But, does anyone else feel like this is all unearned? The dramatic tension felt poorly set up and rushed as hell, so the kiss did nothing for me. As messy as it was, I sensed a lot more passion during and was more invested in their relationship during the love triangle. Idk, maybe I need to reread ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍

This is the type of yaoi I hate the most, and I’ve seen it way too often growing up. Stop using rape and blackmail as romantic development and an excuse to draw smut if you’re not going to have the characters deal with the fallout or acknowledge it. This is the third/fourth time the seme violently raped the uke, this time in an alleyway to the point he passed out. Then he wakes up in an unfamiliar place and...everything plays out like a comedy and the uke acts all chummy with his rapist? This is literal nightmare fuel, this story should be a horror/yandere but it keeps trying to be a romantic comedy once the rape is over. At least stories like Killing Stalking don’t try to disguise how fucked up their characters and the relationships they portrayed are. What a waste of good art.

Guys chill stop swearing at others because they hav an opinion about a story, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa story, pleese voice your opinions on here and thats fine. It is very right of you to say rape and blackmail is disgusting and as long as people understand it is a crime and why it is a crime it is not something to swear at eachother about, its either not for you or it is, just dont slander the author for showing something that is common in the yaoi section of manga.

Im sorry, im just gonna pardon your ignorance for a second and send you some facts.
DO NOT EVER EVER in your life criticized an author work unless you are for 1: and author of a story yourself( idc if your giving friendly feedback)
2: you draw in general
you have no place to say that they went the the rapey troupe to draw smut, are you fucking kidding do you know how ignorant you sounded your post is bashing the creator, and if the creator were to find this comment of yours im pretty sure they would fell the same way as me.
Now, dont put words in fucking mouth i will never support rape
i may not have been rape but i have been touch very inappropriately when i was younger and by a friend. So i dont wanna hear ANY OF YOU GUYS WHAT SO EVER BASH THIS FUCKING ARTIST EVER they took their precious time and used their god given talent to create something to pay the bills.
COME CORRECTLY NEXT and talk to me when you make a webtoon especially a bl one.
happy reading and remeber yaoi has no fucking limits ( ̄∇ ̄")

I'm not protecting anything. The author, story, characters, settings are very good. they don't need me to protect them. I don't give a rat's ass if there's rape. I'm not all torn up inside with hate over rape. There's a lot worse things that can happen in life, but you wouldn't know it by the hysterical haters. I like the feeling of the story.

If it’s released to the public it’s fair game to criticize, and as a gay man I have every right to be upset with how casually rape has been portrayed in yaoi since I was a boy and even longer. It has very disturbing implications, and the fact the majority of these creators aren’t even gay men themselves what does that say about what they, and society at large, think about our relationships? What does that do to the young gay kids who don’t have any other access to representation of their sexuality or romance and rely on yaoi for that? Only a fool mindlessly consumes without ever questioning, and I find it audacious of you to insinuate that you are the sole authority on sexual violence and trauma and how it shouldn’t be criticized just because you can tolerate it for entertainment purposes, as if there weren’t others who’ve shared similar opinions to mine that haven’t experience trauma similar to or worse than yours.
And since I actually bought 13 chapters of this story on Lezhin and supported the creator before I finally had enough, I’ll say whatever I damn please and just like I could’ve kept my opinion to myself you could’ve not replied to any critique that offends you. But you do you boo ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍

Uhm cause I had coins to spare and didn’t feel like waiting longer for scans, wanted to quit but decided to give it another chance, and it ended up disappointing me even more. How does that negate what I said? You can literally buy tickets to a movie and end up hating it; hell you can even give its sequel another chance and double down on your dislike if it doesn’t redeem itself, what’s the difference in this situation. Also you can dislike something while still giving it merit, just because I hate the tonal inconsistency and relationship doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the art quality.
Maybe instead of telling people to “come correct” you should grasp the concept of “nuance” and save yourself from making bad faith arguments that aren’t making any points, just noise. How you loud and wrong at the same time, like pick a struggle sis

As a gay man, why don't you know that BL has nothing to do with you? That the creators aren't gay men should have given you a hint that this genre is not about gay men.
The nerve of people like you, as if we don't have a right to reach inside and create our own unique characters.
The same way Yoda is from the imagination, so are yaoi characters. These authors are not gay men and do not know enough about your community to write about it, so stop thinking you're some kind of BL victim.

By your logic black people shouldn’t be concerned with how they’re portrayed in films like Birth of a Nation because it was created by and for whites in a fictional setting. Is it worms in the brain? Or should women not be concerned with how female shounen characters are portrayed just because it’s made by men for teenage boys? Everyone knows Yaoi is primarily made for and by women, but that doesn’t mean others can’t consume it and find entertainment out of it; particularly, those who would engage in mlm relationships since yaoi tends to be more story based than bara so it’s like our version of romance novels. Art doesn’t exist in a vacuum, what you put is a statement and influence on the surrounding, and even at times global, culture and it shouldn’t be “victimization” to point out those out or dislike what is inferred from the work.
If anything, you’re acting like a victim cause someone dared critique your “precious work” that no one even knows why you like because you’re so busy trolling me. If it’s not that deep for you hun and you just wanna enjoy, then no one is stopping but yourself for getting pressed at others’ negative opinions and their impudence for challenging the status quo of the genre. Just hang it up flat screen chile, your edgy and reductive arguments ain’t it.

Guys I just wanna say something dont interpret it any other way than even if your a gay man, or any other sexuality or gender, rape and discrimination is wrong. Humans should all have equal rights and these horrific actions makes your will useless as the other party is forcing you into it. Thats is what I beleive however just because this webtoon has it in it does not make it any worse from other webtoons, I like these type of webtoons but I wouldn't wish this on my worst enermy so stop fighting to see when someone said something that you can interpret as discrimitaory or something worse.

no no, she got a point anyways yall let's just nip this in a bud the moral is that rape and the rapey troupe aren't good but we still need to take fact that its not right to say that the artist skill were a waste but ill take reconsideration that not all of us like the rapey troupe hell I don't like it the only problem I have with this thread was that a person said that this story was an excuse to draw rape and waste or art that the author made because neither of these statements are true and you guys shouldn't say things like that
in conclusion Im sorry if I offended the gay community or LGBTQ community (but I'm heteroflexible) listen we shouldnt be fighting over fake people although what is in the story is wrong is doesn't mean we insult each other a furthermore the artist
that's all have a good day guys :)
I don’t even give a fuck what ship becomes endgame anymore, just wrap it all up and I’ll enjoy whatever smut’s thrown our way (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
