Chapter 18: ah sorry. school had just started two weeks ago and i had presentations and quizzes so... my energy and time are pretty much on a downwards trend and tbh i've nearly hit my burnout levels.
but i'm still interested!
on this chapter:
okay but shinjo is cute tho. sneaking out and got caught but his manager still was like 'oh you must be nervous'? as;lkdsd thats cool. aww, youngki :( it's just for a minute but i had this morbid curiosity on how bad it came to be. like... the things and the stuff that having your hair like that can actually make you feel. inyoung? aah i like his interactions with seungyoon. and aww, euikyeol being a protective groupmate (although kinda annoyed? the way i read it to be).
i really enjoy the standalone chapters, and honestly it would be interesting to see more of the mix between individual and group chapters.
Chapter 18: I really like seeing the whole music show process and it pretty accurately done as I have a few friends who have worked on them and heard some stories. Anyway, it was really cute that Shinjo sneaked away and met some friends then was excited about his secret piece of paper with their numbers on it. Though, I have to say Inyoung getting that piece of confetti was my favorite part since he’s been waiting so long for this to start and I don’t but I felt like him getting to feel and see standing at the front and feel what groups that are a little more popular feel gave him this hope or a feeling of hope that waiting for this moment again will be worth it - I don’t know if that makes sense. I am looking forward to reading the next chapter!
Chapter 17: yay for chapter 1! thanks for updating. nox finally debuted!
okay quick review; i really like zhihui's pov and i loled a little at his interaction with hawon. aw, he saw the loona girls? and now hes all secretly red and happy. i like that use of show don't tell.
if theres a character i dont really like very much, it'll be kang san? i think its a good job on showing his flaws. he had a little attention-seeking habit (which kinda ruins the mood of seyoon's emotional glimpse). wonder if its super noticeable though.
Chapter 17: I LOVE El Dorado. Its probably my favorite Exo song next to Black Pearl. The MV seemed disjointed and a little random, which the knetz picked up on, but I'm seeing what I think are snippets of the fortune telling aspect. That end where Jiwoo is dancing alone though? Oof. I have theories on that. Amd it makes me not bode well for the dance line :S
Its nice to see the boys debuting and interacting together. You can actually imagine the showcase BBC must be putting together for this, and Haseul!! Zhihui your feels are showing you silly boy lolol. And you can see the difference in how certain characters interact as they have either been with the company longer and have those relationships, or the more introverted ones. The Shinjo and Euikyeol moments are super cute and I enjoy seeing how they all (kinda) rally around Seyoon. But for different reasons seemingly. Thank you for the update! I look forward to more!
Chapter 17: El dorado is a great title track for them. I think it really fits the start of their journey - looking for something almost mythical and out of reach. While the music video is a little odd in some places, but I can see how everything fits together from everyone else's music videos. I think that future music videos will only get better and fill in the story of them. I really liked the debut showcase as it highlights everyone's personalities and relations with each other - really well. I do like that Euikyeol was put on the spot and that Shinjo stepped in for him - it shows their friendship in the small ways.
Ahhh! I'm so sorry for not commenting! But all the MVs were very fun to read, and the different POVs and timeframes they occurred in also helped frame up the characters. I'll get more detailed once I catch up on some things!
Thanks for the updates and I look forward to seeing where you take these boys!
