Nothing against this story in particular for using it, but I am tired of reading some variation of the phrase, "Oh golly, it's too big! I'll die!" in every story that takes place in the distant past.
...complaining about this being on the Mangago's homepage! :D It's on the homepage because it is popular (I guess, since it is in that section!) Apparently a lot of us got drawn into clicking on it to see what the fuck it was about, I guess, or else people actually like it, which given it's rating, might be true. I read the first two chapters just to see, and the premise is so ridiculous. Might as well be the "Oh no, pizza guy, I can't pay!" porno prompt from a scantily clad lady in a 70s porn to a mustachioed goofball in a Domino's hat. But to be fair, I've seen worse plots in yaoi. And tv. And movies. And classical literature. I won't be reading it, but reading the comment section has been hilarious!
The armchair, hallmark-level philosophy in the author's writing is starting to grate my nerves. I've always thought that visual novels were more about SHOWING (via artwork) and less about exposition (via the written word). But the author has gone off the rails here with the last several chapters reading like the denouement of a poorly written Austen-era romance novel.
And yeah, I'm still gonna read the sumbitching thing.
LMAOOOO
I am waiting untill it's over so that I can write a nice review of this garbage and slap the worst possible vote on it.
All those people who argued that what is going on in the story isn't abuse -- surely they can't deny this is straight up assault. Sure, they can argue Doc Dan might have "signed up" for the job, but nowhere did he agree to what happened in this chapter. Being put on display and humiliated like that without consent - Jeebus. I've been holding out hope for some iota of development, but this is getting ridiculous. If Dan finds out about what happened and what was said about him being a possession, and he doesn't run, then my suspension of disbelief cannot be sustained. No one as nice and kind as Doc Dan is going to let this go on. If he doesn't stand up for himself at some point, then there is no use in reading any further.
Omg, I totally agree with ya there!
PERIOD.
no way ppl are saying this ain’t abuse.. DAN BETTER STICK UP FOR HIMSELF OR IM THROWING MY PHONE TO MY WALL AND PUNCHING THE SCREEN which i’ve done too many times as reading this and many manhwa’s and mangas the same type (save my phone)
If he exposed Jaekyung for being an abuser and leaves debt free that'd be the best outcome, also maybe gets with Heesung...? I wish more series would give a redemption arc that's just THE ABUSER GOING TO HELL
You'd have to scroll far back in comments, but from the last chapter, or perhaps the one before that, people were arguing that Dan had signed up for this whole situation (not the current one, but what happened prior to this chapter) and how none of it was sexual assault or abuse. And there is one rabid commenter who attacked anyone who suggested that Jaekyung was an abuser/rapist, that anyone who said that did not understand the story. I was like -- oh yeah, I understand, and I can usually overlook it if there is some redeeming quality for the perpetrator. This is a common trope in manga/yaoi/manhwa after all. But I see no redeeming qualities for Jaekyung at this point. He is an animal, not a person.
HOW DO PEOPLE THINK HE DESERVES THAT, how about Jaekyung can suddenly have all his finances taken by Kim Dan fleeing the country . Jaekyung clearly has a history of abuse I mean... he punched his last "partner."
The creator herself just seems to like rapist characters, I mean she had assault in BJ Alex but this is just another level... people who are thinking this is okay are going to ignore red flags in real life so fast if they think that consent and all that isn't important.
So, things are going smoothly. Something bad has to happen now, right? There has to be some upcoming conflict... else the story will just be over.
Whenever I read a good smooth-going story, I always have this thought too. I wish for this story to continue more but not much drama
Yes. I want to read more but I still feel like the BF will be a problem somehow. Or his being in the "mafia" will play into it. I just hope no one gets hurt! These two are just too adorable right now. I kind of want to see the seme's bad boy side.
When I first began reading this, I thought it would just be smut. But I rather like the plot, simple though it is.
I downvoted by accident sorry.
It's all good, fam. :D
Maybe her drawing style is just different in this chapter, but Akihito just doesn't look like Akihito to me. Not saying it isn't him, he just looks so different. Maybe it's the effect of his captivity or something.
Not gonna lie, I love this manga -- it was one of my first yaoi mangas. But I feel like we could have had closure. Now she's introducing new characters and plot lines that will take volumes to resolve. And I know she can't produce the chapters quickly due to her personal life and issues, so it will be a long wait for resolution. But I will wait it out. I need to know what happens. I'm starting to worry she's jumping the shark, as it were. Also, did she just give up on Crimson Spell?
the last chapter for Crimson Spell will be released in about 2 weeks ;)
To long
Wow, really? Now I need to reread the last few chapters to remind myself what is going on.
The King of Happy Ending Tropes dictates that she must be "unwell" because she is actually pregnant, right? Gotta be.
