i can't say i sensed much romantic tension, and if they were particularly close as friends i also didn't notice it. sort of feels like they're jumping the gun, but tbf i thrive off slowburn ill wait years for it
not particularly interesting, not metaphorical enough to be a trip and not grounded enough to be concise... if you don't feel particularly connected to a god complex, intrusive thoughts or disturbing tendencies this one is probably a skip
a lot of gamer romances are like "this RICH ASSHOLE is a PRO GAMER who wants to bone me??" and ml is like this autistic girlfailure with one (1) hobby outside of gaming far more accurate i wish he was a sub
another commentor previously talks about the dismissal of SA in japan and i agree wholeheartedly that i don't think the manga is making light if it, but rather depicting the reaction from others realistically. that being said, i personally can't stand to continue reading a story where r@pe is dismissed and the victim is slutshamed
I find it quite realistic that they don't care if a man is raped.
you're right it was my own discomfort, not a lack of realism. i also left a comment so people who are uncomfortable with the topic can know
womp womp
lmao
Literally
Wow
thank you, I dropped it for the same reason. It truly shows the reality of the male victim blame culture but him being so profoundly traumatized and not realizing this just breaks my heart and hits too close home for me to continue this story.
im really liking this! these interactions feel so real and not dramatized, atami is also a character i can really resonate with... i hope readers can look beyond the "shounen ai" tag and find the start of a beautiful slice of life series
the plot and character exploration is so good im way more invested in seeing how chaeyoon's attitude and mental state change... the romance is getting in the way of that for me a little
season 1 was great with the initial comedy hook, then the tone change, and really understanding the characters, but season 2 seems to have fallen to common yaoi tropes, flanderization and isn't as entertaining. anyone else feel like this?
can you give an example? i think season two so far has had a couple tropes but they all build onto the establishment in season one in a meaningful and insightful way. i dont really think flanderization applies here
I’d say it’s not as entertaining but they’ve never fallen into a “Yaoi trope” because of it. They’re just adding information into the story about the characters and classical yaois wouldn’t even bother to talk about these topics. The only reason why it’s “boring” is because the information you’re learning isn’t dramatic or leaving you Star-struck.
Flanderization definitely didn’t happen considering we had an entire chapter focusing on why he acts the way he acts.
flanderization with eunoh, i think the main characters are fine and i praise the author for having a nuanced depiction of an unstable character like jinhyeok. i also think it's great how they're focusing on jinhyeok connecting with others as a sign of recovery, not just dedicating himself to uyun. that being said, shit like uyun rushing to the hotel because of one phone call puts me off. well tbh i dont really care i think i just miss fanfics
Uyun called his boyfriend phone and instead an older drunk guy responded saying he was on top of his boyfriend, and that it was an accident or he didn't meant to.
I don't think is an overreaction to rush if he assumed the worst
