I hate how people make fat synonymous with ugly. The mc was cute at the beginning.
Fun story thoooough.
It's a stupid Asian thing. I mean fat phobic people are everyone but in Asian countries its not veiled at all. I read at least 4 Japanese manga where a fat perosn is called a pig and better yet, refers to themselves as such. If they don't make fat people ugly , they make them unhygienic and disgusting... it's so stupid and often ruin what could have been a good story
The funny thing is, sumo wrestlers are still revered. And fat people were normally thought of as rich, because they could afford to eat. They also we're not often kind so that is why they play villains. But the fat and stupid icon has more to do with European and american influences. They often saw, and still do see, European and Americans as fat and stupid slobs. They also see them as villains because many don't bother to learn about the Asian culture, or the use and abuse the country, like the British did with china. A lot of these views are ingrained into their culture. Just like the way they draw eyes, the larger the eyes the more innocent the character, the smaller the more devious. Also these webtoons and manga aren't made with other cultures in mind, they are made in mind with what will sell in their country.
Sumo wrestlers tend to be men and female sumo wrestlers in Asia face a lot of prejudice for their weight and ‘unfeminine’ hobby. Asia might not be as strict with thicker men but when it comes to women you’re often discriminated against if you weigh much more than 50kg. Even if hundreds of years in the past thicker women were revered- that hasn’t been the case in the past century. Fat phobia may not have been a problem in the past but it definitely is one now. Especially with recent fads where women in China try to be so slim they fit into children’s clothes. Fat phobia is never good but in parts of Asia it’s downright dangerous.
Oof I have a lot of problems with this story. First of all, this not how actual bdsm is, I repeat, THIS IS NOT HOW BDSM IS. Consent and aftercare is very very important.
I’m not gonna lie I didn’t hate the MC but she was very toxic, manipulative and constantly raped/performed acts without proper consent. She needs therapy more than a new sub.
Nothing could redeem the professor’s (forgot his name sorry) actions for me. He was emotionally abusive towards the mc throughout their “relationship” (not to forget physically abusive). Do I think him being raped repeatedly was deserving? NO. No one deserves to be raped.
The main male lead: boyyyyyy, you don’t fall in love and be willing to do whatever the person who popped your cherry says. He was such a one-dimensional character, no matter what the mc did he crawled back to her with the “I’m in love you” excuse. Like I expected some growth, some character development to see him grow enough to be like no this isn’t how people should be treated buuut nooooo.
The male “master” was a shiity person as well. I feel like my thoughts through this whole story was RAPE IS NOT OKAY. People deal with the own trauma in various ways but that doesn’t make it okay to physical abuse and rape people because of it.
Actual doms are not like this and should not be like this. I get that this fiction but it’s basically advertising bdsm as just sadistic acts that bring pain and suffering to people without any consent.
I was looking forward to reading this just on the mere hope that it’ll be a good representation of bdsm and dom/sub relationships maybe with a good love triangle, but no I was slapped in the face with rape after rape after rape. I continued to read it just hoping that it could somehow redeem itself but naaah. Also silence is not consent nor is coerced consent.
O.o
When was he physically abusive towards her?
Ok so for you Doona needs therapy and you didn't hate her but the the jerk's actions are not redeemable. Sounds logical.
No sorry he didn't slap her on different occasions, he slapped her ONCE in the whole story
And then she beated him so much he nearly vomited.
If we counted the times she beated him. That would be countless.
I didn't say you say she is a good person but I think you don't treat them equally. Because Doona for sure doesn't have redeeming qualities. At least our jerk admitted to his mistakes so he understood his misdeeds.
Just pain, pain and more pain. Literally no rhyme or reason for the ml to a sadist waste of space. And what plot? Just mc being a human sacrifice? No progress, no climax, a shit ending.
