im a hardcore BL fan and even I think that this isnt THAT serious of a case of plagiarism. Sure, one could say the similarities in that one scene are uncanny BUT like it’s just that one scene in general? I’ve seen the same trope played out so many times in both BL, GL, heck other straight stories of similar premises. Bottom line is: all smut manhwas are similar to each other in some sense. It was not as though the author had taken the same characters and printed them in another font. There are so many other different elements that separates CLC from the other BL work like do you rlly see that suspicious bitch sunbae in the other story?? No!!
Plagiarism is too strong of a word applicable to this case of just one scene and covers happening to resemble each other. Again, I’m a casual reader and I don’t have much time to correctly read through everything but just based off the Twitter thread alone,,,doesn’t rlly look like substantial evidence just being honest
ok yall I DID read this manhwa and the other BL manhwa in question (bless that BL. chef’s kiss for everything made by that author) but my one cent here is that….. I can definitely see where people r coming from. looking at the twitter thread, u can see me raising the rock eyebrow but like??? sm other manhwas do the same thing, essentially recycling the trope over and over again. I’ve probably see that scene ran through and rebranded multiple times in different smut manhwas (NOT TO DEFEND THIS). I just don’t get why CLC’s author would get a maniacal freak out and threaten to sue when this matter could’ve been settled in SO MANY other ways like GIRL take a class on PR and learn how to control urself
