I see you have Killing Stalking in your reading list,
bruh, that is way fucked up compared to this one! XD
Comparing what is worse? Doesnt matter, both are horrible.
Might as well read this one. x)
What are you talking about? ???? Killing Stalking falls under the thriller/horror genre which I don't have a problem with. I have a problem with stories under the Drama/tragedy genre; I try to stay away from stories where lovers die, don't stay together or innocent children are abused or worst, where life's tribulations and angst seem non-ending. Those type of tragedy stories have a strong effect on me and make me depressed, that's why I try not to read them. Or maybe don't see a distinction between the two genres? Conversely, though, I do have a huge problem with chap. 19 of Killing Stalking which I had already commented on, but that's another issue. People should try to think before they react ( ̄へ ̄)

ehmm....yes it does matter; child abuse in drama has a more profound effect in the human psyche than what happens to adults in a horror movie or story. Of course that there are people that can't stand either, but in terms of moral weight and the effect it has in the human consciousness, child abuse (rape, beating, mental abuse) takes the crown as one of the most grievous of human evils. I seriously don't see how you can place on equivalent terms the prolonged suffering of these two children (based on everyone's comments here) with a sensational horror manga like Killing Stalking. I'm actually baffled at these comments, as I realize people don' t recognize not only the differences in genre and the different expectations one has of each, but that they find the "child suffering" in this story far more tolerable to what is happening to adults in Killing Stalking, which again, is a horror manga.... smdh....
First off I would like to point out that there is no tragedy tag above mate,
Second I would like to ask before any judgement if you have actually read the content of this book?
So, basically you are judging a book by its cover?
The comments below aren't even legit, and isn't even the center point of the story.
Your basis is as if you're someone that listens to rumors and immediately define it true, without seeing the actual thing before judgement?
I am guessing that most of your thoughts that what might be the content inside this book is base on what you see in the cover? Mixed with most of the comments that doesn't really explain the story well at all. This story is about prostitution, yes, but the MC is trying to look for a way out, this story is obviously going to be a happy ending if you read it actually. It is about a brother trying to find a way to escape the sad fate they have been dragged on, to look for a way out to have a normal life with his little brother. If you're not into mangas that is about REAL LIFE hardships and hopes, well... I really am not trying to start anything like a fight or something but hearing someone despise something so easily without even giving it a chance is just too... Annoying.
Sorry, but if you're really not into this manga and all. You can just leave without starting something... Sorry.
You know, it just hit me now.... So according to you, the viewpoint of all the readers that have something to say about this story that is contrary to your opinion is not "legit"?, but yours is? :)
btw, you don't have to worry about me thinking you're trying to start a fight or anything, or even take offense; I don't agree with your reaction but I'm an ardent believer in freedom of expression, and that's one of the reasons why I don't "thumb down" fellow readers whose opinions I don't agree with, (even with those that have been plain nasty) and in the spirit of transparency I prefer to be upfront with people and I'm not afraid to assert my viewpoint even if it's unpopular, so I wouldn't expect any less for anyone else. I also engage in this Yaoi and other forums under the assumption that most of us are adults and that any public opinion I choose to share is open to contention from fellow readers, and I'm ok with that. however, I do think that you are being a bit irascible about this whole thing, taking it a bit much to heart for what it is....have we crossed paths before? it's hard to tell with the anonymous handle.
But regarding your estimation of my character, let's just assume that I am indeed a frivolous ninny of limited sensibility and cognitive capacity, who is only interested in fluff because I lack your superior mental and emotional dexterity to appreciate and understand the dramatic stories that explore and depict the darkest aspects of the human experience; if that were the case, why would that upset you so much? even though you are within all your rights to think whatever and feel however you want :)
For what I read of the comment of kyoran he/she is not despising the story, only has chose not to read it because like some people, me included, its disturbing, because Ive already read mangas with this topic and I know it make me phisically sick . In my case I can be weeks depressed not being able to get it out of my mind, cause this situations happen so often in real life.. is too awful to think. Everybody has his right to read what they want and have an opinion to share or convey it. And I read mangas of all types, included the dark ones but I know there are mangas, books, whatever that I dont like and I dont have to force myself to read them. Thats the reason of write a sypnosis in the back of them. Anyway if you are trying not to start a fight you are not doing it very well ;/
It's cute how you keep putting :) faces,
but dear love please be reminded that the word "legit" has two meaning.
Either it could be "TRUE" or "AWESOME",
I was referring to awesome, I was stating that the comments below aren't awesome due to the negativity, that the comment section is not perfect compared to some others, and I don't think I recall saying that my statement is "LEGIT", which maybe you immediately thought as "TRUE" basing to your words unless you're adding something up inside your mind.
"Mixed with "most" of the comments that doesn't really explain the story well at all."
That sentence would be my additional answer for your first paragraph, and then you said that you don't thumbs down to fellow readers you don't agree with? Preferring to write and state with your mind instead? Odd, doesn't that make things worse rather than a simple thumbs down? By the way, I think it's okay for you to thumbs down in this comment section. Just by your words "I don't thumb down with fellow readers I don't agree with..." But here in your condition "...I chose not to read this?...", you didn't read, we aren't fellow readers in this comment section.
And then you added, "it's hard to tell with the anonymous handle". I am actually confused with this statement, are you saying "what" or "with"? If it's what, then yeah, we don't really know what strangers handle in their daily life, and if you are saying "with". Well, are you pointing out that I am a coward because of being an anonymous. :O yup, I guess this is pretty much a cowardice act huh? But, isn't it smarter to play as an anonymous in a site that you are allowed to be one rather than actually making an account? The internet can be a very scary place, you never know.
Then again you said something about "Lacking...explore and depict the darkest aspect of human experience...", well, WHOA THERE LOVE! Why would I think you lack the superior mental and emotional dexterity?
You mentioned "I have a problem with stories under the Drama/tragedy genre; I try to stay away from stories where lovers die, don't stay together or innocent children are abused or worst, where life's tribulations and angst seem non-ending. Those type of tragedy stories have a strong effect on me and make me depressed, that's why I try not to read them." That already gave me a hint dear, I don't see the point of you taking it back?
I'm the one you called and pointed out stupid love:
"People should try to think before they react ( ̄へ ̄)"
"Exactly, annabis, it's like comparing apples and oranges"
"I guess Anonymous is not the only one who doesn't distinguish between the horror genre and drama/tragedy.... but sorry, as much as I hate chap. 19 (and ranted about it) of Killing Stalking, there is nothing worst in our human reality than child suffering and that is a universal consensus."
Love, this manga and Killing Stalking are both worse. They fell in the same category, they're both a crime. There is no such thing as the "WORST" of all crime, because a crime in general is already the WORST of all worst. Don't get me wrong, I freaking LOVE Killing Stalking. I stalk it like I'm about to kill it xD, seriously though chpt 19, Sangwoo you fucker! Poor baby Bum, he really did it with that knife. For goodness sake, I was already a dork of a fan of it when it only has 2 chapters available in here and then suddenly it became hella famous. Which is great! Now people are talking about it.
By the way I am a bit confused o-o, you stated that I am being "a bit" irascible which is actually I admit true in a way. Then suddenly you said that I am upset? I said I'm annoyed, not upset love those are different. Sorry, I wasn't really going to say anything when I tried to joke about saying "I see you have Killing Stalking in your reading list,
bruh, that is way fucked up compared to this one! XD"
I even put XD <- to point out I was joking in a way, I wasn't actually expecting for you to get triggered telling me those things above, and to that I am sorry. I am actually still surprise that you are still here, basing on the thought you have no intention of reading this manga.
But I guess you're not mad about this kind of replies, hopefully. You should have expect it, you are expressing your freedom of speech under a manga that some people find promising. No matter how old you are, it is still in the human extinct to defend something they love. It doesn't make a person immature dear if they are making a valid point, I wasn't also actually going to say further more when I said my first comment buuttt...you continued on lecturing even though you already said you aren't going to read this. Imagine yourself in my shoe dear, of course I'd be checking this manga out constantly since I find its potential and then here goes that person who isn't even giving this manga a chance and kept on commenting and describing its dislike.
Wow, I understand your freedom of speech. But everything has a limit, comments like mine is already an expected result since you kept defending yourself under a manga that some people likes. I know you're not mad, this is expected to happen dear love:).
Don't worry I won't reply anymore after this, you can defend yourself all you want and no doubt I'll be seeing it since I am constantly checking this manga that "I like". I am even tired just by looking at how long my comment is, and I only type it for a short period. Whoa....
have a nice day ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
P.S:
You're awesome, don't think about this too much dear (▰˘◡˘▰)
I think you just got owned! *insert mordecai and ridbiy's OOO*
HHAHAHAHA SORRY, I read that long ass explanation the anon said and he/she pretty much has a point. I don't think he's upset lol, he's annoyed.
And it's natural for someone in a fandom to defend, it doesn't necessary mean they're EMOTIONALLY immediately upset lol. As he/she said you should have expected it, these kinds of replied when you talk about your freedom of speech of dislike to another fandom. You should really fully understand what he/she said before saying anything, I know it's GODDAM long but it's actually funny hahaha!
You just crossed a fucking lawyer! Hahahaha, this fight is hilarious.
Hello. Well maybe would be a tongue barrier but I dont get what of kyoran said as ofensive. He didnt say the story was bad or the topic was despictable or anything, did she/he? And the fandom? I suposse you mean people who like the manhua, I didnt read kyoran had said anything bad about them. I dont get anything, really. And well, to my perspective, anon seem very upset, if you like the manhua, fine you can recommend it and share why you like it, but there are manners, and there are people who will not try to read it even so, theres nothing bad about it. I apreciate when people advertise in comments if there are disturbing things and I sometimes thank that too. Well, have a nice day Im sweet annabis right now, haha
Thank you my fellow Fujoshis/Fudanshis for your candid and emphatic reviews which have saved me from reading this and subsequently walking with a dark cloud over my head for several days. I'm out! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
