this is just my reasoning but when it comes to seungho, we knew from the beginning he was "the villain". when he treated nakyum like shit in the beginning it didn't come as a surprise, but now me and a lot of other readers were hoping to see some character development. that's why it was so disappointing to see he's still stuck in his abusive ways.
also i don't really think of it as a breaking point, personally i was about to drop it the first time seungho r*ped nakyum but kept reading because i wanted to see in which direction the author would take the story, if nakyum would get revenge/happiness etc. and now when it's becoming clear the story's going in circles, people's had enough.
yeah i get that, people wanting him to develop i understand that like 100%, i genuinely think the storyline is great bc seungho is such a cool character, like i would watch a psychological breakdown video for him (i watched the one for azula from atla)
my sole issue with this is that r*pe and sa are such common themes in bl that people tend to promote, this behavior and romanticize it. or they say the characters aren’t that bad just bc “they’re so hot” i like the story and the art! but i don’t see this as a love story bc that’s now what it is...
it’s kind of like the KS discourse for me. i’m not comparing the manhwas in any way but i’m talking ab the fanbases lol
this seems kinda jumbled sorry, does it make sense
also how come some ppl’s breaking point is seungho not recognizing na-kyum was kidnapped despite clear signs and not when seungho kidnapped, r*ped, and emotionally abused nk??
just a thought :/
