Come on now, my point is that he was presented to us like a mafia boss with tremendous power for a whole season. Then we get to learn the truth and we discover he's a special force secret agent working with top US organization, still with crazy power. Latest chapter, he gets scolded like a brat by his boss and he's removed from his job like an average employee. His powerful image/reputatipn took a toll to say the least. There's no consistency in his character. Just like Shin, the readers are left with a new version of Jake. A powerless, almost submissive agent that significantly contrasts with the former versions we had of him. I liked the former version better, as unrealistic as it was
But isn’t that the fun part? If he were to not have anyone tell him what to do he could’ve just locked shin somewhere up and the story would end within 5 chapters. Shutline is one of the best (if not currently the best imo) written bl story, no one can really say what will happen in the following chapters and the plot is just chefs kiss. If it wouldn’t be like it currently is, this story would be no different than any other toxic bl story
I hate that Jake has a boss. He has the charisma of a main character. He shouldn't take orders from anyone. The fact he's restricted in his decisions by his job and his hierarchy drives me crazy. He should just do whatever he wants for god's sake
