Dropped! I read ahead to chapter 23 and I can't take another seme that thinks having sex with someone who is passed out drunk is acceptable. Why is it so hard to find a kyaoi these days that doesn't include rape or non-con!???!?? I'm so tired of this behavior being normalized in relationships.

Omg!!!! If this is real I'm the happiest fujoshi ever!

rhjames created a topic of Sweet Not Sugar

These days there's nothing more predictable in kyaoi than endless sex where the uke looks like he's literally being tortured within an inch of his life. It's almost like sex isn't supposed to be enjoyable for both participants!

Time for me to drop. Smut is great. Constant non-con isn't. Maybe I'd stick with it if if the majority of popular k yaois weren't mostly rape or non con these days. But I'm tired of reading stories of mistreated ukes and semes who think "no" "stop" "I don't want to" and "it hurts" are an invitation to fuck harder.

I pity people who think these types power dynamics are healthy or should be normalized.

I know we're completely in the era of K yaois with despicable semes with horse sized socks and it's becoming easier and easier to drop these stories when the uke is mistreated over and over by the seme or people around him. But Joo Yeomin is the sweetest character ever and has the cutest chibis!!! Why can't the writer just let him find a bit of happiness!?!?!? I really don't want to quit this because he is so precious and innocent.

Silly me. I was actually looking forward to the epilogue only to have it turn into yet another K yaoi where the seme fucks like a wild animal with no self control, while the uke begs him to stop. And that doesn't negatively impact their relationship at all.

I know it's not real, but man or woman, sex is not pleasant when you're literally begging someone to stop. And since so many semes are drawn with horse sized cocks these days, I can only imagine how truly painful having sex with these uncontrollable beasts would be. Obviously some people like yaois like this, but everyone doesn't. And it seems like more and more stories have non-con as a feature.

Jeongwon's green flag seems to be turning red and that's making me concerned for Inhwee. I hope this doesn't get dark.

I need a relationship chart or people to wear nametags to keep track of what's going on. Too many characters look the same.

I know the writer is obsessed with riches and fame, but do we really need another heir to a large conglomerate???? The brother story was kinda interesting, now it feels predictable.

I'm starting to pity yaoi readers and writers who don't know what real penises look like. Imagine the shock and disappointment the first time you see a penis irl if you've spent years reading yaois with monster cocks! It's gone from absurd to farce to laughably ridiculous. I'm just waiting for the day when a seme's dick is longer than his leg

I've never been to Korea, so I really can't understand why K yaoi authors are sooooo obsessed with good looking, terrible, rapist semes in so many stories. It feels like with each new story, it becomes more normalized and that's such a shame. Yes, it's fiction. But rape happens everyday. And if a gay man gets raped, most societies don't care. And readers of these stories who you would expect to at least sorta care about real gay people are becoming so numb to rape that it often feels like readers think rape is nbd as long as the seme starts being nice by the end of the story. That's awful.

I know no one is forcing anyone to read this and we could stop at any time. But it's hard to drop a story when the last thing you see from a character you've grown to care about over years is him getting pinned down and rraped by the man he's been in love with for most of his life. This is really tramatic and triggering.

I know we all let a lot slide when it comes to human anatomy in yaoi, but I can't help but wonder if the author has ever actually seen a man's nipple. That was soooooo unsexy! (⊙…⊙ )

I've never been so happy for a yaoi to end. This was miserable, I'll never read anything by this author again

I miss when this was about Max and Chris's relationship. Now each chapter is filled with terrible events. This is too messed up, I'm done

Cain deserved so much better. But I'm glad he's happy and back with his family

rhjames created a topic of Stigma (Doo Down)

The dad is gorgeous, but after Bye Bye being wonderful, this plot is disappointing. I'm so tired of rapey semes and a complete lack of consent. Also the eyes are kinda creepy. I'm putting this one on hold.

rhjames created a topic of Yours to Claim

I hope this ends soon. A better writer would not be dragging in this out when the outcome has been obvious since the start.

rhjames created a topic of Yours to Claim

Every chapter is nothing but misery and pain. This could end now and I would feel nothing but contempt. jooin suffered in the beginning, but I've sat through all the suffering and now the victim has become the villain. It's obvious what the writer is trying to do, but it's completely not working. Please end this soon. I wish Cain never showed up, he deserved sooooooooo much better!
