This is one of the few yaois I've read where I prefer the characters when they're wearing clothes. The sex scenes are laughably over the top. And the nipples, omg why!?!?!?!
Jung-heon behaves more like a dad than a partner. I hope Dan doesn't back down this time.
I'm going to miss Gren. I think he deserved better and it's hard for me to stay invested in the story at this point
Same honestly :(
:(
Damn that was painful. Seo Juheon's rage filled eyes broke my heart. I hope this gets resolved quickly.
At this point, it's obvious that Ilic wants to be there. Otherwise, he would have killed himself a long time ago.
Bro is the trenches of denial and he will be till they're like 80 or something
They're gonna be bickering at the retirement home and ilic's just gonna be like "sigh.... He's so weak now.... I can't just leave him.... Even if I keep fighting with him and it Sucks...." (They bicker over the smallest things also the duke is a-okay without him physically )
Exactly
I absolutely loved this story up until chapter 44. Both characters felt realistic and then the writer had to hit us with the laziest most over used yaoi/BL cliché, STUDY ABOARD! Then I immediately lost interest in their relationship and my frustration with Doha increased with every new chapter.
Instead of having them go on a break, grow a bit, then finally admit their feelings to each other honestly. The writer decided to cop out and steal 5 years of their relationship. Even though neither seemed to grow or change in any meaningful way during the 5 year separation. I get why writers use this trope, but I hate it. I also hate that their entire relationship was based in Doha's whims and mood swings. Woohyun pretty much was coerced into the relationship in the beginning, then as his feelings started to grow towards Doha, Doha just left and wouldn't even talk to him on the phone. Then he comes back and treats Woohyun like a joke. Woohyun obviously and justifiably has abandonment issues and Doha doesn't even consider that.
I really regret reading it and those extra chapters didn't make me like it anymore.
These days there is nothing more predictable in Korean yaois than an author taking a story that starts off sweet and turning it into a rape or non-consent fest. Either almost every seme in the country is too stupid or evil understand that "no", "please stop" and "it hurts" are not the words of someone who is enjoying the sex. Or the writers and publishers think that that behavior is acceptable/normal and wait readers want.
Either way, it's a shame that this keeps happening. Miserable painful sex, is not something that should be normalized in fiction or irl. But I can understand it in stories about pschyo characters or torture porn. But when you have chibis and romance one second and violent pounding while the other guy thinks he's going to die in the next, it's clearly wrong. Anyone defending it shows that their views of "normal sexual relationships" are also questionable. Hardcore and raunchy sex can be a nice experience for both people, that's not what many authors of kyaois are writing these days and that's so sad.
THIS. THIS IS TRUE.
well... i feel bad saying i'm desensitized to anything regarding consent in bl but there actually is a huge chunk of people who do like dubious consent and hardcore smut so you wouldn't be so far off in your comment about catering to the readers' tastes (the amount of times people ask for rape in the comments of newtoki is wild). ofc people are free to like and dislike what they want, but you have to remember that these manhwa are meant for adults and adult spaces. authors release these scenes with the assumption that only adults are consuming their content who have the ability to draw a very thick line between fiction and reality, so i think it's a bit unfair to say that people have questionable morals if they do like the depiction of dubcon. but i do agree that the normalization and romanticization of it is an issue. like at least have a trigger warning for those who don't like it??
i dont think this is one of those? you can clearly tell this guy waited before he did it?? asking if hes not ok and stuff?
nah this chapter is dub-con if someone says to stop or that it hurts. You stop. If someone asks you to be gentle then you’d be gentle. I don’t think this is as bad as some other bl’s when it comes to consensual sex but it’s definitely still dub-con and obviously not okay in real life
This is really adorable, I hope it stays lighthearted
I just wish that he's been secretly alive, somewhere in hiding. Waiting for the real attempted killer to reveal himself. Then those two adorable kids can live happily ever after! I know it won't happen, but a girl can dream
