I'm only on chapter12, but I had something kinda fun to share. I'm an artist/crafter and was inspired by this story but not in the way you'd imagine. When you first meet the S class esper, he's wearing his uniform. I was immediately interested in the design...
of the besides root on his shoulder lol. I analyzed it for hours and after 4 tries and 4 failures,I was able to not only make it, but figure out how to do so without looking at the photo! I still need to look at it to remember how to start it out, but once I get in the groove, I can make it as long as I want without even having to open tmy web browser!
Anyway, not meaning to brag so much as just being super proud of both the artist for drawing something so complex that is actually Marielle irl, but myself for having figured it out without having to be taught!
God I love this story so, so much! Theo is so beautiful and the storyline is amazing. I got some reason thought it was over so I'm super happy I was wrong!
but not when they share in sexually abusing others like this.
Personally, I was holding for some insane redemption arcs but was never under even a wisp of a delusion that this story had anything to do with love. Thing is, it could have.
This could have easily been about how the top dog dude was so messed up because he wasn't really human (although I'd make it turn out that he totally is, he's just been genetically messed with to combine him with the monsters to make him a super esper), he has never learned how to treat someone he loves because he's only ever known the cold sterilization and ruthless accuse brought on by the center's medical malfeasance and unnaturally hardcore training, and he had been taught to always use any means necessary to get what he wants, never learning how to not be a literal sociopathic psychopath. Not to mention his emotions and hormones being skewed toward sex being a tool he uses for literal healing, and not emotional fulfillment.
He could have started out similarly, but upon learning that although holding mv's brother medically hostage got mc in the vicinity, and technically in his arms, he needed to know how to get what he realized he _really_ wants, to be loved back. So he starts to learn how to love someone and hope to differentiate sex for healing and sex for combined pleasure.
I'm the interim, and because his crazy had previously influenced the other 3, this change also starts to influence them. They see how mc still hates them but is warming up to him, the biggest psycho out of the bunch.
All together they learn the meaning of friendsh... er, how to actually respect, well, literally ANYONE and the ones who do live, are ever so slightly less fucked up together.
I only wrote all of this out because it's how I've decided it ends. I'm out guys. I just can't since the blood. Most of this is so unnecessary and although I was loving the non-rape related plot, I lost the last bit of hope with Mr.. Mittens (gloves, technically I guess lol) beating mc for literally zero reason whatsoever. I told myself that if the next chapter had even the slightest inkling of plot at all, Is keep reading.
Nope.
I might come back at the end and skip through the rape just to get the closure, but I'm officially dropping this otherwise.
It hurts, there was so much potential.
Don't miss me too much.
Yeah, this scene was hands-down one of the worst in the novel. It goes back to the main plot right after this and after that there’s only two more sex scenes IIRC, both of which are with Shinje and one of which Yugeon initiates. We’re very close to the end, actually.
Raaaaaaawwwwgggggrrrrrrrr. I guess I'll keep reading, but what I wrote is still my new official headcannon and no one can stop me! Mwahahahahahahahahha!
Cough.
Nooooooo black rabbit! I'd totally have had started baby cpr the second he came out and wasn't responding. I NEED MOAR PLEHS!
I love this so far but it drives me a little nuts how often characters just blatantly dismiss or condemn other characters with literally zero period of their crimes/failures. I had to stop reading a mafia×lawyer because the characters both had aholes whispering in their ears and one was at least smart enough to try to have a discussion where the other kidnapped and subsequently raped the other. I can handle rape in a story of its relevant and over all effect makes the story better. This thought was completely baseless and with absolutely unnecessary to the story imo we've already established the character was crazy and violent. Don't take away what was literally his only redeeming quality.
I know I'm ranting about a different manhwa but it always starts with a massive, completely unfounded assumption that came from a field so far off to the left the right is calling it ”woke”.
IT WAS SUCH A GOOD STORY UNTIL THAT POINT. LIKE WHY!? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO WRITE THAT IN?????
I KNOW RIGHT?!?!? I hope with this story at least, it's just a passing comment and he's proven wrong really quickly. I'm in need of a guide story where there is some wholesomeness to it. I mean I'm reading one that is actually not rapey so far but jeez, can we have some passionate tattoo where someone isn't being forced? Curious people do exist.
Ugh, I hardcore feel that.
What one was that?
Roses and Champagne. I had to go look it up. It was SO good at first too and with the one turn I just couldn't read it anymore. There was absolutely no excuse for that BS
I mean he's psychotic, we knew what we were signing up for personally
I read ahead in the raws and it gets worse too
Maybe if he didn't spent the majority of the time telling him he wouldn't do anything until the other character was ready. You can buy a psycho in every way except sexually and I hoped that was going to be the case. I love a good little psycho. For example, The Beast Must Die is probably one of my favorite manhwas and he's literally a psychopath, and he treats his partner quite well considering. Everyone else however...
Emo kids got nothing on Manwhaka-ssi. Frickin edging is like this after forcing us into a dry spell. Cumm ooooooon!!!
lol
I spelled that wrong :/
LITERALLY teasing us like this ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
what's that you've got in your hand there sir?
Oh, it's:
MURDAH!
Murdah murdah murdah murdah
Your demise~
so possessive lovers aren't usually my thing as they so frequently go hand in hand with dubcon, but fuck Ash is so goddamned hot with this much confidence!
