Not his ding-a-ling dingdongshling doing peekaboo in the water they're so unserious it hurtssssss. I also just want to shake the authors' and artists hands because they're geniuses.
It's so campy. And yet very genuine.
PEEKABOO IM CRYING
The pacing is a little weird at times. But the story is so cute.
The way I see Yaeji, her love language is definitely physical touch and sex... Lots of it.
She doesn't hesitate to engage in PDA, even when her relationship with Minjae is new. She doesn't hesitate to lean on him, cuddle or just let him hold her when he's feeling clingy. And of course the copious amount of sex they have and the new things they try out. Compared to Minjae who's love language is more on acts of service. He dotes on her, does alot of physical labor (like carrying her stuff or student council stuff) and sexual favours.
There are other subtle things like her talking to her friends about him, heck recently she introduced him to her closest friends and eating lunch together with her coworkers. She respects him and their relationship. Not once she had ever thoughts or entertained the idea of getting back with her ex/TA when he was being creepy and disrespectful. She even drew boundaries, which still gets violated by the ex and by strangers who aren't even in her circle.
Her main priority is her studies, her scholarship, her library job and her duties as a student council president. All that while in the middle of being in a love triangle "scandal". It's kind of understandable why she would be angry and disappointed if her partner would be immature and incite fights because of jealousy. She worked her ass off for 2 years to financially support her family and now has the opportunity to finish her education. She's got no time for that nonsense!!!
While I can see that she isn't perfect ( good lord I hate that her conflict resolution was to immediately fuck it out) and her communication with Minjae needs a LOT of work, but you can see her opening up more to him. She might not be 100% in love with Minjae just yet but the fondness and affection is there. And since this manhwa is still ongoing, we will definitely see them grow closer and grow as characters.
All that being said, it's definitely sad to see how much hate she is getting in the comments. She's such a nuanced character. If she was a man and this was a BL or if she and Minjae switched genders,,, y'all would be eating this manhwa up.
Why is there baby play
I know she's pathetic. But good lord. Not for me.
When I say I want a playful partner, this is what I mean fun harmless pranks that don't hurt anyone.... Except for the evil sister and ex.
Cute banter and jokes but never making hurtful jabs at anyone's expense. Arghhhh, even my sapphic ass needs an oscar.
The thing with consent, it can be taken back at anytime. So even if they agreed beforehand but if someone says no in the middle, you listen and full stop. Richard DID grape her.
Now, it's up to reader discretion if they want to "forgive" Richard or not. Or be disgusted and drop the manhwa.
I personally am on the fence, mostly because this is such a morally grey area??? Like I understand that he is a virgin and is very enthusiastic about finally finding (manipulate) someone who matches his freak,,, but he's the more informed out of the 2 of them. He's read the BDSM books (he even recommended them to her), he knows about consent, he knows about safe words, He knew his dick was too big he should have stopped her from shoving it in the moment he thought it was dangerous. But we all knew he has only been after his selfish desires and satisfaction. He rarely ever considers Courtney's feelings and pace.
But I kind of see that he got lost in the sauce. there is such a thing as Dom/Sub space that people can accidentally fall into when they are so into the bdsm play. But again Richard and Courtney are both virgins and you can still argue that no matter how much information they read about it, they're still both so ill equipped.
While I am very disappointed and up that there's grape in my femdom, but I think the author knows what they're doing So I'm still gonna give her the benefit of doubt. Plus I walked in here expecting such (although we really don't deserve/shouldn't
get used to it in our media) and this is free so,,
So please be kind and respectful to each other in the topics section.
I say "forgive" with heavy on quotation marks because we really shouldn't be complacent with seeing noncon in our stories. But I am also saying don't go attack the author just yet. Let her cook with the narrative so far.
I just hope that Richard gets REAL consequences to his actions. No not sexy fun time consequences. Courtney you better stand your ground!!!
Yea
You do have Point
I had to come find your comment after your reply to me & I didn’t even realize mine was right after yours because if I would have saw it I wouldn’t have had to write mine, lol.
I would have just put AGREED & kept it pushing. But I do want to say if your on the fence about than you should definitely go off the next chapter after this one. & I say that to everyone! How he responds to this is going to be the most important part & will determine whether the author truly meant for this to be a rape scene or not. Like I said it would be very on brand for the prince to be apologetic & if he’s not or they just gloss over it then I’ll even consider dropping this manga myself! I saw someone say she going to beat his ass for this— & though it would be really funny to see that I kind of hope they don’t & will make this a boundary lesson or something like that!
frfr.
we need more context and see where this goes.
and dont worry! its nice to see open discussion about something so sensitive. Its ok to like something and still be critical but respectful at the same time. I normally just turn off my brain when i read erotica. but it was just sad to see a lot of name calling in some of the comments from both sides of the coin and couldnt help but yap. hahah
I also dont want to come off as preachy. I'm sorry if i did.
AGREED, lol. But, no your comment wasn’t preachy at all! Very open minded in my opinion! & I absolutely agree with the turned off brain when it comes to reading erotica (≧∀≦) I also was surprised at how the comments were going & felt like I need to say something so I super get it! ╮(￣▽￣)╭
This is next level delulu that I am here for.
