Yaoi has a bad portrayal of BDSM which is *usually* very consensual on both sides. The top def is manipulative and a piece of shit and ml is a really big pushover
You mean mc. ML means male lead Aka the love interest, usually the top if the mc is the bottom. Anyways, sure you can say the top is a piece of shit, but the mc/bottom and 2nd lead are also pieces of shit. No one in this story is innocent. The ML may be the openly honest asshole, but mc and the 2nd lead are the type to act like victims and pin all the blame on others. They don’t take any accountability whatsoever. Mc and 2nd lead literally have an affair and have sex THREE times before the mc is bothered to actually even have a proper conversation or break up with the ml.
Also to add on, I don’t like anyone in this story but I hate mc and 2nd lead the most. At the very least the black haired top realizes what he did wrong. Mc and 2nd lead never address the cheating and DONT feel bad AT ALL. They treat it like some light hearted joke and move on with their lives happily. I’d say the ml’s shit personality was formed by being betrayed by people like the mc and 2nd lead. The mc and 2nd are the ones that don’t acknowledge or realize the shut they did wrong. Ignorant ppl are worse.
Sorry I meant ml by main lead oops but yeah I meant jiwoon
Considering being in abusive relationship is a lot more complicated for me to explain without a extensive analysis. So I'm gonna defend jiwoon for being a victim of Sejin since Sejin obviously is one manipulating, guilt tripping (when jiwoon's hesitant or against something) and pushing Jiwoon.
I haven't gotten up to the part where jiwoon and 2nd ml cheat which ofc be completely on jiwoon. So I can't support him there so yeah, he should take accountability for cheating however, I don't think Jiwoon should be accountable for being abused by Sejin
I'm just loving how the comments confirm that the mc cheats. It feels good. The top deserves it lol he's a fake dom that plays the victim when confronted and uses manipulation tactics to get what he wants. The mc is dumb, but he cheated so we won. The first good decision he made!!!
That’s a very weird take lmfao. They’re both pieces of shit
Honestly even when I started reading, I was like " is bdsm such a big issue " see I am not into bdsm but have always felt like it's just someone's preference and there is nothing wrong with it ...you see that's where compatibility comes ...it should be there in every way .. mental as well as physical ...I seriously don't know what's wrong with the black haired guys preference ...the uke isn't into it , he doesn't either wanna leave him, may be he is trying to accommodate his partners interest , being confused and all ...thats all fine until
He goes cheating ..bro cheating is never an option, while you are in a relationship..if you can cheat then you need to have the basic guts to communicate and have a clean breakup ...I don't like either the mc nor the second lead ..the way the ml is portrayed I can't like him either but still I don't hate him ╮(￣▽￣)╭
