Thank you so much for your comment! Honestly I think both uke and seme have done wrong and honestly I love how this story is going now. I feel a hit sympathetic towards the uke with the sacrifices he made for his family and now my insides are filled with butterflies now that he's seeking the seme out of his own free will! Arrrghhhh!!! His homophobia is cured?! Hooray! Lol and I hope he falls in love with the seme and they can live happily ever after!
Omg so much hate for the uke... Are y'all looking for two perfect angels as main characters? If so, where's the room for character development? Why bother reading anything? Just read the last of every manga/manhwa you come across and skip straight to the happy ending.
Uke was not the most considerate during their date. That is true. But I hardly think that qualifies him as douchebag of the year. He's uncomfortable with the situation he's in and doesn't consider himself gay. This manhwa may be labeled yaoi but if our protagonist says he's not gay, then I don't think we have a right to say he's in denial. Maybe he'll have a change of heart in the future or the seme will win him over, but just because he felt some pleasure sleeping with the seme doesn't automatically make him gay. Maybe bi.
All your accusations and reasons for hating the uke make me think you've been reading too many yaoi fantasy and forgetting that they are mostly fiction. Straight men rarely get coverted to gay after having sex with a man. It's not impossible but it's not common. But it certainly makes for a good story which is why we see it so often. Hetero uke melts with pleasure over seme's big D or hetero seme cannot resist sexy uke and becomes overly possessive. Those are great tropes that I will never tire of. But that shouldn't be expected of all stories. Some good ones are a slow burn where it takes time for both characters to develop.
I'd say both main protags are equally flawed. Uke is insensitive and a bit selfish. But he's also unselfish in that he's willing to sacrifice his body and pride to save his family. And seme is hardly gallant for using sex as a bargaining chip for financial assistance. It doesn't make him evil but it hardly makes him gallant. Doesn't matter if he's in love with the uke or not. It's kind of a sleazy move. But I don't care enough to dislike him because I know if he didn't do that, we wouldn't really have a story would we?
So people, calm and read the story. If you hate the uke that much, go read one of those other cliched but unrealistic yaoi romances. There are a ton of them here... No need to get them panties in a bunch ヽ(`Д´)ノ
