So what exactly makes this yaoi b/c this just seema like a whole bunch of drama. Plus the father died right? And the uncle is supposed to be the MC's father, because he could not conceive children? Plus can I get spoilers. Tysm
This is yaoi allrightლ(´ڡ`ლ) SPOILESS
It takes a while for things to heat up between Il Ray (seme) and tae-ui (uke). IL RAY is a bit of uncontrollable psycho jackass so the relationship is rocky from the start (and there is rape scene ao beware if you don't like it) but when he loves, he loves intensely. The best part of the novel was seeing how gradually IL Ray's behavior and emotion towards Tae-ui changes. I mean who knew this psycho monster can love? Tae-ui is super likeable. He is realistic and knows when to stand up for himself. It's funny how he is not ashamed of using low tactics to take advantage of the situation. He also has weird habit to talking to himself lol It seems like there is a love triangle in the beginning g, but in greater context, it is a red herring and the story focuses on Il Ray and Tae-ui's relationship.
About the whole confusing family situation, in the novel they clarify more as the story goes on. But, it goes like this: the "dad" is infertile so he asks his little brother (the uncle) to donate his sperm. The brothers have good relationship so the little brother agrees. So the uncle is their biological dad. But, he sees himself more like an uncle than a dad and that is how the twins view him as too. There is not much of a drama regarding this.
1) The sex with Shinru ("third wheel") was not rape. Shinru approached him to get him off Tae-ui's back. Shinru is the first one to notice Il Ray's growing interest in Tae-ui. IL Ray just happily accept his advances because Shinru's face was his type and he also want to get a reaction out of Tae-ui. IL ray is kinda fucked up on the head has a very weird outlook on sex lol There is a rape scene between Il Ray and Tae-ui. This was before Il Ray noticed his feelings (he denies it for a long time lol) and he is kind of a kid who doesn't know what to do with a feeling that he never felt before. The rape scene is kind of a major turning point for the two.
2) There are no multiple couples. It might be hinted that a guy is romantic interested in Tae-ui's twin brother but that is it (it was never confirmed within the story but it was strongly hinted). The main story strictly focuses on Il Ray and Tae-ui. I heard their are side couple in spin-offs but I haven't read them yet. The main story doesnt have other couples. The uncle and Kyle are just friends lol
3) Ah yeah I only heard about the existence of the spin offs yesterday! There is apparently three SERIES of spin offs: Diaphonic Symphonia, Suite, Raga. When I read the synopsis, Diaphonic Symphonia and suite is focused on Il Ray/Tae-ui and two newly introduced characters as couples. And yeah Raga focuses on Shinru and a new character. But, for the spin-offs, I haven't got a chance to read them because I didn't know they existed until recently lol So this is all I know Haha
nicee
did the seme sleep around? so shinru and the seme had sexxx first before the main uke? thanks for the spoiler
Do you have a link to the novel ?
Yeah he sleeps around lol In the novel, tae-ui sees him have sex with Shinru and he also see him getting a blow job from unnamed character lol He thinks he can have sex whenever he likes with anyone he wants (like he says he can rape people he wants) . He thinks like a beast: The stronger one takes all. Which makes it all more funnier when you start seeing him getting flustered when he becomes unable to do the same with Tae-ui LOL
This explaination is far better than the few mistranslation in the comic...thank you guys!
It was only mentioned that he had past relationship (none was really serious) and he was a seme with them. He had something like a puppy crush on Shinru in the beginning and almost sleeps with him (he thought he would be seme but Shinru wanted to top him lol). Things don't go well with Shinru due to multiple reasons (which Il Ray is also part of lol).
"There is a rape scene between Il Ray and Tae-ui."
Would you mind going into greater detail about this, please? Why did he do it? Was there a struggle? How did Tae-ui react?
The premise is intriguing, but I'm not sure if I wanna read 6 volumes for another rapist to lover scenario.
Hmm then maybe you should drop this. IL Ray is a psycho jackass and he doesn't hide it. Since he is at the top of the food chain and always gets what he wants, he thinks the same for sex. Sex is like fighting to him: the strongest gets all. The rape scene is a major turning point for the relationship because it was the end of the line for Tae-ui. He put off a lot of IL Ray's
bullshit but he gets really pissed off about the rape. The rape happened when IL Ray was sick and Tae-Ui was helping him recover (I know what a Jackass IL-Ray lol). The sexual tension and attraction existed between both at the time but it was rape nonetheless and Taeui clearly acknowledges as such. More than pure violent rape it was more of they kinda like each other, but Tae-ui said no to sex, but IL Ray ignored the rejection. Tae-Ui takes revenge on this and runs away. OMG the revenge was so sweet LOL IL Ray gets pissed off (more sad even if he doesnt know) that he lost Tae-ui and tracks him down. When they meet again, that is when their relationship gets re-established. IL Ray is not a kind one and is more like a untamed beast. So, if you were hoping for something consensual and sweet, this is not for you. But, if you decide to stick on, you will get to see how Tae-Ui tames this beast.
I don't mind toxic relationships, but from this description, it sounds like Tae-ui is a pushover who just gives in at the end since he realizes there's no way he's going to escape this guy. Less "I tamed the beast" than "well, guess this is my life now, better get used to it".
No offence to Syxx, but the seme DOESN'T get tamed in Beast Must Die. More like he forcefully converts the uke into a depository for his emotional/sexual needs.
I'd recommend Nii-chan or Checkmate instead. At least there's an interesting back and forth between the leads.
Yeah it's in my to read list but the art is not really my cup of tea so i have been pushing it back lol I will get to it eventually. I call IL Ray psycho not because he officially is, but because I think he is crazy lol In official terms, I think he is more of a sociopath. But he is also neither because he is capable of love.
I went with 'tamed' because IL Ray changes a lot throughout the story because of Tae-Ui. There is also monologue by Tae-Ui saying he has made a monster into a human. More than a pushover, Tae-Ui is just a I dont care kinda of guy and if I am stuck in a situation, let's just go with the flow kind of guy. This guy can be chill as fuck while being kidnapped by terrorists (which happens later in the story lol). IL Ray later comments on it too LOL
Checkmate is already my all time favorites. I am already buying raws every week to read it lol.
I read and like ENNEAD xD I am waiting for Season 2. The author recently released a teaser for it so it must be coming soon.
I know this is late but Is the sex scene between ray and shinra explicit and completely written? I love the ntr vibes with this one. I hope you can answer and what book it happens cuz im going to buy the novel. Thank you so much.
I bought all the books and now I have to improve my korean to read it because the app doesnt allow mtl to help me with this!!! But i really hope you still can answer me! Thank you so much.
Do you guys have the link to the raws of this manhwa in Ridibooks?
Sex between Ray and shinra was explicit but it was really brief. It wasn't a long scene. The focus wasn't the sex itself but the fact that Tae-Ui saw them having sex and Ray enjoying tae-ui's reaction. It was in volume 2.
I read and finished the novel. I can explain and maybe clear up some confusion if you guys have any questions.
