Waste of time.

They made it funny and comical here. But it's a really difficult read.

Yeah, but it was still hard to read.

I started rewatching it on INK* but it was gonna take since time. So I decided to tackle the novel. THAT was a hard read.

But now, coming back to catch up on the comics, it IS a hard read. Once knowing the raw details of they sexual lives and the amount of coercion, mental pain, mental stress, on GQP....

*I started reading it on INKR.

I found out about the novel from here

I was planning to read the novel, after I caught up in the chapters here because I was hoping that the story might become better. Good thing I didn't because I read the comments first and find out that the SA and then the suffering abuse, there is more explicit. I decided to read a fluffy story after to forget my frustration reading thi s

The novel was a HARD read. It's a coercive relationship closer to Stockholm and rape than anything. I can deal w/ a little bit with rape stories but ... But Stockholm is another thing altogether. It does go into more detail about their day to day life of work and other contentious issues. If you think the kid is bad, wait til you see the asshole father.

Yuan Yang did improve as time goes by. He's still coercive so the *ap* happens often, but he did grow in both business and normal personal growth. I still would never want to be involved with someone like him though. But he grew to a level where he could communicate with GQP, and worked really hard to gain his approval and stand by his side. But Yuan Yang's dad is the worst. GQP lost EVERYTHING and bore all the consequences of this father and son duo. Nothing redemptive about it at all. Esp. After all the headache and ruination, Yuan Yang asked him to forgive his dad for his sake. And I'm like, I woulda punched Yuan Sr. Til next Tuesday.

My gosh. That was why I didn't read the novel. I really love redemption arc, where the seme suffers, realizes his mistakes, ask for forgiveness and change, but just like you said and in the comments of the novel, it seems that it didn't happened and almost nothing changed. And the seme also had the audacity to ask uke to forgive his dad after everything? I would have punch and stomp his groin and choke hold his dad simultaneously.

When I was reading the chapters, I also had the feeling that the father will be a problem later on. After all the apple doesn't fall from the tree. Good thing i can't reading cause I can't handle the frustration of not being able to bitch slap some of the characters that deserve beating. (*｀∧´)

well if you think this is already difficult for you ...then you can never be prepared for the worst of this series... the other work is called "Sissy" .. give it a try?haha

No, I'll pass. Just by reading the comments I can already Imagine how frustrating it can be. I don't think my stomach nor my brain cell can handle it. (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞

yeah it's supposed to be like that, i guess. i genuinely think it may be a part of the author's plan to lure out the people who can stomach this kind of stories and yeah it does work haha only few survive reading the novel version. thanks to the visual webtoon it became kinda more readable

Honestly, I don't know where this going

I agree. It's worse when they make the uke strong and interesting in the begining, and then just make them dumb/in love with their rapists a few chapters later.

I know right. It would've been better if they just made the uke look like a weak ass from the start so that I won't expect anything and not get disappointed.

That's not what happened.

It's not a "few chapters later". The novel had like 185 ch.

<Spoilers included>



GQP got whipped. And I don't mean he fell for him. He literally is a victim of Stockholm.
And besides that Yuan Yang would never let him go, no matter HOW MUCH he's struggled. He's just too strong physically and easily overpowers him. Throughout the book GQP always brings up the ****. That part was NEVER glossed over.

First, Yuan Yang coerced him.
Second, Yuan Yang just forced himself into GQP's house. And pretty much lived there.

Then more coerced sex.

The comic made light of everything and you don't see the brutal sex scenes. You also don't see the nuances of the development of their relationship. Contentious and strained. Constant resistance and push and pull. It's not a rosy relationship by any means. But over time, Yuan Yang worked hard to come to the point where he can talk business with GQP, a point lacking in their relationship. Because no matter how much physical contact he has with GQP, he couldn't connect with him on a higher level. Thus, he worked hard to get there. GQP makes fun of him calling him a kid - but which is true. GQP had been working for (10 years) and had been a manager and is skilled. He's 11 years Yuan Yang's senior, and has worked in the business & law sector for a long time, versus this "puppy" who's only been an army brat with no Business experience, so Yuan Yang had to work really hard to gain his approval.

Things took a turn for the worse when the sex tape got leaked. Yuan Yang got so panicked and tried to find it.
The more time he spent with GQP the more he realizes how much GQP means to him. So by this points, he had been frantic. He found the perp who stole his laptop.

But, because of this: His dad found out about his relationship with GQP (a forced one, but nonetheless) and kept blaming GQP for having "turned his son" gay, and was in deep denial about his son's homosexuality, both parents thinking it's just a phase.

Yuan Yang's dad then use the sex video and leaked some photos of GQP on the server and it went to every employee's emails, thus embarrassing GQP, outing him publicly And PUBLICLY SHAMED him. Luckily for GQP ppl who worked in the company treasures him but still. He lost face. And Yuan Sr. Forced him to resign.

GQP tried many time to get away, resigning and going back to his own home town. But because Yuan Yang wouldn't let go of GQP, his dad forced his hands further....

(More stuff happened but you can look it up for yourself. I'm tired of typing and rehashing a sick relationship.)

In the end GQP was exhausted and gave up. He didn't ever forgive Yuan Yang.

Although, no one has ever loved him the way Yuan Yang has. Yuan Yang and his dad literally drove him to ruins. Both dignity, bodily, and monetarily. Etc.

The only good thing is that GQP's parents really like Yuan Yang. But I don't like how Yuan Yang had asked GQP to forgive his dad. Like, wtaf.

But I haven't read the novel though? My comment was based on the webtoon.

I see.

Sorry I didn't want you to think this story was following that simplistic formula. I also started this series before reading the novel. But the series was far behind so I picked up the novel instead.

You don't have to read the spoilers.

Just know it wasn't a simple story with the uke being strong at the begining and falling for his ****** and abuser later on in life.

If the novel really wasn't like that, then it's a shame they changed it in the webtoon.

I don't see many manhuas being explicit like manhwas, due to censorship, so I really can't say.

Many manhuas/manhwas I've read are typically NOT representative of the true story at all, if they have been adapted from an original novel. Many a times I've picked up the novels due to the ambiguity of the story, or its being represented one-sidedly, or not fully explored or illustrated. Many of the stories I've read the manwhas or manhuas first and felt the audience (in the comments section) were too quick to judge. We aren't given the whole picture, or it's glossed over, or presented in a different way. So if possible, I'd rather read the story.

But actually, for this manhuas, it's pretty accurate in terms of the events happening, just that it was made to be too cute and the artwork to be too pretty. U know there ain't be cute Chibis in a dark manhuas (to distract you from the ill-intended consequences).
