Character development doesn’t have to be positive. JK is spiraling, he’s getting worse. This is development! Not sure why people are saying there is no character development. Dan also has realized his feelings, so he’s developing there. Character development should take time. If JK were to suddenly turn a new leaf it would feel out of character. He is going to hit a bad low before the author brings him to his high. Patience is needed. 50 chapters in a manhwa isn’t that long. I’ve read book series where it’s taken the character multiple books to hit their narrative peak.
*manifesting Jaekyung winning* One of his best qualities is that he takes his job seriously. To be a global athlete, at the top of his weight class, never losing, takes an amount of discipline most don’t have. He deserves the win because he’s the only one playing fair in this fight.
I actually would’ve loved to see a time skip for the side couple. I hated Do-hyeok at the beginning, but I believe he literally doesn’t know how to love. If he leaves for a while and comes back more mature and not psycho, I believe he and Siwoo can have a happily ever after. They really grew on me.
A great BDSM story! I love Cha’s submissive journey! If you like dom/sub dynamics, this is worth the read!
10/10, will read again. Yeah, you have to have a stomach for the assault scenes, but I honestly thought the artist did a good job of making them visually uncomfortable and not sexy. Worth the read!
Fucking love the heartache! It will make them getting together romantically, not just physically, all the better. Shout out to Jaekung, he is a great seme! Good thing he’s fictional and can’t read some of these comments. I mean, we all know what’s gonna happen, right? They’re gonna be madly in love with each other in the end. At least that’s the trend in this genre. The seme being at a narrative low means his story to his narrative high is going to be amazing. I fucking love Jaekung and find his journey interesting. Also: liking fantasy rape is fine! Don’t let the naysayers get to you! They’re hypocrites who are over 40 chapters in. They love everything about this story, including Jaekung.

I’m actually quite happy to see the ‘fantasy rape’ trope coming back in recent years. It was big in the 90’s early 00’s. All these tropes ebb and flow, but fantasy rape has always been big in yaoi/BL. Why? Because fantasy rape is statistically the #1 female fantasy! Whether you like it or not, on average, we love this shit! We love the bad boy turns good because we can change him. Our fiction reflects that. This isn’t bad or even toxic. It’s a *fantasy*. Historically, and even modern day, women love this dynamic. Because it’s not real. We, the women, control the rape in these scenarios. That’s why it’s also called a ‘controlled rape’ fantasy. I loved it in the 90s (when it wasn’t taboo, but totally normal in yaoi AND het romance novels) and I love it now. No shame in loving this trope! It’s a normal trope!
I kinda want the 3 of them to get together. Yahwi and Cain can really learn from each other if they can turn their hate boners into regular boners, and just high five each other when their doing Jooin.
