Seeing a lot of people point out the obvious problems of this story, but I personally thought it was utterly adorable. I only relate to the heavy criticism in the sense that I could see potential for a longer story with more details, because I found the two delightful, lmao
Dooshik was extremely hot, and Jooha was incredibly precious, pretty, and adorable. But I think this story just made me depressed. The ending is bittersweet, though. I was scared it would be a tragic one (but, like, in the worse way possible, where Jooha was just more traumatized, brokenhearted, AND killed, or forever imprisoned because of the things Dooshik did towards the end).
just a lesbian who loves women, romance, lgbtq+ content, fluff, found family trope and reincarnation stories
People are allowed to like both of these characters just as people are allowed to hate both of these characters and point out their flaws. To express said views. Hell, there's no stopping someone from deciding to hate another person who sees and enjoys this as something 'cute'. And others are allowed to act defensive or be dismissive about it. It might give others ideas about that person, but it's no one's problem but their own to deal with.
These topic sections can be a bit of a dumpster fire sometimes, but even if it's tame, you're gonna find the tension and negative comments no matter what you're reading. Best thing to do is not let it affect you, or provide your stance on whatever it is in a respectful, meaningful, and concise way if you wanna avoid tensions building too high.
That being said, I love this so much! I am enchanted by these two character's dynamic and am absolutely ENDEARED by Eunho~ He's such a cutie patootie! And I kind of like Jaewon being both mean and considerate of him. I know he's a manipulative bastard, but if he can fluster Eunho and make him cry tears of either pleasure, embarrassment, or hurt that he comforts with some sort of reassurance, that is than followed up with some semblance of aftercare, than I am sold. Super weak for a Uke that cries and flusters so prettily if there's comfort and a happy conclusion involved lol.
[If the before paragraphs don't make this clear, disclaimer that I wouldn't condone this type of relationship or behavior in a real world scenario.]
I didn't even read the chapter, I went to the comments because I KNEW it wasn't gonna be good. But I wanted to confirm it, and I only needed the comments for that. Bitch, I'm not even curious on the details of what actually happened, call me when this shit finished lol bye-
I love this story. Chaotic, messy, and toxic as fuck, but sue me, I have problematic taste when it comes to fictional characters. I just- UUUUGGGHHH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
Though I would've liked to see the baby, I don't quite mind. For me, this is just an 'oh well' type of situation. Would've been cute though. I do agree with the ending feeling rather rushed though lmao
So glad all the topics that are overtly critical and downright hateful of this manga have *SOOO* many downvotes. It's amazing~
I never cared to join in on, like, I guess "hate" (even though I wouldn't call it that, I just can't think of a better word) but, like... Dan needs to get a better reality check. Same with Jae. Dan needs to NOT be developing feelings and he needs to leave his ass, and SOON. For the sake and character development of BOTH.
Crossing the Line is such a fitting name for this Manhawa. Many lines have been crossed in this story. -_-
Mingwa is an amazing writer. Say what you want about the story. It absolutely is fucked up, I agree, but no one can deny that she's written Jaekyung's developing feelings for him very well, considering his character. I would elaborate on it, but anyone who can pick up on the subtle developments of Jaekyung's character knows exactly what I'm talking about.
I'm not even the biggest fan of this story, but I absolutely love Mingwa's vibes and can appreciate how insanely difficult it is to write anything in general, especially when it comes to story writing. Hell, people have difficulties making a good essay, which is 100% saying something about the skills of Manga Artists and Writers (especially since they're usually both).
"Jaekyung and Dan still have a long way to go"
"there's no fun in making it easy for them"
"let's all go down this rocky path together"
I love Mingwa, so self aware about what they're writing. I, personally, am a fan of the slow burn and no abrupt 'Oh, I super suddenly care' from Jaekyung. That would be actual poor/lazy writing and wouldn't feel natural at all.
Disappointed it didn't become poly when it has so much potential to be one. They could've written romantic tension between Yohan and Yoojin since they were already HELLA compatible physically, and Jihoon would've fit into the dynamic beautifully, he wouldn't have fucked anything up since they both took an interest in him. And for once, finally, I could've read a webtoon/manga/manhawa that actually does poly some justice with a good story. Like, seriously, I don't think I know any good poly stories... T- T
That's not to say I didn't enjoy this for what it was, though. It was for sure hot. Sexy. I just would've loved it SO MUCH MORE if they were all **romantical** together~ ₍₍(ú/w //ù)⁾⁾
