I totally understand your point! I also dropped it a long time ago but since I knew it was coming to the end I wanted to give it a second chance. I had to skip a bunch of chapters bc the scenes make me really uncomfortable!! I understand the plot had this sort of dark themes but I think when authors overdo it just shows they kinda hate their characters lol
I do think Dooshik is probably one of the hottest tops in all BL and he's just as loyal as a dog, but everytime I see Jooha all I think about is how much of a horrible life he lived
I don't think any amount of smut or cutesy couple scene can make up for the amount of trauma and the story showed
Good call. They absolutely ruin Dooshik’s character in the 3rd season and it has the most brutal unnecessary gang rapes I’ve ever seen in a manga. It’s trauma porn at its worst and honestly isn’t worth reading
I’ve also dropped it for the same reasons. I also can’t stand Dosshik. He went from coconut-headed himbo to just a plain ass douche. And to have 19+ more side chapters of that plain ass douche? Forget it
he was never a douche so idek where you got that from. he was really only a dick towards the twins and pilwom
Would it make more sense to you if I said that he’s icky? Douche can be a French shower or a genital cleaning device, but icky just means icky.
it would make more sense that way because douche means asshole and not just "icky". i still dont see where you're coming from because from the beginning, he was pretty moralistic as one could be in his circumstances.
Totally respect your opinion and just want to say if you ever slightly want to revist it, I highly recommend it! Haha
I totally get where you'd get annoyed cause it does seem that way in the beginning but I think the author does a really good job developing Jooha's character beyond that (though I guess the author adds one more kinda repetitive arc -ish in the side story ). Imo I think Jooha has a very realistic and resilient character (maybe cause I can relate to the way he thinks) so his initial instinct to leave dooshik to protect him from the shit that is following him makes sense considering it's some SERIOUS shit (and imo realistically represents the fragility of any relationship) but the author addresses this directly in Joohas character development in a very realistic way and it really just adds to their relationship as a whole I think.
The story itself can be pretty dark but I actually think the author wrote believable characters (even the side characters) with depth and really portrays the growth of their relationship and themselves in a beautiful and realistic way. Also, some of the lines they say in really key moments are just so beautifully written.
Anyways, I just wanted to share my opinion (if you care to know it lol) in case you ever want to reconsider cause I think this story is really worth reading
totally agree bruh, make sense
I dropped it years ago. But today I decided to read it again. And I'm gonna drop it again lol. On a serious note, it is just too much for me (kinda surprising for me also, cuz I'm someone who keeps asking for more smut). I kept my patience as much as I could to see whether the story gonna progress. But it is the same. MC keeps getting raped, ML saves MC again and again and they will have quality time. And then the cycle repeats once again. The story is going nowhere. And I'm tired. Idk whether it will improve or not, but right now I don't even care. So, I think I will drop it this time for good.
Ps: I know that people will not gonna agree with me and if you love it then great. It's just that it didn't work for me.
