idk i fee like there is a story that can be found in how sex is a double edged sword in a dystopian world, where not only are u fullfilling ur natural desires but how there is an increasing pressure for woman to give their bodies for food, "protection", and overall morale. and i put protection im quotes bc what is stopping these men from gangbanging you and then leaving you to fend for yourselves anyway. or doing what ole dude did simply because he liked a girl who was okay w a lil polyamory. and who is gonna help you if u are raped or the dudes dont do their side of the deal? the police?
and in this current chapter, i wonder if author is gonna tackle how cults would become much more prominent and encourage predatory. that bald guy is obviously a quack who gets people's under his wing and has them bend to his fetishes
in general i feel like this anthology could have showcased all the different ways a societal collapse changes the ways we interact with each other when it comes to sex. something more than we become disgusting and horrible
- if jaekyung is to lose i want him to lose because he isnt skilled enough not because of cheating. or at the very least make him lose bc of his jinx (it would be nice to know WHY he has a jinx too)
- i also dont want dan to defect to the other side. they are also trying to use him like jaekyung and what dan needs is to a. get some pride about himself and b. prepare himself for a life without his grandmother, find a life for himself !!
-this is why i HATE the miscommunication trope. SPEAK UP PEOPLE. USE YOUR WORDS.
-fifty chapters in and there isnt even an inkling of jj likes dan. like plot wise we know how these stories go, they gonna end up together, but like there is nothing being shown that jj likes dan and that the feelings dan has for jj are something more than he doesnt want to be alone
-dan being defeated in that scene in this chapter is the only thing that makes sense so far like yes i would be freaking out too if i accidentally injured my client right before his big match
it reminds me of the queen charlotte bridgerton story in which george did not have to get rid of his mental illness to recieve charlotte's affections. being different mentally does bot automatically disqualify you from love. eunchan is overall a good kid. he isnt some psycho killer and he holds great affection for his sisters. im glad he didnt have to continue holding up a mask to recieve his sisters and uke's love.
I like reading stories, bl or otherwise, when both characters are well aware of sex and what that entails. Even if one character is a virgin, and might be nervous, they aren't naive about it. One bc im tired of reading those plot lines. But majbly because a lot of these smutty BLs dip into kinks and bdsmesque stufd and it always comes off a little weird when the majn character has never had sex before and their first time is some real kinky stuff. Like some of those characters gave never even masturbated before. when both characters have experience I feel like it translates better.
yaoi will heal once authors wake up and realize the innocent virgin with experienced top trope is gross and weird!!! i agree with you, it’s offputting when authors make vulnerable people do hardcore stuff and its always done incorrectly too. no safe words or rough handling as a form of communication…
seungrok definitely lost his some of his ruggedness but its not too bad
