Isn’t BDSM play supposed to be planned in advanced a/ opposed to spontaneous? Like, actually talk through what both of you are willing + able to do and not before getting down and dirty? Also, shouldn’t two people trust each other a lot before doing that type of shit, and generally not want to inflict harm on the other. Also, isn’t leaving someone bound, gagged, and blind unsupervised a huge no? Ntm, that aftercare, especially for the type of shit Yeonwoo went through, is essential for the sub/masochist otherwise it could cause psychological harm and...idt Taehwan is capable of that. I’m glad the chapter had the warning, but this really makes me not like Taehwan cause he can’t even do the decent thing of engaging in safe sex with YW and is passing it off as YW receiving a favor, when Taehwan is just getting his sadistic rocks off while YW goes through all the strain. YW maybe a maso but that doesn’t mean he should suffer a careless partner who mainly looks after himself.
exactly correct i completely agree. i feel so bad for yeonwoo :(
that's why it said irresponsible bdsm play in content advisory
Like this is how abusers operate irl. They come in at a low point in your life and act like an archetypal white knight in a fairytale rescuing the down on their luck damsel. It seems like they’ll treat you better than any of your previous partners, especially since they’re so charming and seemingly perfect. Then you let your guard down cause you feel safe around them, so you don’t notice the red flags: offering sex and affection as favors when there’re ulterior motives, slowly isolating you from your circle, making choices for you slowly robbing your agency so they’ll be your only point of reference, jealously guarding you from “competition”, even old friends, and acting like it come from a place of concern, keeping you inside for long periods of time so they become your only point of reference, disguising every encroachment of your boundaries as love when it’s just obsession, etc.
Idk how this story will be resolved, but I gotta give it props for showing a more accurate and toned down precursor to abuse. Not to say the “jerk seme” or “yandere” types don’t play out in real life, but usually most people aren’t attracted to those who have bad personalities and treat everyone, even the uke, like shit; that is such an obvious and distasteful red flag most of us are confused why the uke even bothers like there aren’t any other hot guys in the story who actually treats them and other people well and enthusiastically so. The thing that makes Matthew work is that we can see why Hayoung was interested and a lot of us were rooting for him: he’s charming, he helped out Ian in the previous story, him and Hayoung were really great friends in the beginning and had wonderful chemistry, he excels at his job and doesn’t act like act like a snob/jerk to coworkers, other friends, and strangers.
Matthew for all appearances was a prince type and he had something going for him outside of just being hot, but there were also signs of his obsessive nature towards Hayoung throughout that this turn isn’t out of left field. That’s where other abusive semes fail, they either have unattractive personalities and their only redeeming trait is their appearance or they’re the prince types and then out of nowhere they turn yandere. Irl abusers tend to follow the Matthew formula, so that way if their victims try to escape and seek help from mutuals they won’t believe it because “they’re so nice and charming, there’s no way”; also, abuse isn’t always physically hitting others or just inflicting trauma in big displays, Matthew’s coercive and controlling nature is another side that isn’t often depicted in media because it’s been so normalized. I just love the nuance in this series, other authors should take note.
Fantasy x Hoe is such a specific fetish but I’m here for it: like yes give me beefy men in flowing robes, mesh, exposed arms, midriff, jewelry, capes, and cleavage; bonus points if there’s a nip slip. Also the fact both uke and seme dress like hoes but have two very distinct styles is perfectionლ(´ڡ`ლ)
I’m so sorry but you just exposed me and that’s illegal ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ LIKE SAMEEEEE
Where a single dad who’s also a widower/divorcé has this meetcute with another guy and isn’t ready for love, and is even a bit cold/distant/confrontational at the start, until they see the other dude’s stellar chemistry with their child/children then starts imagining them all as one big happy family overflowing with love? WHY CAN’T WE HAVE THIS(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
So why the smut gotta be so good, gotdamn! I guess this what got Yeonwoo trapped, the sex is bomb af; I mean what else is Keith good for, frfr ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
...WITHOUT SEXUALLY ASSAULTING RIX FFS! Like, it was so brief it was even more unnecessary than all the other non-con scenes and half of the Rixuah scenes combined. Author, I get it, Rix is very hot and you should be proud enough to flex that, but do we have to be reminded of it every single chapter with him put in lewd, compromising, and outright predatory scenarios on a near constant basis? Rix is practically a hentai centerfold atp and I gotta ask: WHAT WAS THE REASON?!?!?!?
Possible answer to your question—
Literally everything you said in that paragraph ahahhahahahaha
In my opinion, Rix is a very strong character, if i can say that, in the sense that he doesnt let anybody sleep with him, only Nuah cause he literally has to. But in the beginning, if i remember correctly, he didnt let Nuah do him either cause he didnt what to sleep with anybody.
Now, as their feelings grow for each other, Rix doesnt really mind Nuah and is, in fact, getting excited, but he still hates other people. The point Banam was trying to make was " If you cherish Nuah so much and hate letting other people touch you except from him, why arent you resisting me? Because if I wanted YOU, you cant refuse ME, like if NUAH wants YOU, you cant refuse HIM ( even if in reality you wanted to)."
In the episode with the bandits, again if i remember correctly, Rix didn't want to sleep with the boss and thus he didnt actually came, but now he did, even if in really he didnt want to sleep with Banam. He enjoyed the act cause he was told to by the devine beast.
Which makes me wonder if Rix feelings for Nuah are genuine cause Nuah can influence him but not immediately like Banam and they grew over time with his desire to be liked by Rix or Rix feel in love cause Nuah powers arent that strong to make that happen in the first place.
My question isn’t seeking an in-universe explanation, this is a writing choice question. I can follow along with the plot (if that still exists, lol) but that doesn’t mean I think the way to convey it was always right or sound; especially the plethora of on-con scenes that are lewded in contrast with Rix’s burgeoning consent for Nuah despite the questionable circumstances surrounding their coupling. Either way it’s oversaturation, the story gets bogged down, and Rix has very little agency, sexual or otherwise, making him more of a sexual object than a character; these have been problems for a while now, and It’s frustrating how little progress there is to depart from that, even if by now it’s more than obvious that’s the author’s intention, but that doesn’t mean I can’t disagree with those choices or find them as fatal flaws for what would otherwise be a very enjoyable series.
I didnt thought you meant that but yes, i can see it too.
The plot is pretty simple though? It doesn’t have anything complicated to it. It’s basically just the adventure of Rix and Nuah but mainly the progression of their relationship through the journey.
It’s the story of a prince who has been cursed to be sexually horny every night, who gets sexually assaulted as a result, and can only suppress his curse by having sex with the help of the young divine beast.
The plot itself has roots in sex. It’s not like it’s a random ad-on fan service element, it’s complementary to the story. I get the opinion that it can be excessive but this is literally a story to serve smutty fantasies.
The way you should be seeing this story is a smut with really really good plot and amazing characters tbh, not a classical literary delicacy.
But really, to each their own taste!
Also I agree with the previous commenter when they said that it’s not just a way to show Rix he would blindly give consent to any divine beast if they asked for it but also would enjoy and not even think about rejecting their advances during the process.
But yet again, that’s just feeding fantasies really while serving the plot, literally the magic ability of the author. Coz somehow everytime Rix and Nuah have sex, we always get to learn something about themselves or the progress of their relationship.
I’m not looking for complicated, I just think the pacing is meandering. I don’t have a problem with smut, and I understand the dynamics between the characters and their conflicts, I don’t need that regurgitated. My “what was the reason?” was mostly rhetorical and no idt Banam had to necessarily fondle Rix to completion as a demonstration to prove his point; there’s always another way. For the most part Rix and Nuah are the only characters in this story and we’re hyper focused on them as individuals and a couple, but the excessive sex scenes pad out a story that was already drawn out because of the incremental progress the two characters have in their relationship development. Maybe it seems that for how many chapters have already been released, there isn’t as much visible progress as I would’ve liked especially if a considerable amount of that time is spent in something we’ve seen ad nauseum: Rix spreading his cheeks for Nuah or some stranger taking advantage of him. As an entire package, in both story and smut, it’s getting stale; don’t get me confused, I’ve enjoyed many a slow burn and smut, even stories that intersect, this one just ain’t it.
Like damn, not only does he have internalized homophobia he then projects that onto Yeonwoo concurrently lusting after him as well; a hot (so fucking hot) mess ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
So not only does Junho get stalked and raped by some obsessive freak for no reason, but now his rapist-stalker’s pimp (for all intents and purposes) is coming for him just for shits and giggles? So now Junho’s hand is forced as the (oh so blatantly) unfair choice of wether to help his rapist is taken from him now that the Chairman has made him a target as well because of his association with Kang; another circumstance outside of Junho’s control. This uke has no agency and receives negative consequences in spite of that, but we’re supposed to sympathize with Kang who decided to be Chairman 2.0 despite knowing how that feels? Fuck that noise (︶︿︶)＝凸
welcome to the world of bad writing.
but we can't really be surprised, the writing has always been bad. the the basis for the plot is basically "Im mean to you cuz I can be". its not very compelling.
go die
Like when do any of their conversations make sense? They’re all over the place and Daiki goes off over the smallest things; why does Minjun even like the sob? I feel dumb every time I read their dialogue (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
It's totally a mistranslation that's why everyone of us where confuse but I recommend this link for CH26 and 27 :) for you to understand the story https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=116838280420632&id=100062833805079
omg. Thank you! Damn really a mistranslation indeed, what a shame..
This helped a lot thanks :)
To have such a soft face with a personality to match, but a body as hard as steel that can fuck even harder. Just raising all our expectations, leaving us single for life cause no irl can measure ┗( T﹏T )┛
