┑(￣Д ￣)┍So essentially I like it.. but... it moved too fast. Like the relationship between Jamal and Leonard. It went from “let me humiliate you” to “I’m in love with you.” So fast I had to do a double take. Like... Leo was raped, in front of people, forced to ASK for it, taken repeatedly on the way to his new home, and then forced to be a bed warmer.. and then suddenly he loves the guy? Like Stockholm syndrome much? But at the same time it was barely developed... I feel like instead of 9-10 chapters it should be more like 30+ just to really capture the character development and truly show how how Leo is stupid enough to fall for the guy..
Alright.. so the smut and art is the only thing I like. I like the manga at its core, but... yeah..
I recall Isaac telling Jamal to take it easy on Leonard, when he was forcing him to engage in sex every day on their journey to the Middle East. I think it was Turkey. Anyhow, Leonard could have died from physical exhaustion.
Oh no baby, it ain’t about to be *that* easy. He is going to use you, break you, and sell you until you’re so fucked up you can’t see, walk or talk straight.
So the main character and his ex. He was probably having some codependency issues. He was comfortable yet happy in his relationship and because it was already established he was content. Some people are just content to let things be, and clearly he was willing to give her everything and anything because he didn’t want to lose her. (ie: paintings). But when you are comfortable and are used to the same thing over and over for 4yrs, why lose what’s already established and there? This is actually super common with people and relationships, but like the story shows.. eventually one party becomes sick of the relationship and BOOM cheating commences. So yeah... totally relatable. (Y’all know you have that one friend that is like this and you want to bash them with a bat.)
The seme is fucked up.
The first time it wasn’t rape. Let’s make that clear. It was obviously consensual to some extent even if the MC was drunk. He obviously wasn’t drunk enough to have blacked out and was swept away by raw emotions and bad decisions. I don’t remember reading for him to stop or get away other then being a little worried with his first time.. but he didn’t seem update about the sex at all.
However.. seme.. man I had hope for you. Like.. you’re desperate as fuck. Sleeping with the man you supposedly loves girl just because she paints like him.. stalker boy much?
And then you had to go and rape him. Like why couldn’t you do a nice dinner, maybe force a kiss and let him go. Plant the seed of love and let it bloom but instead you’re trying some quick grow bullshit. Like I’m happy you got punched, and stabbed. He’s got a paint fetish.. I feel bad for the MC because his personality it probably going to force him into the arms of the seme... but damn..
With that.. I’m not a huge fan of the art style, but I’m invested and will continue reading this train in hopes for some redeeming plot twist to make things better.
Like... idk how to feel about this entire story...
*I* feel dirty...
And I’m still trying to figure out if that’s a good feeling or not. (=・ω・=)
I’m invested. That’s one fact I know to be true.
I really love how the MC is exploring his sexuality. Unlike others I’ve read it just jumps straight to gay without much thought. Like they don’t question their relationship and are basically ok with everything. There’s usually like a generic “oh no, my family.. don’t hold my hand in public.” Situation but this. This is gold. We are exploring different types of sexuality, gay, bisexual, pansexual. Like thank you for this. I feel like more people are going to relate to this in a real type of way.
And let’s also show appreciation for the Internet forum, and the gay test (≧∀≦). It’s hilarious because it’s so REAL. even if you aren’t gay almost everyone has take the “how gay am I” test and have ventured into the gay forums asking for advice. The author seriously deserves kudos and high fives for the storyline. I’m excited for more.
I don’t want to me patient for anyone. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
But...
I will because even though my soul hurts just having to wait for days and weeks, and maybe one day months... I’ll bite my tongue... I’ll twiddle my thumbs! I’ll even try to have a LIFE! But.. in my heart I’ll cry, and beg and plead...
You can take away my outward crying but you can’t touch my sobbing inpatient soul. （/TДT)/
In truth though... I appreciate the update no matter when or how soon it comes. Lol. Thanks for the hard work to both the author and the translator. I’m in love with how everything is playing out and I’m excited how it’ll all play out. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Like... I feel like there’s a possibility that hanbit maybe hired him.. like a psychologist doing a favor for a friend and it’s turned into a sexual relationship.. like he’s associating everything junwoo doesn’t like with sex; almost like therapy. Like car sex, and the window scene and when he noticed junwoo shutting down he pushed for sex to make him forget. Idk. Like I feel there are good intentions there but it’s going to probably lead to misunderstanding over the real reason he moved into junwoos place, and it’ll be hanbit also at fault and then junwoo will probably hit a crisis of sorts and then yeah... like shit is gonna hit the fan sooner or later. (=・ω・=)
I love these two so much. They are adorable together and ima need them to make it all official. The butterflies I get watching them is real. ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Oh no, i didnt want to leave a dislike - i totally agree with you!
Plot twist!
Ma woojin isn’t dead but is actually Lim and siyeon is up in his feels and confused and is talking a lot to hide it. He’s never been fully honest with taekyung and the last bit was out of character for a “typical” siyeon response. He’s just sugar coating his words to hide his true intentions and feels from taekyung. Siy is either gonna cry, get pissed, or leave.. maybe all three.. but there is no way that woojin is dead. There is something fishy going on with lim and the lim boyfriend guy that I forget the name of... someone is about to betray taekyung and I have a feeling it’s going to be someone close to him.
Exactly! We,ve never seen Lim, he is suspicious.
Sirang is totally upset and worried. He cares for ho..
Like I see him more now.
All he wants is an honest relationship. He doesn’t care if ho depends on him or comes to him for things but communication needs to be there too. Or more like *trust*. Ho just doesn’t trust easily and for sirang I think he’s having a hard time with that because he wants to protect ho... aww it’s really sad. I also think that he’s angry and is misdirecting his anger. Idk.. I feel for them.. ┗( T﹏T )┛
And yeah so what is sirang was a douche canon in the beginning.. he’s truly stepped up his game.
