im crying did u just call him bot?? also ur so right im sick of ppl here being like "dohu is such a dumb character cant he read the room" like be so frr
Bot doesn’t need therapy, lol the fuq? He’s neurodivergent to a tenth degree, most likely autistic with how he hyper focuses, is over analytical, struggles with social interactions, doesn’t grasp emotions or emotional responses to his logical blunts behaviors, etc while yes, bot needs to chase. Top also needs to understand he’s in love with a neurospicyness individual
I think u misunderstood me in the part that he needs therapy..... I didn't mean it in a bad way like those black flags ml. I mean it in a way to help him understand more his emotion and thought process. Getting therapy is not a bad thing because this could teach people to "adapt" to their surroundings to create a more secure environment and develop a sense of belonging.
As what u have said, he's most likely a neurodivergent, that's why I'm saying he needs "therapy" because it might help him understand himself and express his emotions more in a positive manner.
Well, I do agree with your point that the top also needs to understand and adjust to the situation of the bot. However, I also want that they both need to give and take in this relationship. Not just because the bot has underlying issues, the top has to adjust and accept. Let's remember that he had experienced abuse, and until the last chapter, he was still experiencing it. The top isn't in a position to accept everything because he also needs healing time.
If you've read the Opposite Attracts/Rivalry, you will see that the bot in here and the top there shared some same traits when it comes to understanding emotions. That story also shows how frustrating to be in a relationship with a person who can't understand your emotions and doesn't know how to express himself.
That's why I suggested that the bot needs "therapy" and the top needs "healing" time. In the relationship, you have to give and take. Both of them need to adjust, learn each other's pain, and continue to explore each other's dynamics to understand each other. In short, balance.
I'm just really hoping that the author doesn't rush this. I need them to explore the dynamics of the bot and top because they're such a cute couple. This could be realistic, too, if the development is done right.
I think some ppl here forgot that the bot (srry, I'm bad at remembering names) has some psychological issues, particularly in recognizing emotions. It's not just some "can't get a clue" moments, but it's a really serious issue. Like what we've seen in the last chapters that he doesn't seem to feel or recognize what the top was trying to say. He doesn't even think at first that what he has done is bad. And he can't even ponder his emotions well.
However, this is not an excuse rlly since the top got hurt plus the abuse he's facing with his family. The top really needs a healing time and a proper apology. He deserves the best rlly. Really need a chasing arc. Come on, bot, get ur man back.
That's why I'm hoping that the author does not just let the story end with just them being together again and living like some Cinderella sht. I want the author to explore the complexity of human emotions. I want the author to address the bot's emotional and thought processes because he really needs therapy. I want to see the progress of the bot when it comes to dealing with and recognizing people's actions. Y'know the bl manhwa Rivalry/Opposite Attracts? The top there was also having a hard time recognizing feelings, and I really like how the story gradually shows what is the reality of those with kind of symptoms. They really showed the complexity of it and gave a perfect flow on how they deal with it.
I also want to see the top resolving his issue with his fucked up fam. Him getting away from his aunt and grandfather's reach. When the old guy gonna die, anyway? And, of course, I want to see the bot and top be proud, happy, and gay as fck. Want to see them grow together and fck each other 24/7 w/o protection, in diff positions, with fountain scenes, begging for more, and live happily and as gay as possible ever.
