This legitimatley has the most satisfying character and relationship development I've ever seen HOLY SHIT... ive never genuinley cared about a comics relationship as much as theirs, I want them to be happy UGHHHH
Same. I love thorough character development where you see characters genuinely care for each other. Their love story makes my heart flutter.
"Slower the burn the sweeter the redemption" pookie you slow burned Alex's redemption last webcomic and it was rlly mid, praying they've learned from Alex's arc and make JKs redemption worth it. It would be so satisfying to see him actually learn and grow as a person (slow burn style instead of fast like Alex's was) and actually fight to be better so he's somone worth Dan's forgivness
I mean, I don't understand the slow burn she's talking about. If she declared that she is in the middle of the work and the first part was 50chs slug sponge bob square pants = didn't move and full of holes.
So the second season will be very tight, giving a feeling of rush, for everything she has to do for the story to end reasonably. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
100% agree, it was less slow burn and more agonised pining with hints of sad shots of them thinking about the other — i hope with jinx it’s much more angst driven in that sense where JK actually learns how to grow as a person (highly doubt it, he’s a bitch astaghfirullah)
Can't be surprised, that's the exact formula BJ Alex followed. I hate comparing her works but you can definetly notice her weaknesses in writing just from her story formula
The bar is in hell for character development because I shouldn't be this happy to see well thought out development. JH is learning how to be a decent person because of love, it's adorable.
HOLY SHIT..... chat are we.... seeing JAEKYUNG CHACTER DEVELOPMENT?!?!?!? OH MY GOD!!!!! this is a Christmas miracle tbh, we're like 50 chapters in and we're FINALLY getting somewhere....
Next on the agenda: Dan needs to learn how to not be such a pushover, at the very least GET AWAY FROM JAEKYUNG for a minute. I get Jaekyung is like, lowkey his abuser atp so I get him being all nervous around him but.... MY GUY, YOU COULD LOSW YOUR JOB FROM THIS. SPEAK UP.
By development I mean him not abusing Dan. Him being upset is justified in this situation honestly, but ik we were all expecting him to either hit or s/a Dan, so I'd say that's at least some progress
Ikrrrrr well here if we see it correctly then dan should justify himself ofc yep jk is also in fault for not listening to him when he tried to inform him, but this little tiny bit of change is so good
The bar is so low, it’s pierced in satans ear
Fr the bar is legit in hell
I am officially headcannoning Dohu as autistic coded :P (I'm Autistic myself lolsies)
...
I'm really loving the SPOKEN CONSENT AND PROPER COMMUNICATION. It's really sad how that's not a common thing in BL, but this right here should be the standard imo. Toxic yaoi is cool and all but Bl like this should not be as hard to find as it is.
Anyways this is peak, the a charachters feel like people and have believable relationship development, not forced or rushed like alot of popular BL (COUGHCOUCH JINX COUGH COUGH.... omg smthn got caught in my throat mb homies).
Your not crazy , I agree with your interpretation , and I would also like to add that i see so many tropes in bl about specific characters and think they're autistic or autistic coded. But due to horrible preception of autism in asia ( speaking as an autistic asian myself) when they idea is bought up . It is often met with backlash by neurotypical bl folks . I would also like to quote the iconic line " he was such a genius that he became autistic" - npc talking about a random seme in a bl i forgotten about (人 •ᴗ•)
I agree. Neurodivergent at the very least
Can't wait for Potato and Dan to run away together and be cute boyfriends who love eachother and go on cute dates and hold hands. If it doesn't happen I will commit crimes. I see it as virtually impossible for specifically this author to redem Jaekying in a deservable way.... just watch i GAURANTEE they're gonna pull what they did in BJ Alex and be like "b-but I have twama from when I was widdle and now I'm a howwiblrle abusive pewson but it's otay becaws of my twama" and then he's gonna magically not be abusive after like 1 chapter of Dan justifiably leaving his ass (psa having trauma and behaving differently is okay and compleetly normal but hurting everyone around you both emotionally AND physically because of it is compleetly unacceptable behavior, and you no longer get to exuse your behavior with "but trauma" after that.)
I agree!!! I don’t even want Dan n Jae to be together!!! I just wanna see Jae in fail in despair.
You are right, this ML is very similar in personality to the one in BJ Alex!
If they say that he was abused emotionally, I will be p I s s ed too! What about the physical and emotional abuse Dan has suffered? Give me a break.
Dan and Potato forever! Or they should have let Dan get with the actor.
ON GOD! I hate how the author thinks the ML having emotional trauma automatically makes ALL the harassment and abuse (which usually is mental, physical, AND sexual. Utterly disgusting) magically disappear. Like okay, you're an asshole with trauma. What about the other ML then? They just have to suck it up and pretend they weren't literaly beat and abused? As somone who's like a heavy advocate for male justice regarding being assaulted and abused, it just annoys me that abuse and rape is so normalized in popular stories like this.
Dan x Potato is my top ngl, they'd be so adorbs (づ￣ ³￣)づ
*otp not top lol
Hmmm. I was wondering who would take the lead since both are obviously bottoms. I think Potato will step up and be the top. . However, I am still made at him for not speaking out!
They are both sweet and cute. However, both are needy too.
Can we talk about how awesome Theos charachter growth has been? He went from being (imo) compleetly unlikable to being somone I genuinely wanna see succeed and care for those around him.
I know it's not a big deal but it's SO RARE in BL for an unlikable lead to make a significant turnaround from complete asshole to softie, it makes me happy (づ￣ ³￣)づ
I meant to press the like I swear
I love him sm
WHY WAS THIS SO SHORT TF
