Damn, with powers like those they would be better off in regular school

S Class sister is a massive bitch. Obviously she’s too controlling of her brother, but she just assumed MC was a power hungry murderer and tried to kill her on sight, as if she’s any different than the “murderers” she loathes. It’s just a convenient excuse to dispose of someone who is damaging her control over her brother

Lol my theory is that Korean authors spontaneously combust and die if they write a romance with zero toxicity. So the mess with “therapy” and pressure on Dobin isn't enough , and now he has to abuse his authority to make him do editorial photo shoots with him. Let’s be honest here, ML just blasts Dobin with pheromones to get his way, and get out of unwanted conversations, consequences, and any attempt at boundaries Dobin puts up. Plus the “but he’s so hot” mental nerf on Dobin. If he acted the same way without pheromones or a power imbalance over Dobin, the relationship would not exist

Is she going to hatch the Devil? ╥﹏╥

I’m at chapter 13. Am I the only one who thinks Inha’s friend is a major asshole for going out of her way to “warn” the person he’s interested in? As acknowledged by everyone, including Inha, he has historically been a shitty boyfriend, but it’s not like he’s so horrible he should be prevented from dating at all. The relationships fell apart because of his shallowness and lack of emotional investment, but it’s not like he’s a cheater or abuser. He didn’t enter those relationships maliciously or fraudulently, or deliberately harm any of his past partners.
She has no reason to believe the chief would be harmed or taken advantage of, so I just feel like it’s out of line. It would be one thing if she was letting a friend know about the baggage, but he is a perfect stranger to her, and she literally stalked him to air out her friend’s dirty laundry. If you think someone is so horrible that every single person they’re interested in needs to be warned against them, why are you even friends? If the pattern held, they would just date casually until the relationship fizzled out due to Inha’s lack of emotional commitment. Just because he’s been subpar in the past doesn’t mean he could never change or improve himself. Is she going to do this to every person he has a crush on or tries to date?

Bro will really do anything except actually listen to his partner and respect their autonomy. Carl could not have been more open or clear about why he’s upset and how to fix the situation. I don’t even want to think of the cringey shit he’s going to pull after reading those Σ(っ°Д °;)っ

I only made it to ch3, but the stuff with Pop gave me serious ick. First of all, he looks too young, and nobody clarifies how old he is before shit goes down. Major concern (and the axe) just from that, but his whole backstory is just presented as being really vulnerable.
Apparently OG duchess picked him up as an orphan, named him, and they clearly had a weird/sketchy relationship. We don’t know the relative ages, but it just felt like an easy situation to take advantage of, even if Poh is technically on board. Just a bit too much potential from grooming, not to mention the power imbalance even if they are the same age.
Even if he is a reasonable age, it’s just as much of an issue to readers that he isn’t really drawn to look like he’s a reasonable age. And yeah, new MC didn’t have anything to do with that, but it doesn’t change the fact that she’s taking advantage of an existing dynamic that is clearly not right.
Just ick all around, so I’m out

SA via coercion and blackmail. Can anyone explain why Korean authors despise consent so much?

The plot and relationships are all over the place. MC gets sold into marriage the second he gets isekaied, so he obviously wants to go home. Within a few days, the ML makes him wear a tracker device and threatens to make him pay if he betrays him by trying to run away (which will be assumed if he removes the device). To which MC responds that of course he will stay by his side as friends! Like wtf? You were talking about how you wanted to go home literally yesterday. ML has barely interacted with him at all, so it makes no sense for MC to magically become attached, especially since he’s basically been ignored and forced to do a bunch of tedious work while losing all of his independence and freedom. The characterization is just disjointed and nonsensical

Still can’t get over the fact that this entire situation wouldn’t have been an issue if Chayoung hadn’t blatantly ignored Gyuha when he told him to wear a condom. What he did would have been considered SA in many countries, because Gyuha was only consenting to protected sex. He still doesn’t care about what Gyuha is going through or the baby itself, he’s just excited that he has a chance to chain him down. He’s the type of character who will never compromise on his own desires within the relationship. Just selfish
