Bruh I just want it to be the second couple's turn cause they look so much more interesting
ML manchild literally had a temper tantrum cause it's oh so difficult for him not to abuse 'out of love'.... Manipulation 101, some of you will see it as 'ah he must love him cause he's so honest and tells him to run away before his love ruins MC'. Well I see it as a pity party of a sick man with fucked up attachment style. 'Look at me ,how I'm suffering MC. I treat you like shit all the time, but no, in reality, I'm the victim'. This story, yet again, portrays an abuser perfectly.
Telling someone you'd love to break their limbs and keep them in a basement is not the vibe, it's not even hot lmao
I'd be convinced the ML has some sort of love or compassion for MC only if he forces him to leave his obsessive ass. If he lets MC stay, I know dude is utter trash.
WELL SAID
Thanks
Serves you right, asshole. This world would've been so much better if pieces of shits like this story's top would suffer like that. The mental anguish, losing everything he's worked for, falling from his arrogant, psychopathic high trip, it's so beautiful. I WANNA SEE HIM BROKEN
Yes his downfall is the key representation of karma and how you treat others will eventually be reflected on you. Hes got alot of redeeming to do
Yeah, I wish it was like that irl... Do you think he's redeemable at all tho? Would be veeeeery difficult imo
Nah the bottom is an insufferable cunt. Idc about his insecurities and issues, dude has more than enough possibilities to better himself and he gets reassurance from his beautiful partner so DO BETTER AND STOP HITTING AND PUNCHING THIS BEAUTIFUL MAN. The top is waaaay to fucking good for the bottom imo. I guess the author wanted to show what it's like when a messy, insecure person gets with a healthy, golden retriever type, but it's so sad to see the top be happy with just crumbs from his piece of shit boyfriend... Verbal abuse, physical abuse, and it's not cute just cause a big, buff dude endures it or laughs it off...
pretty sure the point here is that the bottom is a freako and the top is really into it. like it's very evident that he's fucked in the head and that adds to the absurdity of the story.
Sure, but it doesn't change the fact it's an abusive situation. Selling this story as some sort of quirky masochism and people eating it up is hilarious
no shit it's weird, but that's like saying we shouldn't like the addams family bc of child endangerment. we all know that shit will never fly in real life and anyone with 2 braincells to rub together should call the cops the moment they can, but we're looking at a fantasy freak4freak situation that's not meant to be taken seriously. if the author wants to write a healthy relationship, then we can examine where they fail at that by looking at red flags, signs of abuse, etc in the characters. but the author wants to write brainless stupid crack, so we will treat it like brainless stupid crack. this is where media analysis comes to play and you cannot treat every work the same way and expect the plot/relationship dynamic to be executed in the same fashion.
well prolly the seme dgaf bout ur opinion too, he knows hows the bottom is like n still be with him. say tht to him he prolly defend his man n thts his preference
Only good thing about this is the pretty art style and the potentially hot sex scenes between the phantom and Chris.
Also, pls no Anastasia OMG YOU HAVE A BDSM DOM CHAMBER moment, istg, you were raped and saved by a ghost with anger issues bro, bdsm is your least issue.
OMG I can't wait for the side couple tbh. Whenever they introduce the sparks between a potential side couple too early, I stop caring for the main one lol. And the side couples just hit different. I like the other bottom better, he seems smart and cool, and I like the big gentle giant energy from the other side ML.
I'M SUCH A SUCKER FOR LONG, BLACK HAIR + A BOD THAT COULD FIGHT A GORILLA, the ML is so fucking fine. I love how he also stopped and was concerned about the MC being in pain his first time with an anaconda dick.
Okay yeah, ML' psyche is a textbook anxious attachment and PTSD. That's the first type of controlling, possessive ML in BL that I can empathize with and actually understand where he's coming from cause it's not out of malice, but super deep trauma. Dude really wants to feel wanted and securely attached. I felt so sorry for him when his backstory was shown.
I found the sequence where the ML doubted MC's confession and let his own anxious attachment shine through very well made. It's a very logical reaction according to his trauma and consistent with what he's been through. It's rare to see in BL with messy characters/plots, and it adds real depth to the characters and their reactions to each other. Surprisingly enjoyable read so far. (Pls no more baby talk during sex. Maybe it's also a trauma thing, like ML projecting his stunted growth and lack of childly love onto the MC... Yeah, Ill view it this way)
Ik I felt like crying when I read his backstory it just felt raw and the guilt is something readers can relate to. I also feel like a lot of bl will put in a sad backstory JUST to excuse their toxic and or abusive actions but this one feels like I’m reading an actual character with valid reasons for the way he feels. While alot of characters mostly tops have a very toxic masculinity thing going on and almost act like they have no emotions and are just horny assholes. This one feels more realistic.Yeah the baby talk is pretty strange.
Exactly, very well said!! The characters here don't serve a trope (bad boy but sad backstory, so excuse his behavior) or the top who's only horny and doesn't show any other emotion other than anger, so they feel much more organic. The ML's guilt felt especially visceral and defining for his character, and his core fear.
I also like how the top here enjoys the sex just as much and sorta melts into horny lol, not just the MC. And the MC also seems to have a complex inner life, especially the fact he can't be upfront about his past and has reservations due to fear of rejection. This itself is a very typical dynamic - someone like ML who's very anxious and preoccupied, and the MC who's more reserved and closed off.
Uh, excuse me, DAE DAE?! FEED THE HUNGRY BABY FIRST (WHILE RAMMING HIS COCK INSIDE)?!? Nah, that baby talk is nasty af, it's giving some borderline pedo age regression play, the ML is not hot freaky, just weird freaky.
Some things I actually enjoy about this manhwa, like apologizing for shitty behavior, acknowledging toxic stuff etc (it brings more realism and humanity into the characters), but gosh, the sex baby talk is messy. The ML also clearly has raging abandonment issues and is controlling, referring to his own partner as a 'pet' (and a baby ew). I'm still excited to see how their dynamic progresses while reading
yeah i totally had to skip past that bc it was weird affff
Same tbh, I cringed hard
Rereading this hot garbage because the second couple is so fucking good it hurts
