I 100% agree. Even in other BLs where a majority of their interactions are sexual, I can usually imagine them as domestic partners that can genuinely care for each other outside of sex, but in Jinx’s case I can’t see it at all. The power dynamic is too great and Jaekyung seems far removed from his mental and emotional capacity to treat others as equals, much less affectionately.
Also, unpopular opinion but I don’t think they even have much sexual chemistry their sex scenes are difficult to enjoy
Yknow any of this would have been more impactful weren't all the "happy" scenes mostly sex scenes.
You can build romance with a relationship that starts out as purely sexual but Jinx ain't it I just do not buy their chemistry at all. Odd comparision but it feels like those harem anime where the girls are into the mc because he was nice to them once. There is just nothing else to it, it tries to convince that they both have potentially good chemistry and them falling in love with each other is so believable when it really isn't?
Just think about it for a second, can you recall any scenes of proper chemistry where they are geniunly enjoyable to read that didn't include smut? And Jinx isn't exclusive to this ofc but it is huge within the BL community rn and I think a conversation should be opened about this.
