They’re playing it for laughs but the father basically put out a rape-hit on his own son. All for a grandkid. It’s such an unnecessary plot element too, could have just as easily had it be whoever marries his son, not forcefully impregnates him. Kind of hard to enjoy the “comedy” manga when we know the father’s vile actions are going to be forgiven and laughed off because muh grandkids. Ugh
Nakwon planning to isolate and purposefully get Mokwha drunk in order to have sex is rape. He’s planning a vacation centered entirely around the idea of raping Mokwha. What happened to his growth? This shows that he hasn’t really changed. He still thinks he can do whatever he wants to Mokwha, justifying it by thinking anything non-violent is fine. Really, really hope Mokwha beats some sense into Nakwon and everything comes crashing down around him. He only sees his past actions as wrong because he did them to someone he likes now. He still does not, at his core, think violently raping someone is wrong. Only that now his violent past is standing in the way of his current goals.
Going to continue reading because the writing does give me some small amount of hope that karma will come back to bite him and Mokwha will dump him for good. (Or at least for a long time)
They really went the route of making MC be the one to apologize and comfort the garbage ML who HAS been treating MC like trash. I cannot understand what enjoyment anyone could get out of this story or its characters. This chapter proves there will be no reverse chasing arc and MC will always be the one who puts in the most effort. This is such a frustrating read and I hope anyone who decides to engage with this garbage knows to respect themselves more than MC. I’m honestly surprised he was able to chase after ML for so long considering he has no spine.
ML became unredeemable the moment he raped MC. No dubious consent, this was a “sleep with me or your brother will be hanged” situation. Him raping her was not for her own protection, it did not further his political goals, it was done purely to satisfy his own lust and desire to own MC. He does not love her, he does not see her as her own person. She is an object, at best a pet, that can potentially deliver him a vague feeling of happiness.
Best analogy: ML is a fucking Burgan who eats trolls. A monster who, after discovering a source of happiness, would fucking eat it and destroy it forever just for a fleeting high, instead of trying to understand the source of said happiness and nurture it. He’s a monster and the FL staying with him basically rewrites her character as a dumb girl who will forgive anything for a pretty face.
I sympathize with his past, but he’s self-sabotaging AND trampling all over the seme’s feelings. He gives the man 0 consideration and even knows the way he treats seme hurts him. This isn’t a lack of communication, this is actively ignoring any attempts to communicate and lashing out at the person who tries. This crossed the line from trauma response meant to protect, and into a petty pity-party. Would love for the seme to fully give up on uke. Maybe give him a piece of his mind and a wake up call… but that isn’t going to happen. This is going the: the seme is a doormat and keeps coming back to uke until the uke eventually gets over himself.
Very worried they’re going the “dad gets away with everything” route and is forgiven. The borederline comedic way they handled his “my bad” to torturing children makes me wish the author had chosen a lighter topic for their past if all they really wanted to focus on was pretty top beefy bottom porn. (Should have guessed tho when mc’s fear of dogs is also mostly used as a comedic gag even after the reveal of why)
How they’re eventually going to sweep under the rug that at his core, the ML is the type of guy to blackmail someone into sleeping with him (aka rape). Even if he seriously falls for MC and treats him “better”, it doesn’t change the type of man he is.
I will remove this comment and even apologize and praise author if it goes another way. (If there are consequences for rape or if the ML realizes his actions are wrong bc rape is wrong, and not just cause he likes MC now)
I feel like an incel would read this to confirm everything they think about women.
Was just thinking how MC was a total creep and loser- he became a teacher to be fawned over by teenage girls, he revolves his self worth over how dateable teenage girls find him, dude was a walking future statutory charge. Not saying this justifies him being assaulted, but in the fictional world I definitely care infinitely less about him knowing this cliche blackmail plot is taking the place of “how hot minors find me” as his number 1 priority.
If black hair is the uke… I want a real dominant bottom. Not one who acts dominant in the relationship then turns into a blushing kitten during sex, or take charge for .2 seconds then it’s all aggression from the top. Happens waaay too often in stories labeled “dominant bottom”. So far the only one to do it right is pizza delivery guy. Please let this be more like that.
Need extras. Is it just a fuck buddy thing for 2 weeks? Would love for uke to learn his ex cheated on him. He needs to get away from that family they’re both horrible people (though I have slight sympathy for how seme turned out, what chance at being a good person did he have with a mom like that). This feels very incomplete. Lot of loose threads and no good reposition. Wouldn’t mind a spin-off with uke as MC learning to respect himself.
FL has all the personality of a wet blanket. She makes what should be a spicy story so boring, doesn’t help that she’s also incredibly dumb.
Usually I really appreciate facial hair in yaoi since it’s so rare, especially on the uke. But the artist really went out of their way to make it look like chopped pubes glued to a chin.
(Also don’t like how wish-washy the uke is, or how he threatened to cheat.)
Are beastman real in this universe, or is that beast form now the ML sees himself. He’s a furry and that’s his inner fursona? Bc if the latter, that’s hilarious and I love it. Actually want more semes who are normal and successful on the outside, but actually closeted weirdo losers on the inside . Coupled with their tolerant, competent uke. It’s a funny dynamic.
The seme is just canonically bad at sex and the uke just learned to endure. Don’t love that for him. This is also a scenario where one of the characters wants to switch, like genuinely would love to top the seme. And they just… dont? For no reason other than the weird strict “top and bottom” BL rules that exist for some reason. And still don’t like the seme. Likely never will. His inability to be considerate in bed and just constantly wallowing in his own self-pity is annoying. He only considers his own pleasure during sex and it shows deep down what a selfish and self serving person he is.
I will NEVER understand the yaoi trend of making the victim, the person who was tortured and raped, be the one to chase after and comfort their abuser bc it’s revealed the abuser has a sad backstory. The backstory wasn’t even bad enough or in no way explained why this man suddenly thought “guess I’ll drug and rape my childhood crush”. There was 0 redemption, 0 effort from the seme to actually earn forgiveness. He just gets it gift wrapped to him. If the rape was going to be so easily glossed and gotten over, it didn’t need to be there. Seme could have just confined him while still giving him the omega drug, without rape. And NOTHING would change because the rape doesn’t impact how the uke feels about the seme at all (being in love with him after everything bc the author said so, not because it made sense). What a waste of time this was.
This one more than others really felt like a lot of development was missing when the sex scenes were cut. That’s because these sex scenes follow plot beats and character development. They have actual dialogue that is more than sex sounds. Going to pause on reading though and wait for it all to come out for a good binge session.
“Anyway, how’s your sex life?” - Woomin literally the day before to a man he barely knows and what he DOES know is that he hates touch and getting close to people. Doc has every right to avoid him. He’s no different from the creepy guys who hit on baristas at work.
Why is the author having everyone guilt trip the uke for not immediately trusting and relying on the man who raped him and doesn’t care if they’re caught fucking in front of his daughter? Like, the author is painting the uke like he’s the one in the wrong. AND they had him fall for seme just… because? Bet anything the uke apologizes to seme. This is trash writing. I think this actually meets the definition of romanticized rape.
