So we are chapters in and we already have sexual assault twice. Great.
it's okay cuz pemdas so they canceled each other out
Blond assaulted black hair twice. Even if the MC performed oral he was black out drunk and could not consent he literally thought ML was someone else. That’s not say MC was in the right for making a sexual advance and play, ML was completely sober(had a single shot) and knew better than to let things transpire as they did. He was “curious” how far things would go and let things escalate purposefully and then has the audacity to blame the MC and then assault him in turn as compensation.ML IS NOT A CHILD. He’s a grown man with an active sex life and I’m sure he knows he could have never done this to a woman in either situation without it clearly being assault but because it’s between men excuses are being made. It’s gross. And it’s disgusts me how often this genre relies on drunkenness to perpetuate sexual crimes. It feeds rape culture and significantly muddies acceptable depictions of consenting sexual intimacy. That authors keep doing this and especially female authors in this medium of constantly romanticizing toxic and dangerous behavior and glamorizing as sexy, idealistic, and desirable is at this point disturbing. It’s bad enough many men take their sexual education from video pornography, a fictional depiction of sex, and it is acknowledge for its damage. Yet, we don’t do the same for other mediums of “fictional sex” that contribute to spreading misinformation and desensitizing its audience to altering depictions of idealized love and romance. Alcohol is number ONE used drug to initiate sexual violence please remember that.
oh you ate professor! (▰˘◡˘▰)
I’m not even trying to preach from my little soapbox on the internet. This should be known knowledge and understood. The fact that it isn’t recognized and is rather often opposed is what is so worrisome.
are you reading the Boundary of Delusion by any chance? that shit pissing me off so bad but the comment section is filled with ppl just celebrating the fact that the victim is starting to "like" the perpetrator?! just another Tuesday in Yaoi
Oh god no. I looked at a few chapters and said fuck this.
While this was well written. I left this manhwa hating both characters. They are truly too toxic for one another to ever be a real couple. Cirrus is manipulative, cruel, co-dependent, spiteful, has abandonment issues, and is emotionally unstable. Skyler is violent, volatile, avoidant, apathetic, painfully insecure, self-absorbed, and weak willed. I honestly felt so unnerved by both characters’ backstories and while well executed, the lack of any closure for both these young men, means they use each other as their source of “comfort” from reality and while heartbreaking is in no way a healthy way of processing. I wish this was longer because honestly these two need additional fleshing out characterization wise, yet the reality is the author is right to end it this way because realistically there would not be a neat resolution to their respective trauma. Still it left me unsatisfied, and even angry that this will still be framed as “romantic” when all I see just see is a tragedy. I’m terrified of both of them and terrified of them being together.
Was it confusing for anyone how chapter 5 they’re in a dressing room setting, exit it see the pap, then by chapter 6 are already is the ML’s apartment. I’m so confused when this transition occurred.
They did a small timeskip to get to the apartment
Would been nice if we didn’t of course have a drunken sexual assault within the very first chapter. But we just couldn’t have gone without that of course cause how possibly could a smaller pretty top not be a manipulative creep like they AlwaYs have to be in order to “convince” their larger bottoms.
they were both drunk though.
Hah? Neither of them said they were perfect nor were they shown in a good light - -‘
Plus they were both drunk.
(Alcohol is a drug makes you do weird shit, why do you think being intoxicated holds up in court)
It’s amazing how it’s clear people don’t read. The bottom is passed out drunk. The top was coherent enough to drag them both home, put the bottom in bed, and then couldn’t help himself and pulls down their pants to jerk them both off while the bottom is sleeping. The bottom wakes up to being assaulted. Did either of you two even read before commenting? This is literally what’s wrong with the work and this community, it perpetuates rape culture and then muddies it further by misidentifying or misconstruing even visual cues and this worsens people’s perception of acceptable and consent forms of sexual intimacy.
pal the top may be coherent, but he's not acting with crystal clear consent. he did that bc he was under the influence, not bc he saw someone who was drunk and wanted to take advantage. like drunk people can literally be coherent enough to get tatted or go swimming or hop in a car or, believe it or not, have sex with other drunk people. the bottom woke up to another drunken one night stand that commonly occurs when both parities are drunk off their asses. this is literally a non-issue lmao.
Is very clear that you’ve never been drunk or even seen anyone drunk XD. How do you think drinking and driving is a thing? Talk about confidently incorrect ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Exactly
Oh wow, guess what? I've been drunk before — shocking, I know — and somehow managed not to assault anyone. Turns out being drunk isn’t a free pass to be a garbage human.
Thank you for your response. The two above however I’m not waisting my breath. I sometimes wonder if this genre is genuinely making people dumber because I don’t even have the words to explain any simpler how easy it is to read what’s presented to you, but still make an entirely new narrative that fits for your rose colored view rather than bothering to educate yourself.
literally nobody assaulted anyone here bozo they're BOTH drunk and BOTH acting under the influence. idk how you navigate the world when you think like this.
Wow, incredible analysis, Sherlock. So if two people are drunk, we just throw out the concept of boundaries, consent, or, you know, basic decency? Must be nice living in that cartoon world where accountability disappears after a few shots. Truly, the philosopher of our time.

It’s honestly wild when people just make up a new story instead of reading what’s actually there.
The internet has taught me otherwise. It’s baffling.
Forcing yourself onto someone isn’t “cute” and the ML’s whole rational for manipulating the MC is gross.
True but we/u are here for it so sit down and enjoy this roller-coaster
Honestly, this story had me kicking and punching air. You dont know how much i wanted to punch that black haired dude right in the balls (๑❛ᴗ❛๑)
Honestly most are desensitized to the very creepy and even dangerous tropes that BL loved to perpetuate as being “cute” simply because the offender is attractive. I’ve been in situations like this and it’s certainly not hot when a man has you pinned down while you’re trying to escape but hey it’s so every entertaining isn’t it our MC was so cutely tricked hahahahahahahahaha
no like its actually so crazy cause ik if he was not a conventionally attractive man everyone would be pissed he forced himself on the ml, pretty privilege in bl is so annoying
In actually male tigers have nothing to do with child rearing in the wild and are essentially sperm donators
Truly one of the most beautifully written and drawn BL’s that I have seen on this website. Top tier.
So like had the Mc never showered naked? Even if his parents may have not told him of his fated love’s name, there is simply no logic that he would not have seen this name at any point in his life.
He probably has but not checked under his butt? Cuz lowkey when I try to it’s a big strain so even I’ve never seen beneath my butt cheek… I mean maybe if ur flexible you can but I just overall don’t think anyone would check under their butt cheek
Do you not wash you’re entire body?!
yes but can you actually see words inside your butt cheek when looking down? i think you need a mirror under you to notice
But it wasn’t actually inside his butt cheek from how it was drawn. It’s just the underside of the butt cheek fold that transitions into upper thigh.
Still, that is a pretty hard place to see, especially without him ever actively trying to check that area, which he never really had a reason to.
Yeah cause checking your ass in the mirror is a totally normal thing to do
I do but it’s just hard to actively look down underneath my butt cheek and I’m physically struggling to anyway
Do you look at your back when you wash it? Yup it's as simple as that
But it’s really not. It’s not his back. It’s literally his legs and butt. I have seen the entirety of this portion of my body today while showering and I will do so tomorrow as well. I just truly do not understand anyone arguing against having a hygienic full body regime that would require you not be aware of what parts your body look like other than literally the top of your head, behind your ears, or literally you’re asshole/vaginal canal
I know it’s fiction so I’m being facetious, but it’s like the street interview questions of do people wash their legs with soap and you know exactly the demographic who said they didn’t.iykyk.
How are you contorting to be able to see the underside of your butt naturally? If it was on the cheek or further down his leg, i can understand your argument, but it’s in the joining part of his thigh and butt. Unless your ass is flat as a board or you’re basically a contortionist, its basically impossible to see without a mirror.
Haha I admittedly do yoga and run.
Lmao men I was so shocked about that too I mean I didn't think it was even a question whether or not you should wash your legs
I know this is fiction but I’m genuinely disgusted by how realistic a piece of shit asshole the Alpha is. Like skin crawl piece of shit levels.
