While fiction does not equal real life people take inspiration from the stories they read and apply it to their daily lives. Just because one person is wise enough to know right from wrong that doesn't mean the next person is. I always see the argument "fiction isn't reality" when it pertains to grooming, incest, and other types of weird sexual things. I find it to be a poor argument when each person is completely different in their way of thinking. There have been people who use the excuse of fiction (like star wars, call of duty, other video games and movies) to incite violence, why would sexual things be any different?

When showing these things in fiction (grooming, rape, incest, etc) and it's portrayed as a bad thing that's one thing, but when it's portrayed as insignificant or something that could be covered with a band-aid it CAN have negative consequences. It is said that the way stories are told is a good indication of how one's environment and/or society is like. It's a good indicator of how that time's morals and ways of thinking are portrayed. A lot of people end up becoming numb to the different topics.

It genuinely freaked me out when louie (the mom) said that he could've seen this coming from the get-go, that Yullur was extremely attached to him from an early age. I don't think people understand what grooming is fully. Grooming could be favoritism, building trust, etc etc. It's a broad spectrum that changes the child's (or the one being manipulated) perception of them. While it is a very thin line that Yullur was walking on, it's iffy telling if it was fully grooming.... But the relationship is wrong in general. Regardless, it's typical in BL like this. I'm surprised I even stuck with this story, but I read Louie's part and thought this would be fun.

I'm sure whatever the sword supreme is upset about is justified... at least I hope. But being so obsessed with someone else and their relationships is insane. I'm sure they dated in the past or were married since they bicker like an old married couple, he probably said or did something stupid when drunk so it made her not want to be around alcohol since it reminds her of the past... But come on, at your big age being so consumed by rage over someone you could just ignore is wild.

    Eyy, in their defense, they don't really life in the best environment to tell which right and wrong. Their main job is to fight kill and giggling (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

    Too much messy people around them to be able to learn about such a simple feeling as move on (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜

    On the other note, isnt that what MC tried to do, albeit in a wrong way, to makes them confront and prossesing their feeling till it become clear? ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

    Anyway, dayum. Flower sword is so pretty when shes fight so if they really had some past, u fumbling the baddie grandpa (︶︿︶)

    That is very true, I can't argue with that!!! But she is so gorgeous, like bruh even if she aged naturally without age regressing I'm sure she'd be stunning. I wouldn't be surprised if the grandpa gave her some sort of complex.

    Ngl flower demon supreme lady is kinda pathetic. She even wanted to assassinate the mc in sleep just cause she lost

    She acts like she's prideful yet she's so insecure that she can't handle one loss. I mean, when they were fighting it was fun but she's a weird character for sure. Idk if I like her or not honestly. I feel like even though she's so old she's immature, but then again maturity isn't something everyone goes through just because they get older. I feel like there's definitely a somewhat decent reason she's a pain in the ass, but it's probably not enough to justify her prudence.

I feel like a lot of times people forget idols and celebrities are people too, they eat and shit just like everyone else so ofc they'll want to have a relationship too. I don't understand people who put idols on a pedestal when behind the scenes they could be the freakiest person ever, and not in a good way. I used to be into KPOP, and sometimes i'll listen to some 2010's KPOP but what really ruined it for me were the fans. There are so many horror stories with KPOP stans that freaked m out, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the idols feared for their lives.

It's good to be passionate about something, but when passion turns into obsession that's when it becomes bad and unhealthy not only for you but the people around you.

From adorable to straight up sexy is insane, a lot of times even if the stories are decent the smut either feels forced or out of place, but you can feel the love they have for each other. Like bruh I want to feel unconditional love like that too!

People need to know that even if he isn't a teenager (although I'm 90% sure he is) he can still be groomed. Those who are in any way, shape, or form vulnerable can be groomed. Someone who is shy, someone who just recently lost something major to them (like a person or a pet or their house etc etc), someone who has mental disorders/illnesses, someone who has physical disorders/illnesses, someone who is going through a tough time, someone who has a hard time opening up to others, old people and so on and so forth.

Anybody could be groomed depending on the situation; usually the groomers tend to be very charismatic people, people with higher positions/more money, people with hidden motives. Grooming can be online, it's not just an in person thing. Usually the groomer is manipulative, grooming is such a slow and gradual process that the groomed individual doesn't fully understand what happened to them until after everything. It is 10x easier to identify when someone is being groomed from an outside perspective than it is for the individual being groomed, and that is because it's being directed towards them. Most of the time the groomers try to isolate the groomed individual or make them dependent on them in some shape or form.

I bring this up because what is happening right now is 100% grooming, Masaki has given a bad vibe from the get-go. He's actually scary, not only did he force himself into Suguru's life but he's also manipulating Suguru's emotions so drastically that it's causing him to get angry and confused. A lot of the time groomed individuals end up feeling angry, confused, and panicky randomly and they usually don't understand why. It's so sad, it makes me feel so empathetic towards Suguru. The only reason I'm really reading this is for him, as I want to see where he ends up. I hope he's happy at the very least.

    Holy @#$%&!
    I haven’t read this particular story, but your breakdown reminded me of another manga I’ve read where MCs grandma somehow promised him to some god and when he goes back to his hometown he meets said god who confesses that he’s come to make him his “wife”. And when MC naturally objects and tries to leave the god literally told him “sorry, I can’t let you leave” and states living with him. The first time I read it I didn’t think much of it, I actually thought it was cute but the more I thought about it the more uncomfortable I felt because of course MC eventually falls for the god’s charms, but I feel like he never had a chance. Like the god just pestered him until his walls came down. It may not be the same dynamics in this story, but I was reminded of it and how messed up I think the situation is.

    Yes! He was forced into that relationship and felt like there was no choice, the dynamic is a little different but it's a similar gist! It's cute when you just read it with a light heart, but in retrospect it's terrifying. Imagine not being able to choose who you marry, being forced into a relationship and forced to go along with both them and your family's wishes. This is something a lot of people actually have to go through, but imagine not being able to leave on top of that? Scary

    LOL thank you! I love going on tangents XD But I'm thinking so!!! Especially with how confused and irritated Suguru is. It's sad tbh

Either there's going to be angst or we're all so traumatized from BL that we're constantly on edge. I do feel like they both have secrets (the teacher gives me more sketchy vibes than Guwon for some reason) but idk... I feel like if there's angst it's not going to be with each other but it'll have to do with their pasts haunting them. IDK MAN

I LOVE THAT IT'S CANON THAT HE HAS A HUGE DICK He's such a dumbass I love him

ThotChocolate March 2, 2025 5:13 am

I knew from the get-go that Maximo was obsessed... But that chapter where he was throwing a hissy fit in his room and was like "he's mine" freaked me tf out, usually I'm like "oh ofc they're like this" but based on the little hints here and there of the past life it made my skin crawl.

    Hokipoki March 2, 2025 6:38 am

    Yeah he’s sooo creepy. Especially since now you know he killed the prince because “if he couldn’t have home no one could”. Like he’s was probably so delusional that he thought he had been betrayed. I just can’t wait till he gets his ass kicked and MC gets some well deserved revenge/closure!

ThotChocolate February 27, 2025 1:37 pm

Sex scenes are going to be fucking wild, I can't wait

ThotChocolate February 22, 2025 8:38 pm

I read this all at once, this is so insanely good. You can't help but love the MC
