everytime one of u dense creatures misreads a character's motives, and why they act a certain way, an angel loses its wings yall be missin the point sometimes

*describes really graphic rape fantasy*
“you seem like a decent guy, you should give it a shot”

Sorry, but I don't want to see kids doing stuff.

Fuck these people on the comments are pissing me off. Do y'all ever get bullied/seen someone get bullied in real life??? Do y'all understand how bullying works? Fucking hell. Bullies choose their victims BEFORE they do the bullying, so whether you stay quiet or fight back, they'll bully you either way! If you're being docile, they're gonna step more and more past the line, but if you fight back, they'll hate that you think you can oppose them!

Do you think if Jun fight back everyone would side with him because they hate bullies? No fucking way. Do you know why bystander acting they way they do? Because they don't wanna get tangled up in the situation and ended up being the next victim.

Have you ever went to Korean high school? If not then shut the fuck up, you're showing your stupidity and ignorance by not trying to understand the situation than Jun is in. Bullying 'culture' in Korea and America is different, even if fighting back works in America, it might not work in Korea. A solution to bullying is not one fit all. Fight back? Well try telling that to thousands of high school bullying victims that took their own lives!

Can Jun stop acting so calculating and just live proper life? What do you think he's doing? He's trying his best to stay at the top without having to bully anyone and not get bullied. Why do you think he has the nerve to stop Minho from bullying Taesan? It's because he was sure everyone and Yohan would be on his side. That was the result of his 'useless calculation bullshit'.

I know some of y'all turned off your brains when reading yaoi, me too. But don't spew nonsense like you actually don't have brain at all!

See what's absolutely blowing tf out of me is the mere fact that others have to explain themselves as to why rape should never be romanticized. It's unfortunately is a lot of comics nowadays but that doesn't mean that you should tell others to stop complain about rape. It's wrong and that's it. Why are you even stating reasons as to why: "if you don't like it click off". Like what? At this point it's past the point of weird kinks. It's just weird and disgusting as fuck.

It's even the fact that I had to explain that incest, pedophilia and rape was wrong in the comment section on a mahwa/Bl and was instantly met with: It's psychological horror. It's in the tags? Ok, that still doesn't explain anything. A story can have psychological horror with thr copious amounts of assault. It's either your pilfering for views or--once again, you're weird as fuck.

The general storyline is great- don't get me wrong. But it would do wonders without rape in the plot.

I'm not sure what twisted mindset you grew up on yo accept things at face value and do nothing, but at least keep the stupid fucking comments yourself. Spouting useless bullshit trying to justify your reasoning for rape is nasty and disgusting. I would say touch grass, but I doubt that'd help.

All in all, telling someone that they should click off for triggers and that it is fictional is nefarious. Fictional? Yea, it is. But it is also a reflection on societal relationships. So wrap up the dumbfuckeey and keep it pushing. I can't believe people like you all these days accept assault, rape, incest and pedophilia at face value. That's disgusting as fuck and you should get an evaluation of your character if you can read something and not question it.

It's never about separating fiction from reality. It's the mere fact of you accepting said situation in either form. I can separate them. But if you can separate them and have no questions about this genre going mainstream, then take a step back and ask yourself: If I were in that situation would I accept it? It's all about the functional brain process and how you perceive things. Clearly more people need to take sociology classes.

Gotta love how the person who chocked and brutally raped him is treated like what he did was a slap on the wrist and he gets a happy 'heartfelt' ending with his victim. And this ladies and gentlemen doesn't get the horror tag it deserves, no. It's romance. Mc gets blamed by ml for something he didn't do, without being given a chance to explain himself AT ALL and gets brutally raped for it, with ml justifying being a rapist over the fact that he considers mc a bad person. And for what? Spreading a bad rumor! Lmao, a rapist calls someone who spread a rumor (actually didn't) a bad person. Well, dear ml, guess what gets you jail time. Aside from the obvious assault, he was also making assumptions based on NOTHING but his own bias. And his punishment? A single slap amd they have sex. Literally the ONLY time it was consensual. Dude is so impulsive and violent he's a danger to society.

I won't even comment on the plot which was boring as fuck. The manhwa was nothing but a freaking shitshow.

im baffled....dude raped him multiple times and has the audacity to say "i liked u since the beginning" yea alright mf....this shit normalizing rape is nasty.

Omg. I just read the author other work that's explain why this is a shitty story hahaha. Remove the shoujo-ai tag! This author is a porn addict! Drawing a high schoolers in a porn wtf

Chat is it even cheating if the relationship is dead in the damn water? Bro's "boyfriend" is clearly not even a participant anymore. The bar for Mako is SO low

Electric chair to those who are reading this and don't mind how fucked up the age gap is. But most of all, the strongest electric chair should be reserved for the author.

Ahahah comment section on fire. This being a fiction doesn’t make it less irritating. There is a grown, adult man and a kid. That’s all. That man can love a boy when he is still a middle schooler (stilldisgustingbutlet’ssayokay) but he should not influence him or put him in a relationship like that.

He especially manipulated him with rejecting and “you love me but you don’t aware” plan. Kid thought his feeling were just adore why did you made him believe it’s not? Why didn’t wait for him to graduate from high school? Why did you have sex with him while he’s still student? There are so many power imbalance in this relationship like a adultxkid or studentxteacher. He doesn’t have a proper family who can protect him from any kind of harm, he doesn’t have anyone to rely on except from ml. This is frustrating.

This is not about being fiction or reality guys, what is wrong is wrong. If you agree with this wrong but still choose to read, it okay ofc it’s your choice, enjoy it. But if you don’t find all of this wrong and disturbing, then go find a therapist.

I started reading this when I was in high school and thought it was cute and now as a teacher I find this so disturbing Masahiro looks and acts like a kid and I can't see why a grown adult would be attracted to that unless they are a pedophile. I know that I don't have to read it and I won't continue to, but comments are for sharing thoughts and I'm just sharing my thoughts.

Man, I always tried to fool myself into ignoring the age gap but I just can't anymore, these last updates made me feel gross.
And I can't help to feel like Masahiro is mature in many aspects, but emotionally immature like any other teenager. He's being treated as a housewife (in Kousuke's words, even) and does everything around the house, while his grown ass adult "boyfriend" relies almost entirely on him. Masahiro even works more, given that he has/had a job, he's a student and he tends to everyone else in the house + his friends.
I feel like it's not going anywhere anymore. At the beginning I hoped the author will make Masahiro grow up quickly and show them dating as adults to make it more palatable, but he's not even in his last year yet.
Kousuke is just a pedo, plain and simple. I'm getting older myself and I know that I have almost nothing in common with high school students, not even to be their friend (unless I'm an advisor, or they're the children of friends of mine and they look up to me).

I’m not gonna comment on the red flags that have always been in this story that require heavy doses of suspension of disbelief, I just wanted to say smth i always found funny. That being, it’s teased somewhat carelessly whether the detective guy actually cares about his friend’s grooming a little boy or not, but what really gets me is the fact that iirc, they straight up “test him” to make sure he won’t report the fact that he’s getting statutorily raped by kousuke . Like if you’re gonna make an unethical fictional age gap romance, at least stop reminding ppl of the fact that you know it’s wrong??? Self-awareness is NOT the kind of look you wanna be going for when you do it so half-assedly (by trying to play it off and writing any personal sentiments into the characters as a stand in) and for the sake of (I assume) deflecting criticism. At least have the integrity and balls to be properly honest about what the story is or don’t mention it at all. Having a character expressly question the actions of the ML but not actually have him face the consequences and take accountability for it just means it’s a pointless plot point that just serves to add drama. It serves no narrative function (in terms of character development) other than make-up rape (i don’t really consider it sex tbh that man is like 30 ☠) and padding out chapters. Again, I don’t want to go into yapping anyone’s eyes out but I still think its so funny to ‘test’ a minor and be like “but you won’t tell anyone, right?”
Last little side note: The beginning 2 volumes were so wild… (so was the whole series but) Kousuke behavior is so crazy bc why is this grown ass man gatekeep girlboss GASLIGHTING a teenager into believing he’s in love with him like brother has NOTHING better to do. As I’ve gotten older, it’s become kind of a turn-off that a man that age is THAT emotionally immature, and don’t get me wrong, I like my men ***pathetic***

Anyways: certified loverboy certified pedophile

I like where this is going. i hope my nasuharu ship will stay strong and not be swayed by cliche 'bad' guy winning trope. kaya is precious. his red flags were only the result of his traumatic childhood but DAMN PLEASE LET IT BE NASU (though i know it's probably will never happen since it's haru and kaya on every artworks and the title are about them too but i will keep manifesting).

it is wholesome enough that haru is trying to explain that kaya might mistook family love as romantic. it will be so so so much better if haru and kaya stay as siblings. haruno has always consider him as her little brother fgs!! some said it's illogical for Ran to genuinely consider Kaya as her lil bro as they've only live together for some months but Ran is trying her best to keep her mom happy. when her mom asked her to take care of her new lil bro, so she did.

also to be clear i also am annoyed with how indecisive haruno is :/ please be firm girl. STAND YOUR GROUND U AND NASU ARE IN A RS?!!

Came back to say ml is a pedo idc how “wholesome” and “cute” this story was. He is a creep who liked 16 year old also he had audacity to say she is immature FUCKING PERV OFC SHE IS SHE IS SIXTEEN YOU NASTY MF

there is absolutely no need to draw explicit rape scenes over and over and over and over and over again. this author is sick in the head, all their boot licking fans as well. the author is basically completing a checklist atp. plot can exist and keep itself well afloat without the unnecessary and disgusting scenes. and I bet there's more shots of geom's traumatizing past than actual scenes dedicated towards the development and progression of the story too.

this is depressing, im not really ugly, but somehow i understand how she feel. How she thinks the boy deserve better, she know she's messed up and she didn't want to hurt the boy.... i think the author end it like this on purpose but i still want more T_T cause this is really good

To all the people who are saying Seiji is a coward, his fear is totally valid and rational.

First the environment they were in, all the people around them said it's only natural with girls, some even said it was disgusting even to hold hands. Growing up in that kind of surrounding grows a fear in you and he loved his best friend the one person who he didn't want to hate him.

Second the moment he realised his feelings for Hinata, it was at time where Hinata was molested, and were still kids so naturally he thought it was disgusting of him to have same thoughts as the old man who molested his best friend.

Also coming out is not easy.
I feel Seiji's character was more of a realistic character.

What's the point of making such story, if not for unhealthy voyeurism and brain rot, honestly?

I'm asking this for those who camp here everyday to defend like hyenas this title and can't seem to find even one little wrong aspect to it.
There's hardly any real reason or value as to why a content like this should exist, aside the fact that it exists because it was created and mostly for porn consumers.
What at first appeared to be a revenge bl reveals to be another rape porn of the worst kind. It was written in a way that you can't sympathize with the characters or blame them totally for their wrongdoings once you realize that both are absolute trashes to each other, so what's left? The porn. This enables the readers to satisfy their voyeurism and mortiferous curiosity without feeling bad.
It seems bl authors are unable to write a decent revenge plot without turning it into a shit show of degrading obscenities with mindbreak. Thanks to the Korean readers who protested, if not there's chance you'd read beastiality too with this one. This poor Jiwook have no idea... And we all know that if not for the handsome characters, and mostly the art bringing it, you fans of such would be there wanting to wash your eyes clean and a refund for your wasted time - just like for Pocket n°7. Lol.

And before invoking Hannibal Lecter... Classic movies like Silence of the Lambs, Saw or series like Dexter have a moral dimension to them and a MESSAGE to convey while they can display the most gruesome scenes. There's injustice, crimes but also RETRIBUTIONS. Punishment. The criminals pay their crimes by losing their lives or being sentenced to prison. The spectators bear the movie till the end bc they know the outcome of such actions. This makes the movie, book... digestible and bearable.
In this case of Reverse Thinking, message is nonexistent. There's no retribution nor redemption, only harm. Any reader who was expecting something is left hopeless and drained. It feels like a mental assault.

Don't give the excuse that all this brutality and g/rape is fictional, therefore we should let it a pass for everything. Litterature and art, science, start with an idea and concept, but have the power to move societies and influence the world. We know that for some people, Star Wars has become a religion and philosophy. Some genius writers are deified... So words and imaginery can have huge impacts on people's mind and actions, for the best or the worse. However depending on the situation the aspect 'fiction' is either willingly omitted, or brought up as justification bc you porn consumers have no other reason as to why you can enjoy this type of thing.
I personally don't have issue reading controversial stories involving sa, rape or violence, simply bc yaoi is populated by these books. I, though, have issues regarding that kind of show and poorly written plots ; the absolute absence of retribution for the perpetrators.

About that last point, this story have a problem of consistency and rationality - should I say, just like other pornwas with Stockholm Syndrom (No Reason, the Bad Life...).
After ml rape and beat the shit out of mc, they always joke, kiss and laugh, do 'banters' as if that was normal human interactions. Though inconsistent, the authors need to include these little exchanges bc if not, it will fall into the category of horror, and not 'bl' :')

Last paragraph:
To be clear, I have dropped that title a while ago. This won't be the last of the sort and I'm afraid this is just the start of a florilège and mass production of these extrem, violent contents in Manhwas, for the bl genre. This is what is popular now, and this is what you want it seems. Titles like KS, Warehouse, An Easy Target... had contributed to the production of works like Reverse Thinking and other Corrosive and now these vulgar stories amplify that tendency. Many more authors will try their hands on this niche ; they want to work and get their bag and they know that it will garanty them exposure and money.

Stories like this just make me want to stay away from bl, tbh, specifically from manhwas. Aside some valuable titles lost amongst the growing mass, majority of bl manhwas are porn with same forgettable plots and ever growing p*nis. Tired.
Where's the romance, the forbidden love, the build-up, the mystery, where's the intrigue...?
