LABY on YouTube made an extremely good video on this Manhwa!
Whether you agree or not, it's actually educational as to why Dan is a victim and why Jinx portrays sexual violence and also how the law in South Korea affects same sex abuse and encourages staying silent unless you're a woman and your abuser is of the opposite sex.
Same goes for toxic masculinity and why we categorize certain traits as manly (such as violence and dominance) and even tend to be drawn to that.
I feel like if Mingwa was fully aware of the sexual violence and lack of consent in Jinx, this would be an amazing story, if she delved much deeper into the traumatic aspect and the consequences it can have on a victim that is conditioned to stay silent (being of the same sex) and in a position that doesn't allow speaking up.
The power difference in terms of strength and influence as well as their life styles make for a really good story if it centered around the psychology.
Everything else aside but who's the guy on the cover tho? (⊙…⊙ )
Looks kinda like Kabu from Bi no Kyoujin.
I don't want to drop this but the pacing is so awful.
Any big reveals or development feel so flat because there's little to no built up.
It feels like a theater piece where you pick some scenes that you liked without telling a coherent and engaging story.
I liked the pacing of the early chapter better.
Their sword fight? Not shown and provoked out of nowhere. The rescue of the prisoned knights? Small dialogue, no attachment to them and just dead guards that Iblonde seemingly took out.
This feels like 2x speed on a YouTube video while occasionally skipping 10 seconds.
I love the premise and this story has so much potential too! It's just a bit bland to me.
Still I want to see where this story goes in the future so I might need to let it marinate.
Everything else aside but I'm really vibing with Hades colour scheme, even his weapon is purple lol
I'm on chapter 13 rn BUT I had to comment this.
When I started the first chapter I was like "oh another abusive Top, this will be pure smut without good story but okay", while I kinda hurriedly skipped over the first half (also the woman took me off guard).
The cover page also didn't make me feel like I was gonna read a good story, looks very provocative and I was thinking to kill some time.
BUT I'm so invested in this!! The writing is genuinely so good!
The art is beautiful and my heart aches when I think about the Mc and how he's basically put down by Minho(e) all the time.
I'm rooting for Taehwan so badly.
I never thought this would be such a good read, I literally teared up when Mc was crying in the theater and I truly hope he gets happy in the end.
Nah this chapter was so frickin BEAUTIFUL!
The Mc is drop dead gorgeous.
The way he just shielded Dogun was so hype ngl
I love it when a character reaches a breaking point and does something radical like that.
But I hope they'll soon get out because it's dragging a bit tbh
Thank you for your work!! You're amazing and we appreciate you so much
Ngl that 3P could've been longer, it was so good ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
Just for completion sake, I think it was good to have the extra before Vol. 3. So excited for jealous Shinobu, thanks for all the explanations btw
As for the weekly thoughts, I personally feel like "Oshi no ko" Season 2 is the Anime of the season, it's just that good. Although my favorite is "Tower of God" Season 2 bc I've been following the webtoon since Season 1 and a lot of love and care was put into adapting it. (Some say it's slow paced but I prefer that over some fast paced-skipping on everything meaningful episodes).
Lastly I'm watching "The Strongest Magician in the Demon Lord's Army was a Human" (BANGER OP!), "Why does nobody remember me in this world?" (Such an interesting plot, making me hyped for every episode) and lastly "Atri: My dear moments" (but thinking I might drop it bc it's a bit boring, still very pretty animation).
Gotta start "Elusive Samurai" tho!
There's something wrong with me but I really enjoy this...
Hot men, power dynamic (Yakuza x policeman) and over the top smut, please sign me up!
It's nothing ground breaking but it's alright for what it is.
I'm guessing we'll see some more emotional background next chapter bc I guess he bit his own hand instead of his nape. Then some back and forth and happy ending for both.
But I'm here for it!
Dogun being able to sense the mutant before he arrived makes me suspicious, it could be due to his keen senses as an agent but also something about him being involved in those experiments altering his DNA, he survived the fall from the sinkhole after all.
There's definitely something wrong with him.
I hope Haemin steps up next chapter because I don't think that mutant would hurt the one carrying his child now. I'm a bit lost on where the plot is heading with the sinkhole arc. So far it was a fever dream and I hope we'll get back to seeing some clues being hinted at.
thank you for visiting my page hope you enjoy it .
>>I love all genre of mangas but i prefer yaoi .
>>I'm really into tragic manga with a bittersweet love but have a happy ending .
>> I've been obsessed lately with plot twist and unexpected plot so if you have any suggestion you can recommend some for me
This is getting an Anime, fans assemble!
I always thought it was a shame this never got an Anime while similar works did.
But 2025 an Anime will release, I'm literally so excited!
I don't hate the premise, I'm just praying to everything unholy that the Mc isn't another backbone missing poor punch bag for ML's power trip.
I'm sick of seeing those bottoms already, I love when they have an attitude, fight back or even get bratty to piss the ML off.
Like in Payback or Passion.
We need more power bottoms fr
I can't read in public or I would have moreee
This is literally such an amazing birthday gift, so glad it got uploaded today ♡
I think this basically confirms that the otherworldly being infused his body with a variant, his blood doesn't spill anymore because whatever is inside his body feeds off of it so it gets sucked back in.
Also I think the variants are probably artificially produced by the government and that one guy at the organization for which Dogun works for, may be involved. Seeing how he's high ranked and knows about Haemin and his condition.
He'll definitely play a bigger role in future chapters.
It also may be the children that got transformed hence the serial number which Haemin recognized and the the name tag.
Ngl it's really exciting to theorize about a story with each new chapter~
Moon River by Audrey Hepburn gives off such a cozy and soothing feel, yeah I can imagine Tay falling asleep to that song, it's beautiful!
I haven't started reading this but 6.9 at over 200 votes is crazy! Never seen that before tbh.
I hope this is the hilarious kind of bad and not the bad please delete my eyes kind.
Okay I just read chapter 8 and had to comment.
"Rape isn't sex, it's abuse" has to be one of the strongest and powerful sentences I read in a BL.
I don't know where this story is heading but their conversation was everything.
MJ not understand how it can be abuse to feel good together and the Doctor explaining why it's still abuse and it will never change. A fist and a penis being the same thing to the victim.
Also how MJ got so worked up and didn't want it to be abuse, realizing there must be something wrong with his approach (so he hesitated to grab him again and force himself on the doctor) but not being able to find a solution. I don't think he understood completely but he was still afraid to upset the doctor he claims to love.
Now that's peak story writing to me.
Both are clearly characterized and their statements make sense coming from them.
I love twisted and psychological manhwa so damn much!
