Surprises me that people overlook the fact that this kid is horny af, and clearly loves the abusive, horrifc sex (according to his POV during all the sex scenes)
He clearly suffers from inferiority complex and craves attention to prove his relevanve. It is therefore not possible for me to feel sorry for him as he is himself the enabler of his predicament.
Read this then say again your opinion on him. https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/14358087/
I actually quite like this refreshing take on the tsundere/doormat trope where, the uke is the tsundere. Very unique.
While I pray each episode for the strength to endure Heesuh's abuse, I have learnt to remind myself that were this a typical tsundere seme plot, I'd be lapping it all up without batting an eyelid.
So, yeah, the role reveral does make one uncomfortable, but it's actually not bad to see the seme as the doormat on the receiving end of a bad-tempered uke.
It's actually more uncomfortable if the uke is a doormat due to the power imbalance. Usually uke would be the smaller physically weaker partner. If he's to be the weak doormat too, then seem would hold all the power and uke is hopeless and at seme's mercy. In this dynamic, where seem is the doormat, the power is better balanced. The seme can't be completely hopeless, cos he can physically overpower the uke if violent situations arise.
I did say USUALLY. We're talking about Yaoi right? Just look at the covers of the top Yaoi series on this site. What do they have in common? Physically smaller uke. USUALLY smaller ppl are physically weaker right? So I'm saying, in this Yaoi uke is smaller and physically weaker, but he's not weak, he's not a doormat. Uke holds the power in this relationship and I prefer that. That's all. I'm not stereotyping or discriminating in general. I'm making an observation in the context of Yaoi. Believe me I'd love to read a more equal dynamic, switch couples even, regardless of physical sizes. Something like Haru wo Daite Ita and Thirst, is what I enjoy most. But sadly I don't see a lot of them here. There are just a lot of the stereotypical big seme x small uke in yaoi and a lot of them have the seme holding the power in the relationship
Got to be honest, I can't help thinking that Woo-Yeon deserves Woo-Jin's "punishments" as he so freaking annoying, iii-tempered and acts spoilt. It's just so hard to like him or stay in his corner I'm sorry.
While Woo-Jin is in truth very provoking, after liiving for so long with Woo-Jin, Woo-Yeon should have matured enough beyond his chilldish trantrum that Woo-Jin clearly feeds off.
While everyone dies, it sure feels a tad uncomfortable to see an entire plot built around "elective suicide". Very unique I must say. And as these are clearly the MC and ML, I'm curious to see if they both choose to live forever or die together in the end??
i think it's supposed to be uncomfortable & dystopian. I feel like this is going to be a hell of a ride.
