Tbh was NOT expecting this level of downbadness from Sangwoo but I love it sm CONFESS TO HIM, YOU BAFFOON
Somehow I love it even more the third time! Seriously, everything about this story is so appealing. The plot is DEEP and so well planned, I'm so invested even after knowing how everything will go down– I've actually come to appreciate the details even more now. The characters are rich and realistic and so interesting, and the chemistry and romance go hand and in hand with the story in such a natural way. I love this story so much.
I'm so happy the season ended on a hopeful note and that their feelings are finally outwardly mutual...this was so wholesome and the CONSENT?!!!? RAAAAA character development
But also I'm scared because who knows what's in store with such a dark story
This was the worst story I've read in a while. There was ZERO chemistry, the sex scenes were so boring? Like there was nothing actually intimate and while I've read and enjoyed many stories with asshole tops/dubcon/etc., this one felt particularly rapey and stiff. It had a lot of potential, honestly, but things just played out really poorly and that ending was so anticlimactic. I think the best part of it all was the grandpa/puppy scene because it was the first time the story actually invoked some emotion, but even that was like... there wasn't enough love and care between them for him to justifiably put his baby in danger. It all felt so meaningless.
Overall just very disappointed. Not the worst story ever but like a 4/10.
Omg I agree it wasn't worth the time there's no affection and the sex scenes were him having his way with the bottom and the reason for revenge is ridiculous
Him having his way and none of it even seemed enjoyable on either side ever and then the revenge plot just?? Made no sense??? He was a literal child
It is frustrating like u have a good idea for a story but u messed it up
Completely predictable from the start.
Am I still eating this shit up? Of course. It's gourmet.
it’s good to read classic plots like this after reading something stressful.
literallyyyy its cliche as hell but i am here for it simple but sweet like it works okay!!
No one was hurt, Mc loved it in the end, it's not real. Don't police people for their tastes, it has nothing to do with you, and you can just move on to something you actually like. Get off your high horses.
However to the people who don't know and virgins in the chat, this kind of shit WOULD NOT BE OKAY IRL. Consent can be revoked at any moment and you don't have to follow through anything you're uncomfortable with just because you were comfortable or agreed earlier, your body is yours and you should be safe and respected always. Make safewords, communicate clear boundaries.
Right? People get easily caught up trying to tie everything to real life consequences, but that's why fiction exists. To explore taboos, ethically questionable, outright harmful concepts and enjoy them, be neutral or dislike and avoid them. If you can't distinguish between the two, I suggest you work on that.
We can discuss and argue all we want, about the characters and situations, just don't make it the author's problem (unless they support suchs acts in real life). And if you use this story as a jumping off point to ask questions about sa/consent etc, then sure! But again, that doesn't negate the story being enjoyable despite or even because of its problematic themes.
Exactly this! People can scream their heads off about how wrong any of it is but it doesn't change the fact that they are lines on paper/a digital screen with no actual thoughts or feelings and in the end, it's entirely inconsequential aside from whatever emotional energy you CHOOSE to put into it– and man, people are very pick and choose-y with their "problematic" fiction and what they arbitrarily decide is okay.
Murder in fiction? Genocide, even? Yeah, sure.
Calling a 16 year old character that looks like they were designed to be 30 attractive? You deserve to be in jail and not have a career.
Idunno, it sounds like a very exhausting way to live life to feel offended by every single thing a person does with characters that aren't even real and Wil never care about you or themselves, lol
I only cried the tiniest bit when he died and was running back on the white line ;w; this was such a beautiful story
Y'all are so ruthless lol
I feel like people are so quick to apply real life ethics when it comes to sexual behaviors but for the romantic aspect, there's no regard whatsoever for the complexities and nuances of emotion. There are so many ways to express affection and he's not doing anything wrong for expressing his boundaries– and the other isn't being weak by accepting those boundaries and being patient because he knows that. I feel like a lot of y'all have never navigated real relationships.
