I know peeps are complaining abt the translation but I'm able to grasp most of it. But I can't wait to get the official one cause this chapter nearly made me cry and I'm desperate to see what they were fully saying ;;
That thing where we don't think about the nuance of a character past surface level content we see on the screen, read it again, BOTH of them were abused, he's not purposefully being a jerk, he's unintentionally harming her because of his own perspective of normality towards abuse and neglect that he grew up with in the household.
Thiiiiiiis is what everyone forgot when he turned up. I feel so bad for him.
If they don't talk in the next 5 chapters, I'm gonna consider jumping straight out my window <3
Is there SA before I start this and get invested? Is there SA in the future for anyone who's read the raws if there are any?
Spoilerr
It does contain SA but there is a misunderstanding between the MC, It might be confusing at first but it'll make sense later and the recent chapters rn is adorbs
depends on how you view it, a bit SA but also could be interpreted as dubious consent from the MC
What chapter does this occur in? I'll make the judgement on my own when I see it
one short occurrence at the beginning of chapter 5 and majority of chapter 8
Thanks for letting me know, not for me, but was good to check first o3o
I spent like a week reading stuff with good communication so coming back to this might be giving me whiplash ;;
Recommend me stuff with good. Communication because the stuff I last read are all horrible and toxic
I second this
LMFAO real
For anyone looking, I have a list ^^ it's under my profile, named healthy relationships, I have a bunch of good ones in there! However, the good communication stuff I was reading was on ao3 XD it's actually worrisome I can't think of many mangas/manwha without a miscommunication plot o^o;
Swear this'll be like my 5th reread since my first back in 2020, like I cannot escape from this for more than a year without coming back. It calls me...ITS SO GOOD AND SO SAD AND I LOVE IT >:OOOO
I've read this a lot, very much love it BUT just skip chapter 11. It's not worth the anger and honestly, I dunno why so many mangakas need to have a side story about an antagonist who made one of the people in the main couple suffer. Like, he doesn't need a redemption arc, he was sleeping with a kid, abusing said kid and then stalked him to his school trying to threaten and hurt him again. No amount of backstory makes up for that :/
Really. You go on and on about being careful and then you rape him. I dunno how many more times I gotta like something and then they immediately being in a noncon plot that does NOTHING for the story omfg.
In general, I loved this manga for YEARS, and it's half due to it being one of the only omegaverse I'd read at the time with healthy communication, but it's definitely got a lot of flaws.
BIGGEST gripe is that we start off with one of them being in HS while the other is an adult who works in said HS, when I was younger I looked past it but it's a major issue. He's eventually is out of hs, but they get together whilst he's in hs (If I remember correctly and with my reread of the chapter), the adult jerks off to said high schooler and honestly, it easily could have been a guy in college since he ends up going to college afterwards, they could've postponed their meeting. At this point, its just framing itself as pedophilic.
Second major flag is that their second child was conceived in what COULD be framed as SA. I had not read the first extra in a long time but going back, it became clear that the seme slightly forces the uke to have sex without a condom on because he wants a child. And honestly, I can't even look past it because of the entire arc of the uke. The uke was raped in high school and was forced to get pregnant and has trauma around the SA that lead up to him having his first child, so I'm not really sure how the author didn't catch that it might be a bad look to have the seme turn around and basically due the same thing, just less blatantly.
Yes, in the end, they both wanted kids but when your partner is saying "we shouldn't" and "we need a condom" that's a no. And not listening to that because you want kids is noncon.
I ended up loving the progression of this manga, and it sustained my interest up until this year when I reread it and started to notice these issues and it left a bad taste in my mouth. I can't fully see myself enjoying the whole story how I had years ago with these things in mind. That's just my outlook. So this is probably where I'll have to drop it :c
And yes, I have a right to complain about it, cause it's something that bothers me. I'm moving on but these are things people might wanna be aware of before they read, and whether they read or not, it's always better to have the warnings before you jump in.
That's so real of you, I remember reading this and having no issue but now I see that a lot of things are wrong with this manhwa. First how they describe omegaverse and how alphas can't control themselves. Like you could have done better. 2nd THE MEETING one being a hs student and other 21 years old adult was not it. 3rd just like you said that was force on uke and him getting pregnant for the 2nd time kinda pissed me off cuz up until today you were having PTSD from the rape and now you're okay? I just think they could have done a better job making this manga
YES! I really really love this manga, I don't hate it, I just really think it could've been better. I really cannot see the whole pregnancy in any other light rather than disingenuous, it completely erases the trauma because it's him. Something I mentioned to someone before about the relationships start is that if the seme was the adult and the uke was the one in hs, people may have had more issues with it and even more so if we changed the situation to being say, a high school girl and a janitor. Many like the premise and overlook the issue because of the twos roles, even saying "but he was 17-18 so it's okay!" like you wouldn't say this about anything else, I don't really care if it's fiction, IT'S WEIRD how we are okay with a possible STILL IN HS minor having sex and dating an adult??
