It’s so drastically different from the brother’s plot who is law abiding and not a rapist. In BL usually things like rape is glossed over and it’s easier to suspend your belief, but if you’re going to give your character real trauma from something terrible it’s very hard for readers to root for the person who did it to them, and the romance falls apart
yes exactly!! so many rape scenes are flat out unnecessary that it's easy to forget it even happened bc there are usually no long term consequences. authors assume we'll always forgive and forget with a good chase arc. but when a character is literally traumatized and developes a phobia directly due to rape then how do you expect us to move on from that??
Comments were saying that it seemed like the seme didn’t even consider it rape from the raws they looked at, which is even worse. Their previous sexual encounters were very sensual and the rape was very obviously different from that. It’s very disappointing, I’m still gonna read it but I would be curious (although he won’t get chosen) if the second ml parallels (being a gopher) are to help huijae get over that trauma. I would like to see a bl handle this sort of topic seriously
He’s too forceful. Inhwee looks exhausted. Nothing feels resolved at all and there’s no difference in behavior really, the cycle continues
Hate when there’s a cute girl in BL and she doesn’t get a gf
I was kinda hoping that he’d go for the dark haired one that he’s actually friends with
I’m actually so upset this has no official physical English release bc I would buy it in a heartbeat
I love that even with the “wholesome” look of the title we get Bam! Crippling debt and Suicide attempt!
I’ve suspended all rational thought for this story so I think it’s cute that deep (deep deep) down it seems that Asha also like Kiel back and wants to do something nice for him
For the love of god what does his tattoo say??
Hopefully I'm wrong... But it looks like 'Van" something to me and in the 3 photos of him as an influencer the caption said "Van H".... I assume it's the brand he owns/works for ... Ugleigh but it's nearly as bad as the cheetah leg of the mc of When the yakuza falls in love
Not nearly*
