    Yes and no.
    It's not like the type of toxic where it's glamorized and everything is okay in the end (Mostly seen with very toxic dominant Seme's and dumb af Uke's who just accept the bare minimum of affection and think of it as love or a term of endearment, aka Jinx).

    This one the type of toxic that the characters have issues going on in their lives and rely on each other for ulterior motives, end up falling in love but it's too complicated to reciprocate the other's feelings.
    It is still toxic, there is a lot of miscommunication, but I think the characters have a bit more development and depth compared to other manhwas.

    If you're still interested in reading, the story has:
    - Interesting plot (tho its the poor relying on rich common story)
    - Good Smut
    - Great art
    - A lot of yearning (mostly on the 2nd season)

    TLDR; It's not Jinx toxic, but still toxic.

    Also there is a lot of assault in the manhwa, tho we don't see much of the 3rd party assault. We do have a lot of dubious consent between the main couple, tho they do have their cute moments together on their own occasions.


    Sorry I hope that helps.

    I rlly like the way you you write your review, i feel like we're in similar brain frequency haha. If its not too much can you recommend me any comics that you enjoy? Or if there are other interesting comics with similar vibe to Limited Run?

    From the top of my head I can't really think of some with a similar vibe to this one. Tho on my profile I have some lists with my 5 and 4 reads (they aren't well organized, so a small heads up).

    But to give you some recommendations here, my comfort read is "Sugar Dog Life", a very short yet cute story with enough character depth to make you get attached to them in a short time.

    A longer Yaoi Manga that I really enjoyed was "Barbarities", which is set on an era where Counts and Lords were a thing. It's very story driven and a slow burn romance. I was so invested in the story that I read it all in a day.

    But if you're more into Manhwa's, then "Exclusive No-Love Zone" is another one I recommend. It is an omega verse, but it's one of the very few that I actually like, since there is consent and an actual good story going on. The main couple is a Beta x Alpha, but the Beta isn't really interested in romance meanwhile the Alpha is pining for him 24/7. It has a lot of yearning coming from the Alpha, which I enjoyed (Since I like when the top falls head over heels first)

    I hope this helps, and sorry if I didn't quite go into a lot of detail since I haven't read some of these in a while (and I digest Yaoi daily like a mad man)

    It's true that Jinx's Seme is a toxic pos but what you said about Jinx's uke isn't accurate. He's not a stupid character and he's not willingly "accepting" being mistreated and mistaking it for something else. He's trapped in a financial arrangement/deal with the Seme which is why he is forced to put up with it.

    Yeah the power dynamic in that webtoon is actually so fucked up. I see him as nothing but a victim, and it's wild to me that the author is trying to push a feelings plot. Really really weird story and I don't think Yoon jaehyuk can be redeemed, and should go to jail if anything

    Yes I'm aware of his situation. Even tho he is trapped in a financial arrangement, you can see that in recent chapters he is catching feelings for the seme, without the seme showing any interest back (He still treats the uke like shit, even tho he's possessive af). The uke thinking that the seme is being nice for helping him with his grandma and being "understanding" is dumb. Trusting the Seme and what he says, is dumb since he has shown time and time that he doesn't give a shit about the uke. At least for me that classifies him as stupid, tho he is a victim in every aspect, but it's a manhwa and the author just wants to romanticize an extremely toxic relationship where the uke is completely taken advantage of.
