What a gorgeous mess.
Months later, I check the new chapters and Jaekyung is STILL a flavorless piece of shit (shocker), the author still throws in unnecessary sex scenes to make up for how awful the story is, there are new ridiculous problems being introduced (sleepwalking, "has to be watched" seriously??..) to force proximity so we get to see more of Kim Dan being a pushover and Jaekyung taking advantage of him... I really love the artstyle and the authors other works so I keep coming back to this hoping it gets better, I thought this was meant to be his "redemption arc"??? Has anyone else forgot what the story is even about at this point ??
If Jaekyung didn't have the personality of a wet rag and if he actually expressed his feelings but kept his broody personality, I feel like this would have been significantly more enjoyable and the toxic aspects more endurable to read. It's partly why I think Low Tide In Twilight was received so much better (still not great) with a similar plotline. Anyway, if you're wondering if this has gotten any better, it hasn't. Give it six months lmaoo
I agree with you although I don’t like Low Tide in Twilight either. I read it for a long time & there was some good development, but it took like 50 chapters for the sex scenes to actually be somewhat consensual, & I can’t get over the beginning when he literally rapes him within 5 minutes of meeting him
Recommend me something you’ve read recently that you enjoyed, preferably with nice art. Fluffy/smutty, yaoi/yuri/etc I’m not picky. Thanks!

So Jaekyung drags Dan out of the car by his shirt while he’s drunk and vulnerable, shoves him onto the road and throws water at his face, then in the next chapter goes apeshit when he thinks Dan is dead. 70 chapters in and this guy still sees Dan as a pretty toy he can’t get rid of, not a person lmao. Out of courtesy to those who check back wondering if this has gotten better, it hasn’t. Don’t waste your time
I do agree with this. The people who say that JJK clearly has feelings now aren't really seeing the big picture. All this shows so far is that he is emotionally dependent on Kim Dan, but that's neither affection nor respect(both of which are needed for an actual relationship).
With that said though, I'd still keep reading just to see how the transition from red flag to green flag goes since Mingwa is kind of a star and trendsetter in this field. Also i'm pretty interested in how KD will grow.
I think people are so desperate to see JK be a good guy they just jump onto the green flag wagon as soon as possible.
But your right. As much as we want him to be a green flag...that's just not what is occurring.
He is still only thinking of himself for 1.
His focus being his next match...having a sex partner that's reliable for his jinx to get through it and prove himself to the world and his own consciousness again.
Even in his moments of care for Kim, he questions himself over it. But is quick to dismiss it...he only questions that he has a weird attachment but doesn't like to go beyond it even though...his entire current state is about those feelings. (Basically he has never felt or known genuine love or attraction to or from anyone. So he doesn't know how to process this and tries to find a scape goat. )
Right now he only knows he "loves" to win. He can't and won't for a while...understand that his feelings and emotional state go beyond that. He won't be magically nicer or a suddenly find his inner green flag...no. either it will be a gradual slow change...or it will come after a very harsh...and very, VERY abrupt story twist that will send him essentially flat on his ass. Be it in the ring or outside of it.
Even if he has an abrupt awakening...it doesn't mean he still won't be an ass...he is officially the cat* (chasing) and roles have flipped. But this doesn't mean he isn't suddenly green for chasing his paranoia and worries.
He is still only looking out for himself at the moment...which in an awkward way means he is desperate to watch over and care for Dan.
A concern of his acknowledgement doesn't doesn't to love of a person...but rather obsession of an object. And he doesn't treat dan as a human, or even as a sex tool...but rather as a possession that he must safe guard for his own sake.
