Preachhhh
You can be all of that without being a pushover? This bl is one of the most disappointing manhwa in 2024 lol.
Sorry if it's top much to ask from authors to not demonize people that want consentual sex while also doing bdsm play. Like I can count on my hand the amount of good bdsm representation in manga/manhwa, exactly because authors think bdsm=abuse when they actually jsut want to write abusive relationships. Then don't include bdsm in it, if you just want abuse
I wouldn't say this is the top 5 disappointing ones, hell have you seen the other ones? Lol
The author's depiction of BDSM toxicity in this story is actually a realistic view because IRL, BDSM isn't always mild, child's play. A good number of BDSM relationships is hardcore and toxic. i know a friend who had to exercise restraining order on a BDSM partner because it got so extreme they started to fear for their life. And this is even considering that they used to enjoy the sessions until they didn't anymore. So, I quite like the realiasm in this story because I know a lot of people in BDSM are there because they need an outlet for their "real self".
I'm or we're not trying to argue how intense, weird their play is. It's realistic to say that both of them are into it. So, like scenes such as the near exhibition stuff are not my problem.
It's just so disappointing and icky to see how the MC, who has shown importance and emphasis about boundaries and being in the mood, suddenly be a damn pushover to the main lead. The potential of the mc is disappearing at this point.
I can't understand why people reading BDSM are complaining about toxicity. While BDSM can be relative "friendly" and "mild", it does attract violent individuals, narcissicts, and other sketchy characters allowing them to live out their fantansies. In this story, both the ML nor MC perfectly match the typical toxic personality drawn to BDSM. That's why it's weird that readers were hailing the ML as "green flag" at the start of the series. Clearly shows that readers are so desperate for green flag MLs that they'll declare anything remotely resembling it as such.
