@simigang Correcting something. Dan is madly in luv with jjk, so saying he is not anymore is... making me raise my eyebrows. You guys need to understand that, this stupidd uke never questions Jjk's shît, AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT AHAHAHAHA so the word "madly" here is so appropriate. His depression is due to (yeah yeah oh cmon the granny pffft but) mostly due to him thinking about the impossible love between him and jjk, him not doing a gr8 job to please seme. Jjk never gave this much attention to someone proves a lot of things yeah, but don't you thing the same thing goes for Dan too? Do you thing he would go this far if not for love? Now replace jjk with that doctor and ...
PS : Making this topic obviously cause I can't respond to simigang's topic but dont even know who u are brch, I like how everyone here likes to block me ꈍ◡ꈍ
(Didn't read the novel) Just knowing the authors and their previous works, I decided to read and give them a chance, I knew where this was going at chapter 3-4 so I stopped there (thought maybe coming back, this still can charm me).
Today, I just scrolled to see what's new and there it is! I found it! My limits. No matter what uke did bad/wrong, this is too excessive. With this I know, I won't continue to read. How am I supposed to ship them or wait for them to end up together after that ? (I loved Sadistic Beauty (bl) where MC mmh didn't really fall in love with the seme, but at least seme did love him and never allowed ANYBODY to touch him. Conclusion hard to swallow but still)...
I think this is not to the liking of everybody, but some of y'all love this thing which I respect... I guess I'm still a kid then (with my +30) searching for forgiveness and love between these tortured souls.
In reality I would kill 95% of both the semes and ukes. But in the fictional world of mangas, I’m eating this shit up like I starving person sitting in front of the finest filet mignon. It’s definitely a me problem.
Yasshit x Toono? Where the fk is this story going. Reminds me of the bl like ntr I wrote 10 years ago...
Seeing people lose their minds in the comments after every chapter update because of a fictional character will forever be the funniest.
This is so sad. Did you guys noticed his NORMAL ears? Coliflower ears when?
Yo, now ppl block bc you just wanna understand them. No, insults, no judgment, just engaging woth a topic you started dude @snowpea You wish I was mad, truth is you just ran out of vocabulary. Still avoiding to respond to my main comment https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/19930032/?cid=19930251#respond
@OMEGA you blocked me with no reason and without letting me explain the obvious :
Your logic is embarrassingly bad. Liking a fictional story that contains harmful acts does not mean someone supports those acts in real life. That's the difference between fiction and reality, the ability to explore difficult, dark, or even disturbing scenarios in a safe, imaginary space without endorsing them outside of it.
Fiction is not reality, if you can’t separate the two, that’s your problem. Stop pretending moral superiority when you can’t even form a coherent argument...
Where tf are the means comments? Why the hypocrites hiding now? I mean y’all hated him for years...

I’m not even a Jaekyung stan, but the sheer volume of bad-faith hate made me realize: many of you genuinely lack the emotional and social intelligence to engage with traumatized characters. You don’t understand pattern recognition, emotional regulation, or how people develop under systems of reward and punishment. You’d make terrible writers and even worse therapists.
Jaekyung is a textbook case of someone shaped by emotional suppression and a society that weaponizes anger and punishes vulnerability. He is emotionally stunted because that’s what kept him alive. His mother (whom we know he reveres) taught him that survival is an individual project, and society rewarded him for aggression and self-preservation. She showed him that putting yourself first is a matter of SURVIVAL. So now, he acts instinctively.
He has PTSD and operates on a fight-or-flight reflex. He doesn’t want to hurt others, but he does, because he’s triggered. He’s in denial about his trauma and his emotions, and we know that because his body, his health, is betraying what’s buried beneath the surface. Jaekyung and Dan’s backstories are KEY to understanding this story.
Jaekyung is subject to violent outbursts because he doesn’t know how to regulate his emotions. His proclivity for violence is clearly exploited by the sport he practices. He’s not “romanticized.” He’s written authentically. You’re just not equipped to process morally complex characters. His violence is disturbing because it’s meant to be. But it’s also symptomatic of trauma, masculinity, mental health in sports and more.
There was so much space for rich, meaningful conversation. Instead, we get the same shallow takes:
“JJK is toxic,”
“JJK is abusive”
“I don’t like traumatized people acting like traumatized people.”
What are you even reading for?
And while we’re moralizing: Dan literally raped Jaekyung in one chapter. He got him drunk (he admits it), ignored signs of disorientation, and took advantage of him while he was clearly incapable of informed consent. The next day, Jaekyung didn’t even remember. Dan’s internal monologue during that scene? "He's a like a completely different person"
“If he’s in the mood to indulge me today, I might as well…”
But you skipped right over that because it didn’t fit your narrative.
A gentle reminder: personality is moderately hereditary. And before you say, “Well, I was abused and didn’t become an abuser,” understand that gene expression varies based on experience.
Studies show personality is largely shaped in childhood. You’re probably not abusive because you weren’t rewarded for hostility, you were rewarded for empathy and cooperation. You likely have close friendships, emotional safety, and support. That’s called survivor bias. It’s easier to believe you “turned out right” through merit, rather than admit that fate or your environment was simply kinder to you.
It’s hard for you to admit that you were luckier than Jaekyung because you think his wealth and celebrity (which you envy) make him “better” than you. YET Mingwa clearly demonstrates that money is of relative importance to one's happiness. And you missed that entirely.
Some of you even compared Jaekyung to Hitler. Others wished violence on his 6-year-old self. All while pretending to care about abuse victims.
Let’s be honest: you’re not outraged on principle. You’re just angry because the character makes you uncomfortable. And instead of sitting with that discomfort, you lash out.
Meanwhile, the people who actually understand this story keep coming back because the narrative invites complexity. We’re still mid-story, and yet some of you are already delivering final verdicts with half the picture.
Kim Dan’s arc is just as important. His character speaks directly to cultural expectations, Confucian values, trauma response, and moral ambiguity. But you’re too busy policing fictional characters to recognize the larger social commentary.
And when you finally get off your moral high horse, ask yourself:
Why are you so comfortable hating Jaekyung?
When you say “He has everything!” to pretend you’re not punching down, you’re projecting.
And frankly, you might be more manipulative than him, because at least his intentions are shaped by survival, not self-righteousness.
And let’s be honest: most of you aren’t here because you care about real-world harm or survivors. You’re here because criticizing this character gives you a sense of moral superiority. You weaponize buzzwords and outrage, but there’s no follow-through; no effort to support real causes, no understanding of the complexity you're so quick to judge.
It's performative, plain and simple.
Meanwhile, that same energy could’ve been directed toward a deeper reading, toward understanding what this story actually offers. Instead, you flatten it with judgment, and in doing so, you undermine the story’s ability to reach people who might actually see themselves in it.
Just realized Dan had a better childhood than him actually
