anytime i come across a series like this nowadays i can't take it seriously... i just think of the MC from "A World Where Everything Definitely Becomes BL vs. The Man Who Definitely Doesn't Want To Be In A BL" and start cracking up, definitely cannot go back to the time before i read that series but i'm not complaining LMAOOO
cliffhangers...why does this always happen to me... argh
Ugh right. Legit binged this today and found out the story updated 3 days ago
of course i'm not making any claims but the art feels a bit...ai-ish. which stinks because it is good art but because my mind makes that connection it feels slightly off in certain panels ╥﹏╥
From the perspective of an artist, it’s not AI, it’s time crunch making the art look off
i'm seeing people call rezef a siscon... label it like that if you want ig but it's emotional incest on Rezef's end. i feel like 'sis con' is some type of weird label that takes away from a lot of the dynamic between the two(?) like if you take away the siblings label, Rezef is quite literally obsessed with her. Poor Cayena, she knows how twisted he is already but seemingly doesn't seem to fully pick up on how more possessive he's becoming...chapter 57 confirmed it for me. this is more of a brain dump than anything but i'm just so interested in their dynamic (disturbed and icked, but interested nonetheless) ok spam over
He's an extreme siscon. The thing with emotional incest that I read from irl is that they try to act like a couple. There's nothing like that from rezef.
It's like the reverse emo. incest. He just wants his sister to comfort him always like she's his mom and he's 5. He never grew up and he isn't inappropriate with her either. Nothing he does is romantic or couple like.
I may be wrong but I just can't see it. It feels like what nuns/priest do when something bet a boy and girl happens. Reaching.
I think it's fair to say that it's not a reach at all, since 'siscon' is a term almost always used to describe a situation that is in at least one way shape or form incestuous! It does not need to be physically inappropriate to meet the criteria of incest, hence my choice of the term 'emotional'. In this case, the warped feelings are in no way the same, since Cayena very much cares for Rezef like a caretaker would for their child, or in her case, younger sibling. Rezef on the other hand feels not only physically possessive towards her (wanting to not let her be far from him), but a sense of entitlement to her existence as his sibling (something like, "You're mine because you were born as my my sibling and you can't deny me my source of comfort i won't let you leave me", blah blah blah). Yes this alone doesn't 100% show that he feels anything beyond toxic (platonic) love towards her, but in my personal opinion, going off of how he's drawn when thinking, talking or just plain on being around her, I don't think I'm reaching. You're entitled to your opinion of course, since this is just an interpretation after all.
Yeah, nah. I think the west focus on romantic love makes people think that it's the only type of love or in this case, attachment. But there's all sorts of emotions and being obsessive isn't all about lust or love, it can be about friendship or a child who dislikes his younger sibling.
Physical touch is something every human being needs. Not every physical touch is sexual. She's his source of comfort of course he's going to demand it from her too.
Again, we haven't seen him grow up yet from the mental age of 5. That's why I compared it to being overly conscious of sex like nuns and priests do. Maybe he'll progress, but until I see him try anything sexual, it's still not emotional incest.
Agree to disagree.
fair enough! you make some good points :)
There are so many horrible troupes in this series. Sure, they're physically attractive characters, but that shouldn't be enough for people to look past their fictional behaviors...both of these dudes are sexual predators and overall shit human beings. The relationship dynamic is unrealistic, therefore nonrelatable and extremely toxic. Of course I know it's 'just fiction' which is why some people enjoy it or excuse it, but this just isn't...GOOD. It's just endless smut (more accurately, rape), and they're not very well rounded characters and it's a repetitive and tasteless plot without much substance. For a series that uses such horrible plot devices, there seems to be a pretty nonexistent plot altogether at this point in the series. This is all my personal opinion of course but anyways i think i'll be dropping it :p
I don't get how you're getting dislikes cuz you're straight up spitting FAX
I’ll have to disagree on you saying there’s no plot in the story, when the story is heavily built on the plot of the characterization of Tay and him discovering the truth on why his brother left him, why he’s “chosen”, and the relationship between him and llay. Saying the story doesn’t have plot and they have a toxic relationship( which I agree on and the story doesn’t shy away on the fact that llay isn’t a good person, I mean come on this dude is a mass killer and has no regards for others. Which is literally shown in the beginning) low key doesn’t make sense when we see what the manwha has to offer. You are basically calling this story a hentai which it honestly isn’t with it having like 5 sex scenes in this book . You can drop if you want but, lets not act like this story doesn’t have its moments of good writing
I agree with you right here. I feel like OP might feel that way because of the slow updates which makes some people forget the plot and focus more on the rated scenes. I actually started reading this story for the smut, and was disappointed on how little there was. But I stayed for the plot because I wanna know what happens when Tay finds his brother. With how long it takes for the story to develop, it can be seen as INCREDIBLY boring (like The Foul).
Wait how is Tae a sexual predator and bad person again? I’ve forgotten a lot, its been awhile since I’ve read this
This is so true especially with the hiatus and late uploads but yeah
I was referring to the current state of the series in regards to recent chapters. I suppose it feels a little isolated from the rest of the other plot lines recently considering the hiatus and inaccurate/slow scan releases. But you have some good points, that I do agree on ^w^
CW // SA , abuse
Tae sexually assaults Ilay before he 'disappears'. Don't remember the chapter and I can't be bothered to look lol
CRUMBS....It's just crumbs but i miss him
urgh this is to real :(( hes def my fav out of them alll
