i found this very interesting to see a character struggling with emotional repression and how that effects his relationships and his mental health. As someone who personally deals with this, it was interesting to see it being portrayed. I hope he eventually heals and learns to be vulnerable with the people he cares most about. What a good read.

broo this kinda makes me uncomfortable. it isnt fun having sex if ur not into it, n whats worse is that it seems the top is aware of it n is doing it anyway. like i get hes an adult n should say smth but, i dont rlly think this is okay. seems kinda toxic. ill keep reading though, im interested bc it be like that.

Yeah I totally agree with you...it seems both of them carry heavy emotional baggage and release it through sex but they don’t have enough communication between each other and that is very important in a BDSM relationship, they are basically just hurting each other even more especially the bottom, it seem as he had been in an abusive relationship before and thinks it was just a form of BDSM play

No I think the uke is the one who’s doing something wrong here. The seme is so meticulous about it being consensual and he applied a safe word and constantly asks him if he’s okay or if he’s going to far. Imagine how he would feel when the uke tells him he never enjoyed bdsm. After the effort he has put to establish safe boundaries he still would have hurt him without meaning to. The uke should’ve established from day one that he didn’t like it.

This isn’t toxic at all nor weird. In a relationship most partners have different fetish’s and try to satisfy those each individual with consent, which is what both of these characters did. The seme made sure he was ok with all of these things, gave a safe word, took things slowly, made sure he was comfortable, and even healed any injuries he made. Which all should be done in this type of play. The uke has never stated that he has been uncomfortable or didn’t like it or didn’t want to continue with the seme. So it is in no part the semes fault. In a relationship people want to try to make things work so that’s why the uke is trying to like this type of “play”, which people can and do do so. I mean there is certain toxicity elements that each characters does to THEMSELVES, but whether or not they get toxic to each other will have to be seen in future chapters ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

the top has stated that the bottom only feels pain throughout the sex they have during the spanking scene,, thats what makes me think he knows hes not enjoying it. but thats just my assumption geez guys. n going based off that,, sure he encourages using the safe word but he doesnt rlly do anything other than that expect watch the bottom be uncomfortable. n they should both speak up, esp the bottom bc (as ive said) hes a whole ass adult. im not putting the blame on the top alone geez. kinda both their bads tbh

Well that's what BDSM is about...both of them accepted the condition of ther relationship
.made a contract
.the DOM made it clear at the beginning that he doesn't want any Romantic attachment and the SAB accepted ( well he was naive thinking that he can approach him )
.they have safe words
.the dom is kind and take good care of his partner after the games end
....the problem here is the bottom he accepted this but his not intO BDSM
..
Every body have ther preferences I believe

but like dohyun my boy,, u have stockholm syndrome hun u need help

Hmm.. I thought Bum from Killing Stalking displayed more accurate symptoms of Stockholm syndrome.
What I think of the syndrome:
Stockholm syndrome happens when a person gets kidnapped, forming an unhealthy relationship with the kidnapper. Like their mind is totally unstable, and relies heavily on the kidnapper, and is very submissive.
But these two boys met a long time ago, it's not like he severely depends on the kidnapper, it's just that he likes him (ever since a long time ago), and since the mc wants to finally trust someone and have a relationship, he decided to have a fresh start with their relationship because he simply liked him that much, thus can't lived without him. In other words, I think MC is pretty sane, unlike Bum. Plus, a person with Stockholm syndrome will not shout at their kidnapper.
Finally, sorry for the long ass paragraph.
honestly im not sure what to think of the seme,, like he basically date rapes the uke n then manipulates him abt it. im sure theres another way to show a characters shitty ways.
