There's a Sexual Assault scene. A lot of people don't want to mention this because its the kind of thing that scares away readers but it needs to be said.
It does happen between the main couple. The assaulter is Jinhyeong. From what I remember it's not super graphic and it ends very quickly. It ends because Uyun grabs Jinhyeong's dick and proceeds to scold him harshly.
The scene is extremely nuanced and does treat the moment fairly seriously (there's still a humorous element after Uyun grabs Jinhyeong's dick to scold him but even then the actual assault itself is never a part of the joke). I don't want to go into the reasons why it happens because it kind of spoils the entire first arc of the series.
I'm not going to argue whether it was handled well or not but I do think it was, in some ways, realistic (especially with how it happened). I think it mightve been a little too lenient with Jinhyeong (he never tops after this) but as you go on its hard to hate him. I think it's a very nuanced take on how assault isnt always something done by people with bad intentions. Sometimes it's done by people you love and trust and who might love you but for whatever reason also resent and wish to hurt you.
It's still a good story in my opinion. Jinhyeong is still a character I like and find very interesting but he's very complicated and did something pretty awful.
Please read at your own risk.
OoooouuuuuuuHHHH IT HURTS SO BADDDDD
I NEED TBEM TO REUNITE AND MAKE AMENDS AS ADULTS PLEEEEEEASE I BEGGGFJDHSGAV
Someone said "what if song-rik killed himself and they can't make up" and it hurt me sooo bad I had to share （/TДT)/
nawwww I say that comment too and was like "why are you the devil"
I've already seen people ask who's gonna be the "uke" and uhhh...yeah I don't think there's only going to be one the way things are going. I could be wrong of course but I'm gonna hazard a guess that he's gonna be "taking care" of all the animal-hybrids needs.
Also suspect he might put Dr. G in his place eventually if you catch my drift.
Basically, high chance this is gonna be a porny harem type story. I'd advise those of y'all who don't like that sort of thing to shut your mouths and move on to greener pastures.
That said, why is this series so addicting (?) I don't care about the porn as much but the plot has me hooked.
Nah, lemme me dream and lil A gets all the bitches like who's gonna help them with the heat yanno yannoლ(´ڡ`ლ)
That's what I'm saying babes! There's no one singular bottom it's a harem!
Like don't get me wrong Jihan is a jerk pretty frequently in this story but like...y'all getting mad at him for not knowing how to handle a situation in which your ex (now a famous celebrity) pressures you into going a date with him (after you tell him no and to leave you alone multiple times) by leveraging his fame to make you act accordingly is... interesting. I thought we grew past the victim blaming back in the late 2010s but I guess I was wrong.
Also yes Jihan is being wishy-washy but like it's kind of integral to his character development, no? Am I crazy for thinking this? Is the point of this story not about him learning that it's okay to love and trust others? Isn't the whole reason he has complicated feelings about Heeseop because that's the first person to actually consider his feelings and continue to reassure him that they love him genuinely. Yes Jiyeong does too but he fucked up and broke Jihan's trust pretty significantly. And since Jihan doesn't feel comfortable sharing his past there's not much he can do to fix it.
The whole point of this series is that Jihan learns to trust and love again. Did you think it would just happen like that with no bumps in the road? Don't get me wrong it's not a perfect story and Jihan isn't a perfect character but the complaints are so nonsensical to me. Real cow on a cow farm type shit.
Omg I actually love you? (You said all what I was thinking) Like I feel Ive been the only one yelling into a void of nonsensical ppl who can’t comprehend his character or eventually development?
Like yes, jihan isn't perfect but WHO IS? Even my bbg heeseop isnt perfect— he’s a goofy perv weirdo but he has a heart of gold like come on now. The story is more of a slow burn in terms of love than it is smut. But it’ll only make the smut better when love gets involved, unlike other BL.
It feels like others just want him to already be changed when character development doesn’t work like that and it takes time to heal from. Reading the recent raw chapters it feels like we are slowly getting that jihan— because it feels when he is around heeseop he feels loved and wants to try but when he’s around jiyoung or seongbin he reverts back to that closed hearted individual.
The way my ass wouldve crashed out and sent a long ass angry text to the group chat. FUCK social harmony. I'm not about to let some egotistical cunt manipulate the story just because HE misunderstood things. Ooh this shit has me mad as hell.
Nah when a BL is busting out the "Human Rights Violations" content waening you know it's about to get FREAKY.
NGL this is more horrifying than sexy. Feels like it's gonna end up down some kind horror/thriller route.
Okay aside from defending the translation.
I actually like the story but knowing they're almost certainly gonna get together has me stressed. Personally as an adult in his later 20s it's an uncomfortable thing to think about. Like okay I understand that the way the author set up the dynamic is that the kid is the more likely the one in control of the situation. I'm gonna guess that nothing will happen until he's fully in college. I would argue this isn't a case of grooming BUT STILL!
I cannot imagine myself in this situation. Like sure if a kid came up to me begging to help them by giving them a place to stay (and they genuinely had no other place to go) I'd help them out. But I don't care how relentless they try to pursue me, I'm making sure they know that it ain't happening ever. Hell when I was 18 and a freshman tried to ask me out multiple times I was firm with them to the very end (kid even tried to surprise kiss me and I had to be like "hey I know you think this is romantic but that's actually sexual harassment or even assault in some cases"). I get that things will happen for the sake of the plot but bruh....
Is the translation good? Not really. But is is bad? No. There's some pretty obvious mistakes here and there but you get what you pay for (or don't pay for in this case). The translator honestly does a decent enough job (though I'm a little irked by them not placing hyung after the names) and it's one person.
To the translator I'd recommend finding someone to proof-read your translations. I'd offer but I have a full time job and other obligations but I'm sure one of the lovely folks here who think the drop in quality is too significant would be more than willing to help.
Listen I get the theorizing but there Gilgamesh is just one of many gods out there. I don’t think he’s a Greek god unless Mojito is referencing ore-hellenistic mythology (which is real possibility).
There a couple possibilities. I’d have to go back and re-read the chapter when FG was actually introduced (as an ally to Isis) but if it is a Greek god then I’m thinking Posideon. And if not then maybe something g like Abzu (Babylonian primordial deity that shares a very similar role). I think he’s associated with water (mainly because his introduction was in part related to the time Isis tried to just flood everything). If I recall he was a part of the plan.
I keep thinking he's jesus lol
But its not a serious theory, cuz I dont know about history and periods
So im saying that because all the information FG spills just fits with jesus story
Even what hes looking because hes kinda cursed or smth hes "the god with his fate written" or smth like that. So maybe he doesn't want to die betrayed in his land and its trying to change that.
And on this ch he says he doesn't know the god before him. Makes sense since Jesus never saw god directly until he died. He was an "envoy" (i dont know if thats the word, english isnt my first language sorry :c)
And for what I understood this story follows history but not very strictly
While I don’t think he’s actually Jesus I will admit there have been some arguments made that make me feel like there’s a non zero chance it could be the case. Like very close to zero but not zero.
Yeah! I had a long list of arguments on a comment from long ago, but this story its so long and im up to date, so I don't remember everything in detail.
I don't think him comming by boat is something that has to do with his powers, but it could be.
The most strong clue that I always point out its that he suggest the people in his country are monoteist, while in every other region like egypt, greece, etc, they are politeist
I think the author its not saying his name for some very specific and important reason. It could be for the plot, or because of the religious problems and allegations they could have if they say for ex jesus or any other name
Maybe we will never know FG's name and thats his grace lol
me last week: man I really wanna recommend this to my friends. sure they're not fond of smut but the plot is just too good!
me now: maybe....maybe I shouldn't recommend this to them
