The smut brought the quality down. But they're still cute

[Rebekka Feilke]

It was chapter 90 where the first thing bothering me appeared in this volume. It was the way Jia and Haebom told Taeseong something I don't want to specify because of spoilers. It was weird af. I have to be this honest, sorry.
The spicy scenes still feel forced and out of place. I already explained in my review to the previous volume that I want them to contribute to the story, but they don't. Therefore they just seem like fillers. And as I feared, consent doesn't play a role anymore. It's not exceptionally bad, but Haebom's no isn't important anymore. Never. This was better in the previous volume...

I'm confused why Taeseong doesn't want to become a baker anymore. It's weird and it seems out of character somehow and irresponsible for a grown adult to do. He did have other options and because of whatever reason he's now forcing a job he doesn't want to do. But it's not like he talked about that or anything. I can only guess based on the previous chapters. On top of that it's not clear why Haebom applied either. The reader doesn't know their reasons and doesn't understand what exactly they are doing too. What is SH Group exactly? We just don't know. The jib of Taeseong's mother was also not properly introduced and an earlier explanation would have been better.
Btw, the ending was really lame too, like in the other volumes.

I'm also confused about the side quest with Mr. Yoon about his private life (chapter 107). It was random and completely out of context.
But I liked the progress with Taeseong's mom again, this was very sweet and heartwarming. It was also very interesting to learn more about Haebom's parents. The introduction of Taeseong's father was very interesting as well and I can't see where this will lead to.

4.5/5 stars! Really interesting where the story is heading, with both our main characters getting jobs and looking forward to graduation!

Both Taeseong and Haebom are getting more mature, still struggling a bit with who to tell about their relationship, but more sure of their love for each other. Their relationship feels really solid now, at the two year mark. I liked seeing their doubts and struggles, especially Haebom who still suffers from an inferiority complex, and them trying to overcome them.

Just like in the last volume there is a number of graphic sex scenes, though it felt a bit less sex crazed/sex focused than the last volume, which I appreciated. Taeseong is a bit more forceful in those scenes, which I personally don't feel like suits his character... But I'm choosing to believe Haebom likes the whole being overpowered thing and likes being the more hesitant one. If those scenes make you uncomfortable because of that though, I'll say fair, I can't blame you.

The bonus chapters near the beginning with Haebom being a cute puppy, were a bit weird but a lot of fun too! Nice interlude AU story.

Overall another solid volume, liked it more than the previous one. The ending was a bit too abrupt for my liking though. On to volume 6!

Embè?! Cos'è sta roba?!?

Perché all'improvviso Haebom diventa un cane. Sembra una storia bonus ma è inserita come se niente fosse nella storia principale.

E poi, caspita, han finito l'università anche se non sembra che sia passato neanche un anno dalla storia. I riferimenti temporali erano completamente assenti. E quindi devono trovarsi un lavoro. Non mi ricordo neanche cos'abbia studiato 'sti due. Comunque vanno a lavorare insieme perché, sempre all'improvviso, Taesung ha deciso che non vuole più fare il pasticciere.

E ci son sempre troppe scene di sesso. Almeno rendono la lettura più veloce.

Torna la mamma dei due, che è sempre un personaggio simpatico, ma compare anche il padre di Taesung. Così, all'improvviso.

Va beh, ormai lo finisco ma... La qualità, che non è mai stata altissima, sta scendendo in picchiata.

It's hard to tell where these volumes end when you're reading the chapter version online rather than volumes, and those don't always match up. Regardless, this new season ups the rating for the series for a reason, and as a result a good portion of the content is a lot more explicit and a lot less story driven. Significantly less progress is made in their day-to-day lives, but it's clear Taesung and Haebom will have a very physical relationship going forward now that they've crossed that bridge. Taesung's new interest in baking is another interesting twist. As usual, his world revolves around Haebom, and if it doesn't make him happy, he doesn't seem to have much interest or place much value in it.

[SanNit's Büchersalat]

Haebom und Taeseong sind einfach nur Zucker. Der Zeichenstil ist so süß, genau wie die Story. Auch beginnt für die beiden hier ein neuer Lebensabschnitt und es ist toll, sie zu begleiten.
ABER
Ich komme hier tatsächlich mit dem vielen expliziten Szenen nicht zurecht. Für mich passt das nicht mit der Art von Geschichte zusammen.
Außerdem, was zum Teufel sollte dieses Hundekapitel?????? Komme ich nicht drauf klar. Das passt einfach nicht dahin. Hach!!!

[Elsa Triin]

i really think this dom/sub (ahem, rapey) thing is out of character for Taeseong. and yesyes maybe it is a kink for them both, but could we, i don't know, fucking normalise then talking about that stuff beforehand?? xd

the smut ruins the cuteness and there is so. much. goddamn. smut.

Te ameee

[nighttime reader]

this volume was just porn. lol

[whorefortyler]

5 stars - they introduced the smut which made it even better imo >2<

[Jacqueline]

4.25 stars

[Samantha]

still too much smut

[Maz Castillo]

Por fin lo he terminado....... Creo que voy a dejar la historia aquí. Están empezando nuevos arcos, pero es que no me interesa

[Vienn]

Even through it has many things that can trigger people, that is why I think it is best to look into the trigger warning. Even through of that it is a very very sweet Story about two Childhood friends that come back togehter as friends after a falling out and then coming togehter. Both Charakter live through a Charakter developement were they both helped each other to grow. My personal favourite time and szenes were from the High School time that is also the bigest time in the Life Action Series that is also very cute I rewatched it like 10 times already.
It is kinda a comfort zone for me both the Series and the books.

Muy raro el final, tipo kink con la Vword.
