and it's just so sad in general how most of yall are going on about it has no rape, so it's a good story. like....i agree that's one of the — if not the most important — factor i look for in a story, but it is not the only one. and it's just sad how most of the popular yaoi/bl media follows the same disgusting rape to love trope, and when we find one that doesn't have it we immediately think of it as a good one. i do believe that a good story must be nontoxic, and i hate rape in stories (unless it is not fetishized and maybe used in a realistic setting of trauma and coping), but just the absence of it doesn't make it a good story. it conforms to other stereotypical bl ideas, and overall it was a very bland and dull progression, with the least emotional engagement and just sex. i mean, it's a fast paced read and there are stories like these, pwp, non toxic, and an okay read. but i just find it so confounding how almost everyone is defending it like it's a phenomenal story. anyway, it's just my personal opinion :")
started reading thing but damn it's so weird idk so dropped it. idk but i feel like the working more on their personalities would've been better, because they all feel like 1 dimensional characters, hajoon the strong seme who is so in love and will do everything, eunsoo is the stereotypical uke who is fragile and soft and runs away from everything, and then friend who is like a protector figure.... and like i know it's non-toxic, but that's not it. hell, i don't read or drop toxic manhwas all the time, but if the story isn't don't well, even is a non-toxic one, it isn't really a good manhwa. like i see exceptionally good manhwas being left unread and ignored, while these plotless ones with good art and pretty faces get all the attention it's just so sad :/ (read 'off the plate' please if you haven't already, it's one of the best manhwas to exist)
i forgot when i started this.... but i reread it again and i must say it was worth it. The story progressed very nicely, and several subplots are at play at the same time, but i feel like several strands are scattered here and there for a bigger main plot (well the caius, kouichi one and the prophecy and the bride, caius becoming the king etc) but i like this a lot huhuhu i like how loving the main couple are they're so soft and cozy ughhh and tbh i want their story to go on for a 100 more chapters i won't mind it <3
i cant say i don't like the story because i do (no matter how overly dramatic it is.... but okay.....) i just have one thing that keeps irking me....like if taewoong saw the hickey, he could've just asked dojin where he was and if he slept with anyone instead of just randomly cutting him off like.....how is it going to solve anything? if u want to break up then just say let us break up and not avoid him forever god that's the thing i hate the most ooof and sangyoon's whole arc was crazy like why is a psychopath like him walking free??? as if giving a car ride is enough to redeem his potential rape attempt, his weird obsession to break them up and from what i realised he just wanted to doninate and violate dojin not actually love him ugh ANYWAY it was a good read if keep those aside
i feel like half of the sex scenes could be cut off and maybe the story will have some sort of grounding then..... chapters and chapters on sex is kinda boring and off putting when there's a bigger plot at play here :/
I kind of wouldn’t mind the excessive sex scenes if the story didn’t have much of a plot. You know, like those stories that are primarily about sex- and the plot is really just there to string you along from sex scene to sex scene?
But the issue here, is that this is not one of the stories. Obviously this story has a very detailed plot with a lot of unraveling to do. There’s so many layers to this onion, and yet it’s like the author is determined to turn this onion into deep fried onion rings battered in cum.
lmao it's just me who doesn't find this funny like....idk man the thought of being locked up without even the freedom to move around, or pee/poop properly, and getting abused/raped every day...idk where the comedy is....like is the comedy supposed to be them swirling their dicks? or not being able to poop properly because the sewage is bad? or is it in the fucking psychopath accidentally forcing his fuck in his and literally ripping him. im so disgusted and repulsed fuck










im sorry the blood fucked me up i cant read this anymore oh my god
