I'm glad the rest of the extras go back to addressing more unresolved issues with the parents. The kid's cute, but there was really way too much baby fanservice for two or three extras straight, like I get it he's a chubby lil puppy but I want to know more about dad and dad and the entire family dynamic.
I get how Jaeha's flip flopping was really annoying to people, but it was a very nice characterization of human denial and burying one's head in the sand. I also think Hanjoon is right, Jaeha never said he would be lovers or wanted to be boyfriends, in that regard he was pretty honest that it was just for sex and a means to achieving escapism. Their connection was messy and full of harm self-inflicted and otherwise, but I love how it was illustrated and not hidden away, we get to see all the skeletons in the closet, which is refreshing.
A giant nothing-burger. Waiting for a plot twist, or for the seme to completely ruin things with his possessive clingy stupidity, but with the way Ilhoo is being a welcome mat for him my patience is waning.
girl it's called fluff why do you want the characters to be sad like go read smthn else then??
I want to see if this so far bland plot goes somewhere. If you think it's 'fluffy' to pressure someone into sex or try to monopolise and manipulate them and isolate them from their social networks, I have a talking goat to sell you. Just to be clear I like fluff, this isn't it.
exactly!!! this type of character writing is so normalized and common in yaoi that I feel like ppl gaslight themselves into thinking this is "fluff"
Anyone who thought Hamin's first time with Sehyuk was going to be wholesome and fluffy is deluding themselves, their relationship is super slanted in power dynamic and Sehyuk always got his way despite Hamin's wants/needs, the extras don't surprise me in the slightest.
I'm not a fan of pushy third wheels in yaois so this chapter kinda gave me the ick. And for the record I am an old school yaoi connoisseur as well as an enjoyer of newer stuff, this type of casual butting in-dome is just annoying to me in characters.
What if NOTHING bad happens and they just fuck like crazy into the sunset? Or, or, or they plot to take over the kingdom together and ML ends up being emperor and MC his first concubine and then they fuck like crazy into the sunset? I'd get out my popcorn for either scenario tbh.
This is super simplified for anyone confused about the politics, basically the king's younger brother (official in purple garb heretofore known as Purple Man) who first comes to seek Heeryang out was concerned with the threat in the north and wanted to eliminate it, but was meeting opposition from politicians who were suspicious of his motivations. In order to secure the borders and do what he thought was best for the country, the Purple Man ordered Heeryang to eliminate the dissenting politician (MC's father if I'm not mistaken) in order to make the other politicians fall in line and agree to securing the borderlands.
After the campaign in the north succeeded and security was returned to the border, the border lords who are probably like feudal lords of fiefdoms a little like Japanese daimyos I imagine though maybe lesser ranked, being militaristic and survived on military campaigns and battles no longer had much purpose since there was not a great need for them. These border lords started raiding/pillaging the rural towns and basically started eating into their own nation's resources creating a new problem for Purple Man to try and solve. In order to squash this new problem Heeryang was employed to sow mistrust and fear among these lords so that they would start being suspicious of themselves and their compatriots turning their focus to in-fighting.
This is what I gather from the snippets shared. Feel free to correct any misunderstandings to help people get a clearer picture!
This story mostly takes place in seedy brothels, is about human trafficking, and touches on the criminal underworld, anyone expecting a fluffy story filled with consent is just an idiot.
Yup anyone coming here expecting rainbow and shit can fuck themselves with unicorns horn thank you
There can never be enough power bottoms.
