I mean it is difficult to stand up for yourself when your whole life is in someone else's life, plus it is because of the mc's trauma he cannot stand up for himself
I meant hands, some one else's hands lol
Almost every yaoi protagonist has some sort of trauma, but that's the trace of a protagonist, they don't cower like a wimp just because things are difficult.
For someone who went through the trouble of pretending to like men to survive, MC is giving up way too quickly.
I get what you mean lol. I just think sometimes people's mental state can be weak cause of trauma plus it is bl lol you cannot exactly compare characters but I do understand what you mean.
Every story is open to comparisons, BL is no exception. In fact, especially when you have such a saturated market, you gotta capture the public.
While people's mental states can be weak because of trauma, and I understand trauma plot to an extent, it reaches a point where either the character grows a spine, or he'll become "Mr. Wasted Potential".
These are characters in an author's story, they have every freedom to choose the route they take.
Yeah I get it. But that was just my opinion. Also I am pretty sure (or at least I hope) that the "flip the script" part will happen soon cause the mc technically does not really need the ml anymore and I hope that does happen soon.
At this point everyone here is just being dumb. MC needs to grow a spine and speak up for himself against his whole family, Hyung needs to get his comeuppance, Grandfather needs to back tf off, and ML needs to be knocked down a peg or two bc he's not the only one doing a favor to MC. This is a mutually beneficial contract, and now more to ML than to MC, so stop treating him like trash.
