I don’t even read this story anymore type shit but I checked back in cause none of my fav bls have been updated, I’m so glad Jin finally beat his ass, it’s been long overdue. Most satisfying thing that happened this whole season I’m also at the point where I want Jin to chose himself and leave Matthew in the end, Jin deserves so much better.
Why r yall so weird about everything omg the story clearly isn’t poly Ethan is just fuckin’ around they’re practically family that’s why he feels so comfortable he’s not interested in them sexually
Man, this story started off so cool I was like hell yes I love BDSM I love bl sounds perfect. He quickly became another whiny pathetic bottom and another obsessed psycho top. It’s just boring and played out. Honestly the bottom was way cooler when he was doing actual BDSM with that guy from the first few chapters, I rather them end up together lmao. Whining and ignoring consent does not = BDSM
The removal of the original sir was way too forced by the author. He seemed like a really respectful master but then he magically gets rapey after being beaten?
THISS
YES, fr though it sucks, just for that stupid marysue ml
Y’all…BL is so back. Hot younger top and sexy bitchy older bottom…ugh I can’t even describe how much I adore this. I just love how creative and refreshing this story is, it’s such a new plot for a bl and I love it sooo much. I love he teasing and the slow pacing ugh usually bl is so slutty and they’re fucking by chapter 5. This story is just amazing, no SA, no toxic shit just love and them being cutie pies ugh I love it so much!
Yeah snd actually i felt weird like how is not toxic, no rape and no smut
Something wrong here
Quite refreshing finally a manhwa with no typical scenarios after alot of smut ones
This bl is a hot mess. When I tell you this was my FAVORITE bl because of season 1, I loved the noir environment, the dark themes of the story and the love and history between Matthew and Jin. It was so beautifully written and captivating, I fell in love with this bl but I unfortunately had to stop reading it because of season 2. It went from my favorite to unreadable, between the multiple SA chapters, nothing being resolved plot wise between Matthew and Jin, it seems like the story’s lost the plot a bit and I just can’t get enjoy it the way I used to. It’s disappointing to say the least. These characters deserve sm better.
yeah used to love it so much but now it gives me so much heart attack and anxiety AAAAAA
This story is so insane but also wholesome I just love it I don’t even mind that it’s not an explicit BL the story is just that good
Bro I will be so unbelievably disappointed if the endgame is Jo like I’m sorry Tj loves Ian so much, there’s genuinely nothing Jo could do to outdo Tj’s love for Ian at this point. Like I get the complexity of Ian and TJs relationship but I firmly believe Ian will NEVER be able to love Jo as deeply as he loves TJ. The only way it would make sense is if TJ died & Ian was forced to pick Jo.
Ian never had familial love so it’s only natural he’d be attached to the first one he saw as family. And I don’t think TJ dying would help…I don’t want that.
I don’t want it either but I don’t see how Ian could possibly pic Jo otherwise. I don’t think the love between Ian and TJ is familial, it might have started off that way but it’s clear it’s become something more.
Unfortunately that’s how TJ says and Ian. They are both being vague with the definition of their relationship, and Ian wants more than that, he wants to be lovers (not sexual kind).
They been fighting for like 8000 years at this point, no showering in sight. Ik they all stank like a mf smh
I’m sorry yall but Jo is mad weird for doing what he did in ch 52. Fucking Ian after he passed out and nutting on his face then trying to act all sweet next chapter? Bffr. We know Ian is a little slutty but the smut with him & Jo lowk rubs me the wrong way sometimes idk. Jo doesn’t know Ian well enough to treat him the way he does during sex. Whereas TJ & Ian have known each other pretty much their whole lives so it makes sense they’d b a little more rough/test each others boundaries. I just don’t trust Jo lowk…he puts on this sweet boy act but there’s def something under the surface
Jo never put on a sweet boy act, If he's sweet its because he is, like cooking and fixing house appliances for Ian. But an act? No. Even he told Ian he's not innocent and Ian took notice of it as well. Both know there's something deeper than that and both don't realize how dark it can get. There's no huge ulterior motive most of yall are trying to paint him as.
Agreed. Nothing about his character has said anything about him faking being nice. Like, y’all know that nice people just exist, right? Also, ofc you’d want to be extra nice to the person you’re smitten with… now, I’m skeeved about the whole facial thing too, but I think both him making a bad dubcon decision and him having a kind personality can exist simultaneously.
Yesss agreeing SOOO much on the last line. Two things can coexist simultaneously but most readers thinks is black vs white. It's more like the ying yang here, there can be good in bad and bad in good. Jo can have conflictions but also be kind at the same time. An example is in this chapter too, after the dubious decision Jo did aftercare for Ian.
Neither of y’all understand what I was really saying. I’m not saying Jo is some evil villian with ulterior motives, but that his character is capable of being darker than people realize. I think that he has another dark side to him that is more similar to TJ then were being led to believe and I think that’s the twist. My literal point is that there are two things existing at once within him but we’ve only ever seen his “sweet side” up until that chapter. I think it’s a preview of the other side of him.
Your comment, mainly the last line did not indicate they could coexist. The reply you replied to is me talking about the general audience who can't grasp the idea since there's many comments who have implied they can't coexist.
His intentions were fake from the very beginning. He told Ian he wanted to just be friends but it was obviously a lie, and cmiiw but he said himself that he's not as nice as ian thinks and that his feeling are not pure and are dangerous, he realized he was getting obsessive and possessive over Ian. Like this chapter is literally showing him meddling in something that does not concern him and also keeping that bandage longer just to gain pity points from Ian so that he could feel guilty how is he not putting on an act?
Clock it. People so badly want to paint this as good guy vs bad guy and TJ is the bad guy Jo is the good guy but it’s more complicated than that. No one is really “good or bad” in this story, their motives are all so complicated and their actions are all somewhat self-motivated, but I think Ian and TJ’s relationship is the most selfless. They’ve loved each other for so long, TJ literally left town to keep Ian safe and Ian said he’d kill the entire gang for TJ. They’re devoted to each other beyond the physical shit & there’s just not enough history between Jo and Ian for them to be there yet if ever.
Oh TJian are deff very selfless when it comes to each other, the couples are still very imbalanced even now, i don't see how Jo can ever compete with what Tj and Ian have lived ,gone through and done for each other since their childhood.
His intentions were never fake, he did want be friends then after caught feelings. He then said they can be just (aka try be) friends because Ian doesn't want a relationship. Jo and Ian know Jo has feelings. How is that even fake intentions when Ian himself know Jo has a crush on him when Jo told him lol the rest of your comment has no point.
+ has no point when Jo still doesn't put on sweet act when he actually kind despite intervening. It's not an act and him being kind and but also having side that want Ian attention doesn't mean he has real malicious intents most are painting him as
Okay guys I agree I usually hate non con in BL but this is the ONE TIME I genuinely think it fits in the plot and makes sense and it’s not just there as like a fetish. The reason he’s doing that is because he wants the mc to hate him now. He thinks their relationship can never go back to what it was and he feel like he already traumatized him enough (kidnapping, handcuffs, making him witness a murder). ML (whose name we don’t know) hates himself for letting himself get so close to the mc, so he wants the mc to hate him too. Not defending these types of scenes, trust me I’ve dropped some of my favorite bls because of r*pe scenes like this, but I genuinely don’t think the author put it in just for fetish content like a lot of bl authors do.
yeah i get it the reason he’s doing that is because he wants the mc to hate him, but the mc already hates him enough after witnessing him beating up a guy, revealing that ml is a loanshark himself, same as those bad guys from his childhood. WHY RAPE HIM??? i can think of a possible reason: it adds to the "angst" of the story. using rape as an element to the plot screams bad writing to me TT but yep it's just sad.
Yeah unfortunately a lot of BL authors do that but I have genuine love for this story so I’m not gonna drop it, I’m hoping he stops midway and realizes what he’s doing or something :/
