The thing about people nowwwwww is that they’ll forgive the rape if the characters are hot enough, but once they see That others don’t mind the rape they turn vile (a lot of us have been reading from a young age and yes unfortunately got used to ignoring i/ in a way forgiving it)
Don’t mind the negative comments on the other manga (I’ve read itbut I forgot what it’s about honestly!)
People will literally come at you for anything these days and yet you’ll notice the same people complaining about the rape/toxicity of a lot of bls are keeping up with the reading bc they find it interesting as well!
The hypocrisy is real!! People like to believe they’re better than others but in the end they end up being worse!
I hate how stupid the comments are now :/
-this is not me saying rape is okay/ supporting it! Unfortunately a lot of mangaka have this stupid idea that a story can’t be good withou it? And it sucks it really does but I’m not gonna sit here and act like the rest of the story was ass when I clearly enjoyed the storyline (no matter how “basic and cliche” it is) and read through The Whole thing
Thank you! I was nervous about my comment bc sometimes people get defensive over the stories they like. However I agree with you 100%. I’ve read so many good yaoi mangas and manhwas without r*pe. And sometimes you can even see how the whole SA plot is unnecessary to add to the story, yet for some reason these authors keep putting it in.
And sorry to get off topic but I’ve made plenty of
comments about the topic of r*pe in media in general. It’s unnecessary 99% of the time, and I’m being generous bc even that 1% doesn’t need to be SHOWN. It’s really unfortunate and I hope these mangas and manhwas will continue to evolve for the better.
Thank you for responding kindly to my comment
No yeah dw about it :)
Honestly for a lot of mangas I’ve read w/o rape a lot of comments are always like “this was so boring/ this is so basic I could make something like this!) which is crazy bc usually they’re very sweet/ funny- yes a little cringe- but overall good stories!
Everyone will get defensive over things they like so don’t take it personally when they do! (I get a little defensive with some of my manga too
Heavy agree, the side couples saved this story for me for sure, because the main couple’s love wasn’t very romantic lmao
I came to check out this story after reading “If you Hate Me So”, the other story by this author. Because even though I don’t think the story was bad, the ratings were low and the comments were so critical of it. At the end of that manwha, one of the couples (Hye-sun and Dojin) don’t really get a happy end. But then I saw comments praising this manhwa, and that this story was where the characters have a happy ending, so I decided to give it a try.
The ratings and the praise for this manhwa is very high, so I was really looking forward to it. Especially bc soo many people hated “If You Hate Me So” and I rather liked it. So I was slightly disappointed. The main reason for hate in “If you Hate Me So”, at least as far as I know, was due to the rape of the uke in the beginning. That was something I hated too, but I also hate to say that it wasn’t that surprising to me since it is normal in yaoi manga. That definitely doesn’t make it okay, but if you’ve been reading it for a while, as I have, it’s just not that shocking. (They really should stop making stories with that though.)
SO imagine my surprise when the same thing happens here?? I thought: “there is no way that all the people complaining and hating on the other story because of the rape, are loving this??” But I was so curious bc let alone those comments, this manwha has been popular and viral for a long time, I just never got around to reading it. So I thought I just had to finish it. Because there must be something redeeming about this story. The love must be so epic that it’s making everyone not upset about the start of their relationship.
This story was not my cup of tea to put it nicely. Till the end I found not one thing nice about their love story. EXCEPT for the baby (SO CUTE!) Everything about their love felt one sided and forced on the uke, he did get slightly better at the end but was still so mean? I mean I guess valid considering how their relationship started, but then just don’t be that person at all?? Idk I just like to feel the love in a LOVE STORY?? This is no hate to anyone. The author did an amazing job and everyone has their preferences. Which is why I must say, I loved “If you Hate Me So” way more.
