ok ignoring the cliffhanger im SO HAPPY about the character arc that's happening rn. like taeju has been making so much progress but he has to accept that euihyun might not want him due to everything he's done before he can actually have any semblance of a normal, healthy relationship w/ euihyun. like he's gotta accept that euihyun is his own person who might want his own life. very happy, this is literally the exact character growth i was hoping for, i just hope that the cliffhanger stuff doesn't overshadow/prevent that.
I feel like this would’ve been better if it committed to either being PWP or a story but it kinda flopped between the two. Cheolho’s story was actually really interesting. I feel weird about cuntboy fetish being a trans man, esp since I can’t even use that hole, but it’s still kind of nice to see a man with a vagina represented.
Early on Seunghyuk mentions that he doesn't remember who he lost his virginity to, that "at the time [he] was a little..." and then trails off... I'm assuming the implication is that he lost his virginity shortly following his grandmother's death bcus he was so out of it/needing company but it's a shame that it never came back up again/got closure.
Damn I don’t think anything could redeem the top lmao, this is just gross and brutal…
It reminds me of a lot of those popular darker het romances you see ppl rave about where the ML is sooo abusive and awful but is still the end game with the FL.
I kinda hate how obsessive seunghyuk was after they finally got back together… or at least I’d like to see them once they’re back to normal/not freshly broken up. The angst was delicious, though.
*freshly back together after breaking up
Sex work is real work. It isn’t selfish to enjoy your work and want to continue to do it. Issues of jealousy or possessiveness need to be talked out and resolved. Saying “quit your job because I don’t like how you use your body,” is unfair. Even if there are other work options. People shouldn’t stop having to do work they like just because of their partner. Because there are people who are fine with it, and there are people who understand this line of work, and people who understand that they don’t own their partner. And people who understand that sex for work is nothing like sex with a partner.
Support sex workers and support sex work! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
NOOOO I STARTED READING IT WRONG AND THUMBS DOWNED BY MISTAKE
I was going on a path of disliking all the anti sex work comments, but you're so right with what you said
The thing that scares me is that the bottom is a pretty realistic depiction of someone who has been horribly emotionally abused for years and years, forced to become completely reliant on their abuser and isolated from the world, etc. Like. The author hits on even less talked about but very real aspects of escaping from and recovering from an abusive relationship.
And yet she... talks like the abuser is a good person? How? How? How? How do you write one of the most realistic effects of a toxic abusive relationship on the victim/survivor and still not realize? Or justify it?
Yeah. I'm waiting until this story ends. I assumed it would end with the bottom getting with the non-abusive character but my expectations have hit rock bottom.
Exactly!
I had the biggest ‘bruh’ moment
I mean considering what they personally likes no surprise. (grooming? TF?!!!)
And they’re gonna justify the abuse and grooming by giving us a cute lovely backstory on those two. Isn’t that just wonderlfull :D
I'm glad ppl are actually acknowledging this as rape since ppl got pissed at me for pointing it out last time ;; really makes me sad
… that was sa :(
WHAT WHEN?
ch33?
“could you slow down a bit?” “i said wait!” “that’s enough. i feel better now.” “we can’t do this here.” “[when asked if he wants to stop] yeah, no. we can’t do this. what if someone sees us?” “let’s stop for now, okay?” “just… not here” “wait!” “wait! wait!”
mc repeatedly asks ml to stop. when ml asked if he wants to stop he directly says he does.
Nah its not, he likes him and want to do all that with him. Dumbass
He literally tells him he likes him, and that he’s just embarrassed/shy to be doing all that. Not that he doesn’t want it
you know that most people are raped by their romantic partners, yeah? liking someone is irrelevant to whether or not it’s rape.
there is quite literally no way you can interpret “let’s stop for now” being ignored by the ml as anything else. If that is not what the author intended, then they accidentally wrote rape.
it doesn’t matter if he is “just embarrassed” he quite literally only asks the ml to stop. ignoring him asking to stop because he is “just embarrassed” is still rape.
He has arms and legs if he wanted out if that situation he could def left lol rApe ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
This is literally rape apologia and victim blaming… disgusting.
"You're still like a baby in my eyes... so it's hard to believe there's a baby growing inside of you." wtf man
