I love how both the MC and the ML have not only similar d*** size but also similar physique… gone are the days of twinkification and heteronormative nonsense in BL, i.e. the tops as well as bottoms interactions, behaviour, physique, and more.
are we looking at the same dicks yeons is like five times girthier and like twice as long
idk if you looked at the front page or any other page but twink soft small femme ukes are still very much a mainstay powerhouse as are heavily stereotypically coded top bottom roles
a gal can still dream tho
Yesss also usually it's the tops that do the chasing and the bottoms that pull away and resist them, but this story switched those dynamics. Initially it's Kihoon pursuing Yeon (not rlly romantically but yknow), but Yeon is resistant to go along with Kihoon's wishes.
I'll try to put it in a better analogy, black wolf tops are common but black cat tops are not. Cutesy puppy bottoms are also pretty common but golden retriever bottoms are rare. If that even makes any sense I sound like a degenerate rn
Your explanation is clear and thoughtful. I find it frustrating how gender stereotypes in BL persist, such as the belief that pretty or beautiful men should exclusively be bottoms. This belief is harmful because it perpetuates the notion that men who display feminine traits or look more feminine will always be the receiving partner and that only masculine men can be the dominant partner. These stereotypes reinforce harmful gender norms and limit individual expression. I wish there was more natural men as bottom to be honest, I'm sick and tired of the typical tropes in BL.
Ummmm I think there’s some misconceptions/miscommunication…
First, I said similar, not identical… I understand there’s a difference between the sizes. Additionally, I was comparing to other BLs where the bottom size is equivalent to a c****/k** dick, or a micropenis, which a majority of BLs.
Second, I understand that fem bottoms and top bottom roles exist in BLs. However, I personally disagree that both are equally mainstream, I believe the former is much more prevalent in BLs compared to the latter, again, I am not saying they do not exist, but the the rate is which they exist is unbalanced when comparing each other… you may disagree but that is my personal opinion…
Ultimately, hopefully that clears up any misunderstanding, and I hope you have a nice day :)!
i guess i’m not really following with both of your points. their dick sizes are NOT similar, yeon’s is considerably bigger and still totally plays into the top owns bottom with massive schlong trope. the stereotypical bottom with a nonfunctional micro penis is another issue on its own.
rigid, fixed top bottom stereotypes are absolutely prevalent. i can barely count on one hand relationship dynamics that actually push against reader’s expectations of what a character who tops or bottoms would be like. the closest i’ve ever seen is “i’ll be here for you” and it’s bc the author was very explicit in how she created those characters specifically bc they didn’t and still don’t really exist. i’m tired that the top is always more “alpha” than the bottom. a bigger stronger man with a smaller man is not different from a big strong man with a soft femme man bc the idea of the top being a dominant figure in every way is so prevalent.
i really like the younger avoidant black cat beauty top and the older forward sunshine puppy bottom in this story, but i can’t help feeling that it’s only more palatable bc kihoon is smaller. the switch in roles based on personality already apparently shook a bunch of ppl to their core and i suspect if kihoon looked like a stereotypical puppy top that’s actually a bottom ppl will outright riot.
lol I’m not reading all of that, omg so hostile, let’s agree to disagree, legit said it was MY OPINION, GO ARGUE WITH SOMEONE ELSE!
idk… everyone is saying ohhhhh this is where the grovelling will begin/can’t wait for it… but mannnn… idk these days I feel like we’ve lost the art of grovelling (only FEW BLs still got it, especially when its aware of toxicity…) maybe I’m wrong but idk I don’t have faith, especially with this story…
Han-gyul kinda has that vibe of hopeless romantic and would do anything for their love one so it's a possibility that he will forgive easily but this seme kinda did a extreme 180 to his life
Tho I'm still curious so will still stick around
Exactly, I'm okay with a BE for this one.
is Psyka a female, or male… I’m going hold your hand when I say this, but he is a CAT!
(the only way you can tell cat’s sex is their genitalia, which is KNOWN NOW, also they have referred to Psyka previously with he/him/sir, I beg y’all to actually read and not skim the chapters, cuz there shouldn’t be 10+ people repeating the same comment about this issue)
I hate the main couple, like my god there’s no redemption for the male lead which is a hard feat because (rmbr it’s BL… trust there’s worse), but I swear this is worse and I know they’ll end up together… I’m patiently waiting to read the side couple… idk why writers do this… sigh
The tides have turned and everyone is loving the flashback now, imma have to head back and read it all… So, im trusting y’all to be right cuz when i say its length scared me, i mean it, and I’ve read longer novels (Dune, etc.)
Rape, rape, rape, rape , rape, rape, rape AHSHSJSJDISOOSSNSVDIWOWHDHRIEJDDHDJJWIWJ NDH I AM TIRED MY GOD WHERE IS THE PLOT THE INTRODUCTION THE BACKSTORY JUST BOOM RAPE AND MORE RAPE AND GUESS WHAT EVEN MORE RAPE like no way you’re a writer who’s probably being overworked, and this is your writing… you’re probably at risk of overexhaustion from poor labour laws and worker’s right, and this is what you choose for your passion to write, MY GOD, JUST QUIT!
bro why don't you just read another bl, there's plenty of those that suits YOUR TASTE!
And wtf-? you have no right to denigrate the work of the author and don't bother reading it..
WOMP WOMP WOMP I DONT CARE
(I have a right to my opinion and I’m free to share, if you don’t like it then dislike n move on lolol like it’s not like I’m harassing the author, we’re literally on a illegal site reading shit for free, so since you love the author so much go actually support them and leave me alone)
Touchy , (wo) mans was just wondering and asking questions it’s not that serious
It was never that serious
I agree... If its about reading "lustful stories", they could make this all much more tantalising with story and tention then the reward of hot scenes would be so much better. I'm not even saying that r**e can never happen with these stories but its such a weak storyline it can barely be even called that. Why would I root for romance with a rapist?
lolol
I didn't say I loved their work. I was pointing out your behavior bcs first of all you don't have the right to tell the author to quit, second as you said we're just reading it for free then bro why not go and read shitt that you actually liked no? instead of commenting/sending hate to the author.
(wtf-that's pretty simple if you got offend then go lol like i also care, all the mangas here have rap*st/rape since its illegal site lol a****)
nah nvm
lol yea LITERALLY it wasn't serious-
Ok, what are you gonna do about it, you keep on saying: “you have no right…” like it’s illegal to call out romanticization of rape and any problematic trope especially when it’s unrelated to the plot line of the story and explicitly for shock factor… it’s weak storytelling, I’m allowed to share my opinion, not everyone has to support it but it is at the day, everyone is allowed free speech. So again, I’m asking what the again are you going do, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, again this is an illegal site, authors are not on here AT ALL, so they’ll never see this comment, so I’m not harassing them or sending them “hate.” Additionally, this is fairly new story, so I simply stumbled upon it as I was searching for new reads, again having rape/SA in the story is not a problem but how it is used/handled is the issue, and if you can’t understand that then this conversation is a lost cause, so please leave me alone, dislike my comment and move on. This will be the last comment I’ll be responding to people as it seems like everyone has a low reading comprehension, I am not interested in going back and forth with anyone.
Hey so maybe I missed this but is the guide a virgin… because it seemed like he was confused by his body reaction when things got steamy… with one quote (might not be perfect but the same-ish): “why is my body doing this?”
Yes he is
again sorry if this has been mentioned but did he not receive any sex education especially since he’s a guide… idk I’m not trying to shame him but idk it’s just quite odd/unrealistic for his age and his position that he would not know common sexual reactions/processes of one’s body… anyways thank you for answering, especially doing so respectfully, much appreciated.
When kwonwoo said he watched the guiding videos very carefully the guide reacted by being embarrassed and saying he watched that video full of skin so I’m guessing he does know he’s jsut bashful and I’m also assuming this is his first assignment so he hasn’t guided before. Additionally before the memory loss kwonwoo was very demanding so the guide probably didn’t have any time to find a lover or anything
I can’t believe the amount of people hating on the ML, and screaming “they need to communicate…” like no offence to anyone, but the MC needs to communicate… a lot of the issues they had could be resolved if he talked, because at this moment only the ML is communicating (and listening too tbh), it’s not a both side issue, so “they” is the wrong word in that statement and should be he, but rather one-sided… idk people say they feel sad I’m just annoyed like the ML does not deserve this
Thank you, finally someone said it. It's like some of them read it and choose to ignore some parts just cause they feel bad for Geon and see him crying
I’m so sorry for the MC, like not only your family, but also your love interest are ASS (for a good chunk of the recent chapters, I’ve been like… OF COURSE STUPID WHAT DID YOU THINK LIKE WHAAA THE THING IN YOUR HEAD USE IT THINK I AM SO SORRY FOR THE MC)
