Jinx Lovers…

Im not a jinx lover, but I understand their sentiment, they are waiting for that "character development" which was also used in BJ Alex. They are hoping to get a satisfying chasing arc.

Most really care about the rape, but the seme is handsome and hot, so chasing arc will be really satisfying.

Oh for me, its really rape, I'm not here to defend whether it is or not, but just like BJ Alex, when the seme realized his love, he became puppy like towards the uke. I think that is what most readers hope for.

Mygosshh Im sorry, why did I comment, Im not even a jinx lover, and it was my first time in a while reading the comment section in Jinx, so I didnt know there is a war.

I want to delete this because I am tired of wars. Lol

Just dont mind my opinion

Nah you’re good LOL

I do get holding out hope for the groveling/chasing arc though. For me personally it’s hard for me to root for them getting together at all even if Jaekyung becomes an angel on earth, but I’m interested in how that will play out/how the author will try to…pull that off in a believable fashion, given all that Jaekyung has done to Dan.

But other than that, I’m wondering what else people find entertaining about this!

Personally, i like Jinx because: i like the trope ennemie to lovers or grumpy & sunshine (here it's more like asshole / lovable XD). Because i love getting riled up about a character, having reactions, a vibrant story. Then with this story and this author, i always find it satisfying to see a character condescending, groveling. It counterbalances the forces on the other side, it's so satisfying (i confess ahah). There's also the idea of seeing characters, emotions and behaviors evolve. It's entertaining to read. The illustrations are wonderful too. (≧∀≦)

I see, thank you for answering! I generally like those tropes (enemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine) too, when they're done well. I personally don't see the enemies to lovers of Dan and Jaekyung's relationship—it feels a bit too one-sided to me—but I can see where you're coming from. I agree it can be nice to see a condescending character get knocked down a few pegs and to see how dynamics change and develop over time.

What about the art do you like?
I'm an artist, I love beautiful arts


What about the plot do you like?
I love the way the creator switches up the pov to tell the stories from certain characters or from outsiders to make it unfold as if you're also also part of the story. Good writing style.


Particular characters/characterization?
Hypermascusline characters that are almost true to the real world. The hyper fixation on outer appearances and the other normal characters like Kim Dan's body type who is slender without working out like the average Asian person.
•Superstition. Believe it or not, many successful people are superstitious (if they're not Christians) because that is the way of the world. As a pagan and an atheist, I can relate to this culturally and spiritually. It's dumb but it can also be real when your opponents can do black magic and suck lucifer's dicks. As an atheist, whenever I feel bothered, I only have to call my Christian friends to help me out and they'll pray for me. It works like a charm that you can buy from the temples. Charms from the temples are excessively expensive compared to the free prayers my Christian friends give. Pagans like me who have Christian friends understand that their God is a kind God who never fails to help even pagans like myself. As a pagan and an atheist, I'm very aware of my lifestyle that don't connect with my Christian friends. They pray for what is right and good. I pray for my enemies to die or fail. I've prayed for worse but these days, I've prayed for something better. Sending good vibes only. People think it's funny for pagans to have rituals. Well, that's the way I was raised. I don't plan on changing anytime soon. Even pagans like myself have high moral attributes. For one, I don't eat meat. I'm vegan. I can 100℅ confirm that I have strong morality since I was raised vegan (vegan baby) and I'm absolutely kinder than most people. My way of life is different than Christians but I can understand them from my own personal experience. Many people hate vegans as much as they hate Christians.
•Hot tempered men and very competitive sportsmanship
•Level headed, nurturing and caring men
•Opposites attract
•One sided love
•Age gap
•Highly attractive characters (for example like JaeKyung) who thinks he's naturally able to have anyone he desires (Most attractive people date other attractive people. They don't simply date anyone. They have to be the one to take the first step because most people think they're already taken. Meaning, JaeKyung is more assertive and decisive because he's in a different position).
•Kim Dan's desperate character. In this economy, nobody will blame Kim Dan for doing what's he's doing. Prostitution is one of the oldest jobs in the world. Is he a bad person for doing this? Well, can you blame him? He's doing what he can to protect someone important. Sometimes, people do crazy things to survive. He's in a serious survival mode. I love his character even though he's very weak and indecisive (he can't think of better ways to earn more money). I also love his loyalty to his granny. I respect that. That is a deep love that anyone can relate to if they have family.



Character design?
Beautiful designs.
•As the Japanese say, BL male characters are bishounen and they look similar to Asian features, thry have that youthful looks.
•Good body ref diversity. Granny looks real like a granny. Coaches look good and authoritative. Athletes look like athletes. Kim Dan looks like a Kim Dan.



Story arcs/plotlines?
• I love the modern urban setting and the unpredictable sports atmosphere.
• When Kim Dan's in trouble and dealing with his darkest moments, JaeKyung is always there for him. After seeing Kim Dan's struggle, he gradually warms up to him although he is still overbearing and selfish.



Particular story elements/tropes?
•High adrenaline men's sports
•Sports
•Slice of Life
•Work Life (clear roles and hierarchy)
•Adult/mature themes
•Hot tempered men and very competitive sportsmanship
•Level headed, nurturing and caring men
•The pagan way of dealing with life's hardships. Anal sex in satanism is not a new occurrence. It's happened for so long. That's how the rituals can power up the vessels from fucking the conduit and gain strength. Pagan way of life is evil in Christians' eyes because they follow the Bible and have seen things when the venture into the dark places of the world who take from the weak and initiate victims by satanic sexual abuse rituals. Not very gruesome like in our reality. This is the innocent version of satanism. Conditioning victims to accept the abuse and make them want it themselves. It is a good story regardless. Well written. It'd be more interesting if the creator delve into the spiritual part of the jinx to make it more amusing to read too bad she's not up for it (she needs to do a lot of research).


The writing overall?
Too early to decide and judge. I still enjoyed reading the webtoon.
