I kind of get where the author is going, hear me out. The thing is that now a days BDSM is being portrayed more and more on mangas, especially BL, so I think that the author wanted to give BDSM fanservise, and these chapters came out. Was it done right? No, why?
Because in BDSM or in any kind of kinky play, you have to establish parameters; as long as your partner and YOU want to explore things that way it's fine, but when it's not, you can feel that your boundaries have been pushed out of your comfort zone in sex and that shouldn't happen.

If Ash had talked or/and done kinky or BDSM sex before, then these chapters would have been easier to swallow for the ones that fill uncomfortable right now. But Lyle's boundaries have been pushed before in Ash's alpha cycle (I forgot the word, my lord), and then they where pushed aside with a "well that's the way I am, I am sorry, I love you", and the whole thing repeated here. There was no talk of "I am sorry I pushed you into this, especially for a special moment, are you ok?", and that just made things worse for some readers.

Look, talk with your partner about kinky stuff and what they are fine with. Don't push them into selecting stuff and then use them as a way to punish, or to force them to talk to you... unless it has been established beforehand. Unless you have established what you are both comfortable with, don't just go into it blind.

I understand he wants to make him talk, but miscommunication has not advanced into communication. It just went to "I will force it out of you with uncomfortable sex."

P.S. I don't blame characters I blame authors who dont write things right. Jesus these authors.

Isn't that The thief (Shamtae ?) And the other guy?....
Damn, it has been so many chapters that I am not sure, and I don't remember their names right anymore.

(Chapter 125 ending)

Out of nowhere but the art is really pretty; the colors are a good contrast, and the way the artist drew the female protagonist is like a 90s anime is so good.

Story wise, it's interesting between amnesia and the new school hierarchy... I am just waiting for everything to explode.

I love Mangago and the comments.
I was calmly reading the manga only to be hit with the comments about being unsatisfied about changing things, Mary Sue's, violence and thinks I didn't understand until I went back like 4 pages of comments.

To my understanding, things are like this (a summary of the comments); in the novel things where more violent than in the manga, with Karas' killing hostages left and right as if he where playing with toy soldiers, in the manga he hurt one and Abel stopped him.

Now, some people are saying that that is not true to the novel, other are saying that Abel is a Mary Sue because he stopped him from killing innocent people in the process (I think they dont understand who he stopped from killing), others are trying to explain why Karas is not an asshole (one with trauma but still an asshole, let's be truthfull) , and others are defending Abel, and then there is the occasional funny comments (The one about the Kissing Booth).


My two cents as a gossip column, guys it's a manga and a novel. The development is good in the novel I am sure, but I like Karas here; he is a cute asshole who tries, I am not saying maybe he isn't cute in the novel but I liked the fact he is tuned down. I am personally not stopping reading until he gets more violent, like in the novel (because I want something tamer for a change). In my opinion, Abel was stopping him from killing the hostages and it's all good because, most likely, in that scenario, I would also be a peasant. That one good Kissing Booth comment, if you read this, that was epic in its own way.

I think it's useless to even talk about Hazel now, if I don't get it wrong, it has been YEARS so why the fuck are his friends still thinking they should get together. It's not even the fact they they talked about the ex in the current boyfriends house ( that is bad enough) but they even gave his fucking phone number away. What was the purpose other than fucking everything up and making it worse for your shitty reasons. They don't even know WHY they broke up, but here they are giving info away.

In the Spanish version, Hazel hasn't met Ash since the US fiasco, where Ash also kissed Karlyle.

P.D.
By the way, I made a spoiler post, but I couldn't even post or see the replies (they disappeared). I'm so sorry if I didn't respond.

Why can't the guy be like 21 if you had to make him older, and the high school kid is 19 or something? The age gap is too big. Plus, the way the story develops on a weird way, it's more like, "I am giving this kid a chance because I feel bad, it's not really serious." After he told him not to answer recklessly to confessions, and to not half ass things.

The way he said he loved him too was too easy be ause we didn't even see what he loved about the kid. It's one of those stories where people think it's natural to go from friends to lovers because of the flow.

I read the manga in Spanish, and if you want to know like 5 chapters ahead, I will spill. It's long, sorry.


Turns out it's not just that one friend, Ash, should change most of his friends because the assholes went to the party mainly to reunite Ash with his ex. So the next day, Karlyke is looking to wake everyone up for breakfast and everything, and he hears Ash's asshole friends talking about the ex in HIS house. And it's was not only mentioning him, no, they had a conversation about how Ash was such a good paring with the ex, and how they where expecting Ash to be more heartbroken because they where bonded (which from what I understood, apparently it was false) and they even gave Ash's new phone number to his ex so that they would communicate. Of course, it's just that NOW that they met Karlyle (even ate at his place), they feel bad about doing that.
So Karlyle pushes Ash away, and he even feels bad about it because everyone canceled plans because of him (no, sweety it's because of your Bf asshole friends). The next day, they eat separately, and Karlyle goes to visit Ash at work when he sees the ex-boyfriend with Ash. Just when he is about to run away, Ash catches up.
And the hole situation is resolved quicker than the fucking build up, because Ash just tells the ex that they have nothing to do with each other, and that he is in love with Karlyle now. But the ex can't shut up for the life of God, and he starts saying how they are a bad pairing because Karlyle is an Alpha and "can he even satisfy him because of that? It's not like they can even bond. He is even willing to take Ash back just like he has told him numerous times before. " Ash shuts him up (like he should have his friends) and tells him that it's none of his business, Karlyle is enough, and that the ex doesn't have a say since he CHEATED on Ash and flew of to the U.S. without telling Ash. Ash is even willing (my big eye roll) to let everything go and not tell anyone he cheated in exchange for him leaving them alone. So they go back home and Ash explains the relationship and well Karlyle tells him his insecurities (well founded, especially with most of Ash's friends saying he is not good enough compared to fucking Hazel) and they made up. There are other chapters, but I don't know if you want that tea or not.

That one MF friend that you should drop or have words with. I swear it's none of his business who Ash is going out with after years of break up (even if it is a short time between break ups, you dont know if something else happened), and he doesn't need to explain anything to HIM of all people.

If he thinks that after a long break up and a new relationship, Ash should be with someone else, then that's HIS problem and not Ash's or Karlyle's. But he had to go and make it one. Worst is that people like that exist in real life.

I'm not trying to be antagonistic or anything, but I think that what people dont like is the trope. Well... I personally don't like the do over trope with someone new in the body. If it had been the original, then it would be better. Especially when you have a contrast between Daejun and the band members.

There is a nice meme in isekai reddit that said something like "the original villaines watching her sh¡t family be loving with the girl who took her body."

Like I said, they are not bad, but taste wise, I don't like that trope ... hypocritical of me since I read this, right?

People are right, no one is expected to fix anyone, but in my opinion it is hypocritical that you see the signs of suicide and then be sorry and try to fix him after he forgot about you.

I don't think it's them it's more like the way they write that. In one chapter, you find out they liked him in the past, and then the next, the author tells you that everyone saw the signs of a mind spiraling towards su¡cide.
I think if they write most of the bad things in a series of chapters and then they show how they take care of him now, with things that they knew the original liked, then it would have been better. And by things he used to like I mean, favorite cake or something, being that close in the beginning forces you to know things about someone else wether ylu want to or not.

Especially since there are indications that they knew he was selling himself to pay against his will... but then you are not sure about that, not with the way they write certain things. And I think that also plays in the hate, the do they don't they, in their knowledge of the depth of things with him selling his body almost against his will.

P.S. OMG, it's long, but I like analyzing texts and movies, videos, and stuff ... and that's not an excuse. Thanks for reading my TED talk ...

I know it may be annoying to read this long as$ paragraph, but if you are wondering what happened, I will try to be as concise as possible (Beforehand, I am sorry if some things don't make 100% sense since I am really tired).
Let's say that H entertainment is the big boss since it owns dream entertainment and dream production (like 54% of stocks) .
(So the structure is this like grandpa (H), father (entertainment) and son (production))
Production (son) wants to become emancipated from the family, and this was possible because Jay sold his stocks to chairman Kim, so now chairman Kim owns it, and Jay did it so that he could pay the inheritance tax for H.
When Production became emancipated, Production could make its own decisions but not over entertainment or H. So when everyone wanted to fire the president they couldn't because the president is from Entertainment (father) and he is still part of the family with H: since since H is the big Kahuna it has to say Yes or No for a definitive answer in Entertainment.


To make it worse for Production (emancipated son), he wanted to prove himself and wanted to make his own movie. He even rushed without reading the fine print and did everything. However, the fine print of the contract between Production and Author says that if something is changed from the book, then they get sued, and since Jay is the owner of the song, Production is fu(ked.
