I don’t really like how Aria just sucked her blood out of nowhere and didn’t even apologize like that’s totally normal. Ichika tho had a strangely calm reaction to that.

And then Aria just compels everyone around Ichika and even moves in... dude, talk about toxic.
And she always avoids questions, does what she wants... literally turns Ichika’s whole lifestyle around... ugh. I hate tropes/characters like these.

I still hate Aria's toxic character, but Ichika lowkey sexually assaulting Aria isn’t much better either.
Well, at least the lack of consent is mutual then. I’m actually loving it that Aria has a weak spot like that. I’m not a fan of toxicity at all, but I’m rooting for Ichika to succeed here, so I’ll continue reading. Wish it were less toxic though.

Consent is sexy, lack of consent is not. But only one person being kind while the other isn’t, also is bad. I’d rather have both people destroy each other than only one person being toxic and the other kind.

OH YESSS!!!
I don't want to spoiler, so I can't say much else, but I really really loved the ending! And the representation, even if no labels were used! ✨

That was... very rushed. I did like it overall and the art is nice as well, but too few chapters/pages. At least they could've stretched the trips of them longer, instead of doing time-skips. The chemistry and potential for a whole season would definitely be there.

I didn't like it at first. The "getting exposed while one of the partners is famous" trope isn't really my cup of tea, since it's always the same. I'm also so sick of people who make unnecessary drama out of literally everything, especially for same gender couples, so reading that is just so tiring. As well as the "trying to get the mom/dad to accept their child" trope...

It did get better as I kept reading and I did love how both of the women in the relationship were sure to fight about their relationship. Communication was always there, even when there was a love rival (as always, so tired of these tropes), so that was nice. Reading about healthy couples is refreshing and made me keep going.

I didn't like the two hetero story arcs in the middle of nowhere much, but they were okay. Well, one of the stories actually did help the main couple, so that was good. The other hetero story, that came rather at the very end, was a bit random and feels unresolved. Not sure what the author was trying to do with that... seemed like they wanted to show the antagonist's backstory but then didn't know how to unravel that... it was a bit rushed in the end.

I did like it overall though. Not sure I'll re-read it, but it was averagely good.

93 chapters...

It was okay. Mainly smut, so if you're into that, you won't bother much about the story, probably.
For people that come for the plot, however, you'll likely be disappointed. Or annoyed. Unless you love triangle-drama.
I'm not really a fan of love-triangles, so...

All the time I just screamed at them to get into a poly relationship, because it fit. Or go all in different directions. At first I wanted Sungji, the blonde haired, to get out of there asap, but then it turns out that she's just as toxic. Rip. (Well, not as unhealthy as the other two, but still.)
It was simply an on-and-off relationship between Sumin and Sungji, while constantly having Seju there too. Seriously, why not let them be in a poly? At least they won't have to be jealous over one another all the time and would fight less perhaps.
Tbh I don't ship either of them, but since the author did want them to end up together somehow, why not just make it poly. Keep the toxicity close.

Although I did love the ending, when one of them finally let go. That was so refreshing.

It was better than the first season, but I felt like 3 stars were still too much...

Even though I don't ship anyone here really, I read it bc I was curious what would happen to Seju. And while it's nice that she got her happy ending (that doesn't involve her first love), it's simply sad that the author romanticized so much toxic behavior. Or I'm just a person that doesn't forgive easily, which means I also don't like reading about characters that do.

Anyway, it was nice reading about everyone's futures, even though it was pretty obvious how it would end, plus I wasn't rooting for anyone...

Eh. Der Schreibstil ist flüssig und ich mag auch den sarkastischen Unterton, aber alles andere... Naja. Die Story an sich ist auch noch ganz gut, durch den Schreibstil liest es sich auch ganz schnell. Die Charaktere aber sind so der größte Minuspunkt für mich.

Bei Phillip vor allem hat der Autor immer wieder gegen die Regel "show, don't tell" verstoßen (bzw. nicht angewendet), was recht nervig war. Lorenz mag Phillip irgendwie und auf irgendeinem Level ist das auch verständlich, allerdings fragt man sich, wieso. Phillip war durchgehend respektlos, arrogant, ignorant, undankbar und hat die beiden in Schwierigkeiten gebracht. Hat er sich danach aber geändert? Nicht mal annähernd. Character development gleich null.

Lorenz ist außerdem irgendwie dieses große Genie, das heutzutage als Privatdetektiv arbeiten könnte. Alles schön und gut, aber der Junge ist 15 und hat einen Mord in 2 Nächten gelöst. Kann schon sein, dass man dafür nur etwas Menschenverständnis braucht und immer alle Sinne offen, aber trotzdem... etwas übertrieben.

Abgesehen davon ist es natürlich auch wieder sexistisch, vor allem was Lorenz und Maria angeht. Obwohl Christine schon recht gut geschrieben ist, auf dem Level das Buches. Naja, die Story spielt auch um 1300, also was will man da großartiges erwarten. Außer, dass Lorenz halt in die Kategorie "not like other guys" fällt, was die Frauen angeht, aber wohl doch nicht so sehr, denn auch er muss sexistisch sein...

Why am I reading this? I don't like hetero stories, and it's especially tiring to read all about unrequited love. So why...?
Ah, yes, there's just something about melancholy I can't resist...

I really love that one character, who openly said their first time was with the same gender and they prefer having sex, over romance. I don't know, I just love carefree characters like that. Just like Rika from "how do we relationship" (Manga)! <3

Am I missing something? The energy feels a bit as if they're about to say goodbye or it's their last kiss, or something...
