Jinx VS BJ Alex

Idk how to explain it but Jinx honestly feels like a poor imitation of BJ Alex which is crazy to say since they were written by the same person. Like even the designs are so similar for the leads. Jaekyung is such a frustrating character and I feel like Mingwha tried to capture the same success without realizing what made BJ Alex so popular in the first place. Like yes many people were there for the smut, and Jiwon was an asshole but at the same time I feel like Jiwon was less awful than Jaekyung. Not to mention the side couple was ICONIC. Tbh Mingwha doesn’t know how to write because she gave us a repackage of the same story just with more annoying characters. Has anyone else noticed this? Like I’m not going crazy am I?

    The author is so unoriginal and unable to come up with anything other than a basic story. Ngl I've read better stories on wattpad in 2015 from a Dan x Phil fan account.

    Tbh I feel like jinx feels more of an exaggeration than imitation....they made the male lead 10x worse and the bottom someone with no backbone...at least DJ actually stood up for himself

    seriously, she couldn't even bother changing the hair color for the leads.

    So true, nowadays author think that a red flag or top who goes around being toxic and r4pe bottom is cool, the another reason why jinx is getting more recognized is cause of good artstyle. Now in latest ch how he treated dan was awful, I'm 100% sure soon enough she's gonna drop a chapter of jaekhyung childhood and how he was traumatized and forced into boxing or blah blah, and dan being a sympathetic person will forgive him and then they'll understand each other and start dating. Typical classic bl manhwa, there's literally noting in jinx which makes it better like bj alex, the main reason why bj alex gotta be bdsm and chanwoo and md's relationship. Whereas there's literally nothing and I mean NOTHING good in jinx beside the improved art work
