the angst is slowly coming up and i kinda dislike gaeul...
i dislike gaeul because of what she did later in the novel. she's a good person but the decision that she is going to make later make me disliking her.
imma put a gap for my reply... spoilers
iirc, gaeul joined the bad guys' side (the ones that created the drug) because they gave her a drug that makes her feel refreshed after waking up(because hunters have keen senses and when they sleep, they don't sleep like the normal people), that drug can help a hunter sleep better. also because someone from the bad guys' side said something... empathizing about her(gaeul) situation because her power actually put a lot of pressure on her. i don't really remember much. so, gaeul stay with them because she said she wants to be useful and want to find out more how to be useful,etc. something like that.
for isekai without any romance? thanks in advance.
Not sure if these are your type but the ones I've read before that match are:
- Isekai Yakkyoku || https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/isekai_yakkyoku/
- Welcome to Cheap Restaurant of Outcast! || https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/welcome_to_cheap_restaurant_of_outcast/
I recall them having pretty good plots.
some be like "i am concerned about other people's moral", some be like "this is just pwp." and some be like "this is cheating." take your take. but i just wanna say there are so many stories like this which is mostly pwp. you know, porn with plot or it's just straight porn. if you don't like it, click the back button and go ask for some green flag recs. concerning? there are lot of stories like this out there. go give your concerns about this type of story to the author. not the reader. we, the reader, read what we want. boundary of fiction and real life exist unless you blend that boundary. on serious side, one is an asshole and the other is a rapist. so, this is more to non-con. if you read those manhwa/manhua with red/black flag seme and liking them but complaining about this, you should really check yourself.
