This bonus backstory doesn’t actually make Taewoon better it just means he was too much of a coward to actually properly face yusung in “being there”. I understand it’s a reality of thoughts and feelings going unsaid and being misconstrued but rather it seems Taewoon didn’t want to be bothered with the reality of his importance to Yusung and left him to the wolves. It’s honestly sad more than anything else and makes me want Yusung even more not to end up with him during his second chance at life. Yusung should be happy with someone who openly loves and cares for him not someone whose roundabout indecisions literally cost him his life(happiness).
Nothing against sex workers but why do authors continue to always have a virgin x call boy as a legitimate pairing? No virgin is going to feel comfortable having a first time partner who regularly engages in sex so casually and no sex worker is going to give up their job for a partner so romantically inexperienced they are unsure in their comfort and boundaries within the relationship. It’s a trope that is so absurd in its lack in realism.
Not to mention how shitty the experience was for the virginal MC he literally paid someone to fulfill his fantasy and this man did absolutely nothing his client asked only got off the way HE wanted to. There’s no way he’d be a good romantic partner when he can’t even do his actual job of satisfying his client properly.
dude my thoughts exactly XD though I suppose calling a sex worker for your first time isn't that unrealistic especially if you're older, it's just easier that way... but the rest is a bit "ugh not this again" (￣∇￣") I wouldn't mind it if this trope was used sparingly but it's soooooo common!!! this and the mangaka x assistant trope lol I'm so tired of them but I keep on reading them anyway ╮(￣▽￣)╭ and yeah he was a total cunt but I'm curious to see how it's gonna play out even though the outcome is already pretty much set in stone ~
This must be a huge gap because he literally a child rescued by a grown adult….
The ML is trash and I feel so bad for Sarah constantly being dragged into baseless rumors and made a pariah specifically because of the ML actions causing so much outward confusion despite him being utterly superficial and disingenuous about his actions as they relate to Sarah. How are you going to fuck the supposed love of your life 's male best friend and purposely hide the fact then turn around and pester said "love interest" to marry you? Woojin is honest to god hot garbage. And Moonblossum the dumbass that he is allows himself to aid in this secret and still think Woojin is a sincere person. I'm blown by the stupidity.
Honestly with how deep and truly terrible an experience Tou went through to have this chapter were his trauma was just told to shizuka without his permission, to then later reveal said trauma later on only to end with so now let’s have sex that’s the cure to overcoming lingering trauma…. I’m just at a loss for words how horribly this was handled and someone actually wrote this. I’m actually disgusted.
Author-nim said “I ain’t encouraging romanticizing toxic abusive relationships and adding to bizarre weirdos fap banks” my crazy readers’ tears fuel my glee. We stan a mentally sane artist.
I don’t know if it’s the translation but the dialogue or rather I should say Mc’s thought process doesn’t make any sense nor does it ever seem to make sense. He tends to just make entire scenarios in his head that come across as ridiculous, maybe it’s intrusive thoughts because of this unpredicted situation he finds himself him, but he just seems to lack sense half the time.
I think it’s because the translation is not good, so I think that’s why the dialogue seems off
I mean you could be right. But I just think the author has written an utterly idiotic main character veering on simply being an asshole.
It’s kind of exhausting how emotional imbalance and mental illness is just cured by being in a relationship. Seunghyuk needs series therapy not some cliche love bombing grand gesture to win Woojin back. It’s emotionally manipulative and honestly Woojin doesn’t deserve this. It’d be nice if they eventually got together but seriously not like this and certainly not just so Seunghyuk can feel better about his actions. He hasn’t even had a moment to actually consider the full extent of how he treated Woojin. It’s why to this day the only BL that’s done it right with emotional development is My Starry Sky with this sort of dynamic of within its leads. Admitted it’s a shounen ai however.
So he has the worst family imaginable. The worst love interest imaginable. And in the happy ending is accepting he was treated like garbage and abused by EVERYONE around him? I give up. I’m checked out. I don’t want this brain anymore.
I really don’t understand what the author has the Ulysses and Randolph side story. You know it’s fan service at its peak for its straight cis female readers when Ulysses’s harem of men who we learned he acquired out of sport through your standard manipulation and underhanded methods that when a stereotypical masculine presenting dominate characters displays readers call foul but when a femme character does it- further playing into the very real stereotypes of “dangerous predatory” gay language surrounding men unable to hide their more obvious sexual inclination- it’s seen as a great achievement to be celebrated. Worse Ulysses has actually physically and sexually assaulted Randolph an act that got a previous shitty blond king assassinated for his harem of sexually dominated playthings subjected to regularly. It’s ironic that Ulysses is a direct juxtaposition to the Demonic king but he gets his own side story and is celebrated for it. It’s gross but ultimately is so expected why am I even bothering myself, but I do want to point out to readers that this subplot is just as problematic as the main story we so angrily sided with in hope for a predator’s demise, but here is celebrated.
