Trigger Warning - Gang Rape, Child Abuse, Gore
I seriously don't know how to feel about this. I cringe every time Pil gyun calls Nanmu dad since they are in a relationship. I would not tag this with grooming though, since Nanmu never had that intention when Pil gyun was a kid.
The story is interesting though. Strong seme and uke characters. Trauma and emotions are also written very well. Really disgusted with Pil gyun's actual dad, mom and step dad. He went through severe abuse during his childhood which totally impacted his personality.
I did not quite understand the correlation between a decapitated head and sex dolls. Once the person is decapitated, he is dead right? Or is this necrophilia.. Yuck _:(´ཀ`」∠):_
So the disgusting excuses for humans, the queen and younger brother want to drug him, make him go into heat? during the ball and take advantage of that to rape and mate with him? Yuck _:(´ཀ`」∠):_ Since Limon is the crown prince, the queen wants the younger brother to marry the crown prince so that he can take over the kingdom? It's already shown in a previous chapter that the younger brother wants to "help" Limon with his heat. Yuck _:(´ཀ`」∠):_ I wish Limon would stop pretending to be weak and pummel these disgusting pieces of shit into the ground.
I stopped reading this for a while so that the story would progress a little and I come back to this?
Also, there is some serious issue with pacing in this work. Literally nothing of significance happens during the chapter, then a bombshell is dropped at the end of the chapter and then a cliffhanger. I am starting to believe that this work attracts so much attention just because of Limon's undisclosed secondary gender and the cliffhangers..
Trigger Warning - Child Rape
Another story I picked up today which has Child rape. I am really sick of this...
Again with the Light Haired seme with r@pe as back story trope. Sick of this too.
Including this till date I came across 41 such manga where the light haired seme was r@ped as a child or was prostitute. This is against 10 such manga where black haired seme was subjected to such things.
If this is not some twisted sense of racial domination, I don't know what is. Disgusting.
Did no one think about putting proper tags on this. This HAS CHILD RAPE in it. Not a single comment talks about the child related sensitive content in this.
This is seriously the second manga I picked up in last 3 days which has child rape. What is with the onslaught of this stupid trope.
Also another child rape victim seme with light hair. Sick of this trope already. Why do authors pick light hair for the seme when they want to add this kind of disgusting back story to them. Hardly is ever done for black haired semes. Twisted racial domination thing these people seem to have.
Having said all I wanted to about parenting in another post, this work is really funny. The interactions between the system and human... 50 cents less (lol).
I really really really don't understand why people like this have children. If you cannot take care of a child, emotionally, financially or otherwise, don't have kids. Period.
Warning - This is going to be long rant on parenting. Skip if you don't agree to the statement above since the content after this is going to be even more descriptive. Feel free to down vote or leave comments regarding how wrong I am and how I don't understand people's situations and their helplessness. Doesn't change the fact that what I am saying is right and as adults, we should have the guts to take responsible decisions. Some people might even feel this topic is too heavy for a site where people come to read manga, but there are too many kids here. It's better to educate them when they are exposed to all the shit in this without any age restriction.
Stop ruining the child's life for your selfishness.
- If you cannot feed your child at least twice a day and provide basic safety, even if you are ready emotionally, you are not financially. Don't have children.
- If you cannot take care of them emotionally and rely on your partner entirely, then don't have children.
- If you are in an abusive relationship don't have children in the hope that they will be your ray of light or what ever shit. All you are doing is bringing a kid into an abusive environment. As an adult be mature and don't have kids. If you really need to have kids, have the guts and courage to fight against the abuse and get out of the abusive situation before having kids.
- If you are having kids because of societal pressure or pressure from relatives. DON'T.
- If you are having a kid to just showcase to the world that you are a "man" or a "women". JUST DON'T. If you really feel the need to be a father or mother, instead of IVF, why not try adoption.
There is an exponential raise of cases where parents sell their children into child and sex trafficking because their household situation is not good. Need of the hour is for women to stop going with the flow and take a strong stand based on their situation. And also for men and women to be properly educated (I am not taking about going to school, I am taking about educating them which ever way possible).
If you are going to say that animals too have kids without all these considerations and having kids is a biological need for humans as well, let me remind you we enjoy special privileges than animals. We have built a world abusing animals and even feel the need to control their population, just because we think human beings are intelligent and special, and hence we are superior and have the right to trample on other species (even though not all humans are intelligent and intelligence is not rare in animals as well). With special privileges comes responsibilities as well. If you think humans are intelligent, then apply that intelligence to all aspects of life, not just where it suits you. That is called hypocrisy.
Disclaimer - I have repeatedly used "you", but it's not specific to one person. This is intended for all humans including myself.
Both the seme (Seram/Seth) and uke(Theo) are strong. They are leaders of their respective countries/sects. Strong characters written well and I really like the fact that the author did not make them a switch couple just because they are both strong (physically and politically). (I really don't understand the concept of sexual preferences having anything to do with physique, strength or personality.)
It's also admirable that they did not run away leaving their people to handle all the issues by themselves. They came back and fought with their respective armies. Seth went back to rebuild his destroyed nation and Theo went on to support his own country. They meet frequently and the relationship between the children seems to be good. (It might have been better for the children to stay together but it's understandable since even in real world good kings, queens and rulers do make such sacrifices.)
Since the plot is also good, I would have preferred if author expanded more on the politics in this. It's really rare to see good political plot in BL.
I don't know how to feel about Hyo-un with Taehyuk in their previous life. He is a child, but he grows rapidly to look like an adult.. And the master was the one who was raped.. But he is still a child :'( So I am going to tag it with Child Sexual Scenario and abuse anyway, but not with grooming since Taehyuk did not have such interest. Looks more like Hyo-un groomed Taehyuk instead. Could have done without the rape scene, but he is a child and a dragon and in heat. This is so morally confusing since I don't know what's the age of consent for dragons.
This has a long flashback but a good example of how it's done right. Not talking about story but the transition and pacing.
People here going on and on about cross dressing shorter seme and how "cute" he is and they how CAN'T WAIT for the (so called) sex scenes.... He is basically a stalker and really really REALLY CREEPY. You guys are seriously fetishizing this? Stalking, sexual abuse and rape? Seriously? This is Sexual abuse you realize? And it's not even written in a way which condemns these problematic things.
And I am sure I am going to get a lot of down votes for this, but I am going to say this anyway. You guys need some serious help.
I really love this work, but it's getting too long with unnecessary couples. I don't understand the need to make everyone around the main couple gay. Like expect for Lingwei's couple, every other character of some importance turned out to be gay. Just how and why? Most of the female characters in this have bad characterization. Why not have a healthy balance.
And the latest story... Uhh.. Incest. Was that really necessary? Really feels like grooming.. I really hope they do not end up being a couple.. Just going to skip this though.
Concept of spin-offs, prequel and sequel exists. Why not create a different title for different couples so that one story does not effect the other. Many a times the second couple leaves a bad taste (true with vice-versa) and this effects the feelings for the whole manga. I don't understand the need to jam pack everything under one title, when most stories like this can be read absolutely independently.
I don't understand why authors feel the need to include flashbacks in thier works. It's very difficult to get it right and this work is not one of them.
This work has some serious issues with pacing and transition into the flashback. Feels very forced.
Since the plot is so good, and author took the time to write such detailed world building, it would have been much better if the story had been told in chronological order.
The plot about politics is very rare in BL. Really loving it so far. The character development of Soleite due to Brian is well written. They really share a very strong bond. Looking forward to the rest of the story.
Since both the dragons are so obsessed with Brian, they just see Brian when they see Ian. Ian seems to be a replacement for Brian at this point. Even with the same soul, they are different people. Their life experiences and personalities are different. So, not sure how that's going to be resolved. Hope, Ian gets away from both the dragons and lives a fulfilling life elsewhere.
How did 2 blonds on the cover suddenly turn into a blond and a black haired guy? And again with the blond as uke. Sick of this.
And looking at this author's works, looks like they have a serious blond fetish.
Rant +1 - Here to add my own rant to the sea of rants in the topics section.
Warning - This is going to be long.
I am very much bothered about them hiding Motoki's girlfriend's shoes, when the shoe stand is clearly inside the house. I just can't make sense of this. Why? I mean, why would the ex-husband know Hayato's house. Ok, even if he stalked and got to know the location, why would they allow him into the house so that he can see the shoes? Even if he somehow forced his way in, why would he stop there and not look inside the rooms? He is clearly obsessive if he did all that.
Having got that out of my system.
I understand Hayato helping his friend. Even though it's his ex, they are childhood friends. I even understand him saying that helping Motoki is the most important thing now. Because a single person (even if it's your lover or spouse) cannot be the focal point of your life all the time. And seeing how dangerous the situation was, I quite admire him for helping out his friend.
What I do not understand is him asking Jun to not contact him and not explaining anything (even vaguely) to him. Asking Jun to not come to his house might make sense, since he might not want Jun to get mixed up in dangerous situation. But why ask him not to contact him? Phones exist in the manga, why not make use of it and have a conversation. Something like "Hey, sorry for leaving like that yesterday, but my friend is in deep trouble and really needs my help right now. It would be better if you don't come by my place for a few days since I do not want to involve you in this mess.".
I understand why Jun was not very assertive. In the first place, he had an unrequited love, then he had a one night stand with Hayato after Hayato cried for Motoki not to leave him. The morning after, Hayato asked him to go out but he is clearly not over Motoki. At this point Jun is clearly a substitute. Even after that Hayato never took the initiative to know more about Jun. He does not know where he works or where he lives. Still looks like a substitute or a bed partner at best. After the first call for help, Hayato left without explanation (understandable since the situation is urgent), but he did not explain even after he met him the next day, that too when he missed Jun's birthday.
Yes, he gave a ring, but does that really signify anything? No, Emotionless giving is a thing. Jun for some reason felt that as a declaration of love. Wow. I guess when you want to hang on, anything can be a reason. Then the day after Hayato again asked him not to contact and come to his house. Even after that, he goes to Hayato's house to talk, but comes across an intimate scene between ex-lovers. I don't see how he is supposed to be secure in this type of relationship. Him leaving and changing his number makes sense with his status in the relationship. Even after finding out Jun's address he allowed Motoki to meet him before himself. Like, do you have a brain? Making him meet Motoki after or at least meeting Jun together would have made sense, but making Motoki talk to him first. I still don't see his love here. I feel he just does not want to let go of the convenient toy since his ex already has someone else.
Yes, the issue here is lack of communication but mostly from Hayato's end. Yet, all of them unanimously put the whole blame on Jun. His only fault is staying in that relationship and even returning to that stupidity again after leaving, without Hayato not seriously repenting.
And Motoki... I don't see how testing Jun in this situation is helping out. He even goes so far as to tell Jun that he is getting back together with Hayato. What a way of making someone feel secure in their relationship.
Also, Jun's boss giving out his address to his lover's ex or any random person for that matter. Totally unprofessional.
Trigger Warning - Gore
This is such an interesting and unique concept. Loving it so far.
Quite different from other manga with Psychological tag, which tend to have r@pe as backstory or child abuse as main focus. Thank you Author for breaking that streak.
I actually like a lot of this authors work. (S)he defied a lot of stereotypes in the old works. But her/his recent works all have light haired guys as the uke. Not deifying the light haired uke stereotype at all. Disappointed.
I liked MDZS and was looking for similar novels. I started reading this because someone recommended this. Big mistake. I honestly could not continue with this. Too much r@pe and torture.
And what's with Mo Ran... is he an idiot... How oblivious can one be about their own thoughts.. I understand he did not know about Waning's feelings or his effort.. It's understandable he is oblivious about that.. but your own feelings.. And how does that give him any right to trample on other people.
Even after reincarnation he is the same idiot. He still has disgusting thoughts and gets jealous and irrationally possessive. The plot is too rape and rape thoughts centric and romance (from Waning's side. I don't understand why you would have to put up with that shit just because you love him).
I read in the comments that he does change for the better, but I am not sure if it's worth reading the whole thing for the redemption.
This is hilarious. The interactions between the emperor and his dragon are so funny. Cracks me up every time.
I have a very bad feeling about this. Could some one tell me if this has child r@pe or similar things.
Seriously this site needs mandatory Trigger Warning when creating a new manga.
Trigger Warning - Pedophilia, Possible Child Rape, Possible Child Prostitution, Rape, Prostitution, Forced prostitution
Disgusting characters. Case of Rape fetishism. Too explicit. Not needed in the least.
Only saving grace is Yona. Had to skip a lot of parts to be able to read this.
Does anyone know what happened to Yokozawa No baai novel? Was Volume 7 ever released?
