just realized the artist, Gongben, who is working on the serialized version is NOT the artist for “The Reason Why Raeliana Ended up at the Duke's Mansion.” That artist is Whale, who only did the pre-serialized version(like, the pilot ep). According to the MTL of the authors note, this is Gongbens first webtoon series ever

yall need to chill with this unnecessary competition. Please accept that the author knows how to write good couples and neither of them are better than the other. i understand u have a preference for dynamic and thats okay, but theres no need for u to proclaim every ch that “couple x is better than couple y.”

you’re telling me he TRICKED both seyeong and us(the readers) into believing he became a top-ranking player through fast reaction time/skills alone?!?? HE WAS ACTING ALL HIGH AND MIGHTY like seyoung was the inferior one for depending on items to level up WHEN HE HIMSELF WAS USING THEM TOO?!? this MOTHERF*CKER—-
im not a gaming expert so thats why i believed him but ARE YOU FORREAL BRO BACK THE FCK UP YOU DESERVE THE HATE SEYOUNG TREATS U WITH
Honestly, Seyoung before he develops any feelings for heejae is REAL AF for everything cuz from the beginning that mf heejae also excels at PISSING ME OFF. that face with his abnormally proportioned balloon manboobs will NEVER take my anger away. if only he wasnt big/buff as hell for no reason for a chronically online gamer then seyoung coulda jumped him and beat him up.

oh im not saying he wasnt a good player, he definitely is. But the fact that he made it seem like he didnt need ANY armor or help just sheer player skill to get to where he is now and was making fun of seyoung for not being “as skilled as he is” and relying on equipment when he used it too upset me. And seyoung is also a skilled player, he’s just not as good as heejae due to the difference in experience. becuz, u know, he has an office job, a life outside the game that he has to attend to. Heejae’s job as a longtime streamer only adds to his experience. If Seyoung had the same amount of time(cuz he has the same amount of obsession with the game) i think he would’ve eventually caught up to where Heejae ranks. without his help.
Heejae acknowledges this when he recognizes that “sesam” is not a new player, and when he grows manically happy when he is surprised by seyoung in combat.He’s even surprised that by seyoung’s equipment, because judging by “her” playing, the equipment should by more advanced. He saw potential in seyoung and decided to force him to level up after his office job(which woulda pissed me off as well, but seyoung obviously loves the game enough to agree to torture like this)

heejae was probably just trolling, making good content for his edgelord strem videos, i wouldn't say “judge“ in a way that he actually looks down at people who relies on expensive equipments, but more like just a fun way of teasing or messing with them. it's not like he had this superiority complex that is similar to this league of legends meme that says, “skin, with no skill”. it's basically looking down at people who buys expensive skins in league but can't make up for it with their gameplay. aside from the first chapter, i don't there has been any situations where he displays such behaviour, where he judged people for their items (unless i missed it).
i also acknowledged seyoung as a good player, just pointing it out there unless you think otherwise.
lastly, i really do not get what you're upset about since i don't really think it's that much of a big deal? i'd tell you to relax again but each to our own, i guess. i have no malicious intent, i'm just saying that i genuinely don't get it. i already typed a paragraph explaining my side over a bunch of pixels, i'm ending my reply here since i don't want to start a debate with you here. i'm glad you're passionate about the things you enjoy, this manwha i'm assuming, but i just hope it doesn't raise your blood levels too high. take care ┐(´ー`)┌

oh no, no debates needed, im good, i just love to react extravagantly in generous paragraphs to manhwa/manga chapters in general. especially if a chapter/character made me feel something for real. like a real, visceral reaction. there’s not a lotta people irl that i can discuss these things with so i often write a lot when i get super passionate.
i also am bad at summarizing what i think and holding back in my comments and ig it might seem like too much lmao. i cant help it i need to explain in detail, i never wanna be misunderstood, even if its not that serious.
and i know u wont reply, but to amend my previous statements:
maybe its the way i perceive things, but im just saying, that if, hypothetically, heejae were someone i met irl, he would still peeve me off. maybe he is just trolling, or teasing but I, like seyoung, would be peeved. i KNOW he’s not real, but i can imagine~
idk,maybe its weird, but when i get immersed in works of fiction i like to TALK about it: how i relate with it, my thoughts, reactions etc. anyways if u read up to here thanks for responding to me. its fun to discuss things like this.

“u see when i blindfolded you and ignored your requests to stop and continued without your consent, it was a teaching moment, mr cha. thats how i feel when i feel like u dont have sex with me out of love.” B*TCH, NO, THIS HOW HE FELT WHEN U R*PED HIM THE FIRST TIME—he just forgot because he’s INSANELY LENIENT with you. he’s an enabler and a victim because u guys are two unhealthy people in an extremely unhealthy codependency that we all know is gonna explode but
gad*mmit cha taekyung has body some nice tiddies and he is one cute looking mf i just wanna wrap this grown mf into a blanket burrito and take him away from this pretty ass psycho. heeso in luv with taekyung is like a kid hugging a cat too tightly around the middle and swinging it side to side, and then he cries when it scratches him and runs away because he doesn’t understand why the cat didn’t like that. Unfortunately, theres no one around that will tell him why

i dont know u well yet morisaki but i wish you victory and know based off your reactions so far that you will be a great match for our grumpy boi shouma. perhaps your relationship will be like tarou(red hair) and hanako(green hair w/ glasses) from Wotaku ni Koi. If yoshino gets married to someone else anyway. which is how its lookinggggg σ(^_^;)

would not make things better but i feel like things would make more sense if the author made woojin(younger brother) a sadomasochist that has both sadistic AND masochistic tendencies, just to explain why he never fought back and somehow still “liked” his bro when they were younger and the beat ups were about grades and insecurities and less about woojin being one manipulative, obsessive, mf. it would also explain why he continues to stick to him, even after wooyeon’s attempts to verbally and physically beat it into him that he hates him.
i guess i dont like how the author is framing woojin’s character to be like, “oh, i was an innocent young boy who loved and respected my brother, but he was mean and didnt pay attention to me so i turned into something terrible! :0 if only he cared for me like i did for him!” like, b*tch, “something terrible”?! you’ve r*ped him, isolated him thru indirect bullying, and you’re tryna say “sibling fights” from childhood was your villain origin story?? nahhhhhhh stahp right there.
but idk maybe the author is tryna do some “unreliable narrator” sh*t, who knows.
also i think parenting went wrong somewhere cuz there are deeply seated issues for both brothers that communication coulda solved. maybe the parent that was closest to wooyeon(older bro) coulda sat him down and been like, “honey talk to me whats wrong? you weren’t like this before why are u being so cruel to your brother?” maybe take him on a roadtrip of one-on-one parent-son bonding to coax the truth out of him idk. just separate the two and talk to each of them individually cuz wooyeon didnt even wanna look at his brother. then both parents mediate between the two kids from there.
that old best friendo is a PSYCHO. i know we should leave him in the past cuz if thats wut skylar wants then okay, but—-okay even if u felt like your “friendship and brotherhood” was betrayed by him giving you one nonconsensual peck on the lips while he was drunk, WHO in their GADAMN RIGHT MIND would respond by leading a group of guys to beat him up and g*ngr*pe him while u fuckin watch?!? like, 0 to a FUCKIN HUNDRED much?!?! not to even mention destroying his whole social life with the rumors… im actually still shocked like he is actually a good fckin actor to be hiding those PSYCHOPATHIC TENDENCIES during their almost TEN YEAR relationship. you EVIL MOTHERFUCKER i hope you end up jobless, no highschool diploma, friendless, bald, and live a THOUSAND TIMES more lonely and miserable than u made Skylar for the REST OF YOUR LIFE until you die alone in an alley with no one to even see or care for your body before the rats and vultures come to eat away at the remains. And i hope in your last moments, you remember the friend that would’ve cared had you not thrown him away and stepped all over him like you did. I hope the regret eats away at you more than the rot does.
I'm sorry i accidentally voted thumbs down but i agree
I hope he feels the need to sneeze all the time but every time he's about to, it's gone
Hope he gets arrested for a misdemeanor and raped in prison
Wait, they r*ped him? I thought they just ripped his clothes off (to humiliate him) and beat him up, since it was in a school classroom after all. I didn’t think it was a gang r*pe
No, they didn't gang rape him, this person just misinterpreted the scene.
Can people stop spreading misinformation? They didn't gang rape Skylar, they only took off his clothes to humiliate him and beat him where it's not visible. The right word to use is "sexual assault". Forcing someone to undress is sexual assault not rape. They did "gang bang" him though.
That’s what I thought. Still what they did to him was sick
Not sexually but physically and they sort of acted like a gang.
well….the guy said “hurt him in a way no one can see” then they all ripped off his clothes to do *inexplicit things to him that required them to hold him down* so…and it is (unfortunately) not an uncommon bl trope in angsty or violent stories like these so my mind just made that conclusion. could be wrong ig. i want to be wrong (ToT) but the imagery is similar so…idk idk…def still a form of SA tho
No, pretty sure they said to “beat him where no one can see”, took his clothes off (which is SA) to beat him up in places that his clothes cover. I’m like 95% sure it wasn’t r*pe. It was also in a classroom too. U right, that trope in BL is common (especially as a fetish/fantasy, not actual trauma), but I don’t think that’s the case here.
Yea, I never said it wasn't sick. They made Skylar's life a living hell.
Don't worry they didn't rape him and it wouldn't make sense if they did since they were homophobic.
I know, I know! I’m just commenting on it
"Hey that's enough, his mom and my mom know each other, if they find out about this thing'll get annoying"
"Unless you do it in a way that wont show"
They never said beat him up in a way that wont show, this line is closer to what the other person said which is "Hurt him in a way that wont show" and then they cut to 1 of them bent in the front and another one bent over near his head
I'm 95% sure that indicates rape, it's a semi common bl trope to have homophobic characters rape the mc so it doesn't matter if they're homoplphobic.
Then again this could all be interpreted as just a beating, so I'd say it's left to the reader to decide.
But we have seen this author have the balls to give Cirrus such a horrid backstory so I wouldn't be surprised if it was confirmed that he was gangraped.
Don't try to get on someone for spreading misinformation when the info you're spreading is just as incorrect, ya'll both can be right here ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
Really? I guess up to interpretation then. I think it indicates beating up, I just seen this type of thing in webtoons a lot, like “do it in a way won’t show” so they beat the victim on stomach etc. or undress someone for humiliation. I feel like if it was rape it would have been indicated in a clearer manner like with cirrus
Ohhh I see, yeah I tend to see alot of the opposite (I don't usually read webtoons) where there's a homophobic character and they get their goons to rape him while they watch or somethin
They didn't rape him and you're the one giving misinformation? Lol Read the chapter again, they were beating Skylar up then Skylar's ex best friend told them to not hit him in the face because his mother will find out and that he doesn't want any problems so they should do it where it's not visible.
You're overanalyzing a straight to the point scene, stop being delusional. Everything that happened was told to us in the chapter itself.
Please inform me where it told us directly that he was beat up, I quoted the chapter directly, you can look for yourself. Back your info with proof before calling me delusional. #-.-)
I get it, seen something similar before
Are you blind or something? It's in the damn chapter, you moron.
Well, if reading comprehension is hard for you , I'll show you the "proof". While they were physically beating on him, Minwoo said to stop because his mother and Skylar's mother are friends and if they find out about what they are doing, it'll cause problems and it'll be annoying. Unless you do it in a way it wouldn't show. Then they took Skylar's clothes off to physically abuse his body instead of his face and to humiliate him. Did you see all the bruises on his stomach?
What they did wasn't "rape", it was sexual assault, physical assault and slander.
