When you think about it, it's just really dumb to miss exam because you were rap--coerced by your jealous obsessive lover. There was a similar scene from "Sign" where yohan kept it in his pants and behaved like a real gentleman. Hate to compare but at this rate, the art's the only redeeming quality to this manhwa. Though I'd like to stay for redemption arc where they find a mutual enemy so they could stop fighting each other and instead come together to defeat the villain
Turns out the real enemy is....MONEY and the fight against capitalism wearing masks and capes xD
*they
Season finale? Seriously, they're going to blue ball us for how many months until the next season?
Funny, you chose a starting point where your life could end
Only reading comments to decide whether I'll start reading it. So is this some kinda joo jerkyoung (jinx) kind of dick seme and frustrating uke? Coz if yes, I'll pass. I want to lie low reading toxic for the time being.
Yep. You should definitely not go for this one if you're trying to avoid toxic ones.
Thanks!
I'd actually argue it's worse lol.
Honestly, I agree. I read the novel too and it gets even worse still.
Can it really get worse than that? My ideal end would be the nuthead to be a donor match to inseob....
I don't know it's about the same level of toxicity for me
Nah, Jinx had no blackmail and their relationship was transactional, "you sleep with me and I give you unlimited money" whereas here we have "do everything I say or I'll ruin your life and the life of everyone you know"
Why people are so obsessed with Jinx? Jaekyung is not the most toxic top ever, of course he isn't, there are a lot worse.
Exactly. We're unfortunately only at the tip of the iceberg.
agreed
To me Joo Jaekyung is better. Obviously non con aspect is present in both manhwa. But Jaekyung atleast is somewhat professional, went out of his way to pay extra for grandmas hospital fee. And Wooyeon is just a psycho.
The sex scenes in Jinx were honestly more palatable. This manhwa is straight up rape and assault. I feel bad for in seob
I think it's the verbal abuse that trigger them. That's the most common type of abuse so it's probably the most relatable one.
Almost everyone encounter it in their life, one way or another, so it's more likely to create an emotional response.
Ironically not being the worse is what make it the worst in people's eyes.
I think it's cuz the work is just so popular lol. Ppl were expecting more quality from Minghwa, who had written a similar narrative in BJ Alex but in that the top is nowhere near as shitty as Jaekyung. There's prolly some other reasons too but these are just my 2 cents.
ofc jaekyung isn't the most toxic top in yaoi but I'd say that he is one of the ones ppl can point easily at and say yep thats the poster boy of abusive horse looking asshole (again going back to just the huge popularity of Minghwa and their series)
The reason I put them in same toxicity is because I don't excuse one act over entire behaviour. Don't care if he payed for the service or was nice to the granny or is blackmailer if you are toxic I draw the line period. If I find excuses over one thing people build adaptation and in time will find excuses for another and another. This is how abusers test the waters and develop toxic relationships first is a slap, then excuse , then is a kick etc. That's not healthy relationship anyway you slice it both of the mangas has toxic relationships and I hope the ukes to get their sh** together and get away of this both deserve better than this. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
No one said any of them was not toxic... I think we all quite agree that both MLs are toxic, just that we think one is actually worse than the other, especially in the context of the OP's comparison between the two series. By your logic, prison time should be the same for all crimes, i.e. both petty crime and federal crime should receive life sentences lol.
And if you personally feel like you're getting desensitized to these kinds of themes, I suggest you step away from reading them. I've encountered fiction like these for so many years, and I could honestly say that they're just as bad as the first one I've ever read. Maybe the shock factor has faded, but the dread and the grief and the empathy only ever remained, and even deepened as I matured. I think that kind of thing you're describing is a personal problem with the foundation of the individual's morality and the strength of their mentality imo.
Also, people (especially susceptible teenagers...) shouldn't be getting relationship advice from pornographic fiction anyway. In fact, I think getting any kind of advice from the internet should pretty much be subjected to careful scrutiny always.
Lol I'm sorry but putting petty Vs federal as example is ludicrous it's entirely different thing. But if your maturity speaking that one is less toxic based on one good deed of an abusive dude then by all means let's leave it at that. Don't think we can find middle ground Lol
Watta crappy timing for cliffhanger. Thank you for a steamy update.
That sniper kid doesn't have much screen time or dialogs but when he speaks, he always makes sense. Seems he's the thinker in the team while 004 is a noisy siren. BTW, even though they already let go of 001 to live civilian life, his opinion still seems to matter to them even if they don't admit it. It sounds to me as though the were looking for excuses to refuse the assassination request for the Ijin's sake. They're so adorbs
Ikr! (≧∀≦)
Seeing Ijin's usual monotone voice and stoic face reminded me of Alie the AI in the100 TV series. But Ijin seems worse in detecting emotions from people. Lol
When they were covered in darkness I thought "Oh, looks like his power's like a blackhole". Then pluton said "meteor fall" and that fiery light zoomed into the villain's mug. Will there be another empty spot in top50 ranking? Anyway, I hope the kids are alright. Nice fight pluton, you're a living breathing fort Knox in awakened world
You're searching for Alice by following Ijin. What if it's not Alice you find but the numbers? They wanted Ijin to live a normal life while eating fried chicken but you're dragging him back to the mud. They won't have that
