I'm tryna read this with an open mind regarding parent-child relationships because I grew up in a very cold family where we don't say ily or hug or anything so maybe I'm out of the loop not understanding this is JUST innocent relationship but the author is making it very hard to not sense something off in the air. Like that one time when puppy came home late and wolf sniffed him to confirm if he was drinking or not. Puppy's reaction afterward? The tone of that scene? Sus. There's also other instances as well. And it adds up. (And people actually ship it *shivers*)
I'd like to believe this is JUST an innocent family dynamic but I'll be lying if I said I never side eyed the authors choices in some of these scenes.
It's the fact that unless Heesung says something, which I dont think he will yet, Dan will never figure out he'd been exposed without his knowledge because I HIGHLY doubt jk will tell Dan what he just did. I really want this to come back to bite jk in his stank ass later.
Like, just when he'd just (somehow someway) redeemed his stank ass and thought everything will work out with Dan, Heesung pops in and goes "heyyyyyy remember that time when you showed me you and Dan having sex" and boom, jk's stank ass world comes crumbling down. I would LOVE to see him explain that one away and I hope Dan doesn't forgive him.

Honestly what they just did is just gonna cause more misunderstandings and problems in the future. Instead of uplifting each other, they've both just chained each other down. These types of "I dont want you to etc etc at other people, only do that to me" is always portrayed as cute but in reality it's really just an isolation tactic.
Because imagine if Ash just so happens to unconsciously give that bright smile to someone he's doing business with and Lyle takes that as Ash breaking his promise and in doing so, doesn't love him anymore. Like? Problem where there shouldn't be one. Or if Ash feels like he has to constantly watch himself just so he won't break promise and cause Lyle to misunderstand him. It's just gonna be a cycle of them checking on each other and themselves for validation.
Yes to this
Gosh that is so stupid
Of course it’s natural for a person to smile around friends, family or just politely at others
They go so overboard on their interactions
While I understand where you’re coming from, I feel like you are failing to acknowledge that they most likely won’t act on the promise obsessively and if they do it’ll most likely be channeled into the smut aspect of the story. Considering the natures of ash and Lyle, I’m betting that it was more of an innocent way of them saying “I live u so much I want you all to myself”. This subtext would also most likely be hyperbolic— an exaggeration rooted in affection.
it def applies to irl situations, but in here its just a little thing to spice things up and make readers feel their love. i don’t think the author included it to be problematic tbh ( or that it’ll be in the future ).
The fact that their relationship has been nothing but misunderstandings leading them here, I'm left with little option but to assume that this promise of theirs is just another gateway to more misunderstandings. Will it lead to any issues? Who knows and I hope not, but the possibilities, due to them limiting and isolating each other like this, is there. And while I never said they will act on it obsessively, I am making a statement because they are taking it serious enough that it will have an impact on their behavior toward others, in turn, towards themselves. Unless, both of them are actually lying in this chapter and neither of them actually "hate" it. But of course, that wasn't the case.
I mean the author doesn't have to intentionally make it problematic. The act itself is already problematic as is. Depends on how the author expands on this in future chapters.
lol just imagine Ash, a once bright happy guy, after making this promise, now greets his friends/family and/or strangers with no smile or with little enthusiasm because he wanna save all that just for Lyle. Ash and Lyle are both limiting each other so they will be fine. But to outsider's perspective, it's not a good look.
Honestly I do get wym but the way they presented it in the chapter it feels like they’re talking abt a mutual sexual fantasy or soemthing but I would hate for this promise to strain their relationship
Hi it's me again. Just a PSA that sometimes murder IS the answer
Yall know how recently dan was shown to be developing some sort fo affection toward jk? Yeah, I hope he quickly figures out what just happened and it opened his eyes that jk doesnt deserve his affection. Whatever tf you was developing for that trash, stop it.
BRO NEEDS TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF ABUSE PLS
Jk could die rn and the story would actually improve. Let that sink in.
100%
They're treating the dragon like shit and upset him, so their land goes to shit. Then they're told they have to make an offering to the dragon, so they prep the said dragon for the offering to himself. You already know this not gonna end well
Knew this was a crack story so I didn't take it that serious but I guess I did take it pretty serious after all since this crack ass ending was unexpected for me. I actually took it serious enough to think the ending would be more decent
Same
Damn... U just sum up what's happening in my mind rn, and thank you for that
Fucking idiots lol. Even in this chapter it's explained seasons passed. He wanders far and near. Etc. So who knows how many years went by and hyoun's STILL in that child form. If he was a "child" he should've grown tf older. Actually, if he was a "child" he should've died by the second/third week staying alone in that empty village. Clearly NOT a literal child.
This site is full of underages where good unique BL manga gets 7-8/10, and some generic rapey webtoon always get at least 9/10 just because it's colored. What did you expect?
Who hurt you just cuz your fav BLs get 7-8/10 don't mean you gotta take it out on colored BLs.
i don't know how to explain to you that people are here for fantasy porn that they're too scared to attempt in real life. ofc they'd rate the toxic rapey shit more high lmao
Oh you're the underage lmfao, who the fuck take it out on colored BLs? Read properly
What exactly is your take in replying to me. Idc if your favs are rated 7-8/10 like why are you mad people like colors over plane b/w. and you literally said "just because it's colored" what are you on??
Cont. Also why are you blaming exclusively the underaged?? I'm calling out dumbassary IN GENERAL all ages and you immediately point to the underaged? As if the adults on this site cant be dumb or something. You think only underaged read rapey stories and give it 9/10? Bless your heart.
