I hate this kind of drawing but I heard it’s a really good manga so is it worthy?
I reckon it’s a “you either love it or hate it” kind of story. I still highly recommend it even tho like you, i’m not really a fan of the art style.
Much of the plot in the manhwa is character-driven so you have to at least understand the characters (and where they’re coming from) to see why they’re doing what they’re doing. Most of the hate the manhwa gets is that it’s toxic, and while I don’t refute that (it’s true, it is toxic), I feel like what these readers failed to perceive is that these characters are messed up people, carrying personal baggages and childhood traumas, so ofc their relationship would also be messed up. What do u expect?
I also feel like you have to be in the right mood for this type of story. While it started off somewhat light and funny, it certainly became heavy towards the middle and end. If you like drama and angst, you would love this. If you’re looking for something light and smutty, then this is not it for you.
Omg I love you. You just gave me the feedback that I need I really appreciate it, and I’m the kind that hate the drama and angst cause I think of yaoi like an escape from the real world so I don’t want something that will make me feel down but I think I’ll read it when I feel like I need something heavy.
*sorry if my English is bad*
I pity people like you two who can't appreciate or enjoy the incredible masterpiece that Totally Captivated is because your eyes are full to the brim with bitterness, anger, and hatred over "pedophilia - which is in the past and lightly handled, cheating, part of the story and beautifully handled, and stupidity, yes, stupidity is definitely present but it's not in this manhwa.
Excuse me, what did we ever do to you to call me names, and also interfere in our conversation?? Did we ever hurt your feelings?? No did we call you names?? NO then why are you like that?? He's just asking i'm answering what I know, how about you answer him too, and make him/her change his mind to read the story? No instead you're soo sensitive about such simple things and just running your fingers typping whatever you want... Chill bro~
P. S - I READ THE WHOLE THING SPECIALLY THE COLORED ONES, I DIDN'T SAY IT WAS BAD I JUST SAID WHAT'S INSIDE IT AND WHAT I SAW
haha it's not your conversation. don't try to bs me. lol I call you names because I want to. That stuff about your feelings.... you can go talk to your friends about that kind of stuff.
The "I'm important so is this manhwa worthy of me reading it" attitude is so offensive. jesus. people not worthy of crawling behind this artist and kissing the hem of his coat have the nerve to say such things.....
People have the gall to pick things apart and judge it based on their rape-politics. wtf is this stupid world coming to?
Don’t worry about @Quicksilver. He/she is probably an internet troll and someone who thinks his/her opinion is the “right opinion”.
I personally like the manhwa mostly because I like Ewon’s characterization. I find his inconsistencies interesting - how he is subservient not because he lacks a backbone, but because of his nonchalance (he lets Mookyul control him not because he’s weak like any other uke uwu out there but because he just doesn’t care enough. “You want to have sex? Fine, let’s get this over with!”). But when he’s pushed to a difficult situation (break up ch), he’ll stand his ground and is even very cutthroat about it.
However, as you have pointed out, there a lot of problematic things tackled and downplayed in this manhwa. Incest, noncon, cheating - I HATE all of those. Tho I don’t count stupidity as something to be turned off about (at least here) since most of the mangas have stupidity anyway. No stupidity, no drama, no story lol.
Of course I think my opinion is right. duh.
second, this idiot thanking you for understanding and all the other simpering stuff he says isn't cutting any ice with me when he states his blunt and disrespectful opinions.
oh lord. stupid, you have it ass-backwards. Without incenst, noncon, cheating there's no drama or story.
damn, that is so stupid. Authors are smart. No way is it true that without stupidity there's no story or drama. I can't even get over what a dumb thing that is to say.
Fine I’ll give you troll a few minutes of my time lol
Point 1:You do understand that you’re the one being disrespectful in this thread, right? Or do you lack self-awareness? No opinion is the right opinion because opinions are subjective and personal. I actually enjoyed the story like you but that doesn’t mean that those who found this story problematic is any less valid.
Point 2: i agree. Without incest, noncon, cheating, it wouldn’t be TC. However, you can still have drama and story without incest, noncon, and cheating. Ofc it wouldn’t be like the TC that we know today, but one can definitely create a story without all of those. Other writers have been doing it all this time.
Point 3: can you provide me any drama in which a character didn’t act stupidly EVER? Stupidity, ofc in varying levels, have been part of the stories since the dawn of time lol. This isn’t to mock the intelligence of the writers. They make the characters do something stupid because people in rl can also be stupid. If they were a perfect cardboard cut-out characters, then it would somehow be boring, don’t you think?
yes, I agree with everything you said, except I don't like being called a troll.
I think that characters are contrary, but stupid goes a little bit far. haha. I don't think the stupidity of characters in stories resembles real life stupidity too much. Characters have a good excuse for their stupidity. They service the plot.
I loved what you said about Ewon's character and even mulled it over again later in the day while I was working.
I have lots of problems with people who get things like rape and incenst in stories all out of proportion, and even seem violent and hysterical in their over-reactions.
I usually skip the meme part and I hate it but omg I just LOVE your meme
