You know that meme like “anime so good and then author decides to add unnecessary incest trope”? It’s this, but for this manhwa.
It started so good. The supernatural, MC’s personality, the mystery of the drug case, ML - everything started so good. I gobbled that shit so fast like a man starved. But then the plot just… got all over the place.
First, I don’t get why write such a good premise and turn it into just a pure porn. I don’t mind sex in manhwa, but like… if I wanted to read porn - I would have gone and read it. I came here for a good plot, but most of it got shoved under a rug, because most of the time MCs would just fuck and the plot became something that pushes *itself* in the background.
Again, nothing wrong with sex in BL manhwas, but if you set up such a good story - why just make it about sex? But it’s my personal opinion.
Second, we need to address the elephant in the room. What the fuck is up with incest in this manhwa. It was NOT necessary. And not only MCs brother wanted to fuck him, but then turns out their UNCLE was in love with their FATHER (aka uncle’s brother). Like… WHY WAS IT NECESSARY TO ADD TO THE STORY??? It wasn’t even frowned upon in the story??? Literally no one in the manhwa was like “Ayo, that’s really fucking fucked up. Why are you still LIVING with your brother that tried to rape you???”. Also, why is MC so chill about it??? WHY IS ML CHILL ABOUT IT???????
When I found out about their father and uncle my jaw was literally on the floor and I needed a minute to process this whole plot. Again, it wasn’t necessary. And what repulses me is how author makes it… normal?
In the end, nothing wrong with liking the manhwa, but I am side-eyeing people who ignore incest in this/justify it or even worse… find it hot. You CANNOT justify it or argue about it.
I just don’t get it why it has such a high rating and why people call it “underrated” or “masterpiece”. Like girl… Let’s face it. It is porn with lazy plot and a lot of fetishisation of incest. There is nothing genius about it.
And for people who think this is actually masterpiece… Please go read more books, novels and manhwas to broaden your horizons.
