Hey. Did you read the whole novel? Because i have also the raws of the novel in Korean but i can't speak and/or understand Korean so i use Google Translate to get by but certain parts of the story are not that clear to me. Can i send you a message to talk about this novel to get some more understanding of the story?
Thank you very much for the spoilers.
But I have to say that the Seme is the archetypical superior arrogant untouchable bored lonely illogical alphahole with some forced tragic backstory to make him more sympathetic and to excuse his toxic asshole behaviour.
I do realize that this story is full of non-innocent fucked up characters and it served as pure escapism but I dislike this power dynamic the trope where the struggling Uke/FL meets that brooding psychotic violent manchild Seme/ML, has become his mistreated plaything/toy, to suffer more because of him until this Alphahole becomes so obsessed/in love with him with them that he will lovebomb them with very rich gifts or elitist privledges...
I ve seen plenty other similar stories already.
I can respect others taste and understand the appeal of dark messy toxic BL stories because I used to idolized these dangerous idealized romanticed Alphaholes but I am now 30 years old, did my research on any toxic or stupid tropes and realize that I don't want to enjoy this kind of Seme/ML anymore.
KILLING STALKING was quite the wake up call for me.
I am not here to criticize anyone here who likes reading it. I just wanted to share my opinion and the problematic aspects of stories like this.
Thank you for listening/reading.
Um, a few things. Killing Stalking isn't a yaoi, as said by the author itself. This is why some people should stick to reading children's books. Please read it as a psychological thriller story than a yaoi one. It was never written as one.
Secondly, what you surmised from the spoilers of this story is quite misleading.
The story is about toxic things that happen in the entertainment industry, the toxic characters are the antagonists, not the protagonists so I don't know why you're getting these ideas from. They're extremely pitiful and complicated characters who come to terms with extremely fucked up situations in their lives by relying on each other.
I don't think you're hitting the mark on any points you tried to make it here, and seeing how you say you're 30, you have quite a teenager mindset even now it seems since it took you this long to distinguish reality from fiction.
Everyone has their preferences; however, I can assure you the seme is nothing like you just said. He isn't toxic or manipulative or anything of the sort. He isn't abusive either or forces himself on yoohan. I don't want to spoil it, but it will take him a lot of effort to make yoohan feel anything yoohan deprives himself of any kind of pleasure since he doesn't feel anything anymore, and he wants to die as well after he gets his revenge. So the seme actually makes him gets to open up his heart by showing him he can fall in love with someone though the uke denies it for a long time.
Way to generalize something you haven't read. Nobody asked you read the story. Please go read some shoujo mangas. (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
Novel spoilers:
- the seme is gonna be sooooooo whipped, you have no idea. Like he's going to be HEAD OVER FUCKING HEELS in love with yoohan.
- the uke has a tattoo on his lower back (I think) of God of Destruction (Hindu God) which is how Jay (the seme) will recognize him.
-Yoohan "saved" Jay from being jumped by several dangerous people when he was working at the karaoke shop in his bunny costume and saw that the fight was happening when he was taking a nap, and Jay was injured
- they will have a deal - he will be a temporary sponsor for him thinking he is someone else, since Jay has two names and surnames. (Yoon is a name he took because he hates his OG father's surname)
- The seme will make sure his identity as the president isn't revealed for a long time ahahahah and when the uke found out, he makes an appearance in the most funniest form ever (his rabbit onesie) hahahaha he wanted to shock him because he was so angry but Jay loved him so much that he was just laughing in happiness that he finally revealed himself and he came here in the same way
- that blonde haired bitch (the guy who is responsible for his brother's death) is a bigger asshole than you could EVER think - and his sponsor is the most disgusting man ever (he is in the arms dealing business and enjoys watching men get raped by a group of men, which this blonde bitch ropes in -the newbies who he invites for a drink or making connection - it was pretty gruesome to read)
- their first kiss is going to be sooooo cute, the seme saves him from being discovered by the blonde bitch, and their physical intimacy throughout the story is a step by step thing which i appreciated a lot - kisses, handjobs, jerking off together, and then eventual sex, which was initated by yoohan (he really waited for him to ask for it lmaoo)
- the seme lovesssss to tease him, and when he goes for an outdoor shoot, he stays in a hotel nearby and tells him to come over and randomly asks him out only to kiss him and says "ok I'll survive two more days with this"
- seme is an insomniac and he can only be asleep peacefully with uke next to him.
- the seme has a tragic backstory - abandoned child.
- A bunch of interesting characters are gonna show up eventually - for example: the manager of the club owned by Jay , where yoohan will go to eventually. Their secret hangout place where he's made to watch movies and read scripts by Jay.
