Alright, this one is not the worst I’ve seen (so far) but I’m perplexed.
People are saying things like “they match eachothers freak”, but isn’t black hair dude way less of a freak?
Yes, he has some weird shit going on. First off, being a bully is always bad, so he’s not innocent. Second off, he seems to be getting aroused by this to an odd degree.
However, blondie is a fucking nonce. He’s sexually harassing and using blackmail to get at this dude. He’s essentially forcing him into highly traumatic experiences. Physical + Mental abuse and manipulation.
I wouldn’t even call him a freak. He’s straight up a molester
And I like most “toxic yaoi”, this isn’t a just a toxic relationship, this is literal coercion and criminal shit.
Idk, when I think “toxic relationships”, I think about two people who are bad for eachother emotionally, but are painfully driven to one another. Not rape / molestation/ generally nonconsensual shit. Maybe slight dub-con, but that’s the very limit.
Again, it’s not the worst I’ve seen by far, but it still has a lot of issues. I mean, shit, if they depicted this just as a fucked up story, no romanticisation n shit, I’d be fine with it, but yet again, it’s treated as cute at times as if its trying to pardon itself. Naur man
Took a big break from being on manga go, so I'm only getting back to this now. anyways.
Nonce is usually used for referring to pedos, but also can mean general sexual assailants. Overall, its a word that insults those who do sexual crimes. Ofc that depends on who you ask as well, since it is slang, therefore subjective. In this case, I mean a sexual assailant, not a pedo.
Am I stupid? I didn’t see anything about Jin remembering Brandon other than him looking at the syringe and remembering Brandon drugging him. Unless there was a bot uploaded chapter that got removed or sum?
Either way, I seriously doubt Jin would miss Brandon in any fucking way, but I can’t say much given I must be missing something.
However I did look at raws- and like someone else said, I should have minded my fucking business not because of Brandon though. Good luck everyone.
I enjoy the story itself a lot. I don’t think in any world that this relationship should continue however, and I think this is a tragedy story that will end in a sick twisted way. Or at least, that’s the best course for it.
But then there are the people who chant “I love Toxic Yaoi” and are supporting Heeseo’s abuse of Taekhyung, and then BLAMING Taekhyung, the fucking victim, for what is happening to him.
Here’s the thing. Given my own trauma, my own experience with mental illness and such, I relate hugely to the thoughts Heeseo has. But by god I would never let myself do the things he has done, let alone to the person I love.
When you are someone who has suffered, you deserve equity, understanding, support, and so on. However, when you cause someone else to suffer, you are no better than what harmed you. You do not deserve forgiveness, even if you are lashing out from your pain. When you become a source of torment and trauma for another person, the number one concern will always be the victim.
Of course, the people who fetishise this toxicity tend to make me feel disillusioned with a work that I find profound, for lack of a better word. It makes me think, “wow, I am surrounded by slimely freaks that are just getting off on the idea of two mentally ill gay men hurting eachother for their own gratification. I hate it here”.
To be fair, I can understand liking toxic depictions of relationships for the deep emotionally ride it can give, and how it can affect you. But when you say you “enjoy toxic yaoi”, it gives me the impression that you enjoy the prospect of assault, abuse, and suffering. You enjoy what trauma “adds” to a relationship.
Fuck you.
Of course, to others who either hate this work or feel similar to me, where they enjoy the story, but do not support the relationship it depicts, I wish you luck in this place… fucking hell.
This is very upsetting. The premise itself is actually pretty intriguing. I’m bored as fuck with all the slice of life shit, and its hard to come by good fantasy / supernatural works.
But what the actual fuck is going on here? Sex infront of a 12 year old and acting like its fine? Marlon offering to “hook him up”? I don’t understand how some people here are so brain rotted that they find this okay. There has to be something wrong with you if you find this “normal” or “acceptable”.
Also saying that “child trafficking is the bigger issue” is fucking incompetent. Yes, it is, fucking obviously. That is NOT THE ISSUE. The trafficking is somewhat being treated as bad. The sexual misconduct around a child is NOT being treated the same way. THAT is the problem.
It’s perfectly fine to express dark themes in a story. Sexual trauma as a child, human trafficking, drug addiction, rape, etc.
The issue is when you treat it like a normal / non-problematic topic. The author makes it seem like Marlon offering Six sex from a third party, appearing naked infront of him after having sex, and showing Six have a child crush on him after having seen Marlon having sex- is all normal and good. What the literal fuck is wrong with you?
I can tell you why this is bad as well. There are DEFINITELY people who find it appealing to know a person has crushed on you when they were a child, all the way up to adulthood. That is pedophilic. The gratification comes from knowing a fucking child was in love with you. Doesn’t matter if you “wait”. Its fucked up. Marlon may not be showing that interest, but this 100 percent appeals to the shota enjoyers. It makes me want to vomit.
Again, pissed off since this had the potential to be great. But the whole first section of chapters was so disgusting to read. I enjoy stories with dark themes, so that is no way the issue. If Six had gone through his trauma, met Marlon a few times but never experienced the sexual encounters, the crushing, and met him later and THEN fell in love, I would not have any issue with this.
Fucking hell.
As usual, binged this shit in one sitting. Saw from another comment there's only 12 chapters left??? Can't confirm that myself, but FUCK I hope there is epilogue content... I really love how this is going, but it is also good for an author to know when to stop.
I wish more BL's had a video game theme going on, Idk, I really love the silly shit featured in works that have it.
Anyways, if there really is 12 chapters left, I'm going to guess that nothing bad will happen. I'm too used to terrible shit going down after good stuff with these other toxic BL's lmao. IDK, you can never be too safe though- So part of me is also preparing. We'll see. They're so stupidly cute.
I just read all like 82 chapters (not including side stories) which have been uploaded at the time of writing, and god fucking damn the story is way more complex than I thought it’d initially be, and I love it.
One thing I must say however. I can tell the artist has improved a LOT throughout this. But one thing that I can’t help but be bothered by is the immense feminisation of the main characters face. I prefer the more proportionate eyes of the earlier chapters, and I am not a huge fan of colored lips on an anime style. I think it works better for more semi realistic ones. Alas, can’t win them all. Otherwise, the art is actually extremely beautiful.
Spoilers ahead:
Vercion ? If that’s how you spell his name? Christ, he’s straight up an abuser. I would definitely classify him as a rapist, due to Sunwon having told him stop certain times, being obviously unwilling, and getting to the point where he has to force himself to “consent” to “avoid” being raped. Sadly, that is still rape, it’s just an attempt to cope with it. Vercion is generally an obsessed, narcissistic, and slimy guy. Nothing but hatred for him from me.
Then the other “God” turns out to be his abusive (probably also a rapist) ex bf??? Give Sunwon a break man…
I haven’t started reading, but let me get this straight;
This is about a 25yo and a 17yo becoming intimate? (not sex persay) and waiting until he’s 18 to go further???
What the literal fuck man. I would understand if the older guy was maybe 19, but 25? Are you shitting me?
Yes, there is a gap between the maturity of a 17 year old and 25 year old. I know I haven’t read it, but that is fucking disgusting. An 8 year fucking gap. Dawg what???
No problem man. Yeah I wouldn’t touch this with an 8 foot pole. I already get at my limit with stories that have non consent issues, but beyond that have a good story. Pedo shit though? I’m not even gonna look into this out of curiosity. Screw that
And of course there is downvotes. Its fucking mangago lmao. Not surprised. Also lets me know the people reading this are just as morally backwards.
Weird. I’m not sure if you mean the younger or older guy, but it would have been perfectly fine if they just made the 17-18 year old guy 20 to begin with. I can’t reason why they would make him so much younger unless it was for weird reasons… tf? And if you do mean the younger guy (being made 17-18 for en ver) what was the reason behind that?? Christ.
Oh right, I forgot they count it differently. I suppose the overall goal was to have the older guy “wait” for the younger to be legal, hence age difference for the different versions (for us someone becoming 20 and then legal would not make sense, though, translators could always leave a note I guess? Idk)
Still, makes it weird as hell in either circumstance.
I binged this to chapter 101 in one sitting. Jesus fucking christ this story is a rollercoaster.
There’s a lot I could say, as a addict rambler, but I don’t know if I even want to start with this one…
I just hope things wont crash and burn. I am invested, but my heart has been tugged to many directions I think its gonna be torn apart by this shit. Gods fucking balls dude.
Ngl, wish they did do a bit of fucking around w others too, as a poly mf in an open relationship its something I love to see (depicted well though. Its easy to fuck it up), but to each their own.
As a poly in an open relationship…..just be single and fuck whoever u want wtf why it gotta be complicated with two labels
Mind your own damn business bitch
Lmao? Because the person I am with is who I plan to live with and marry?
This person helped me in the darkest times of my life and stuck through it with me despite all the mental hardships I was having and that they had to help me through. We also work on big projects together as they are a digital art student and I am a software engineer major / student game developer. So our lives are very intertwined. I also just love them, a fuck ton.
My relationship is not some flimsy one, and you do not know anything about me, my partner or possible future ones.
I don’t give a shit about having the labels, that’s just how I live my life. We both don’t care for constraints on eachothers sex lives because we have things we both share in preferences but in other ways not so much. So we are comfortable with letting the other person explore their sexual interests with others too. Sex and love are two different things. Though on that note, we are capable of loving more than one person, making us poly. We are not seeking out another partner, but if one comes to be, then that is so.
Overall, yeah. Unnecessary and ignorant comment. All I was commenting on was the case of the fictional relationship in this story, and because I think a certain way, I find it funny how hard-set monogamy can be at times, but it was a lighthearted comment about a fictional couple…
Maybe you're not living that person's life. Ever thought about that?
