Iltae is love and I adore their dynamic so much sometimes I love my ship extra toxic but good for each other
As a webtoon reader, this was a fun read, but because it's almost identical to the webtoon, I enjoyed it a tad less due to the lack of gorgeous art.
Entire first book is about the setup of the whole thing and I love how little action it actually has. Yes, one of the main character is kind of a psychopath, but that is really what we're here for! And I appreciate when there is a slow build-up and not just 10 chapters in and stuff is happening! No, here it takes time and in that time you get to see various characters and fun interactions.
Of course, the writing is very simple, but I expect that kind of thing.
Also, while this is the Chinese version, I prefer this more to the entry that has all 6 novels in 1 with no page count... 패션 1-6. At least this one shows a bit more of my time spent!
This is the first volume of "Passion" and it's already taken my breath away. Originally, I read the manhwa, which I loved, and thought I would have to force myself through the novel. While it isn't necessarily a super fast read, I've enjoyed every part I've read. It's entertaining and I love the relationships between all the characters. Tae-ui is also much more lovable in the novel, which is crazy because he's awesome in the manhwa. Can't wait to finish!
I will write a complete review after finishing the final volume.
jako botched fan translation al i dalje je bilo donekle koherentno i razumljivo ništa se skoro ne dešava ovde jer je tek volume 1 i bukv je u suštini jedan jako dugačak prolog . preporučila bih da se manhwa čita dok ne izađe uskoro zvanični prevod jer banger art
