For anyone considering reading this: the raws go up to chapter 22 and the last update was months ago. Season 1 was supposed to end on 28-30 chapters, but after the author announced that in their note (late february 2025), there has been no more news. The author also said in the note that they're struggling with their health and were supposed to get (eye) surgery, but a c-netizen on xiaohongshu said the author announced on weibo that they will be taking commisions late 2025 to early 2026 and that they've apparently been to comic conventions as well. The author has previously discontinued one of their manhuas according to the c-netizen.
All this to say that it is very possible this manhua will be (or already has been) discontinued as well. However, until we have confirmation, it is possible that it will continue. I should mention that I have nothing against the author and they have every right to not continue with this manhua for any reason. I'm just letting the few people, who find this know what's going on.
Omg noooooo
I hope they recover!!!!
This was such an interesting read
The author wrote in their note that there will be side stories, BUT the author's note was published at the end of december 2023 and the side stories were said to drop "in the first half of next year". Sadly nothing has been published and as far as I'm aware no news on them either. Oh yeah next chapter is the finale btw.
And then they shot me 53 times
Wait, I just checked on ridibooks and it does seem to have side stories??? I couldn't find them on the korean manhwa sites I use though.
https://ridibooks.com/author/135108#books I haven't verified my age, so I can't read them on here myself.
FALSE ALARM! I FOUND THEM XD https://newtoki468.com/webtoon/48823922?toon=BL/GL

Honestly, I think it's fair to want more verse (and switch!) couple representation. Most queer men are verse or have at least tried both roles, but like 90% of BLs have exclusive top/bottom couples. I don't think that every couple should be verse (nor that this couple should definitely be verse), but how disproportionate it is to real life is giving heteronormative and fetishization (which is a whole can of worms ).
Although it's definitely weird how people want the couple to be verse only when they are both buff. Some people definitely demand it just to fit their personal preference rather than considering the characters' dynamic. I feel like they're seen as "equals" in the relationship and are both often portrayed as "having top energy" (aka from how they look, there isn't a portrayal of your stereotypical top and bottom), which means they both are seen to have the potential to be on top — something a stereotypical BL couple doesn't have.
Is it really too much to ask for more twink tops with buff/"average" bottom? Or a twink couple?? I think it's fair to want BL in general to have more variety as well as better and more accurate representation, because so much of it is based on stereotypes, is very unrealistic, or is problematic (so much damn romanticization and normalization of noncon and dubcon — for example, just the straight-up pornographic rape or the sex scenes where the bottom says "it hurts," "no," and "stop," and the top doesn't stop. Like dude, even if the bottom is feeling pleasure, you should always listen to your partner and make sure they're comfortable, thx
Today I found out that mangago has a character limit
Here's the continuation of whatever this is:
At the end of the day, though, writers have the freedom to write what they want, and readers have the freedom to read and enjoy what they want — even if others find it weird, don't agree with what it depicts, nor enjoy it. Doesn't mean I won't judge people for having weird-ass opinions and taste. Like, what do you mean you ship the victim with his abuser and it's canon as well
Good job at glamorizing abuse!!
Also, I want to add that having these types of fantasies (for example a forced sex fantasy) isn't inherently bad and can be explored in a safe and consensual way. As long as it isn't happening without consent and it's acknowledged that these should remain as fantasies and roleplay — I personally think it's okay. The problem with it in BL (and other media) is that we are shown seemingly ordinary romantic relationships, but they're full of dubious and non-consent, which is far from normal. People who are abused don't actually ever love their abuser, even if it seems like they do.
Uhh, my new ADHD meds are working too well, it's 7am, I'm still awake and I have strong opinions. Anyway I went waaayy off topic, but to whoever read this chaotic mess till the end — thank you for listening to my TED talk xd
Shutline not being switch is DIABOLICALLY CRIMINAL!!
It’s soooooo unrealistic knowing Shin’s personality lol.
True vers is more common. I understand why it can contradicting to real life that switch pairings story doesn’t make up the majority of bl population. but it’s just that most writers (some queer writers too) prefer to link their characters exclusive to one role, which isn’t enough to paint it as a stereotype, rather more like a preference thing. but it’ll be judged by how they portray their characters and story. When it comes to intimacy position, there aren’t just Top, bottom, and vers but Top-verse, Bottom-verse, Vers-bottom, Vers-top. Bara is usually written by gay men for gay men and there aren’t many vers either from what I’ve seen so far (I could be wrong). What’s annoying about all of this, is most people want them to switch only because they like a submissive and pretty crybaby bottom more as if there isn’t enough representation exist out there and could be seen as trad/stereotypical. while some hopes for it due to the lack of vers couple, understandable though it might still come off as infuriating since pretty characters are stereotypically chosen as bottom. Moreover, he solely agreed to it not out of desire but out of desperation since he would rather bottom for him is that means he won’t sleep with somebody else. literally zero potential for a switch, yet people can’t stop yapping. Unless it’s “sure you can top me, I feel like receiving anyway” then the hyung concurred because he was serious but it remains just a conversation. only then that it’s reasonable to complain. While you want you them to switch you to understand the character’s willingness and nature too. Just like when you ship two characters, if there isn’t much chemistry, it’ll be dry as heck exactly. You’re free to express your opinion except it’s offensive, irritating, wrong on some circumstances.
I’m not sure if I’m making any sense lol.
Wait Shin wants to top the blonde guy?
Did he ever say he want to top him? I haven’t catch up with it. I think Shin used to be a top or is a vers but I remember he only wants to bottom for Jay (What’s his name again lol). there’s nothing wrong with switch bls though, I enjoy a few switch bls as well :) but just because they’re a vers doesn’t mean they want or need to to switch with any characters, unless both parties wish for it. I’m not a fan of switch stories in general since I don’t like changes and adjustment. Particularly, the one that wasn’t hinting versatile from the first place until later because it’ll be difficult for me to accustom than the other.
Character’s fascination and nature*
Respectfully, I think Shin only wants to be Jay’s slutty bottom. Didn’t he say he loves riding a submissive police man lol and dominative bottoming Jay not the other way around? maybe he might want to top others though. Jay has no inclination to bottom either.
Not qualified for a switch imo.
Eg. This BL that is certified for switching but the author actually baited it: https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/love_me_dramatically/
The top showed curiosity and agreed to bottoming, except it didn’t happen. only this type of situation will make it justifying to complain about it not being a vers couple. although switch bl is not my cup of tea, I’m also kind of mad at it
I apologies for multiple replies or spamming and long ass respond lol.
While you want them to switch you have to understand and respect the character’s fascination and nature too.* I made a lot of typos dammit
Well I was indeed incorrect, switch couple is more common in bara.
Let's play a game of will they switch or are they switchbaiting!
You know what team I am? Team Ian being happy! Irrespective of if and who he ends up with. Can't say I don't prefer endgame to be Jo, cause Ian isn't actually happy being around TJ and all that it brings. How many years of knowing each other and the relationship has gotten nowhere?? You can still have fondness for people (or memories of them), but also cut them off if they become detrimental to you and your wellbeing.
Y'know what I'm actually team Ian goes to therapy and finds happiness alone no TJ OR Jo
Hahaha 'my dear homosexual' I can't with him. Garam's so sassy
He makes a good point one second and the next he's talking out his ass Though it annoys me when nothing is ever mentioned about bisexuality. It's not like you're straight when in a hetero relationship and then magically gay when in a homosexual relationship. Like it ain't that big a deal, but it also is y'know?
As much as I love a good groveling arc (which im hoping will happen), i think i prefer a pathetically in love seme more. So sad Woori isn't endgame :-((
Honestly I agree with all the criticism, but it's so hard to find even passable bl manhwa now I'd take this over something like codename anastasia or passion anyday. I'm kinda just ignoring how pushy and extra weird he was in the beginning.
They just start dating and won't address the comment Hugo made nor will he apologize
oh wow thats wack
oh damn
no way....Σ( ￣□￣||)
