I feel like some people (including myself) are analyzing it from a real world point of view where there are quite a bit of things that could have been done better with the introduction of bdsm to their relationship instead of a yaoi view. but of course this is fiction and its way better than others as they actually have a safe word and stuff. I personally like it when there is bdsm I just thought that things weren't done the proper/best way (again, in a real life sense). I don't think it's noncon in any way but there are definitely a few things that are iffy. I do enjoy ash having a Dom side and seeing lyle be super cute. they are one of my all time favorite couples. I just wish they could communicate better, especially after all this time.
I agree 100%!! personally it gave me the ick ngl
bro I hate the way ash introduced bdsm to their relationship. he did everything in the worst possible way.
1. the safeword is "honey" which he knows that lyle is uncomfortable saying = less likely to safe word out when needed
2. they clearly didn't have an in-depth talk about boundaries and limits before starting. lyle honestly seems so confused about what's happening, which is NOT good.
3. their first introduction to bdsm is punishing lyle for something they never agreed was a punishable act??? like ash is doing this just to try and get lyle to tell him something he doesn't want to tell him. like, literally pressuring him.
4. when he told lyle earlier that he would let him down once he kissed his cheek and then didn't and then required a second one. = lyle cant fully trust ash to honor his safe word.
those are just what stand out to me but honestly it sucks. you know how they were always the "green flag" couple? I miss that sm. I feel like ash has so many red flags these days that he hadn't had before and poor lyle just deals with it. and its especially bad because lyle isn't super comfortable with voicing his thoughts and feeling to ash.
PLUS! he's not checking in with him throughout the scene and reminding him he can safe word if he needs to.
Exactly! Thats what i was thinking about hoping someone will point it out! Bdsm play is NOT a casual thing to do and not for everyone, Ash seems very confused and IS very uncomfortable. Whatever Ash is doing rn is not right at all
Ash? I mean Lyle is uncomfortable srry-
Frrrrrr
Thank you for saying that :D literally spitting facts I literally feel bad for lyle and on top of everything the thing he is been keeping away from him can’t be said or done at any random time :( I feel like these side stories took a bad turn
ikr? he ruined the proposal for lyle and made him super uncomfortable. It sucks cuz I was hoping that the side stories would be cute and sweet now that they had finally worked things out but instead they're... this.
I hope the author wont just make Lyle be okay with it afterwards out of being shy and trying both to be bad to his Ash. I hope he actually tells ash how uncomfortable that was and how so not nice that was, and he actually want some time for himself
Cuz in my opinion, this is too much
I hope Ash will regret what he did and realize how bad it was for lyle :( being punished cuz he wanted to propose
I am in love with this story and the art is absolutely incredible.
this was so freaking good. they communicate now! and apologize! the best ending ever. so sweet <3 excited for the side stories!!!
interesting concept and great art. thanks for translating it!
fucking hell yes! we love a verse couple!
