At this point, I give up. People are gonna have their opinions that they have a right to post and talk about. No fault of anyone's own, but Jinx has not only reached people who like it, but the author being as well know as they are, is gonna reach unintended audiences and has done so already.
It's become clear to me at this point that this story may not even be about any sort of redemption or their relationship reaching any sort of healthy standards. It's a fictional dark romance manga, where obsession and possession tend to mean and equal feelings of love- if there's even any form of that from either of them. Dark Romance takes the darkest parts of what love can be and amplifies them to unhealthy degrees while muddling the purest aspects and feelings associated with love. I know that the entertained audience who actually likes this is probably bigger than the negative viewers (who stick around for their own varied reasons), but they have taken over the topics. And that's fine, but I think it's why the majority of people who actually like what the story has been offering, have not been in the topics so much. I suppose it's simply just somewhat unfortunate that the intended audience doesn't get to have majority of this space for themselves without having to deal with obnoxiously repeated negative sentiments. Understandable why not, but still.
I don't really care what type of reception this gets, I just felt like saying my thoughts aloud, because I'm too tired to bar them.
This is why I hate TikTok, because it's FILLED to the brim with people so oblivious and ignorant about the type of shit they post. Commented on a few on TikToks directly (I don't think it's many readers from Mangago that are posting these things since we have the topics section, so commenting here I feel like might not help as much), but I don't have the time or patience to do more right now.
My suggestion is you all do the same. The more people who comment on their videos, the better and likelier chance they'll listen. They might even delete some. If people can't find these sites with how easy it is already to do without direction or guidance, they probably shouldn't be on this site to begin with.
To those who are doing it from this site- you've read the notice and other people's own comments on this themselves if you're reading mine. Don't ruin this for us. We just got Topics back, and people really missed these. Not to mention, many are loving this manga (I being one of them).
Don't. Ruin. This.
Advice for y'all readers. For those younger readers out there.. don't ever fantasize that real life axxholes like JK will change for the better later.
We can enjoy this fiction but certainly RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT if you meet someone like JK or as manipulative as the new guy.
PEOPLE DON'T CHANGE. Certainly not overnight and most never will regardless of being brought up by a shitty childhood or similar excuses.
People are still gonna complain about this, and there will always be comments. However, I'm just glad that most newer ones aren't talking about how this manga shouldn't exist, that Mingwa's talents are being wasted, or that anyone who likes this is horrible anymore. It's more along the lines of exasperation and annoyance at the character's, JK's, typical antics and wondering how in the world he's gonna be redeemed at this point.
This is the type of interaction with this kind of manga that I like to see. It's not quite as intense and hateful in the comments, and people can openly express things they like about the story now that most of the more critical commenters have left. I actually really like seeing people hating JK's character instead of the Mangaka for making this. It's better this way.
That being said, I'm glad Kim Dan is taking pleasure from these acts now. It was hard to read JK practically torturing him in the beginning. This doesn't excuse JK at all in my eyes, but I've always been here for sweet little Kim Dan, and even if it's from a bad and/or wrong place, his blissful expression is still something that's kept me coming back. I'm sorry, but he's just so fucking adorable and hot, I simply can't help myself–
Not gonna lie, this feels almost like a tamer, watered-down version of Jinx. It's definitely not as intense, and even though this is somewhat my kind of taste in manga, I understand the hate and/or criticism of it. I haven't finished it, but even in the beginning, it's obvious the Seme is definitely a mentally unstable and unhealthy individual. Good thing this is all fictional! Takes me out of my head and lets me escape reality with how unrealistic it is... (–/// ω///–)
I was surprised by almost all the topics being negative in some way or another. I felt like some people might be able to relate in some way. Maybe not to the "shipping real people" aspect of it, but to shipping two characters in general and sometimes being unable to help thinking that way when reading/watching/playing something new. Besides, even if it's unethical and slightly immoral to ship two real people together (I personally believe it's fine if you don't go shoving it down their throats, pushing it onto other people, or drawing realistic porn of them, but I still get where others are coming from on the topic), we need to remember that this is fictional, and he's technically shipping two fictional people together, not real people, even if they're real to him. I don't even care for those parts, I could honestly go without them, but it's the principle of the matter being that they're fictional. I understand some not liking this because his behavior makes them uncomfortable though...
Anyways, I personally really liked this manga, mostly because of the character dynamics. They were fun.
Why the hell is this tagged Double Penetration?
Like, from my understanding, there aren't even any explicit scenes?
Whelp... Hopefully this gets picked back up by someone soon... (Y//^//Y)
I would definitely read a spin-off manga of Mami-chan and Youki's relationship. I need more manga of femdoms pegging cuties like him, not bara/buff guys.
Also, can someone fix chapter 2 already? I have to go to another manga site in order to read it whenever I want to.
It's rare for a Femdom manga to have a cute male sub or one that's not beefy/bara, and it kind of sucks. Though, I'm glad the one (of the few mangas) with a cute Male sub has consensual BDSM and Orgasm Denial in it, despite the sometimes off-putting art style (I like it, just sometimes a frame or two can look a little off to me, and the fingers are a *bit* long). The other cute male sub mangas tend to be a bit more tame in nature. Which is fine, but I always wanna see them get fucked by the girl, and they either only do it once or never do! (T'///^ ///'T)
I'm such a fucking whore for Orgasm Denial in stories, though. I honestly need more of it. There's something just so fucking alluring and HOT about it.
[If anyone knows about other mangas that have Orgasm Denial with cute subs (Yaoi, Yuri, Het- I don't care), please let me know!]
I'm torn, because I personally love all the sex scenes. The art style is exactly my taste and I'm a horny fucker, but I can also understand people's complaints of not having many plot chapters recently. At first, I was miffed about all the comments complaining about the amount of sex scenes (like, bitch, leave it alone and let horny bastards like me have their fill), but then I realized; I, too, forgot about the plot due to all the explicit, no plot, sexy scenes.
And I actually really like this plot (as I'm sure many do, hence the criticism of all the porn-no-plot chapters), I'm honestly hoping that it takes an angsty route. It'll be so deliciously painful if they do. I think I'd be incredibly disappointed if, after the love potion spell breaks, the Seme is like 'yeah, no, I still love you, nothings changed', I want some anger, or something XD
Not that I have anything against those who dislike, and even criticize manga and stories that romanticize unhealthy relationships and dynamics between two characters (and, just, straight up rape), but that being said, many people like this type of stuff purely for the fact that it's fictional, and they can completely remove themselves from reality when reading things like this because it's unrealistic for it to ever happen to them, or for it to happen this way just in general.
People like what they like, and that doesn't make them a bad person for it (as long as no living person is getting hurt or violated). They don't even have to justify it. That's why it's definitely not wrong for this manga to exist in the way it does. Or why other mangas with unhealthy and unrealistic portrayals to exist. You can dislike, criticize, and have discussion about this type of literature, as is your right, but don't shit on people who have the opposite opinion. They have their reasons, and they don't need to justify it. They're not rapists or pedophiles for the fictional content they like to consume.
I'm not even the biggest fan of this series for the same reason as a lot of you, but I can recognize it for the appeal it would have for some audiences. I can recognize that, for some people, making things like this can even be cathartic if they've gone through things or are still going through something. It's important to be nuanced about these types of topics.
And, to be honest, even if this has plot, a story, and is most likely going down the redemption love-story route, it is still porn. The people reading this know the difference between what's fictional and unrealistic to what's actually healthy and real.
This isn't me challenging anybody on their dislike, criticism, or their comments on this manga, as I completely understand them. They're 100% fair. I'm simply saying that it's not wrong for this manga to exist the way it is and for people to like it in it's entirety. It's blatantly obvious how unrealistic this story is.
Not that I care much about others opinions when it comes to consuming content or liking/disliking fictional characters, but I would've thought that with Jinx being released and updated around the same time as this would've made the Seme look much better in comparison.
Not that I don't understand the criticism and dislike of him. It's completely fair, tbh. I like him for shallow reasons, and because I have a messed up taste in fictional characters. I'm just somewhat surprised is all.
(Btw, this isn't to contest or challenge others on their said dislikes and criticisms of the Seme, I have my own opinions that I don't need to justify. I'm simply making a statement.)
Why is nobody talking about how adorable Danwoo is, because he's so cute, I just wanna see him get fucked SO BAD-
Not to mention, is it just me, or does he look so much prettier the longer his hair gets? He's such a pretty boy ~ (*´ω｀*)
