I'm gonna leave my morals at the door for Shinjoo. Why is this unhinged pervert so hot lol
This wasn't even a bad read, why were so many ppl complaining that they dropped it?? As long as you don't take it seriously, it was really funny and pretty hot
It's not often that I end up in tears from episode 0 of a new story, but here we are. What was that?! How did the author convey such concentrated emotions and feelings in those few panels, before any introductions even??
Idk how the rest will be, but just that ep alone is enough for me to be impressed.
Aaron is so real for that. If I had Yujin looking at me sexily and sweetly like that I would have caused a whole public indecency scene right then and there
Jiwon has so much anxiety thinking every small issue and argument is the end of the relationship that he ends up spouting so much bs! WHO TF tells their partner "oh maybe I should date someone else so I can be more experienced and not make mistakes with you" and thinks it'll be anything other than a stab in the heart for Jungwoo???
I hope some squirting can help him release the bad juju so they can have a good talk and he can open up about what's going through his adorable, but tormented head.
Are there people concerned with bestiality? IN THIS STORY?? What do you think you're reading bro, a cozy farming simulator? In any case, based on that pink freaky little creature there's definitely monsterfucking here (even if it's part of G), but the human-animal hybrids are all fully sentient, at least human-level intelligent and mature so there's no sign of bestiality (so far).
Edit: if any of these themes/tags isn't your thing, ofc filter it out. I'm just talking about those comments clutching their pearls at the thought, as if the rest of what's happening in the story so far is some wholesome vanilla stuff and only adding THAT would make it shocking
It's a nice read. Rather realistic in its portrayal of characters, even some of the more absurd events of the beginning. It had a focus on healing from past trauma, facing your own bias in order to change and being selfish in love without letting your feelings and needs come at the cost of your partner's well-being and autonomy.
The pacing was at times rushed, the dialogue (or the translation at least) often felt awkward, the art was ok - despite all that I liked it and would recommend sticking with it cause it pays off. Oh and the end was definitely not planned to be this abrupt, but oh well.
Twin sneks are here!! But there's only one more episode left of them (ends at ep 51) T_T
It's actually scary that I've been in this exact situation (I'm sure other ppl have, too). The phone call from your drunk, mentally unstable ex whom you've been worrying for endlessly, while you're trying not to fall back into the habits that exhausted you for years.
You're terrified and want to prevent the worst, but you know this'll keep happening and how the hell will it ever change? You feel resentment that you tried everything for them and they still didn't commit to trying to get better, helpless because you want them to be safe and happy, guilty that you want to escape them, stupid cause you wish your love would be enough to help them face their issues.
Realistically, the recovery from all this is slow, long, non-linear - with both realizing they need to get help. With it being especially difficult for Jiho to build a support system of people whom he can turn to and new routines. Yes, it could include Yujun, but not depend on him solely. And definitely not as a romantic partner for years more.
Fictionally? Idk I'll keep reading
As someone who really enjoys this story overall, so I do feel for the characters and I don't see it as just porn, I WISH sex between the main couple was actually, properly consent-based. Like, that would be the exact contrast needed from the abusive ex partner for the narrative to flourish! I don't mind Joohwan trying stuff out cause he suspects that Yeonsoo would like it too, but he's apprehensive about letting go of his hesitations and enjoying it - for many valid reasons. I DO mind Joohwan not knowing when to stop and ease into it!
I have a somnophilia kink and it'd be an absolute DREAM if the author showed Yeonsoo exploring it, being interested in it, agreeing to it beforehand and then enjoying it. So whyyy did they take it away from us T_T
I feel like what is happening is consistent with the characters. ML is introduced as kind of an asshole so it makes sense he wouldn’t be 100% green flag. MC has a ton of abandonment and grooming so it makes sense that he would accept that kind of behavior from ML and possibly even like it. When he woke up and ML pulled out he protested so I def think this one of the few versions of actual dubcon I have ever seen in a BL. The MC actually says ‘no, no don’t stop I actually like it.” Reminds me of line from that silverchair song “Come on, abuse me more I like it.” Not the healthiest relationship for sure but I’m here for it.
I didn't say it wasn't in line with the characters as they were introduced to us, but they've progressed from how they originally were. And while they're not gonna change completely to the healthiest version of themselves overnight, it would still be very nice to see them try at least in this aspect that's the ONE thing that Yeonsoo was subjected to during some of the worst times of his life. This assumed dubcon approach isn't a development that goes hand in hand with the narrative that he's moving on from the abusive tactics his ex used. If that changes, good. If it doesn't, it will be my main disappointment with the story.
Also, if you read what I wrote you can see that I'm not against (more like, in favor of) Joohwan being pushy with the things he wants to try out with Yeonsoo, since he wants him to be more honest and in touch with his desires and not hold back out of his various fears. It can be uncomfortable, but it's also very encouraging and liberating, but in Yeonsoo's case I think it's still pushing it too far with how he doesn't ease into it more.
Ofc relationships even irl aren't perfect and don't always warrant a breakup despite of their issues, let alone in a fictional comic meant for enterainment. But they had the chance to do something that I believe would've been far more satisfying while still being true to the characters' nature and they didn't. So I'm voicing that, while I still read and appreciate the story.
I did read what you wrote. I just have a different reaction and different point of view to the story and was just sharing that. I don’t think we need to have the same point of view. For me personally, I really like how the story is going and it has so far been a very satisfying read. I also do understand why you find it unsatisfying.
MC kind of reminds me of the MC in the manwha “There, not there.” Actually the ML hugely green flag. Have you read it? I think you might like it. It has some plot similarities.
I do find their story satisfying and enjoyable in many ways, just falling short of my hope for a more deliberate exploration of its themes in their relationship, not just in relation to the ex. There's still alot left to see though (I'm only catching up with the officials), so I'm curious how they go forward.
And ty for the recommendation, I haven't read it but will do!
I agree with you, some people can't hear someone else's opinions without giving a novel back to "change your mind" as we can see lol
Explaining myself to make what I meant clear is convincing someone and not accepting their opinion? So what you're saying probably applies to you more than me :)
This is so hilarious, I actually love the dynamic between them
