I don't know why but I genuinely feel sick seeing this. Something about this is so uncomfortable and sickenining. Maybe it's because he's betraying the person who's given him his entire life and soul? The person who he's using for his own self gratification? He also showered which means the intention the entire time was to have sexual relations with this individual.
He also was laughing so I guess this is normal for him. Whats ironic is he told the other boy not to do anything with anyone but proceeds to do this with someone else.
I guess....he doesn't feel anything towards him. (Albino)
I've never felt such discomfort reading a betrayal scene before......a very weird feeling.
Also to make a note, I understand the complexity of the relationship and essentially that the albino person does not owe him a relationship that's committed. Since that type of boundary has not been set and he does not view him in a romantic way. It's still disappointing in a sense to see this type of thing occur.
He told the MC not to do anything because the MC is dead and it would be a hassle to cover it up.
I meant sexually.
Same I can’t stand that shady character to top it off and I bet he did read the results
Yes that's what I mean. He's going to sleep with someone (who will realize he's suspiciously cold) then the person might fall for him or want to hook up more only to find out later on that the person they slept with is actually dead!
Oh I get what you guys mean now!!
He gives off such bad vibes and the author said that everything they place is intention.
I bet the way he looks since day 1 I instinctively knew he was suspicious
Finally a fucking BL that shows Rape in an actual way. Not that romanticized bullshit.
EXACTLY
Bec it's from a second ML who is villain. If it's ML, it will be showed as romanticized lol
He is NOT a second ML. Second ML also implies romance. This is just a villain straight up.
Pretty sure he likes MC. Clearer in the novel. He is just abusive and prideful.
Just because he likes the MC does not make him the second ML lmao
Bro if being abusive and r*** make one not second ML or ML, then 80% of BL are ML-less haha. And you just said above that 'romace make a ML' and now you said 'just bec he likes doesn't make him ML', babe, get your things st8.
Pls don't reply anymore, I know you are probably on period. Take care of your health first instead of arguing something nonsense.
"Babe" why are you pressed? A second lead in any genre is a romantic interest. This guy is a villain, in the novel and in the manhwa this is how he is portrayed. Just because someone is interested in someone does not make them a love interest. He has never and will never be a love interest for MC therefore he is NOT the 2nd Male Lead, this is regardless of rape or if he is the kindest person in the world lmao. I'm replying because you replied babe. Go touch grass and study literature too
I always think about the fact the author thinks Ian is the worst out of all their characters. The more I read the story the more I understand why. Not only is he emotionally unavailable to Jo and playing a facade of being romantically involved without knowing what he wants. He's also trying to run after TJ who has explicitly given him multiple opportunities to achieve what Ian himself has always wanted (a normal life). Ian is a walking contradiction and someone so corrupted from his past that he fails to establish what he wants in life. Jo and Tj both have goals and aspirations in life while Ian tried to mold himself in whatever way fits. Whether it's to be TJs side piece OR Jo's fake lover, he's leading these two individuals on continuously. I feel as though he doesn't know what he wants and is dragging multiple people down in order to figure it out. Trauma can't always be used as an excuse but rather an explanation, it becomes inexcusable once it starts to harm other people.
That's so true, honestly all of them have their own fare of issues but it feels like Ian's really the worst out of them all since it does portray Ian dragging on people, I've felt that before, it's one of the worst shits that's done to me. I've experience the way that Ian doesn't know what he wants( maybe he does but he can't let go of the toxic cycle surrounding him).
Thank you for this comment, I feel like so many are missing the point that Ian is behaving in a very toxic manner. Peole claim that they like JoxIan bc it is healthy but I don’t see anything healthy in that relationship? (it is healthy only compared to sick mafia world) I think Ian brings out the worst characteristics of Jo and turns Jo jealous and obsessive. Same could be said about TJ too.. but I feel like TJ is too deep in the dark to be saved and healed.
Agree to disagree Tj and ian never had a chance to leave each other they were both young and got trauma bonded and tj just became extra possessive and made ian stick to his side with horrible decisions like putting him in jail and making him go into debt, fucking his opportunity to go to california to pursue a career out of his passion Ian clearly holds tj with sentimental value to a degree and you can’t blame him hes been his only family and the only person at that time who shown him love and affection it was twisted love and affection but it was still love and affection. Jo and ian on the other hand comes from jo infactuation and what was supposed to be a one night stand and i do agree at the start it really did look like ian was trying to be jo fake lover for like a quick fun but after recent untranslated chapters you get shown that jo just brings more stability and a softer personality for ian that was unobtainable with tj.
Ian was toxic but people can change if the right person comes along the way.
Very much so!!!!
I believe the wound bleeding and later becoming a scar is some amazing ass symbolism. It's like a mark and reminder of their relationship never being the same again.
I personally believe that everyone placing the entire blame on J.J are people who probably have been in Leo's position. I'm not saying J.J is perfect but this entire perspective that J.J never communicated how he felt is so flawed it's ridiculous and this chapter PROVES IT. Leo himself has stated J.J didn't want a vehicle but rather wanted to go on a trip with Leo. Instead of Leo respecting his wishes what did he do? Purchase a vehicle he CLEARLY stated he didn't want and when he said he couldn't go on a trip because people would recognize him HE LITERALLY had his friends call him asking to go to a local bar and he WENT. Leo has never done anything for his Boyfriend. Throughout the entire relationship he's prioritized himself and what he wanted. Whether it was taking photos when J.J said multiple times he didn't want to be photographed or when J.J didn't want to have sexual intercourse which happened in the beginning of the story he'd force him. J.J has been treated like crap the entire time. And Leo is 95% at fault for the downfall of their relationship. Everyone saying J.J should've communicated....HE DID AND LEO DIDNT LISTEN OR CARE.
I feel as though the author has a mixed relationship with Reo and his portrayal. I understand the perspective that the author uses him as a gag but I also don't think the author intends for him to be some humorous imagery completely, my reasoning is based off the other characters reactions. Almost 90% of the characters are genuinely terrified of Reo and have called him out on multiple occasions for his actions. The main characters as well have demonstrated realistic responses to assaults withstood whether it's urinating themselves or being triggered for several chapters. As much as I don't wanna admit it, characters like Reo exist in this world and Japan is known to be very dismissive of sexual assault which is why the reactions from characters are incredibly watered down at times. Moreover, this author is known to demonstrate all elements of sexual assault and it's true nature, whether it's in Yamamoto where he'll laugh off his assault and try to find humor in it or with this story as well where it's this consistent anxiety met with fear and a lack of resistance. Knowing this author and how they typically try to demonstrate all elements and reactions of victims of sexual Assault, I truly believe there is some depth to his character and his portrayal. Reo isnt a good person and even glorified himself despite all reactions and sadly, people like him exist in this world.
You can disagree since I'm genuinely open to different perspectives! Just please refrain from being aggressive ♡
I think Reo storyline means to show that rape is swept under the rug most of time. Everyone knew Reo r1pes Kuzuya but ignore it, and slut-shame him, even make him apologize after they knew he unknowingly has sex with all three family members. It's like they think because Kuzuya's into anal that it's ok when Reo gives it to him. Kasuya has the same mentality.
Yeah sadly it's something common in Japan. It's really fucked up but realistic
thank you for commenting this. i feel like a lot of readers that believe its all shock factor are missing out that the gag of reos character is supposed to be absurd and make you uncomfortable. i feel like its a direct criticism of the perpetrator that exists in real life who isnt treated as immoral and actions are downplayed while the victims who behave like kuzuya are shamed.
OF COURSE and I agree with you 10000%
It's mentioned in the precious chs how the doctor gave Mathew an Injection to get him off the high when he was drugged. He's using the same medicine for Jin.......he's not drugging him yall??
Bro HATES him and is petty as fuck. He probably got mad that Caesar tried to off himself and blamed Leewon
