Hmm, I can take stories like these. Personally, it's not a waste of talent on the author's part either. If anything, if people are getting affected by the plot, it just means the story is so heavy and gut-wrenching that it has proven how well written it actually is. Obviously, like any other stories or movies, not every script or plot would be in everyone's interest. The author has presented clearly that it's for audiences that has tastes in these or those who are intrigue enough to read it. It's so dark and mind breaking, it's clear that just because it's bl and had good art, doesn't mean it's going to be in the range of usual romance bl or red flag stories like jinx that most would expect nowadays. Plus, it's clear that the story is purposely kept short with a few chapters, it wasn't going to exceed any longer unless the author plans on doing so. And it's focused more on the uke's pov, his purpose in life, fear, and the fact that his past memories with his boss is what kept him from betraying the seme and keeping that principle despite the fact that his sanity is slowly degrading throughout the years, thus makes the story even more intriguing considering how much he tries his best to continue surviving in order to save someone (Personally ofc. Btw, don't go yapping about "how bad my tastes are" by replying to my comment, move elsewhere because it's obv how easily triggered you are if you think people can't have preferences, keep your business out from mine). I'm quite curious about the seme's pov and reasoning but this is pretty much the end of the story. It's sad seeing people say that the author wasted their talents for this manwha but I don't see anything here that showcased how they've possibly wasted anything whatsoever when they've drawn the expression, gesture, and the atmosphere of each panel consistent and expected of in a heavy plot. It's a good 7-8.5/10 for me.
Honestly, Taeso clearly stated his boundaries and didn't lead Yeomin into further misunderstanding of their relationship upon hearing Yeomin's confession. He's quite a green flag, he knew he won't be interested in entering a relationship and had Yeomin's consent for the sex they had, plus (if I remember correctly) he even aplogized because his behavior made Yeomin misunderstand to avoid firther complications. He made his boundaries clear. I'm looking forward to the chasing arc, he clearly likes the uke slowly but surely.
Surprising how people still think that this story has rape in it.
'cause it has, he raped him and seduced him with his good looks and the baby... he also imprisioned him if i am right.....and none of that would be excused if he was not how he looks or less handsome
Chapter 53-54, now this chapter explains what really happened when Hosik got drunk and was allegedly raped by Sungyeon. I pity Sungyeon Sunbae a little bit. It was consensual, but Hosik forgot about it because of getting drunk and passing out; that’s why he thought Sunbae raped him. While Sunbae thought they confessed their love for each other and start dating. Thus, I don’t blame the readers for thinking that Sunbae raped Hosik from the first few chapters. Even I thought, so, too. But as you read the whole story, you will understand it was really consensual all along.
He raped him, you can’t consent when you’re that drunk. Sunbae was sober and knew hosik wasn’t but still came onto him, anyone with morals would lay off he’s consistently manipulative cmon
