Yessss the blushing is pissing me offf like what is the reason?? I’m so happy you mentioned the ‘stop reading if you don’t like it’ sayers, they’re annoying .
literallllyyyy!!! he doesn’t even treat u nice WHAT ARE WE GUSHING OVER!!! PLEASE
and i had to haha, some people can’t understand that you can want to see the end of a webtoon/book and that it doesn’t always have to be peak fiction in order to be interesting. like where were y’all with old bad shoujo? just bc we don’t like the romance, it doesn’t mean we never want to see how it ends lmao
Exactly what I'm thinking, thanks for pointing it out.
Considering the persona of Jaekyung, I doubt he'll ever care about Dan or whoever else if it wasn't for sexual services in exchange of sex (for his jinx). Though I get what you mean. Dan must believe JK cares about him and maybe expect something.
Chap 34 was so heavy in term of atmostphere. Chap 35 being all relaxed with almost chibiesque side characters chit-chating, showing Dan blushing after what happened... it feels like author is again lazy in their treatment of such heavy problematic, and they just flip flop things for the next smut scene.
I don't want to say one more time that I find Jinx a cliché plot and the only thing that keeps readers here is the art, but this latest chapter remains me that.
Proof is that many don't really care about the relationship of MC and ML and speak already about the side couple, pft..., it looks like it's US who are the ones attentive to the actual plot -_-
it’s so sad how the story is progressing :( i totally agree on what you said, about how the author writes smut with little actual story content. u really can see it with how the scenes start with violent sex but then quickly moves on to how dan is okay with it and we ignore the traumatic thing that JUST happened
ugh another thing but the side couple also felt so forced to me. everyone knew the author was gonna go for it and put that pair together, but they could’ve tried giving them chemistry at least lmao. i don’t care if readers only read for smut but it’s such a problem when they think the smut = love and chemistry like please.
Haa, agree again.
Jinx clearly announces the color from the first chapters; the sex scene with MC is forceful (and even more shocking because the art upgraded to semi-realistic).
Dan just moving fast from that can be explained by the fact that in these Rich x Poor scenarios, authors make the situation of MCs so miserable so that these poor souls have no choice but sell their body to survive. And if it's with a hot ML, all the better because we're in BL.
Of course a character shouldn't react like that IRL or not, he should have a better and more realistic treatment, though because it's BL Yaoi and fiction, author don't bother to write otherwise. This is lazy/bad writing. They could do better, but prefer what's easier, popular and don't take much risks anymore. Jinx defintely isn't different from the rest (BJ Alex was more original to me in term of concept), but let's see how the author will solve the case :))
All this negligence is pretty sad to me because BL and Yaoi can really be a ground for good, well written stories with smut or not. The presence of smutty scenes isn't an interference for a good storyline. The problem is that most Yaoi are simply focused on smut instead of the actual plot, the setting being cliché or not are simply there to serve the H scenes.
And yes, the side couple and their motivations are also forced, like the rest... Mingwa will again apply the recipe that made their success in BJ.
I forgot to say... The smut = love and chemisty can be (in my opinion) explained by the poor plot, once again. Other explanation is Boys Love, furthermore Yaoi, being mostly based on smut/or are plain smut: the only interactions the characters share that can be close to "love" are the S scenes, and the characters telling their love only during these sessions.
For a genre that's about romance, it's actually rare to see stories with real affection/attachment between lovers and the proofs of these feelings shown in Yaoi.
Add to that the fact that many yaoi readers and K authors grew up reading Japanese BL who romanticize rape and SA... I think that's how we're here

dan blushing after thinking JK might like him feels so icky after all this time. what has JK done for you dan, like really? if someone likes you they don’t sexually abuse you, they don’t take advantage of your low income in order to make you do things, they don’t hurt you intentionally, and they sure as hell don’t treat belittle you or treat you with no respect. there have been no good moments between them outside of sex and it’s so hard seeing dan get bashful/shy like over what?? what makes you attracted to him other than the plot???
before some of u say “stop reading it if u don’t like it” pls stop. use ur non-yaoi brain cells and think about why someone might read a story even if it’s not appealing to them (it’s called curiosity)
