Let semes be poor and shy and let ukes be manipulative! Not every bottom needs to be buff or shy and not every bl top needs to be manipulative and charming.
Saying not every bottom needs to be buff is crazy considering how the majority bottoms r all twinks buff bottoms barely started getting popular lol

I was only referring to this topic page saying the buff character doesn't need to bottom because ppl wouldn't be rooting him to be a bottom if he wasn't buff.
Also "barely started getting popular" is crazy because in korean manhwas, there is a bigger trend for buff bottoms especially nowadays, if you search for the buff bottom tag and compare with twink ukes, you will be hundreds of manhwas with them, twinks were more popular in the earlier years but nowadays, they aren't much popular anymore.
Most of the twink bottom manhwas/mangas you see are either from old mangas/manhwas or are adapted from web novels. Even if they are new ones, most new releases are buff bottoms while only two or three of them are twinks bottoms. So majority of bottoms aren't really twinks anymore especially after 2018 since there is a major rise in buff bottoms so its more equal now and leans the popularity more on buff bottoms.
(This is JUST MY THEORY and its big you can ignore it) --- I personally don't think he looks like a child at all but him looking youthful could be intentional seeing how he was taken in as a child by seme's father and was basically a "art muse" and he refers to him as his master.
The poor uke was probably exploited and heavily groomed by the seme's father to be more like a art project than an actual person and having no one else by his side he probably grew up timid and sheltered. His character design was probably made by keeping his backstory in mind and how he would be more appealing to the greater masses since being super buff and normal looking would be unnatural for a person who was probably being kept as "innocent, boyish and sheltered" intentionally by some perverted and pedophillic old man and would only make him appealing to a shorter demographic. His bedroom is childish and seme intentionally taunts him by talking to him childishly (im not sure about this one) and psychology tormenting him by playing a messed up version of "hide and seek". Enoch is implied to be mute and disabled people are more likely to be victims of abuse as well.
Also the names aren't probably chosen randomly either.
Enoch (uke) means "disciplined, trained", David (art that resembles uke) means "to love/beloved" and Hector (seme) means "steadfast/to hold".
Remember, this is a genuine psychological smut manhwa written by someone who is notoriously known for writing mindfucks like code-ana and bad life. If you are here for the usual strong buff uke gets fucked by black flags go to back to c.a and bad life.
I honestly agree with mostly everything you said lol I had a similar idea too abt the uke being groomed or exploited mainly bc he refers to the father as “teacher”. And as well became the muse for the seme’s father after he discovered him (the uke) （/TДT)/
Very unpopular opinion in this topic section but the bottom is so pretty and cute, im only here for him idc much about any dark haired zhenya.
The mc looks so different compared to his novel counterpart, they lowkey did him dirty.
Do you now where i can read the Novel? I tried searching for it but nothing came up. （￣へ￣)"
ridibooks if not then booktoki, but booktoki isn't really working properly now. Also there is no english translation.
Thank you!! ☆
If you're read the novel can I ask if there's any rape in this I'm kinda paranoid and that crazy dude who killed himself is giving bad vibes
idk since i only read 2 novel chapters, but if this worries you, it is better to drop it now and come back later after there are more chapters and check the comments.
Ok thank you
Long Rant Incoming!!
I swear these people did not read the actual manhwa just saw the cover and skimped through the first chapter because the mc doesn't turn into a twink, he genuinely has the same body type for both of his lifetimes. It's just that for his first life, he looked more ordinary and in his second life, he is more handsome. The body type is very similar. He is not super buff but he is also not super skinny. If you still think he is a twink, he would be a twink in both of his lives not just one.
The shoulder length and the height are also similar. But obviously, BL readers nowadays are only interested in body types and bodyshaming (and also shaming in general) non muscular, soft-looking fictional men who do not confirm into traditionally (western) masculine build and personality.
And this is why new releases these days about two big dudes fucking instead of concrete plots that include both good plot and fucking because BL readers do not care about plot no matter how much they act it matters and even if they did, they mostly care about big masculine dudes fucking and like calling men who dare not not be super masc men 'bitches' and crybabies from the get go.
And also twink ukes aren't very popular anymore, if you think they are, you certainly are new to BL because nowadays buff ukes are the trend. And I have seen most buff uke lovers love to read manhwas that state there is a pretty uke AND STILL COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT LIKE GO THERE IS 39393939 OTHER STUFF FOR YOU WITH BUFF UKE, YOU ARE LAZY AND NOT SEARCHING PROPERLY!!!
amen
Speak your truth. People always bitch about "feminine looking bottoms" shitting them left and right, and not hear themselves being homophobic because thats the same rhetoric masc4masc gay men irl say too. And i kid you not i saw a tweet other day saying "if i wanna see dudes fucking they better be muscular". And its just disgusting to hear and see the supposed lgbt allies saying homophobic crap that bullies effeminate gay men irl.
Preach!!!
What do they care the most in the body structure as a basis of twink, when his not even that small at all.
Even his attitude or personality cannot be classified similar to most twinks in BL where they are helpless.
i feel like junghan is jaeyoung's dead brother, like when jaeyoung said him to get lost, he was like "where could i go" and other things, this is crack theory but stilll...he could've been stuck as a game character by transmigrating in it after his death. (It doesn't make much sense lmao but a person can hope ]
I get what you’re saying but time wise I don’t think so cause I doubt the game came out by that time, however ig it could be a magical element with it in manwhas nothing can be ruled out
I so hope this is true!
Yoon's eyes are soo pretty honestly
