that's pretty informative! and when I say faster it was really a non-exact-timing assumption very quickly pulled from the pacing I've taken reading both, as I mentioned I was thinking about the future, neither this couple or passion's are in love. and I haven't read any of the novels so this really adds to what I've read!
Maybe read in one go would keep fresh all the subtle details :think: Passion is also slow and developed in a struggling enviroment with aggressive approaches. also this mc looks like he actually competes" for the power balance with ml. Stockholm never really sounded like an option for him. in Passion.. mc more like.. is really good at running away and getting caught by his obsessed ml lol. who would expect "instant" romance from a story that has been going for 50+ chapters xD,... not me. I can only sit and hope for the cute parts
I love all flags
schlimmer colors first tho uwu
not against blackflags but I want protective attachement!
-2nd ml deserves a bite of mc (does that make me proNtr?)-
@chokerontheroad Between Passion and CA, I'll say that Taeui and Ilay's relationship is the ones that are too impulse and immediate with no roots at all. Ilay's obsession with Taeui just doesn't really make any sense. Taeui's actually the one who has some kind of stockholm, his difference with Taekjoo is that Taekjoo will never look back if ever he got the chance to escape Zhenya's grasp, and every escape attempts he did and compliance with Zhenya is all for his survival, while Taeui is even willing to go back to Ilay (it's now in the current Passion arc) without even a sliver thought of all the abuse and how he should be running away from that man, and him constantly trying run away when Ilay held him captive is just him being rebellious against Ilay (which doesn't tie to his survival at all), even the time he first ran away from Ilay and the moment Ilay finally got to talk to him and told Taeui he'll hunt him and find him, Taeui even felt thrilled about it (which is already a sign of his inner conflicted feelings for Ilay that he doesn't know yet), which made Taeui and Ilay's relationship too impulsive and immediate without any structured buildup at all.
Both stories are still great tho, but CA just has more relationship structure, plot and character's depth (with psychological roots and upbringing), while in Passion is more immediate than developed.
