dropped at ch 20

i know this is an unpopular opinion lol but the seme hyun choi is so creepy and the way he constantly cries and tries to make the uke feel bad for him feels kinda manipulative...? like he's always crying and being self deprecating JUST for the uke to pity him, and like blatantly lying about how he got them to share the same room, and being so over-the-top about his feelings in an uncomfortably pressing manner. and the whole obsessive stalking for 7years and being weirdly pushy every time the uke lets him closer,, uke gives an inch and he takes a mile and it's kinda uncomfortable. the seme feels like a "Nice Guy" lol. the uke even lampshades 'am i really that easy?' but that doesn't change the fact that .... yes,,,, you are.... and it's just *rolls eyes* idk it made me uncomfortable and i wasn't interested in the characters. i love baseball but this barely touched on that and more on the seme being weird and uncomfortably clingy, so i'm dropping.

    i see what you’re tryna say and i respect your opinion. but people are different and how the story progressed made it all make sense. how far have you’ve read? the ukes personality basically respects that and has no problem, and the seme did whatever the uke wanted if asked. consent was also pretty present.

    yeah fair, to each their own! i read until ch 20 but everything about the vibes just felt off to me lol. the uke gave in so easily that it was disappointing, like it just cheapened it to me yknow? we get a few chapters of 'oh seme has been pining for ~7 years~ so pity him, but there was no buildup plot-wise so the payoff wasn't satisfying.
    i get that the uke's personality is kind of a pushover but the 'he's cute so i can't say no' is kinda lazy, it's used so much it's like bro do you even HAVE the ability to say no...?
    it's not that there isn't consent, its that the consent feels kind of manipulated. sure, the uke never says 'no i don't want to', but he gets the seme acting super pitiful and upset and literally crying all the time, the 'im such a bad person for liking you' and 'i'm sorry that i sexually attacked you last night i was horny and im so sorry don't hate me please' and idk that feels so manipulative when you take into account how the uke's personality already lets himself get walked over because 'he's cute and i feel bad'. ofc the uke continuously pities the seme and tries to reassure him its okay. so he never really establishes clear boundaries, and the seme continuously gets his way regardless. (like based on that personality, i was actually expecting the seme to be like a yandere or abusive asshole lmao. but i guess he's supposed to be sweet?)
    i get that it reads differently to other people, but i've seen enough fake and sly people that the seme's behaviour just reads as subtly manipulative lol

    Don't mind this reply but i just want to say this (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) It's not hyun choi's fault that he's cute in youngwoon's eyes. He even compared him to a puppy (~ ̄³ ̄)~ Even if I, met someone so cute, I think I'll give in too lol

    True lol, you can't blame someone for being cute. I take more issue with how hyun choi uses that to his advantage to get what he wants or get away without any consequence. after all how is youngwoon supposed to say 'hey stop that makes me uncomfortable' when hyun choi is giving him a puppy look at just the right moment? It is youngwoon's lack of ability to say no or set boundaries that is the issue but the way hyun choi does that kind of thing strikes me as very sly and manipulative even if he doesn't intentionally mean it lol

    Yah I'm dropping too I read until chapter 6 but I realized that this isn't my cup of tea..
    I just skipped through the end..
    But it is a good story with a good plot but I guess I don't like 'wholesome' and 'cute' stuff maybe I'll come. Back when I feel like reading it again...
    I just forced myself to read this but I low key think its good but this manga isn't just my style Lol..
    I usually like something like 'tales of the yellow dragon' u know what I mean? Something like thriller
    Historical and drama action...
    I just feel like I don't like how they express their feelings I guess I can't feel the emotions...
    But its not like I fully dropped it... In this kind of situation I save the chapter on where I left off and come back to read it when I feel like it....
    I'm interested in this manhua but not that interested...
    I still have a bunch of want to read in my screen shots... Maybe next time I'll want to read this..
    I understand how u feel... ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
    I have switch in emotions... ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
    Some might get offended but I think its kinda boring
    ONLY A LITTLE ok.. I just can't seem to find the spice in it... Not that I hate it tho... Its just not my type... TwT
    No hate...
    Its just not my type..
    Only my opinion tho ok

    I agree with you man, had a ex bf like that and it wasn't until my friends pointed out that he was alienating me from them that i broke up with him
