
i agree entirely with your second point though. often times i find flawed stories more engaging and poignant because usually you can tell the author is willing to experiment. i try to keep this in mind.
im personally a bit tired of wholesome-only bl, so i gravitate twards angsty ones like this. japan does them really well, but often with that pet peeve that started all of this. have it in there sure, but explore it seriously! thats all im saying
they didn’t do their job laying the groundwork
