It makes me sad, really, when this kind of work gets such high ratings. Characters are unidimentional and have no depth what so ever. The "evil" guys are mean just for the sake of it, no real motivations, no nothing. It's just a huge ableist excuse of a story. If you are a sensible person who doesn't enjoy mediocre fiction full of bigotry, don't read this one. It's uncomfortable and probably triggering.
You missed to see the bigger picture. Yes, it maybe not that well thought plot whatsoever. And when hyeongoh's twin's(idk his name and i don't really care) past come, I was like "what the fuck?" (Actually it was all cringe and wtf moment for me the whole manga)
But after it ends, it's just struck me that maybe the author wants to convey that sometimes, that's life. Some things just occured in the irrational ways we never thought it will be. Two twins with a fucking different fate. One with normal body but fucked up mind and environment. One with a fucked up body yet beautiful and perfect family? It's ironic yet felt very real. Sometimes, you can't choose the surroundings that made who you are. I kinda like this "hanging"/"unsolved" plot more because yea, that's what sometimes happens in life. It left unsolved. And it's just did.
Sorry for my dry point of view
Then do you have any recommendations
Honestly, the thing about the bullies being mean just for the sake of it bother me as well, but I still enjoyed the story. Sure, it wasn't that original, but I think it's worth reading.
i'm sure most bullies are mean for the sake of being mean and as a way to stroke their egos, so i was fine with it. By the end I was only reading it waiting for the bullies to get screwed over
I don't know what kind of specific manga you want me to recommend, but I have a list of mangas that I really love here; it mostly contain paychological and kinda fucked up mangas(i think you can follow lists, if I remember it correctly) http://www.mangago.zone/home/mangalist/110286/
P.s I don't think some people will agree, but I think mangas like Team medical dragon, Oyasumi Punpun, Solanin, coelacanth, Watashi tachi shiawase na jikan has THE MOST beautiful ending I love them soo much.
Yeah, I was always fine with bullies however fucked up they are in stories(not only Save Me) because I always think, 'it could be me' 'I'll probably do that too if I were in their position' lol lol
That's exactly it. I don't understand the op lol. Sadly, some people don't need any motivations for being mean other than boost their own egos and finding it funny to intimidate other people.
But I'm confused here? @op How are the characters unidimensional when the author gave each one of them their own motivations to act the way they do? You should read it again because everything is right there, friend.
you literally dont understand anything do you? ╮(￣▽￣)╭youre missing out ,reread it and try to really think k?
Well, there are actually people in real life who bullies other people for the ska eof being mean, no motivations, no nothing at all. Trust me. As long as they see that this person is different, they will make fun of the person or bully the person. Been there. Was bullied for being weird(Otaku + always looking down). That's it. They did not even stop, even tho my parents scolded them for it.
What!? No. Viktor is not a rapist. DJs need to stop romanticizing predatory behavior. Touching somebody who is unable to consent is fucking sick and Im done with it being the plot device for poorly written fiction.
ikr??
Y E E E E E E E S S S S Our Viktor is not like that mdksjdkss He was always patient with Yuri TT
I agree! Unfortunately, rape has become a norm in the yaoi community.
Uh thank you????? Viktor's character has and never will be potrayed as a rapist and it was just wtf???
Uh thank you????? Viktor's character has and never will be portrayed as a rapist and it was just wtf???
oof replied twice sorry
No wait nvm viktor is raping yuuri he didn’t give his consent
i hope the next time he does a live stream, he comments how terrible fucking a virgin was (although it's obviously Alex who sucks at sex), DG watches it and is so hurt that stops liking and talking to Alex altogather. Then Alex is doomed to broadcast thinking about DG because otherwise he won't get hard, while DG moves on.
it's complete!? I thought there was going to be another story starring the roomate and th e blonde guy. Oh well, this was great! No rapey bs and lot's of communication. The second couple was in denial a long time, but there wasn't any toxic predator dynamics like in most manhwas. Loved it!
hmm, ok. Im not very good with korean, but the next two raw chapters go roughly like this: Ban Chan is like "what? you like me? me? huh?" and Doyun is like "yeah, you are really dense though". Then he goes on about how they should end their arrangement and stop meeting. Ban Chan is like, no way, i made a promise to you, worry not. Then Doyun is all "but we are all alone in my house, you are being unconsiderate, you know my feelings for you, i have needs, im a man, blablabla". He's being all angsty and gross alfa predator because, who knows, manhwas, and Ban Chan gets all scared, kicks him in the groin and leaves. Later, they become really awkward. DoYun can hear Ban Chan talking about him with his classmate and everything is weird between them. Ban Chan later decides to go work at Doyun's house and wonders if he remembers about the confession, since he was a little drunk. DoYun is working on a report and gives him the cold shoulder. Ban Chan can't stand the awkwardness and asks what his favorite food is because he wants to make it for him. Doyun is all like "dude, what's your deal" and says he will ask for the last time if Ban Chan feels nothing at all. Instead of answering Ban Chan is all like "should we kiss?" and Doyun jumps at him. They kiss while Doyun pushed Ban Chan towards the counter, he asks him to wait, then Doyun says that if he doesn't like it, to push him away, but they kiss again. When they pull away DoYun is crying and Ban Chan freaks out. DoYun says that when the kiss ends they can go back to the way they were before and Ban Chan is like "nah-ah, im kinda confussed but i liked it". They hug and DoYun is groping Ban Chan's ass and the dialogue there was really confusing so i didn't really get it, but Ban Chan didn't deslike it, or so it seems. The rest of the chapter was a blurr and really hard to understand. I haven't read the rest yet because i take forever. I might be mistaken about some things, but thats overall what went on.
Thank you! <3 Now I can finally sleep tonight knowing that DOYUN'S LOVE FOR BA CHAN IS RECIPROCATED! (▰˘◡˘▰) They are so adorable together and you are a wonderful person for kindly providing us (impatient readers) with a much-needed spoiler.
Thanks for your hard work <3. But i don't understand...why would Chan go and tell tale to his friends. It just didn't seem in his characters.
He wasn't really telling her what went on. She asked about them hanging out and such, since they did go to the movies and all. Then Doyun came and heard his name.
So, in this dj Viktor is a rapist. Way to kill great characters and their healthy relationship.
this had so much potential up until episode 30 or so. But no, they had to ruin a great story by adding unnecessary drama wich didn't even make sense anyway. I hoped eventually we would get the different character's POVs and everything would finally make sense, but no, it's like the writer intentionaly wanted to fuck up with us or something. Ugh.
I agree the writer is making a mess of the story by adding to many unrequited love -_-
I think Junoh needs to properly move on from liking tinky winky in order to be with Minoh. That's why he Asked him to be patient, he likes Minoh, but needs to be able to leave his first love and first broken heart behind in order to commit fully.
Oh no... YuYang is going to get pissed.
