The second story is better than the first (starts at chapter 4). The first story made me so irritated because the seme was way too pushy and V E R Y annoying. Imagine working with that guy and seeing him grope another man and give him unwanted sexual attacks. “I love you too much”! Is not a proper reason for your incessant actions. Usually I’m alright with semes that are a bit forceful but this seme? Boy oh boy was he annoying and made me wanna beat his ass. It truly never looked like the uke had any feelings/any resemblance of a romantic interests for the seme at the beginning (now that you mention it it’s really weird how the uke suddenly developed a bit of an interest towards the seme towards the end...that story event is oddly placed and was developed weirdly). His lack of interest not only made the seme seem even more disgusting (with his stalking, groping, stealing kisses and hugs, doing his perverted actions in public and at work, taking advantage of the uke while he’s drunk by taking images of him naked) to the readers (also because it doesn’t seem like the uke was blushing or kinda liking this contact like other forceful-seme-love-hate-relationship mangas), but it also makes the story seem terrible due to the lack of relationship developed. This story just looked like a straight guy constantly being harassed by a gross man who tries to make the other like him back with unwanted attacks and while not even stopping to think about the other.
Yessss
Thank youuu for this post
100% agree, the seme from the first story was soooo creepy, I started skipping pages, I couldnt take how annoying he was
I honestly just love how he’s the underdog and how “non-protagonist” he is. It truly gives so much richness to a unique story and depth to the character. But the ending? That new author that took over in the ending volume absolutely ruined the previous author’s amazing creation. How does that new author even live with himself. If you’re gonna allow that ending for the main character then at least make it more meaningful. (SPOILER) he dies because of bombs. LIKE THE STORY STARTED OFF WITH MARTIAL ARTS AND HOW HE LIVED SO MUCH OF HIS LIFE OVERCOMING HARD MATCHES AND GROWING. HIS WHOLE LIFE WAS INFLUENCED BY MARTIAL ARTS AND YOU ALLOW SOME MAN MADE TECHNOLOGY FROM SOME NAMELESS OUT OF NOWHERE CHARACTERS TO BE THE ONES THAT BRINGS HIM DOWN. OF ALL THINGS??? Despicable, disappointing and aggravating. ALSO I get how there’s a thing where “he’s too evil and has done too many bad things that despite his wants to be a better person and to live the life he should have gotten (as you see towards the end) he still must die to “pay” for his crimes and as retribution because he doesn’t deserve goodness/it’s part of the idea that even till the end he doesn’t reach light”, I DONT GIVE A FUCK. He’s an mc that made me want to root for him even though he’s a terrible person and to see him wasted away like this (ok that metaphorical death scene and was mediocre at best) is very very very wrong. (SPOILER ENDS) I’ve read this manga years ago and it popped up again today so I’m writing this now because the manga has left such an impact on me and the ending left even more of an impact (in a bad way). If you like villainous protagonists then please please please give it a try. It’s pretty good.
Also try it if you are interested in mangas that go so much deeper than surface level content and give you so much more than it may seem to give
What is wrong with that black hair ML guy?? Like he punched the drug seller guy because...he took the “if you’re bad at sex you can make ur partner really horny!” thing personally??? “Watch your fucking mouth when you’re talking to adults”???? WHY DO YOU SAY THAT THERES LITERALLY NO REASON YOU SHOULD PUNCH ANOTHER AND SAY THAT PHRASE. It’s completely non sequitur... also I get he doesn’t know how to be a proper boyfriend but dude, risking your partner’s life with a shady drug isn’t exactly a foreign concept. Not to mention U LITERALLY GAVE UR PARTNER A SHADY DRUG AND CAUSED YOUR PARTNER PASSED OUT!! TAKE HIM TO THE HOSPITAL! DONT JUST CRY NEXT TO HIM WAITING FOR HIM TO WAKE UP. The sex scenes are hot but some moments are just too concerned to not be mentioned.
I like how we all love Chang but he isn’t gonna end up with the MC ;-; also why is Chang so hot like bruhhhhhh im hurt because his face is hella niceee
Also Chang with glasses is hELLA FINE GEEZ THIS MAN NEEDS TO CHILL
Yes
As an avid sunscreen lover and user, I don’t really think this information is entirely true. A higher spf don’t cause bad things to your skin??? Technology has gotten so much better?? I’m using a CHEMICAL sunscreen rn that’s 47 SPF (HIGHER THAN WHAT THAT GUY SAID AND MORE “SIMULATING”) and it’s amazing?? Absolutely no white cast, extremely light weight, easy to use and apply, doesn’t feel greasy at all, hydrating for my dry af skin and not irritating at all even tho my skin incredibly acne-prone. It’s like $20 and it’s liquid gold. Not to mention it’s actually recommended to people wear a MINIMUM spf of 15 for day to day wear (and remember to reapply). So that thing where he said to wear spf 30 or lower is in the opposite direction. SPF 30 lets about 3% of UVB rays through and SPF 50 lets 2% of UVB rays through, so just know that you are more protected with a higher spf than just 30. Also y’all should wear spf everyday because UVA rays are eVERYWHERE RAIN OR SHINE. I mean skin cancer? Who has that when you have sunscreen?? Premature aging?? Who dat? Burning and redness?? Never heard of her. Sunscreen is great. You should find one that works for you. I’m using Krave Beauty’s The Beet Shield. Research. Protect yo skin. Keep your skin cells healthy. That’s all.
if you wear a very high spf it also has a potential to block vitamin d which is obviously important so you need to make sure your not completely deprived of sunlight
“Studies have never found that everyday sunscreen use leads to vitamin D insufficiency. In fact, people who use sunscreen daily can maintain their vitamin D levels.”
“High-SPF sunscreens are designed to filter out most of the sun’s UVB radiation, since UVB damage is the major cause of sunburn and can lead to skin cancers. UVB wavelengths happen to be the specific wavelengths that trigger vitamin D production in the skin. Nonetheless, clinical studies have never found that everyday sunscreen use leads to vitamin D insufficiency.2,18,19 In fact, the prevailing studies show that people who use sunscreen daily can maintain their vitamin D levels18,19
One of the explanations for this may be that no matter how much sunscreen you use or how high the SPF, some of the sun’s UV rays reach your skin. An SPF 15 sunscreen filters out 93 percent of UVB rays, SPF 30 keeps out 97 percent, and SPF 50 filters out 98 percent. This leaves anywhere from 2 to 7 percent of solar UVB reaching your skin, even with high-SPF sunscreens. And that’s if you use them perfectly.“
“Sunscreen prevents sunburn by blocking UVB light. Theoretically, that means sunscreen use lowers vitamin D levels. But as a practical matter, very few people put on enough sunscreen to block all UVB light, or they use sunscreen irregularly, so sunscreen's effects on vitamin D might not be that important. An Australian study that's often cited showed no difference in vitamin D between adults randomly assigned to use sunscreen one summer and those assigned a placebo cream.“

thank you for leaving this comment who knew I'd get so educated about skin care here
WHY DID I READ THIS? CLIFF HANGER? I N C R E D I B L Y FEW UPDATES? MY HEART
BUT WHEN OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN PAIN BECAUSE OF BL I GET SO FRUSTRATED. I can’t handle when “love” becomes toxic and a complete nuisance to other characters. The kid is literally a CHILD who is willing to compromise in letting a SCARY STRANGER into his own HOME because his brother has “feelings”. He has to clean and cook in the house, has to take care of his grown ass brother, has to go to school and NOW HAS TO DEAL WITH A POSSIBLY DANGEROUS MAN? This isn’t a fucking BL manga. This is a fucking sad story and it’s neither cute nor funny. When BL mangas try too hard to be “funny” or “interesting” and end up obscuring the BL aspect of their fucking BL manga it’s not something you should read. I do nOT RECOMMEND THIS.
The parents just left (￣∇￣")
I had the exact same frustration. For fucks sake -.-
