Anyone knows if the Korean chapters are on a hiatus or something? End of season? They haven't updated for a while ╥﹏╥ and the latest chapters are WILD!

Ethingan created a topic of Duke's Private Tutor

I feel like none of them really acknowledge neither how badly the duke treated him before (shaming him, rape/non-con, leaving bruises) or how he was drugged and raped by the other guys. I mean, Jace is dumb, no question about it, but the duke is stupid too, believing Jace would want to jump into a relationship with him directly after all that.

Sometimes it feels like they show the effect of assault properly like when Jace, in pain and disheveled, told the kid they could go to the circus, or when he was trembling in fear and shame from feeling the effect of the aphrodisiac and told the duke he wasn't promiscuous (obviously traumatised from when the duke assaulted him saying it was okay since he would do it with anyone). But then in other instances it's like none of the trauma ever happened.

About the duke helping him when he was drugged, I would have supported it if he only focused on pleasing and helping Jace, but it felt kinda disingenuous when he took advantage of the situation to get some dick action himself.

Honestly I'm kinda sad. Doumeki was so cute before. I absolutely loved their dynamic and it's extremely hard to find BL where the uke is the boss and the seme respects them to that extent. And for some reason in those rare cases when the uke is the boss he often loses that power and angers the seme who then is resentful and treats the uke badly.
I reaaaaaly hope this doesn't turn into one of those stories. This is Yoneda Kou so I have hopes but I'm still scared. I can understand Doumeki but I just don't want him to turn into an ass. ╥﹏╥

Ethingan asked a question

Any recommendations for BL (preferably yaoi) where the uke is in position of power like a CEO/boss and is actually competent and respected and didn't have to sleep around to get there? Like boss ukes are really rare in itself and when I do find them they almost always had to sleep themselves to the top. And they often also have shitty personalities. I want an uke who is competent, doesn't have to degrade himself and who also isn't an asshole. Why is that so hard to find? ╥﹏╥

Ethingan created a topic of Spinel(baekji)

I don't have a problem with the first or third couple. Lowell and the prince were always strongly against slavery, respected the spinels and didn't use their position to coerce sexual favours. If anything Lowell was the victim of assault. Honestly, IF there is gonna be a master servant relationship I appreciate that the uke is the master for once as it is almost always the reverse with the semes having a lot of power and the ukes always being at a disadvantage.

But I really don't like the second couple. The duke abused, raped, talked down to and humiliated the uke. He used his position and the f*cked up slavery system to have sex with someone who was not allowed to say no. No matter how much pressure there was on him there is no excuse for this. But it's supposed to be okay because he actually loved the uke all this time? You shouldn't do that to anyone, even less to someone you supposedly care about. Also the age difference makes me uncomfortable, the uke looks super young and the duke looks so old. And lastly it just happened so fast. Suddenly the duke wasn't an abusive pervert and they love each other and are super cheesy with each other and everything is sunshine and rainbows... No, just no (/TДT)/

Ethingan created a topic of Fate Makes No Mistakes

Damn I kinda wanted another bj scene, seme on uke is somewhat rare, but this is nice too! (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ

Ethingan created a topic of Undercover Partners

I'm happy to see the first couple again! I loved both of them and their dynamic, and especially how cute and sweet but also manly and hot Kyuho is. For some reason I couldn't really get into the second couple. I don't dislike them and it's nice to have reasonable, realistic adults for once, but I just felt that the seme was a bit too calm and collected all the time. I would have loved to see emotions like him being shy or feeing, anxious, jealous and sad etc. I hope to see more of his feelings in the third season! (●'◡'●)ノ

Ethingan asked a question

Please help me find this!
It was a black and white BL webtoon with beautiful art. The seme and uke lives in the same apartment complex and the seme always hear the uke having sex upstairs. Seme first saw him smoking and pretending to fall out of the window. They met when the uke was bruised from being beaten up by his partner and the seme helps him. After that they become sex friends. The uke is being abused and blackmailed by his partner about something he did in the past. The uke also has some psd and trauma about drowning in the ocean.

So I'm just at chapter 11 but did they ever say what happened to the other captured people? Were they really sold off as slaves? Poor people ╥﹏╥

Ethingan created a topic of Under the Green Light

To give Jin the benefit of the doubt (not that he did anything wrong, just very stupid) he may not have gotten the message to meet on Friday, or maybe he was preoccupied at the moment and didn't hear it or something. It can always be dangerous to send messages through someone else. Or maybe he he's too pissed off and wants to calm down before he goes there. Or he's self destructive which isn't gonna change after meeting someone nice twice, no matter how hot they are

Ethingan created a topic of Under the Green Light

They only met like twice and they are definitely not in a relationship. And he didn't even personally accept the Friday invitation, so he didn't do anything wrong. But still, why choose a creepy random dude who wants to drug you when you have a kind hottie waiting for you? ╥﹏╥

Ethingan created a topic of Assorted Wildness

While I feel bad for Jeha for being beaten up and think his child abusing dad should go to jail, it is unrelated to and doesn't condone how he's been treating Mongryong.

Jeha has been treating Myongryong like shit honestly, kidnapping him, imprisoning him, treating him like a prostitute and sending him away to some pervert etc. Just because Mongryong usually acts carefree doesn't mean you can treat him however you want. And Mongryong was an innocent person who was dragged into everything only because of his relation to his sister. Jeha deserves to feel bad about it and imo he needs to work to be forgiven. Just because he will treat him better from now on doesn't mean the past is undone.

Ethingan asked a question

Any BL where the seme treats the uke badly/really fucks up and the uke leaves. But then the seme changes and has to work hard to EARN the uke's forgiveness? Without the character development feeling too rushed or unnatural?

Ethingan created a topic of Love Me Doctor!

OMG the doctor! He's worried Hyuk will not want to kiss him after summing in his mouth. The doctor is just the sweetest!! I know Hyun didn't intend to do that and he did kiss him afterwards, but like, guys who expect their partner to go down on them and even swallow but then don't want to kiss them afterwards because "eww, semen" are just SCUM! Like they are so ridiculously entitled it's not even funny and they definitely don't deserve a sex partner.

May they drown in their own cum one day!

Ethingan created a topic of Love Me Doctor!

I LOVE the doctor! So rare finding semes who like to go down on their ukes! But the doctor is so giving and considerate. This was HOT! ヾ(☆▽☆)

Ethingan created a topic of Window to Window

Just finished reading and (maybe an unpopular opinion) but Ginu is kind of an a-hole. He has the AUDACITY to expect Yubin to confess AGAIN when he himself doesn't have the guts to. Even though he knows how Yubin feels but Yubin doesn't know how he feels. It would be much easier for Ginu to confess. But instead he plays with Yubin's feelings, manipulates him and confuses him. He is so self-entered and arrogant! He is too scared to be vulnerable but expects the other person to lay his feelings bare. I really hoped Ginu would get over himself and confess "first" and was so disappointed when he didn't. Also, when he can't even admit his feelings he has no right to act so possessive of him. I actually liked the "apology-chapter" at the end, finally Yubin had the chance to turn the tables, but it still feels like it was resolved very easily. They were kinda cute at the end though.

Ethingan created a topic of The Devil’s Temptation

I actually love these backstories where we can see how they met and when Ian started falling for Hyun ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~, but I gotta say this must be the most unclear and confused transitions into flashback I've ever seen
