This webtoon is like a breath of fresh air

Wow. This is the first yaoi story I've read ever (or at least in a very, very long time) that doesn't contain some form of rape, blackmail, other sexual coercion, unresolved misunderstandings, or random love triangles (not 100% sure about Sunjin's friend yet, but seems likely so far that he isn't in love with Sunjin).

Other typical yaoi characteristics this manhwa laughs in the face of: 1. All female characters are jealous bitches hell-bent on tearing apart the MC's relationship. 2. Everyone is in love with the MC for no apparent reason. 3. Condoms do not exist. Preparation does not exist. Hygiene can go fuck itself. 4. The seme must be taller and manlier than the uke, or else the sky will collapse and everyone will become impotent. 5. Communication between characters is equivalent to trying to find signal in a dead zone. Nonexistent.

So yeah. This story is like the anti-yaoi of all stereotypical yaoi tropes. Now, I have nothing against the "typical" yaoi story, and this is different from what I usually read/enjoy. But the realism in this story is really refreshing. So if you're looking for something nonconventional or just looking for a good read, this one is definitely worth a shot!

    And the title! It's funny cuz compare to some (many) other yaois it's not ALL ABOUT LUST

    yuuup!
    it's a miracle. As much as I love the toxic stuff sometimes (if the author knows and is purposefully writing it. I can tell), I also love the stuff that soothe my soul. This feels so nice to read.

    It's pretty nice tbh. Very refreshing.

    honestly so good - it's also kinda teaching all of us what a good, healthy relationship looks like and that communication between two people is key <3

    not really true. I just finish two manga's with one or more of those elements. and they actually were a nice manga very recently and the girls there were very supportive. so yeas...it a little bit inclusion to me. not that I didn't read very very bad one's too...but you know, tags and stuff.
