Am I the only one who is sick of MC s getting paired with genuine psychopaths? There’s no actual romance here, just sex and emotional manipulation. Joong is written like a sociopath. He genuinely does not comprehend the emotions of other, lacks the capacity for empathy, and acts entirely selfishly even when it harms others without feeling any guilt. I’m pretty sure he’s diagnosable.
Yeong may care about Jeong and act on those emotions, but Jeong is only interested in what he can gain from Yeong’s affection. I’ve noticed that sociopathic behaviors often get normalized in bl comics, and narcissistic tendencies get normalized in both bl and straight comics from Korea (though self centeredness is common in depictions of straight relationships from everywhere).
There are so many comics where the shitty top only gets aware with their horrible actions because their victim is magically fine with it, doesn’t show any trauma responses, or just gets over it quickly. I’m just sick of this garbage.
