You know I am exactly the same. Lately I dont care about this story but I only read the comments and try to figure out Why people ship this two character. And I hope people some people elaborate why they do?
Same here. I just read the first chapters and few of the latest (62-63...) and don't have the courage to read the rest lol. Not because of all the drama but because this manhwa is all about sex, with little rape anddrop of tears to excuse all this sorry "plot".
I think writer didn't do good job and use old tactics for his/her story
and so many creators use this kinda plot because ıts got attention and more views.
Its hard to find people who use this plot with sane mind. Most of them use rape and They dont know what will be next
I study with rape victims and They do have different cope ability but I never saw one person who got raped by different people have this mentality
Maybe people underestimate Rape because Uke too underestimate and live with it.I really wish writers do research on this topic and dont use at plot device
I think that many of the readers here are young teens and it's rather their hormones that speak more than their brain. Btw, for many, Yaoi is just porn and if they can get their daily dose of lemons, they don't give a further f*ck. This is as far as those can go here, infortunately... For them, if there two characters banging each other in the most meaningless way; a souless doll being raped over and over - again, in the most meaningless manner , it's "Omg the most touching plot they've read!", "Omg, the "Seme" is so possessive! Lol!
Did our fujoshis ever seen ONCE the said Seme being loving and tender, protective, good to the Uke ? Or was he acting rather just like Mr Assshole who just sold the Uke to his thugs of friends to be raped? And Please don't sell me the relationship this Uke have with Dong Hyuk when all they did was sex.
That's why people outside of Yaoi view the Yaoi genre as degenerative, and Fujoshis are being looked down upon. Discriminations against BL/Yaoi die hard because one of the traits of that genre is the lack of good, quality scenario.
Didn't you ever read something like, when a Boys Love romance is well written and complexe, everybody even the fujoshis would say "It doesn't look like a Yaoi!" (Re lol). Guess why ? Maybe because Author-San actually given to that romance a real plot, background and purposes with some great elements that everyone of us can treasure like friendshif, (real) love. And nope an all-rapey easy story, like if it was written by a teen on her hormones.
I have no problem specifically with rapey stuffs, but only if they serve some purposes and if the whole story can walk together. And it's not the case with this manwha here.
I believe that the fictions we nourrish our intellect and the way we react to them reflects also our mind.
Exemple : Porn is generally degrading for the actresses and physically challenging. But because the actors are grown adults and get paid for that, should I just close my eyes and ignore this industry?
As we know, some do decide to enter the porn industry, but many (also kids) are brought there through human and sex trafficking, or are obligated to sell themselves like this because it's the only way for them to get meals (them and family). This is specially true nowadays in countries like Ukraine du to the lack of massive employement. In a country where the social protections are lacking or are absent, young people have to resort to such job to survive.
I believe that our faculty and sensibility to react to any kind of given situation - even with the most fictional conditions, reading - reflects, like you said, the mirrorr of our soul. When I read some comments, I'm just so glad that they are just about fictions. And I wouln't want to undergo an abusing situation where I'll have to see if those same individuals would save me or not. It'll not be a surprise if they have not at all EMPATHY.
But I guess that today, speaking about things like empathy is equal to being an alien.
Yeah, you said it all.
And I doubt that author-nim has ever done any plausible research on this thema, well, like most of the authors in Yaoi genre btw... Cause' it's just Yaoi, lol. Some lack ability to write a scenario, others are just lazy. And since many fangirls eat anything -_-
It was already limit when the Uke is being raped by just the Seme. But here, we get someone who got gangbanged by a group, raped over and over, and he seems to still enjoys sex like nothing happened. And we get those desperate fujoshis who try their best to give a plot to that plotless train wreck...
The same way people are shipping Sangwoo with Bum.
After reading all the comments I still have a question: Why do people ship the mc whiith Yule? I am just ineterested, from a psycological point of view, since I believe that this story is, except a graphic depiction of how to give person a bunch of mental problems, because you didn`t deal with your own craziness first (yule and his brother and sister and what they did to the mc), it also is very much some form of mirror of the reader`s mind. Cause, yeah, this is fiction and a pasttime and everything, but how we comment it shows some part of our thinking. there are a lot of manga and manhwa that sugarcoat problematic relationships, but this here- it is cold and brutally honest.
Personally, I wouldn't want Kyung-soo to end up with any of the already known semes, `cause they don`t love him. At all. Not one of the three. However, he is already so much mentally fucked up that he can`t even make choices normally anymore. I really want to see how the authr will end this story. (P.s. I have seen the raws, I know how it ends, visually at least, but I won`t make any assumptions about it unless I understand the words :D so please don`t use it as an argument )
So yeah, just sum it up: Why yule? Or why any of them at all?
- just the curious reader who tries to figure out their fellow readers :)
p.p.s. soory for the long comment
