Yeah seriously! Sorry I didn't see this first. It has all of these:
- unrequited love on both sides. Not ex but functionally the same thing.
- mc slept around and want interested in anything serious. Their entire relationship so far is basically him whoring himself out lol.
- third and fourth parties potential with unrequiteds on both sides, and therefore s love square.
- one character's first time, the other sleeps around so which ever you dislike you're bound to get.
- rape by way of alcohol if you count it (I do) but it's defo dubcon. The secondary character is also VERY pushy and main even outright said in this last chapter that secondary KEEPS doing things main asks him repeatedly not to. The other way around, main won't be with secondary, making him jump through hoops in order to get any semblance of a relationship whatsoever, and yet still has the audacity to complain he isn't getting any... to which he then complains secondary does things he doesn't want, but I mean fair, just also mildly ironic.
Basically, they're both really big dbags. I don't even know if I'm on board and I'm 18 chapters in and still subbed to this Trainwreck (imo. It's well done, I'm just really not vibing with this whole ass thing).
I was talking about currently. I'm still subbed for now personally. I said in my own comment on the manhwa's end page that if they don't start showing some positive growth and decently soon, I'm gonna drop it. So I'm personally giving it more time, but if the person who asked didn't want any of that, much of it has already happened.
I totally get that. I'm 40 and a few years ago I roll played being my OC from My Little Pony to escape dealing with my mom's death. I'm also heavily disabled so every day is painful. Most excruciating, but I do have good days where I get a bit of a reprieve and it's around a 4-5 on the pain scale as opposed to my usually 8-10.
My point here was that I totally understand wanting to escape if not quite what your going through. I'm also sorry that you too need the escape.
If your open to reading non-yaoi, check out “Solo Farming in the Tower.” is so fluffy I want to snuggle it lol. If you feel you need Yaoi, try out “Smyrna and Capri” and/or “Guiding Hazard”. They're both so sweet. The couples care about one another and not only day it, they show it. “B Class Guide” is also a pillow of a manhwa. I make lists in case you're interested.
Happy healing.
Omg how could I forget? There's one I'm loving right now called ”NPC's can save the world too!” It's a consent heavy yaoi where the world the mc gets sent to us not only ok with all relationships between legally consenting adults, the mc is polygamous with his harem, respectful to everyone, and it's in a fantasy setting otome game. I don't want to spoil it but it's very “friendship is magical” happy. It's absolutely a current fave
I have another current face shojo but I'm not 100% sure you'd be on board. It's called “For My Abandoned Love.” There are heavy themes and it's basically about someone being sent to a world from a book where there is a live triangle. The person who didn't get the girl takes his own life and the story is about the main character getting revenge for him. I'll spoil a little for you so you know why I suggested it. If you don't want to know, stop reading here.
[The mc gets sent back in time to the point where the book ended and life continued on afterward. She then goes to actually physically help the jilted character cope with his mental health struggles and get back at the main characters of the book itself who caused his pain. It's gentle and kind toward him and ruthless in a very deserved manner toward them. The reason I thought to suggest it was because of what you're going through has anything to do with the themes you didn't want to read about in the personal trainer story, it may give you some catharsis to see the unrequited love get his revenge for being treated so terribly by people he thought were his friends]
If you read what I wrote and it upset you, i deeply apologize. If you need to talk, I'm here but I'm not very good at getting back to people over a long period of time. I'm happy to listen though. I hope any of what I've said here helps if only a little. Keep pushing on and there is nothing at all wrong with knowing your boundaries.
does this have an ex? third party? whoring? love triangle? rape? non-con? is it both their first time?
