Idk about y’all but if I PURPOSEFULLY read a psychological story no matter how much I dislike it I never give it bad rating (this isnt to say I give it a good rating) and I wanted to know if thats also like with you all? Personally I believe its stupid because I went with the expectation that its psychological so its gonna have fucked up shit but again that also doesn’t inherently mean I should like it…
Theres good psychological and bad just as does every genre. But I see how you would justify the negative by the fact it’s psychological but idk I feel like you can tell whether it’s portrayed well or incorporated well by the author. But also I hardly rate stories bc it’s hard to put a number on stories imo but yeah thats what I think
you said it yourself, “its gonna have fucked up shit but again that also doesnt inherently mean i should like it”. accepting that you dont like something because its not for you is very valid. everyone has their own opinions ofc and if you just dont like it, then give it a bad rating its not that deep. i like something - good rating. i dont like it- bad rating. it is ok mediocre- mid rating. but you need to accept that when it comes to psychological stuff, when you personally dont like it because you cant handle it, it doesnt mean that others wont. but if you dislike that for other reasons, then live ur life
I mean my fav genre is psychological, most of my favourite belongs in that category so im very judgy
If we’re talking about “dark romance” (psychological series with romance involved) If the author just throws shit around like rape to please certain readers / for shock value or any other unreasonable stuff that isn’t necessary for the character’s development i will give a bad rating. There are so many ways you can portray it, you cant just randomly add this and add that.
I know its supposed to ruin you mentally at some point but i dont tolerate bad writing lol
For Psychological with no romance, i usually eat it up but again i judge poorly written story
Just because you purposely sought out certain genres doesn't guarantee you're gonna have a good or bad time. Doesn't matter what your INTENTIONS were, it's how your experience went and that is exactly why you should rate it how you felt after completing. It's pretentious to think you shouldn't rate something negatively because you brought it upon yourself. Also, turn that logic around and would it make sense to say "I purposely read fluff genre but no matter how much I like it, I never give it a good rating." No, it wouldn't lol. Ratings is not about intent, it's about experience.
Yall dropped any manhwa or manga or anything just cuz yall didnt like the art?
Personally I never try to let the art bother me I am all for the plot. But i COULD NAWT with Tears On A Withered Flower when literally she is so broke she has to skip meals. Like the body is too unrealistic. I seriously cannot ignore it, like the artstyle is so fucking good (that one panel where the ml lit the FUCKING CIGARETTE LIKE THE ILLUMINATION OH MY GOD????????) but that disproportion isnt it (︶︿︶)
Maybe I will pick it up in the future some day
Honestly i cannot read properly if i dislike the artstyle even if it has good plot or whatsoever, idk why too
It's crazy and baffling to me how most of y'all just want Gren dead??
Is your notion of addiction fucked up because of the amount of yandere shit you guys have read or are you guys just not able comprehend the fact that Gren has an ADDICTION.
He is literally obsessed with Shin that's how real obsession and dependency looks like.
I swear you all will hate anything that's realistic and not romanticised.
Gren is literally one of the if not the most well written characters in the story. The way the authors are able to capture his pathetic dependency on Shin is really impressive.
Shin is literally the only family he has. He was the only stable figure in Gren's life growing up. It was therefore natural for Gren to be attached to the point that he was obsessed with Shin. Shin was Gren's safe place. One where he knew he couldn't get hurt.
He truly loves Shin even if for you guys he appears to be "annoying" and "clingy". He is ready to do better for him and even went for rehab solely because of it. And it's sad how you all are demeaning him instead of encouraging him.
Exactly dude people love shit till it isn't romanticized
I don’t want him dead but I really dislike addicts, because I’ve seen both types of people who get into shitty situations, and one chooses to get help while the other lets themself get worse 7-7 I’m just projecting tho, I doubt anyone would ever want him dead if this was real life
But in this case he IS trying to get better but the people here just won’t see it. Maybe because they think its because Gren looks like he loves him in a romantic way because of his dependence in Shin? (Thought this is me projecting)
And while it is true if it was real most people wouldn’t want him dead but his character is very realistic and there are people like that in real life infact there is a case quite like this dependence where people refused to see his deranged mental state and continued to no accept him.
Mental problems are real and it is still overlooked in so many parts of the world and therefore it pisses me that people actually wish Gren was dead.
Bless your heart. Gren is definitely a well written character who gave so much depth to Shin's backstory. He also was the reason Shin was finally able to trust Jake after the gun incident. Despite his major flaws and reckless behavior, Shin never gave up on his little brother and seeing Jake risking his life to save Gren's ass all for Shin's sake was the turning point in their relationship
