well. i've finally completed this (except the extras, sorry, i need a break) it might take me a while to write a proper review for this. before I do so, some points:
  • the beginning few arcs and the absolute final run of 10 chapters were the best out of all of them, even if the beginning chapters were written less interestingly than the rest of them
  • the characters are absolutely the best part of this webnovel, hands down. impeccable direction and execution of character arcs, rounded each one so so well. yes my favourite is still yoo joonghyuk i have a weakness for yaoi tops morally-grey antiheroes
  • is joongdok real? is this actually BL? the author says no, but BL is always in the eye of the beholder. it's not impossible to see joongdok here, exemplified by the vast majority of the fandom agreeing that there's a little something going on between our two protagonists... yeah they're a little fruity to me
  • so so pleased to say all the women are written incredibly well !! justice is delivered
  • i did nearly cry at the end yeah... yeah...
I'll probably end up writing an extended essay on this behemoth. there's a lot to say.
