This is literally so good I was tearing up when I clicked the next chapter and it took me to the to-be-continued page. This can be a little cringe at times and make zero sense but at the same time, the maturity of the characters and the building romance is worth it. The only gripe I have with this is that I wish Beom had come out of his shell earlier in the story. His sudden character development was a little rushed and I wish it had started earlier and gradually became more apparent.
These Domsubverses are rarely ever good and this one falls down into the very tall shit pile. The plot is very generic and similar to every other domsubverse the only difference is that the sub has the potential to be a great character. Unfortunately, the Dom is an asshole who attempts to blackmail the sub for his own sexual pleasure, he uses him to tease and have fun with. It's incredibly boring and disgusting. The art is boring and hard to look at. Sucks to see something with potential thrown it away for a sexual assault-based plot
It's your preference, I won't judge you for disliking most domsubverse, but I have to correct you on the "blackmail" comment. Sota (dom) literally *never* blackmails Kyoya (sub). In fact, in the end of Chapter 1, Sota says "I won't do anything to compromise you". Kyoya simply THINKS Sota will/can blackmail him, but Sota literally never does. Sota lies alongside Kyoya.
I'll be honest the art is meh and there's not much of a plot. The whole game system being stuck thing is kind of rapey. He is forced into having sex or sexual fantasies about the men the game chooses (not him). The only one he was kind of okay with was the blonde (puppy trope) co-worker. It calls seems like a rape fantasy just not as brutal. It's not very good overall. The characters are very bland too and you can get bored with every chapter; highly redundant. The concept could've been great.
Migwa girly love you and all but how are you gonna redeem this dude cause to do that you'd have to be some ultimate writer to do because girly you can't redeem rape or abuse, feels like sexual misconduct, and abuse of power. In a few chapters and it's not romantic that you have “sex” with someone hearing seeing and knowing that it's extremely painful for them and seeing that they have been assaulted then you call a doctor and they have to tell you that he can't do anything and basically what you are doing to him is not okay and is affecting the body in a big way in my eyes he cooked that dry ass chicken breast so the kid doesn't die of malnutrition and stress so you don't get an assault case. It's not romantic just because he is hot doesn't change the fact he's in the top 10 of worse BL characters. So either it turns into a love triangle and Dan doesn't fall in “love” with the asshat and with a different better person not like you can get worse than him anyway but someone SIGNIFICANTLY better than him or they don't fall in love at all drift away after bro grandma dies and he gets him money lives life and be happy.
I can see why people liked it. This was intriguing and can get you hooked but at the same time, I feel as if some people miss the point where they justify the actions of the characters in the story. The story was meh at most. People in the comments hyped it up to be something it's clearly not. My problem with this is that I get the feeling while reading that the author is attempting to justify Makoto's (sp?) actions due lack of a parental figure and desire for love. What he did throughout this was terrible and what he went through doesn't justify anything. Most of the characters in this were terrible and we're made to be unlikeable but halfway through I felt like the author wanted me to like them and see why they do this, It threw me for a loop. I've only mentioned Makoto because he was the second most prominent flaw here the main one was the rest of the characters like what they called the “normie” dude, his whole reason for wanting to help Roku was weird and kind of random. Ai the brother was...something I can't really describe but he also suffers from the same issues as “normie” The reasons for staying with the brother are there but they also seem random and out of place.
That was only a few things I mentioned but overall the story lacked and could've done more but felt like it didn't know how. I never liked the incest thing anyway and to use it feels weird even though the author didn't use it in a way that's “omg so adorbs” and more of a “They fuck just know they are blood-related”. I didn't like it to be honest and if you did that's great for you.
When I tell you in the beginning it was so good like waiting for updates every day and waiting for the next in my hands and knees kind of thing. The potential was exponential. The story was plot-driven with little tidbits of foreshadowing of smut, the sexual tension between the seme and uke was amazing and I couldn't wait for the story to build up. Again the potential was there and then it was gone. The storyline and mood of the story suddenly changed to the point I didn't exactly understand the actions and intentions of the characters. At some points, it would be retconned and then built upon as some kind of “twist”. The build-up to these “twists” was lackluster and lazy at most. Other decisions are made by supposedly smart characters like the Uka for example. He seemed smart, strategic and knew what he wanted. Abruptly that changed and he turned into every other uke in BL’s, it was disappointing.
Overall the current story has turned lackluster and lazy. The random points of rape and non-con aren't even surprising anymore. The smut has become as boring as the rest of the story. The sexual tension between the MCs was thrown away entirely leaving me to feel whiplashed. It's so disappointing to see a plot like this go to waste.
More to add. I read the spoilers provided by a commenter and omg is worse than I thought. The shitty ML sucks literal ass, the Mc is an idiot. The rape-based plotline to fluffy romance takes the cake for one of the worst troupes ever.
