Speak louder my beautiful queen (or king(?))
I think a lot of BL readers are really young and just don’t read BL for story? Like…they don’t read at all they just skim. And scroll through looking at the pictures and read like every 5 words. I mean you should know fujos do not care about good story and character development when almost every work on the top BL page is really shit actually. I say this as a Fujo myself. The eating system on mgg doesn’t even work because stories with tons of sex get the highest eating while plot focused stories or stories with nuance get lower ratings as the nuance is ignored or taken at face value. Just smth I’ve noticed and yeah I am generalising.
Rating system*
I agree with you!
Also it doesn't help that the average age of the readers here is like 13 and they don't care about the story, only the smut and art..
Like for example there were many comments that they are tired of the Jin Jian couple and want to see Jitae only because he looks good..
100000% agree
SPEAK THE TRUTH!!! ヾ(☆▽☆)ヾ(☆▽☆)ヾ(☆▽☆)
Tbf for me, I don't necessarily hate Jian, it's the dynamic between him and Jin that I hate because it's the same old toxic relationship of the top that just wants to own and break the bottom who's already sinking down. It's not even exciting, it's more regretful and sad. In which case, this most likely won't even make Jian get better but rather be worse.
First of all, nothing is set in stone yet. Jin is still worried about Jian’s health because it’s obvious that Jin doesn’t want Jian to die. Jin keeps scolding and reminding Jian, but it’s not working, as Jian is already too deep into his addiction. So, what do you expect Jin to do? Tie Jian up and lock him away? That’s not feasible because Jian is still deeply attached to the Baek family and is under the control of his mother and Hajoon. Jin can only stay by Jian’s side to watch over him. It’s not that Jin wants Jian to destroy himself—it’s just that Jin can’t directly intervene. The tangled issues involving the Baek family are too complicated. Unless Jin kidnaps Jian and takes him away, but if he does that, Jian will end up hating him.
Is being with Jin good or bad for Jian? Jin wants to fix Jian, not break him and turn him into a doll to keep by his side. Jin wants Jian to go back to being the Jian he once loved and cherished.
As for Ji-tae’s remarks, that’s just the perspective of an outsider. Ji-tae doesn’t really understand what’s going on between Jian and Jin or why Jin wants Ji-tae to personally destroy Jian. Jin was angry and told Ji-tae he didn’t understand anything. Part of it is toxic, as you mentioned—Jin is jealous of Ji-tae. But the bigger part is that Jian doesn’t dare leave because he’s worried about Ji-tae. Now that it’s been revealed they’re not actually brothers, maybe Jian will think differently—or maybe he won’t.
I’m not trying to say Jin is a good person or anything. His methods are extreme, but the truth is, he just wants to pull Jian out of that situation. Is it toxic? Two people who’ve been crushed and broken to the core can only rely on each other—it’s hard for that to be healthy. Even Ji-tae is starting to show signs of controlling Mi-eum.
This is just my perspective. You’re free to think differently, but to me, Jin and Jian still have the potential to be a healing couple for each other. That’s all.
Reading all these comments about Jian made me realize just how little empathy and tolerance general mangago readers have. Haven't you noticed how the panel right after he just gets the revelation that he's a bastard child is of him having sex, it clearly means to show that he's using these drugs to numb the pain he's been going through since he was a child and the drugs has an aphrodisiac effect so hence all the fucking. Even Jin in the previous chapters just said "don't take your anger out on me" when Jian offered him sex.
Looking at the comments under this manhwa has been made me lose a little faith in people ngl, they care for gay rights so I thought they would also care for people who turns to these vices in desperation, cause it isn't even like Jian is hurting anyone when he's feeling the effects of it. Even after seeing how he's been abused his whole life and most of the comments only having two words in them being druggie and whore but nothing else deeper into his character is something else. He's so self destructive and uncaring about his own life that he doesn't even bother to ask Hajoon what he's giving him.
And it's not even like characters like Jian are even common in BLs, the only other manhwa I've seen is Another Lie. Idk why people want every bottoms to be squeaky clean when Mieum exists right here too. I always appreciate when authors tackles on difficult themes even when they might get hate for it.
I don't care if people hate him but I hate how people are acting he's doing these things as if it's his hobby and he's something evil because of it. There are no shortage of people like Jian irl who instead of our scorn just needs a little help, cause they've lived a sad life and are just spiraling deeper and deeper into these messes and to their own death.
Beautiful Boy, Trainspotting, Requiem for a dream, Leaving Las Vegas are some good movies about addiction.
