Everyone clap for the artist for rendering and illustrating the apple in this chapter so beautifully instead of using a 3D model which we would've forgiven but I'm so grateful look at that paint job. Beautiful.
Guys I know everyone hates Jaekyung everytime I leave and come and check the most recent comments on the mangago homepage it's everyone hating on Jaekyung in the season 2 premiere (as they should) but dear lord I could not have imagined the magnitude of people that would be wanting to see this man suffer. There's always a new reader that just found out that it's back and is delighted at this man's misery
Dear god he became even more pathetic and more a whiny little bitch. I usually like pathetic self-obsessed bullies with egos so fragile they'd snap like a potato chip but Jaekyung is just too violent and arrogant and hasn't snapped and realized what a chump he is and has a long way to go before he's ever close to the standard of greatness he wants to be. He's gonna be miserable more I hope it lasts longer than all the Doc Dan disrespect combined and it's not just 3 or 10 chapters and then wow Dan is back and Jaekyung is only slightly less awful.
Jigu is a an emo tsundere dumbass and Yeowoon essentially has the personality of a harem protagonist similar to the uke from our sunny days.
Villainess reincarnation manhwa where the villainess had dark pink eyes and white hair. She had the OG ML be trapped and her slave also she wore a mask while visiting his trapped house. ML has yellow eyes and black hair and he kinda liked being her slave so when she lets him go he's upset. He then becomes emperor and asks her to marry him. There was some stuff about how he wanted to reverse their roles as master and slave. She started dream hopping before I stopped reading also she had nail polish on that matched her eyes
Aside from the coincidental meetings after the intial AC chapters it doesn't really feel like a BL and more like an online MMORPG story. I don't think I'm even close to seeing them meet and I keep getting teased by the coincidental IRL meetings. I don't know if it's my low patience or attention span but this feels like it's dragging as we keep doing side quests in the game (the pvp, the levelling up, the events) irrelevant to the main relationship. I don't know if when the romance starts the MMORPG elements will fade into the background and all these chapters become pointless or if it's going to stay relevant throughout. It all just feels like meaningless fluff and the only connecting throughline is the hacker element
This is not only good unvensored BDSM smut but also a good psuedo-historical european josei. The power dynamics are kept pretty balanced when they are doing it as the dom was a lower ranking noblewomen originally and the sub is the crown prince who is essentially an obsessive yandere sub who wants the best for his dom/wife. Courteny Devon's noble count family is in financial strife and debt as her father is weak willed and always getting caught up in frauds and scams, her mother loves pretending they still have the wealth prescribed to their title along with wanting to use money they don't have to be trendy, her brother is a gambler with plenty of debt, her sister in law is a crybaby who's head over heels for her brother, the only person she actually likes in her family is her sweet, smart, nephew Edvard(this is how they spell it). She often scolds, beats and berated their foolishness publicly giving her quite the reputation that the crown prince has become smitten with. He believes she is the Master/Dom for him and he pays off her family's debt and makes her family comfortable (which she dislikes because she feels indebted to him and responsible to pay it back). They keep most of their dom/sub stuff in the bedroom and they're a pretty standard pair outside of it as Courtney is still a responsible and mature person with a lot of feelings and Richard(crown prince) loves/obsesses over her dearly and will do anything to make sure she's comfortable and happy he willl also kill anyone that insults or hurts her. They are both intially virginal so the playing field is even. She actually really like being a dom but she doesn't have the strength or endurance for hitting. The dichotomy between the characters in the bedroom/private vs publicly has that gap moe.
Courtney is a really funny character with lots of WTF reactions to the people around her's insane bullshit. There are lots of moments of her outside the BDSM scenes.
I was intially offput by my first read as one of the first things I saw was a huge uncensored penis being stepped on. Seeing this I assumed it would be a generic smut-fest where the two leads only like each other because they think the other is hot and it's loose plot with mostly smut. I also assumed there would be a weird power imbalance where one of them is an asshole and the other likes it which makes me think that they both suck and deserve each other (but not in the fun way in the "I'm so glad these two are out of the dating pool")
Same artist as "Spring Amidst My Wintertide" and "Duchess's lewd invitation"(hate the plot of that one). So hunky guys, hour glass women and shiny bodies. The tits are glossy even in the non smut scenes. The art is decent.
Plot was kinda halted by the bdsm scenes because realizing that this is all season kinda left me wanting more plot in exchange for less smut but I also know those are when the characters really connect and get what they want from each other(courtney gets control and power and richard gets someone to be mean to him and hurt him and they both thoroughly enjoy themselves). All I can say is I can't wait for more and I am docking a star for making me want more plot and then letting me know things are gonna get worse/stressful.
Guys I literally can't every time they call her buff and jacked I remember that one line up of female athletes from different sports. She has no muscle mass, no muscles that are actually used for fighting, she looks like either a gymast, pilates instructor, yoga instructor or an ice skater. She does not look scary and just looks like a porn actress the only thing someone might find unattractive in her is the height.
"Why are you trying to set him up with a woman when you know he currently has a boyfriend?"
"My mom got upset that I called her on my birthday and I felt like an outcast because my parents didn't love me the same way my friends parents loved them."
"Did you face any harassment, bullying or teasing for that?"
"No it was just my own insecurities"
your parents loving work more than you had literally nothing to do with being discriminated against for being homosexuals WTF what she talking about. Those two things are so unrelated that it's baffling that she even had the audacity to get involved like god grief there are so many differences between those two things let's go over some of them.
These are two consenting adult men and her situation was her being upset that her mom didn't love her onesidedly as it was a parent-child relationship.
Her parents not loving more than their work is not the same as homophobia it is literally night and day and she didn't even like tell her friend or other people before this so she didn't even face any discrimination or bullying for it it was just her with her own feelings of being "outcasted".
There is a difference between parental neglect and homophobia.
When refering to your genres/tropes demographics do you believe it is correct to refer to them as women, femme presenting or (she/hers)? (I understand men and masculine presenting people also read these genres I just generalize as I assume they're in the minority)
I got into a recent argument as I was repreatedly having to reiterate and defend myself from being called a misogynist for refering to the creators and consumers of thses genres as mainly heterosexual women or just women attracted to men and how sometimes SOME of them don't see homosexual men as people and see them sometimes as objects of their desire for their enjoyment and male love interests as simply part of their self-insert character arc where they fix a broken or traumatized man with the power of love, femininity and virginity.
I understand that these groups and types of people are not the entire demographic of readers nor writers. I also understand that this trope and character usage is common in storytelling directed at women with a major example of this being twilight but was I wrong to assume that the demographic consistent mainly of women attracted to men?
This is a really shitty genre of Isekai that has happened more than once and one that I think is real anti-yaoi and kinda homophobic. Basically a girl gets transmigrated into a BL/ Yaoi novel/comic and there's a love interest who was gay in the OG and was an obsessive/yandere character because of trauma but because the main girl fixes his trauma h......
