I actually think the author could so much more, I'm not a fan of wither of the stories. The first was done prior, countless times, and sometimes much better, and the second was flat since I really didnt feel the love between the charaters and couldnt care for them.
That sucks cause I was really happy to see that another manga of hers was released. But whatever I'll wait for the next one ~
I really tried to enjoy the nicely colored smut but the plot is - I really don't have a nice words to put this into. How can a story be so wrong? Why would you ever want a relationship with a person that acts like a kid? That was off for me from the start. Diha is acting like a pedophile. Mentally, Rujin is like an 11 year old that has a relationship with a 20 year old. Can we really be suprised when this get so messed up? Well I'm kind of mad at myself here cause I just didn't want to see this coming :<
I'm so pissed rn cause the story had some good thoughts placed into it and the art is just beautiful but I would kill myself before getting to any kind of relationship that resembles this one.
I hate this sm (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Ok i didn't think before speaking so let me clarify XD
I don't agree with none of the things you said, first of all. I do not think Rujin should date a minor, and the autism argument is valid, but what I tried to say (and failed, yay) was that all of Rujin personality is just him acting like a kid. He is a one note character. There is no way he represent a much more complex situation, like dating a person that has autism. Dating a person like him is purely dating him because he is acting like a child, this is his entire personality.
Also, they are not really dating. They are hooking up, and it's kind of worst since there doesn't seem to be something about him that Diha is realy interested in besides his body.
I also don't think a relationship with a person like that (a person that is not in the same mental age as you, a person that have autism etc) should be taken so lightly as well. I do not know how relationship works with this kind of mental gap, but not only are the chatacters not in the same mental space, they didn't have one logical conversation about their relatinship, which made the gap even bigger. And now theres rape.
Diha herself felt a couple of times like she's taking advantage of Rujin. That's because she kind of is. She knows he doesn't grasp the dept of the things they are doing, yet doesn't bother to even try to give him the tools to understand what is going on. That feels really off to me.
To me, the plot is completely nonsensical, so much that I don't even think Rujin is really representing a child- like character. As you said, they had no one logical interaction (not that I stopped to read all of them) everytime they talk they just do and say stupid sht. For me, that's a clear indication of a really bad writer, who wanted to make them act a certain rol, but completely failed at doing so. I mean, not even an editor child correct that, it would have to be re-written.
In conclusion, I think Rujin is meant to be simple-minded, submissive, cute, protective, kinda dumb... Like a real dog. While she's just confused, not very smart or mature... I'm my opinion she's more a zoophilic than she could be a pedo.
I get where you're coming from, I think it's a metter of pov at tgis point. From my reading expirience Rujin just felt way more child like so I can't ignore it anymore XD I tried to and I'm officially done.
What a shame tho the art is just amazing, there are so much more stories that deserve that level of... everything. What a shame.
I still hate the fact that he didn't bother to have a conversation with Kangha. If you love him and treat him as an equal in your relationship, have the respact to explain everything and giving him a heads up. Even through you secretery or something.
I guess that they don't know eachother for a long enough time but still
Ugh
Don't you just stan rape tho
Like, I get it, I understand yaoi land doesnt take rape very seriously, but using sexual assult a few chapters prior and for the plot without taking it seriously... and then making Suha rape Jiwoon and making it seem so awkward and relatable like hey, don't we all randomely rape people that love and care for us? #sorandom
...That left a terrible taste in my mouth
This manhwa is not a piece of art, that's right, it never claimed to be, but just...
Why
Just why was that ever neccecery
Why did we need this
WHY
And I immidiatly knew that best friend is going to piss me off once more. I'm usually sympathetic but that guy was trash. The story is honetly great, but I do believe he was kind of a wasted opportunity.
Generally great read and characters, it's not insainly deep, but very sweet and wholesome. Just what I wanted tbh^^
someone knows if this has a novel and if it has where i can find it? ;-;
