You’re bantering? He chained you to the wall and you’re bantering???
This author’s so good at making male characters that feel like actual guys lol right down to being casual about sex but being petty and jealous when the person they’re specifically interested in is just as casual as they are.
Sometimes a BL is just straight up using the plot of bad frat boy “not gay because the balls aren’t touching (too much)” porno, and that’s okay.
I love this, tbh. I dropped it before because I really hated the rape in volume 1 but I gave it a chance again and it’s so interesting. Mah was initially the protagonist of a toxic yaoi series with his ex, where they did nothing but fuck and screw people over. And then the more it went on, the more Mah found himself getting tired of it and wanting a quieter, simpler life. When he meets Hitoshi, he behaves like he’s the toxic seme of a yaoi manga and is rapey and terrible, and it doesn’t work. Hitoshi doesn’t want a toxic seme, he just wants someone to stay by his side. Mah doesn’t want to have a whirlwind toxic romance, he just wants to settle down. I like that ever since that one terrible experience, the two of them aren’t depicted as having penetrative sex. Their relationship is slow, and is more about learning the other person and how they become a part of your life in ways you don’t even realize were there until they’re gone and you want them beside you.
It’s funny to read an omegaverse more interested in the world and individual characters than actually rooting for any couple. I’m not really rooting for anyone to end up together, and I think what Taketora has with Arisaka is more of a FWB situation that both of them don’t have any emotional attachment to. But the universe is fascinating — Nemui is much more interested in the society that A/B/O creates over its relationships.
I want to see what she thinks of female Alphas. If A/B/O would nullify misogyny, or if misogyny still prevails even with the existence of male Omegas and that the caste system of society has merely expanded in an A/B/O world.
Hyunho’s rizz is so unreal, I’d have been on my knees already if I was Hyunchul.
lol I know that the point of this is that the two of them switch but I still prefer seeing guys like Satoshi bottom.
I hope I’m making sense here but these two men look like they buy their clothes from Supreme. It feels like I’m reading BL about the guys I’ve met at the skate park.
It’s so funny how the two of them are on entirely different storylines in their heads
Ah, I’m so glad this was just a season finale and not actually the end of the series! There’s so much left unanswered, especially with Mokhwa’s old boss and what he’ll do if he ever comes back to Mokhwa’s life.
As for Mokhwa and Nakwon’s relationship, once again I’ll say that I think the author did a good job of portraying how their circumstances, personalities, and life experiences allowed them to somehow have a relationship together. The author reiterates again and again that in normal circumstances, many would be very turned off or even terrified of Nakwon for his selfishness and assault. But Mokhwa, who sees sexual assault as if it was regular physical assault, is so starved for attention and companionship that he allows his own rapist to stay beside him and is mostly just confused at why Nakwon doesn’t go away. Nakwon, meanwhile, honestly hasn’t changed because even now he’s still a selfish asshole who hates when things are inconvenient for him lol and the only reason he regrets raping Mokhwa is that it’s made it hard for him to court the man. He’s sorry for the assault, but only for the setbacks it caused with his relationship with Mokhwa, and he’s just really lucky that Mokhwa is starved for affection because any other person would’ve tried to run away from Nakwon.
All in all, it’s such a fascinating relationship and I can’t help but be invested! Nakwon’s honest scumminess kind of makes him bizarrely more likeable than other BL semes who’ve done just as gross shit, while Mokhwa’s resilience makes you really root for him and want to see him finally be happy. I’m really excited for season 4.
Oh, these two are men alright, neither of them wants to tell the other that they like them first because otherwise they lose the made up game they have in their heads LMAO
Can’t take a man named Sony seriously. Sir, can I have a PS5 Pro?
I’ve read this and it’s more like the plain guy is NTR’d as the lead singer is a seke that tops the plain guy but bottoms for the taller dude, but the plain guy is kind of into it when he sees them. Kind of a waste for me because I wanted the leader to top both.
I think this story is really good at depicting how a man like Mokhwa might still end up having some sort of affection for a rapist like Nakwon. Even Nakwon had pointed out in earlier chapters that other people wouldn’t be able to sit in the same room as their rapist, but Mokhwa is so conditioned to violence that he views rape as the same as getting beaten up (meaning, he’ll be fine as long as he doesn’t die) and he’s so starved for any affection that while he isn’t going to deny the horrors someone’s done to him, Mokhwa won’t push them away if they come back to him. Essentially Mokhwa’s desire for someone to stay beside him is stronger than his need to push terrible people away, and so he will even let Nakwon, his rapist, come into his flower shop and stay until he ends up as a constant presence in his life.
As for Nakwon… While I think he does love Mokhwa now, I think deep down he fundamentally hasn’t changed and he’s really only experiencing regret for raping Mokhwa because it’s really given him a disadvantage at trying to get Mokhwa to like him. I think he’s interesting, because he’s really aware that what he did was messed up and vile, but he’s also looking at it more like a misstep towards what would’ve been a smooth courting (in his messed up head). I find myself liking him as a character (not as a person lol), because compared to other semes that like to pretend they’ve changed after assaulting their lovers, Nakwon still knows he’s a scumbag that raped the man he loves and he’s not expecting to be forgiven but is instead trying to win Mokhwa over. Nakwon’s just really lucky that Mokhwa’s own issues haven’t gotten him kicked to the curb.
I’m rereading the story and while I do actually like the development, I wonder when Mokhwa’s ex-boss is going to show up again? He’s been absent forever while Nakwon’s trying to win Mokhwa over. It’s almost like Nakwon’s forgotten he has an actual job to bring down a mob boss lmao
Mokhwa: I am floating in a deep dark ocean and my mind is filled with its pitch black waves... ☠
Nakwon: Hehe Mokhwa sexy~
The “… Oh. Okay.” took me out. Mohkwa, I love you.
Not the 3D tennis balls taking me out of the manhwa to laugh.
