I am a long-time reader, I love Korean webtoons and Chinese manhua so much, BL to be precise hehhehe a unique storyline, no boring chapter, the I wanna lick the ART feel ლ(´ڡ`ლ) and especially NO extreme violence, abuse or tragedy.╮(￣▽￣)╭ that I made a website. A website that i can't show to someone i know cuz they always look at me so "weirdly" but I believe those who have the same interest with me will understand this feeling of mine (●'◡'●)ﾉ I put my soul into making it and compiling the most ICONIC i've read. I wanna make a website of YAOI's too but Google might smack the life out of me AHAHAHAHAHHA
I know very well that all I've read are quite good but how I hope I also have someone to speak with on these kinds of interest
┑(￣Д ￣)┍
I am still in the process of making my website more interesting and engaging especially the design so I am so ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ but I would be so glad if you could also give "comments" on the website i created "Ms. Iconic Reader" on the lowest scroll. so I know what to improve cuz I am in this alone (〜￣△￣)〜 i am done with writing my list of readings but the battle with layout and such is like i'm facing a war literally AAHHAHAHHAHA
If anyone's interested here's my link

Rereading this made me realize so many things. One the victim blaming of the bottom??? He suffered through out the story for a lot of things?People praise the top but he was such an ass genuinely. The bottom got assaulted,abused,suffer from postpartum depression. His bonding with byul was by far normal and such a real thing. I genuinely cannot believe some readers hate the bottom?
Pretty surprised to see the comments on Lover Boy because to me it's still a great story. Yes the plot is heavy with miscommunication, ridiculously frustrating characters and the toxicity of how Jaeha is a literal walking, breathing red light during the story but has anyone wondered whether it's actually on purpose? If it hasn't hit, it is actually pretty intentional because it's a huge conflict of the story? I don't think at any point in the story that toxicity was portrayed positively: That Jaeha is clearly emotionally unavailable and that their relationship is very one-sided.
I've read enough BLs where the red flags are treated as the 'oh well that happened but not like it was that bad' but this is the one that hasn't done that. The relationship is meant to be intentionally unhealthy at the start so please hold on because the development of the characters is really nice. I'm so glad that it isn't rushed just for the sake of completing the story like so many other BLs.
Personally, a huge hook for me is conflict and I don't really see the point (in these type of stories at least )if a extremely internally conflicted character could just say whatever was on their mind. Jaeha being irrational, self critical and selfish due to his experiences is a great characterization of some very human aspects, that he isn't the typical MC that can power through their sufferings and stick closely to their moral compass. He is anything but that, someone who succumbs and prioritises himself more than anything. Human.
The eventual portrayal of his growth out from the safety that his rigid wiring of irrationality and selfishness gave him, is one form of his character development that I enjoy re-reading over and over. Imo Jaeha is a well written character and it rubs me the wrong way that a lot of people will drop it without giving him a chance.
Yes this had to be this lengthy and to anyone who gave this story and my obnoxious essay a chance, happy reading and sit tight because it's one hell of a emotional rollercoaster :)
I think him and her are gonna work at the same cafe.Pretty sure the women is gonna help telling her off and etc.Love the cafe lady!
I think when they meant forcing trauma they meant it was honestly too early for a person to open up like that.Good amount of people would honestly feel uncomfortable and go ummmm???? But she victim blame again which idk why the author is doing that for and making the fl lead a dick head
While her actions were harsh and she shouldn’t say those stuff at all.I know she’s gonna get a lot of improvement and I’m rooting for her character.But in highschool even in real life kids don’t grow up with sexual knowledge.I know couple people that didn’t know about rape/sexual assault.While people in the comments can get upset.You guys are doing too much tbh.Also a lot even men and women mostly men think that men can’t get rape/sexually harass.But again I can’t wait too see character Growth.
