No there's no feelings in it, they have uncomfortable sex and only the snake seemed to like it, the bottom was persuaded simply to save his family and was uncomfortable the whole time during, in pain, it was basically rape. The art is good but I feel SUPER bad for the bottom, man's working himself to death paying hospital bills and he feels like his only choice us to lay with this snake to save his only living family member and the shut was awful. No feelings whatsoever it made me want it to END as fast as possible. Simply cause the bottom was uncomfortable and in pain.
Factssss
The storyy has literally only begun and everything that you've pointed out as makiing it uncomfortable, seems to be intentionally put there for that very reason. And i disagree that it's "basically r*pe". Had Guem manipulated or forcefully taken Taesun that night before or after seeing his dream, then 100% SA at it's finest. But even with Taesun's reasons for going through with it, this was consensual. I wouldn't have expected their first time to be like any other BL where, even though its the uke's first time, it's "omg it hurts and i'm in pain, it feels amazing having a rod jammed up my a -hole", now that's unrealistic AF. And most of the time in the scenerio i just mentioned, the bottom will protest, but the seme will continue after claiming "Sorry, *insert name*, I can't stop now i'm at my limit", or some BS along those lines.
This seems to be a first time for both of them, as shown, with Geum lamenting that "this is how humans feel"(something along those lines) and Taesun, innocently expecting the feeling of being naked in front of Geum would be "like the boys locker room". Having read other BLs where it's a straight seme/uke, they usually always compare it to their experiece with a girl, if they aren't literal virgins. This is literaly one of the most realistic depictions i have come across of someone's first time with a stranger, in a BL.
If you don't want to have sex but are being coerced into it to save someone's life that's not exactly consensual. The being uncomfortable is realistic but the whole thing about doing it to save his grandpa's life and not even enjoying it slightly, is icky.
The definition of coercion: "persuade (an unwilling person) to do something by using force or threats"
Nothing was forced and no one was threatened. If Taesun had protested and Geum replied with "you wanna save your grandpa don't you?", then yes. But he didn't. And Geum telling him earlier that there's nothing more the mortal world could do for his grandpa, can't be counted either, cos 1 it was the truth and 2, the doctor said the same thing to Taesun.
Why would he enjoy it?? Why would you expect him to enjoy it? I get what you're getting at/coming from but him enjoying it off the bat would make no logically sense and would only serve to "lighten" the mood for readers such as yourself but not be beneficial for the story itself.
I can see that you read "My secret stalker", did that make you feel icky too? Genuinely asking
A bit yes, also I'm telling my opinion about the story why are you so upset over it?
The threat of his grandpa's death is there also
I'm sorry that my replies came off as upset, was not my intention at all (￣∇￣")
Is thus going to be drawn out where it takes forever for the prince to find out he's abel?
All things considered it does seem like he treats her more like a young sister or at least he's not looking at her as a full on wife yet. It was extremely normal for woman to get married at a very young age for political reasons or just to start having kids since it was believed younger you are the more likely you survived having a kid. Which isn't fully true, you would be able to recover from simple issues but when your THAT young your body is still underdeveloped and small which would be much harder to carry and birth a baby especially a larger healthy one.
It actually wasn’t all that common for VERY young children to get married in the Middle Ages/medieval times. That’s a misconception because a lot of famous high ranking nobles did in fact marry young children and it’s also true that they would typically wait until they became of age ( teen years around 15-17 if they were a young bride / early twenties for a typical noble bride), but when they did marry young kids like her they were talked about like crazy. Most nibbles would NEVER marry off girls younger than 13 unless 1. They didn’t care for the health of their daughter 2. They were desperate enough to give up their daughter. For the lower social classes, Childs marriages were even more uncommon ( although they still took place like it does today). Point is, realistically, he would have been known as a pervert, creep and kid-lover among nobles and the lower classes alike. Comics like this are so gross, spread misinformation, create a false narrative and shouldn’t be defended in anyway cause it excuses predatory behavior such as grooming, inappropriate age gaps ,as well as childs marriages. She would’ve probably never fallen for him if she hadn’t met him young ( since that’s probably how the story will go). Though, that’s just me ranting while I haven’t read a single page of this story cause I know better
As I’m looking at the clothes worn by the mc’s, it looks like they’re probably closer to the renaissance era, which makes this even grosser because in that time period more women slowly began getting married within their early-mid twenties instead of their mid-late teen years since religion was being de-centered and the exploration of self gained popularity
To be fair I wasn't sure on her age, she looked possibly close to 12-13 on the first chapter but the one where they met she looked 10 yea.
I was worried what would happen but I like this level of revenge, also the people saying there should be a trigger warning there IS in the scanlation teams credits you just don't read them do you? I like that haruki has a guardian angel or devil I suppose.
