With no character development, JK swoops in to save the day???
At least try to give him a redemption arc first.
Am I supposed to forget all the abuse??? I haven't been given a reason to maam.
Seeing the abuser's pov while they hunt their fav victim is hilarious when it's fictional.
Bro is delusional. Sexual chemistry???
And can we please kill the "mega asshole fuckboy seme gets impotent then only gets hard for the uke" trope? Who asked for it anyway?
The horse thinks rape is good sexual chemistry
your pfp is something else tho
REALLLLL like wtf is a chasing arc??? Leave him ALONE he don't want your cuckoo ass
earth to @Gold Mine , what r u reading here?? it's yaoi romance tagged, author didn't make a Documentary program here :)
I know it's a romance, and I'm aware that this will most likely end up with Jaekyung and Dan ending up together, I'm more than happy to stay and witness that journey, but I am allowed to voice my complaints about the inconsistencies (shit that don't make sense) I find in the storyline
I don't get it am a dumb dumb po
Who keeps asking for the amnesia trope? Put your hands up, I just wanna talk (๑•ㅂ•)و
I can't even be mad at Sejin because he's a victim of abuse. Victims tend to bond with their abusers.
It is not shocking that he'd feel protective of the people that abused him. It's not shocking that he blames himself for the abuse like saying he just needs to not get hit.
BUT, I am so frustrated by how easily he's ready to villainize Ido to keep the trauma bond going.
I get being upset with Ido (again, he's a victim) but Sejin is straight up cooking up deviously evil hypotheses about Ido's motivation.
SEJIN, THAT MAN IDO LOVES YOU, PLEASE CUT THIS SHIT THE FUCK OUT. PLEASE (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
I think a happy ending is tj and Ian developing as people and getting over their past guilt. Work through the trauma individually and together.
If they decide to stay single, great. If they end up together,, also great.
I can't ship Jo with Ian long term tho. Ian is damaged and Jo is a people pleaser. Jo will put himself last in everything. Ian is too in his own world and emotionally stunted to be a good partner to someone like Jo.
If everyone ends up single but better people, I'll be happy. But we know that's not happening.
I'd rather ship tj and Ian together because they have more raw chemistry and it's more balanced.
IanxJo would just make me sad for Jo.
Maybe the author will do something to change them each as people. We'll see.
Love alone doesn't justify a relationship from my pov.
"tj and Ian developing as people and getting over their past guilt. Work through the trauma individually and together"
That's what readers can't fathom, two adults working on a relationship, fixing the problems they have as individually and together. Sometimes a relationship is worth saving, sometimes it's not but it all comes down to trying.
Yaoi heavily focuses on romance but it isn't neccessary for a relationship.
Tj and Ian development their current relationship through shared trauma. If they no longer want to be intimate after resolving that, that's fine.
They could be friends or just move on separately.
I've been reading yaoi/BL for over a decade at this point. I crave more stories where the characters are allowed to resolve deep rooted issues.
They get thrown into deeply traumatic situations but at best simply accept.
Acceptance is just the first step to processing trauma and other issues. I'd love to see more authors not just traumatise their characters for the hell of it.
I'd love to see more characters accept, process and push through their past/traumas.
When is the uke gonna find out about that bet...
oml i thought he already knew
Nauuuurrr I completely forgot about the bet.
I hope the author forgot too.
I will be destroyed if this gets brought up again. All that progress gone.
Every update, I live in fear of the author turning things upside down by popping the info.
That bitchy friend could let something slip too. Saying a silent prayer that that plot line is dead.
girl lowkey I still want drama hahahaha, so I want the bet to come up again. but tbf I don't think it'll cause that much damage? since maybe uke trusts seme that greatly. so like, it'll be an acceptance/blessing kind of thing like "oh, atleast that's the reason why fate put us together" or sum shit lol
The uke is a big softy. Finding out your bf was only interested in you because of a bet??? That's gonna be a big deal. They'll get through it but I just know the uke is gonna cry.
honestly I'm just being optimistic bc like this happened to other manhwas too where there was a big secret that was revealed but their relationship was already strong so it was just whatever. hopefully that's the route. but I still want drama
Lmao at you wanting drama
Now I low key want drama just so you can have it. I hope you smile today internet stranger.
You made me giggle ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
let's gooo ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Lmao, not you getting me hype for heartbreak ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
I get why shin is mad but thug or not, we all saw jake put a gun in someone's ass and pull the trigger.
That was not fake.
Lmao literally, like how we just gonna forget that?
Ikr, like even if jake isn't a gangster he still did some weird shit. I would even be more scared lmao.
Can't tell if he's pissed he was lied to or disappointed jake isn't a crazy, dangerous gangster
LMAOO
I would say he's upset at Jake for realizing so late about his identity
What is there to be mad about. If he heard everything, he heard his bf defend their relationship at every turn. If this becomes an issue that drags on I'll be pissed.
