Second season will be longer than the first one according to her interview. Well jinx is jinx, that's the thing that makes this story kind of different than all the mainstream yaoi, it's this SPECIFIC fact that it not about romance at all, YET. I think it underlines a lot of other stuff, that's why I personally can't see how this will turn into a convincing love story, but again it's a yaoi and we need Jk and Dan to love each other at the end so... Let's see how it goes. (I think it's the toxicity of the plot that is keeping me so hanged to the suspense, I too am super curious to see how the author is gonna fix that shit lol)
╥﹏╥
It's interesting that people see this manhwa differently. I do see romantic moments and chemistry between Jaekyung and Dan throughout Season 1, and I know some other readers do as well. I'm not wondering how the author will "make it work" because it makes sense to me that it will. Readers will see what they want to see, and will understand it or not.
@ktdkzone , @high_priestess y guys said everything I want to say.
How the author is gonna fix that shit ?
There are no romantic moments and chemistry between Jaekyung and Dan. The sex is horrible, everything is cold. At least that's how I see it, everyone sees it differently and it's okay.
Yes, it is okay :)
ok just bear with it till they do some romantic things that will satisfy ur heart :(
Yup, and hope there are at least 150 chaps or sumn(I believe we need those many chaps atp lol).
Exactly lol like it's pretty impossible to imagine jjk doing all the romantic shit ngl but that's where the author plays the role. If she is able to convince us through her writing that yes jjk can do this too then that would be so impressive ngl. With that being said I'm trusting mingwa and diving in.
Haha impressive is definitely the word !
For me personally I don't know if I can trust Mingwa fully, she doesn't seem to take this toxicity for what is really is. She said in an Q&A that she enjoyed making all the sex scenes (bruh), and the way she likes to portray Kim Dan as being a cute little hamster is pretty weird to me, he's far from that the same way we're far from a classic dominant daddy/ cute baby boy relationship. Dani has so much resistance towards hardships in life, he's a real decent person with amazing qualities at work + loads of patience and tact. And at the end all this is just presented like hamster vs wolf relationship. It's like Mingwa doesn't even know the lines between what's '' an okay toxicity, a little possessive but it's okay'', and what is totally immoral like abuse and rape. That's why I don't know if I can trust her but that only adds to the suspense for me
I would like to make it clear that this is not a hate post on jinx or Mingwa lol I literally be defending jjk and jinx here all the time. But, yup, as a reader I'm definitely curious, so that's why I made this post.
It's good if you see the romance and chemistry between Kyungdan.... however I'm sorry there is absolutely nothing I could say 'oh so romantic' or sumn as we got zero jjk's pov. Also mind you even after 50 chaps Jaekyung doesn't like Dan yet. Yup, that's correct! He maybe attracted towards him, but he doesn't love him or like him like that. So, it's not crazy for peeps think how is this even gonna work. Well, yes, since it's a BL we are definitely gonna get the eventual romance and all the stuff... however it would be really interesting for me to see how would Mingwa make it work.
I believe I have to disagree with you here. I don't think Mingwa doesn't know what toxicity is as she has clearly said that she loves the whole toxic top buildup who grovels and changes for better. Also the tags of the manhwa already gives us a fair warning of exactly what we are getting ourselves into that includes dubcon, toxic top, submissive bottom etc so I don't really understand why people still complain about it. Regarding the question of what is immoral well this is fiction and both jjk and dan are not real so as long as peeps know what's fiction and what's reality there shouldn't be any issues.
What you said basically applies for all the 90% of BLs out there lmao. Potn, low tide in Twilight, R&C etc all the tops have raped their bottoms but they all got redemption and very much loved by peeps today. The same way Jjk is gonna get his redemption too.Over that jinx is still ongoing and still has a very long way to go. Also Dan can be cute little hamster and still can be a person who is strong with amazing qualities....I don't see anything bad there lol.
oh god when I saw u typing these tow beautiful titles.... .
what is R&C??? if u write it with full name i'd recognize it.
I didn't take your comment to be a hate post :) I knew what you were saying, and that's why I thought it was interesting that we all have different perspectives when reading the same story. For example, you don't think Jaekyung likes Dan yet, but I think he's in love with Dan, maybe even before Dan fell in love with him. It's just that he can't recognize those feelings right now and is emotionally guarded.
Although you don't see chemistry or love, you still like the story. Some readers who have the same perspective as you might hate the story. I guess this shows that it's not really the author but the reader who makes their own reading experience, and that an author might not be able to make it work for everybody.
oh wow!!!I'm really impressed by ur words and how u read this beautiful manhwa, i don't know what to say to u but there is one thing.... u have to read more titles cuz u read properly unlike some ppl who only read by their kinky ass and spit some shit after they read something literally .
. Oh it's Roses and Champagne.
That's why I liked your post. You said everything I wanted to say, but I don't know how to express myself properly in English. I'm not hating either. We're just at the beginning of the plot! and of course, we all know that the ending will be romantic between the two. I'm anxious to see that happen, but so far it's been nothing but difficulties. It's impressive that in 50 chapters the author built such implicit suspense, everyone is anxious for the chs!
Your pov on jinx is interesting and it's true every reader has a different perspective on how they perceive the characters and the story as a whole. I guess that's what makes it special.
Regarding the author making it work I do agree with you to some extent as you can't satisfy and please everyone and I'm sure there will be many peeps who would hate Jaekyung even after he gets his redemption. However what I meant is how a 'good writing' can change one's perspective of a character or in this case jjk and dan's relationship. I'm a big sucker for morally grey characters who go through the character development and to me it mainly depends on how well the author executes it which is also equally important. And yes that's exactly what I meant when I made that post.
Yeah sure I don't disagree with you completely, in fact I feel like your point deviates from mine but maybe I didn't express myself well. And other BLs having dubcon isn't fine either lol but there's a degree to it.
I too know what I'm doing by reading this manhwa as I'm STILL reading it. Otherwise I would have left. I'm just questioning Mingwa's choices in her writing and I never said it was plain bad story at all, in fact it's the only manhwa I care about and I know it's still ongoing, that was never the point :)
As for the fictional part about rape, I think there's a huge misunderstanding about what is there to create the building elements of a fictional story and what feeds the idea of '' romance '' (at any stage that is). You should watch the video of Laby on YouTube about Jinx if you haven't already, she made a clear analysis about it.
Anyway, i'm not planning to debate about this topic any longer especially if things are getting mixed up (like it tends to happen very often on this website with this manhwa specifically), it's clear we're all having different opinions on the matter, all I care about is the progress of this story that I can't wait to seeeee
ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
oh yes right!!!!!!!! caecar is famous for his toxic attitude and I love how he make me laugh literally LOL
I agree that Mingwa's writing this season could influence some of the readers' perspectives. Actually, it probably won't be hard for her to convince many people to like Jaekyung and his relationship with Dan, whether the writing is good or not.
I also agree that character development is important for toxic red flags like Jaekyung, and if it's done satisfactorily it may change a reader's pov. But I still think that some readers (this is not directed at you) rely too much on the author to pretty much spell and/or draw it out for them, putting ALL of the responsibility on the author to change their minds about something they loathe. An author is responsible for their creation and for the message they are trying to convey. Readers also have to take responsibility for their own interpretations, even if that requires some work (e.g. thoroughly reading and keeping an open mind to understand the content). So, for those readers who hate the story and Jaekyung with a passion, I don't think it's fair for them to expect Mingwa to work miracles to change their minds.
I genuinely wanna see how Mingwa gonna make the main couple work out lol that's one of my main curiosities ngl. 50 chapters and we don't have a single romantic moment or chemistry of that sort....so I'm sitting here and wondering how is she going to make it work. It also solidifies that jinx is definitely gonna have more than 100 chapters.
