When I read this when I was younger (around 16), I thought this was the cutest story ever, now I just feel so bad for Yoshida. He is constantly being bullied not only by his classmates, but by his lover.
There was very minimal character development, which made later chapters kind of a pain to get through. You would think Sato would ease up on his sadochism at some point, or at least tell the girls off but he never does. If anything he uses them as a way to torment Yoshida. I think Yoshida developed to a small degree with his outburst at Sato towards the end, but it was quickly put brushed over.
Along with the characters, the relationship never really progresses beyond the first couple volumes. The story started out strong with bold and defined characters interacting with each other in entertaining ways, but that loses its luster over the next volumes.
I was excited to see that this had updated after so many years, but it's honestly the same trope repeated every volume.
The relationship is damn near Stockholm Syndrome. The only thing missing is Yoshida being physically held captive.
Why are people more mad at the Kyujin for cheating than Doyeol for being an obsessed rapist? Doyeol is definitely no angel here. I don't mind any of the characters, but the copious amounts of slut shaming are a bit ridiculous. With the way Doyeol is written, it's pretty obvious why Kyujin would be led to cheat. The relationships portrayed in this story are NOT NORMAL, and that's kind of the point.
Edit: Okay not rape, but admitting you want to hurt the one you love and then proceeding to fuck them until they bleed.
As Kyujin didn't say anything about him being against sex, I can't call it rape. Secondly, there are people who are sadistic, so there are people who want to hurt their lovers while loving them.
Only one thing about something you wrote --> "With the way Doyeol is written, it's pretty obvious why Kyujin would be led to cheat"
So one can be justified for cheating because the other person seduced the other or because he loves you? Let's be serious here. Even if Doyeon seduced Kyujin, the second should've know better and not have sex with him.
For sex to happen you need to have two people doing it, so don't just put the blame on Doyeon just because you don't like the character.
well Kyujin is not in love with the silver hair guy he doesn't know himself he only likes him oddly as a family and he loves sex with him too (this is really twisted), the silver hait guy and jimin r both normal people but kyujin is totally abnormal, i mean he said that he is in love with jimin yet he cheated on jimin for an entire year and didn't reply his messages and suddenly stooped texting him bcz he is so enjoying sex with silver hair guy, i hate him sooo much he destroyed two googd boys completely their only mistake is that they loved someone who can't understand himself a very weak person , but in the end u'll realize that Jimin is the only unlucky one here
I saw a comment saying Chef's imprint could be on his tongue and that's such a good guess. Like maybe it makes his tongue more sensitive (to taste) which is why he's a good chef.
But sensitive to only tast?
