I liked this story a lot for the first book(?) but this new forced conflict is so overdone and underwhelming that I felt like it was just filler. And, like, man just tried to RAPE the uke and y’all are just gonna let it slide because he said “ahaha, now I won’t bother you anymore”??? It may sound a little wild, but this should have ended after they got together.
I’ve seen a LOT of different opinions about this specific troupe, where the MC will be in high school (either a junior or senior) and the ML will be a working adult. Now, I understand not liking age gaps, especially with possible? minors (I believe seniors in JP high school at 18 or 19) but a lot of the people who dislike these troupes or complain about them end up reading the manga till the end anyways Like, I’m talking mangas that introduce the age gap first chapter and they stick around till the end anyways
for some reason its grown popular and normal to do that. mangago users loveeee reading and complaining about series that have themes they dont like in them from chapter 1 but are still there complaining when nothing has changed 40 chapters in.
lts fair and valid to have themes/ect u dont like and want to read, but then u need to stop reading series they're explicitly in, especially when its that series entire identity! nobody feels bad for u at that point
Agreed! If I start a manga/manhwa and a theme I REALLY don’t like is in it, I just drop it. Like, everyone can like what they like. I’m not going to complain about it, just leave. The only valid complaints are if the story is, like, actually bad or poorly paced, but a theme like age gap is so mundane that if someone doesn’t like it they should just drop it without a word!!
haha so true. Though personally, i dont also like this trope wherein person A is minor and the other is a whole ass adult. Even in fiction, it is not my thing. But I dont judge ppl who read or enjoy this trope bc at the end of the day theyre fictional characters, theyre not real and theyre not us. Just hope ppl who hate this trope would learn how to use the back button and close the tab instead of complaining or judging readers like party pooper
I think they just want to complain to complain. When I encounter I troupe I don’t like I just leave and don’t say a thing. Everyone is entitled to like what they want, and I’m entitled to the ability to ignore it. No need to call out what someone else likes, especially over a work of fiction that isn’t hurting anyone.
This idea that when you find something you dislike or hate, you should just drop it silently and let other people enjoy it. Don't say a word! This idea is so hypocritical. Especially when you have something to say about those people's complaints. You see, if you couldn't keep your mouth shut about other people's dislikes, then how do you expect them to keep their mouths shut about their dislikes? You get it? Don't say a word? But you made a whole post to talk about it? I guess everyone is entitled to like what they want, ignore what they want, but they're not entitled to dislike what they. The world must work differently for you ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Did you even read the post? OP clearly states that even if they dont like something they will continue to read it. Till the end. And continue to complain about. Calling out bs for bs isnt wrong. What is annoying though is that said person who hates that manga/hwa/hua continuing to read it and complain about it.

Exhibit A: "but a theme like age gap is so mundane that if someone doesn’t like it they should just drop it without a word!!"
Exhibit B. "Everyone is entitled to like what they want, and I’m entitled to the ability to ignore it. No need to call out what someone else likes, especially over a work of fiction that isn’t hurting anyone."
To summarize for you:
Without a word!
Everyone is entitled....but no need to call out....
Op thinks everyone (including themself) should be entitled and yet in the same sentence says no need to call out? Do you not understand it when you say everyone is entitled? It means everyone, not just you and the select few you believe can say what they want. It's EVERYONE including people you disagree with. Hypocrite.
there is a difference making a general post calling out ppls BS and ppl complaining *every damn update* about the themes of series its had since chapter 1 on said series landing page.
Especially considering ppl in this thread are just pointing out hypocrisy and the pointless of it. The ppl we're talking about will be throwing horrible insults and accusations at every fan and the author. "I wish ppl would respect the 'dont like, dont read rule' is fundamentally different from someone calling the creator and fans 'abusive pdfile ect ect'.
The post calling out people's bs (the original post) is valid. It's their replies that are hypocritical. If you want to call out people's specific trash behavior, please do, just know when you start making GENERAL statements like 'don't say a word' or 'everyone is entitled except' that you're gonna get called out for being a hypocrite.
OP literally says they're not talking about actual criticism like about characterization, pacing, plot ect, they're specifically talking about the ppl who comment just to complain and insult.
If you want to be whiny because the bag labelled dead dove: do not eat has a dead dove inside it, sure I guess ur entitled to be an ass. Doesn't mean we should have to put up with ur moaning on the page of the series. Go scream into the void or vent to ur friends like ur rest of us. Hell, make a blog about it. Seems like a miserable thing to spend ur time on, but if ur doing it in ur own space at least ur not bothering anyone.
No one is going to respect ur intelligence for complaining about fork found in kitchen drawer.
But how would people complaining bother anyone if op, or you, or anyone, can simply "don't like, don't read" those comments? I mean if your logic is if you don't like something, you don't read it, then just ignore the comments? Idk, seems like the logic is flawed if you can't follow what you preach. Just don't preach it so hard, maybe you won't be a hypocrite?
And goodness, go complain elsewhere? Explain to me how a comment section works so I can understand this level of entitlement you're having.
My personal opinion, as long as the age gap isn’t 3+ years if they’re a minor, I don’t mind. If the person is 18+ though, even though they’re in high school I have no problem with any age gaps. This is also my thoughts for people who have a crush on a character, enjoy smut of them, or whatever. As long as the characters are 18+ or turn 18 at some point in the story, I don’t care if someone personally is attracted to them or if there’s an age gap. I know that’s probably a very unpopular opinion though.
But, I personally love Junjou Romantica. Misaki was 18 in high school while Usagi was 28. I do prefer season 2 and season 3 over season 1 though since Misaki is in college then.
This is my personal view on it. But I can definitely see why some other people might be uncomfortable with it.
I need to confess something.
I think Dong-gyun, the uke from BJ Alex…. Is way cuter than Kim Dan from Jinx….
Something about Dan just doesn’t sit right with me. Like, ik he’s supposed to be super pretty, but I really don’t see it entirely. That’s not to say I think he’s ugly. The art is always great, but smth about him
AGREED! Tbh, idk what is with all the recent manhwas having really basic ukes. Like, I’m talking REALLY basic. Like, I really wanna read that one about the gamers where the seme is the buff swimmer and a barista but the office worker uke is so fucking basic I actually can’t even pretend to like him.
Wait hold up how basic are we talking there’s this type where they look boring and have short short hair and I’m lowkey a sucker for that especially when their ml is canonically attractive gahhh my pretty x “uggo”
AHHHH WHATS THAT ONE CALLED sounds familiar
I hear your cries it’s getting harder by the day to enjoy what’s out there !
But I REALLY don’t like Gunjoon’s friend. The one who likes San sunbae. Like, I understand when your friend is doing dumb shit you give em a little tough love, but man doesn’t even ACT like he likes being around Gunjoon. Always frustrated EVERY time they are together. And instead of giving him any positive feedback or supportive advice he basically calls Gunjoon annoying??? I’m sorry but tf kinda friend is that?? None of Gunjoon’s friends are particularly great, but I especially dislike Doyoon,
