read the raws and genuinely didn’t expect them to be so explicit
don’t worry

it’s a happy ending (in the sense that they’re both alive and end up together)

Okay so this story was starting to get confusing and I felt the romance was just not hitting, like the chemistry felt so forced— particularly for her character— so I re-read ofc.
However, now I’m genuinely wondering if I’m tripping, reaching, or misunderstanding but it feels like Charlize straight up just groomed Dylan? When I just consider her motivations, and the power structures between their early relationship it all just culminates into THAT for me.
Genuinely wondering if I just read this with my brain off because as I actively write this I feel like my thoughts are right and I dk if I’ll continue anymore, not that my presence was important but I’d like if someone could chime in.
mind you seryeong is the one in the wrong, so how tf did this get flipped??? the constant overstepping of boundaries and consent at times, i’m not sure why he’s mad at that reaction when essentially this whole relationship is just built on blackmail.
if yall can, read the novel, imo it’s on the easier side to read because reading it alongside the manhwa helps me visualize events happening wayyy better.
fyi, translations can be found in wattpad (that’s where i’m reading it)

i just let out the biggest fucking sigh. not this weird ass trope bruh
see ik the whole spiel is suppose to be him following his dreams but i really hope it’s a mix between music AND business.
there are so many musicians that also are huge business leaders and ceos (rhianna and fenty, beyoncé and her new hair line products, ariana and rem beauty, the list goes on!)
well that was just ghetto.
why make your debut smut scene this bs, there are literally so many ways to reinforce the characterization of a crazy character without having rape. Not only was the whole smut scene just obviously rushed but it just straight up ruined the whole thing (for me). I just don’t get how we can have stories like Red Mansion do this perfectly well and have unhinged semes without rape and still get THIS…
I really do expect too much
genuinely can not believe i’m still reading ts but yk… here we are.
you know how fucked up ur life has to be to fall in love so quickly with a seme like this one— im crying rn he is treating you like a booty call !!
