My problem with this story is that the characters are too one-dimensional, and the plot is quite predictable. For example, Jiwon was a much better-developed character, and in BJ Alex, there was at least an element of comedy—the characters were cheekier, and even the second couple was much more interesting and exciting. I actually don’t mind toxic stories as long as the characters are mentally stimulating, sexy, and have some edge.It’s not enoug for a character to just be toxic in the stupidest way and then have a redemption arc… Her writing has declined so much, while the art became immaculate. It’s a shame—this story had the potential to be much better with this plot.

    i'm not here to argue so i hope it doesn't come off that way but this is interesting because i'm the opposite- to me this is lowkey an improvement over bj alex. maybe it's my memory failing me but i found jiwon so whatever and i'm not the biggest fan of this story or jaekyung either but i find him at least more consistent and it's fun to try to figure out what the fuck is wrong with him. and i guess DG had more of a spine / felt more believable of a guy than dan who's super selfless but then again dan had his own unique goals no matter how generic while dg had too little else going on (again, iirc). very much agreed about the superior second couple though. this jinx one felt a bit too pair-the spares-y even though i like potato and pretty tops on paper

    I still like Jinx, like i will read it obv, but it doesn’t intrigue me, and the sex scenes are not sensual more like fwop fwop.And Bj Alex is def not the best i read, idk i’m just a sucker for more psychological plots if its toxic.Buuut i’m also a sucker for Mingwa’s art haha

    Pretty sure this is meant to be very cliche, most ppl wouldn’t read this if it weren’t for the outstanding art
