Rating 4.5/5 Tropes: -otaku seme -awkward seme -loser seme -nerdy seme -emotional seme -manly uke -fragile seme -friends to sex friends to lovers Kinks: -non-con -nipple play -begging I'm pretty sure the people in he comments didn't actually finish the story, which I don't blame them, it defenitly looked like it was taking a bad turn. But what makes this story different is that is RECOGNIZES, ACKNOWLAGES, and LEARN FROM the rape. The circumstances are different too, hiro made his own decision to forgive taka. Yes, taka raped hiro. But considering that halfway through, hiro liked it and relaized he loved him, it was up to him at that point to forgive the rape or not. It's not as if taka raped a random dude on the street either, and it's not like hiro hated the idea of having sex with taka, he just was surprised and not ready. To him, it was unforgivable, but he was willing to look past it. I would too honestly, hell, even my parents have. It was rape, yes, but the characters acknowaldged that it was rape when most yaois don't, and repeat how awful it was for taka to do that. Even more, taka was very very apologetic and felt horrible about what he did, and he ended up learning and being more weary in the future. Their second time doing it he made sure to ask consent along the way. Whats bad is when yaoi romaticizes rape. This manga takes it for what it is. Never once was it implied that the rape was ok. Hiro even said that raping him was absolutley unforgivable, but he was in love with taka, and would like to be with him. I also think taka is a very interesting character. It was a bold choice and a good one to have him not be able to properly convey his feelings when hiro first confessed. i really enjoyed this :)
Epitaph (Perfume)
woah. just. woah. my god. Tropes: -small/short seme x tall buff uke -sex slave -master x pet My god. This left an actual pit in my stomach. Im quite conflicted to be honest. Becuase normally I find it amazing when a manga manages to do that, but for some reason I don't like it this time. So I'm debating putting it in my favs or not. I don't think I will because I don't want to read this again. But I don't want to forget about it either.... It's a bit too good. Left too much of a major impact- It's an incredible story, insanely good psychological. No plot points were left out, and although the whole concept was pretty bizarre, I think it was meant to be that way. I mean, come on. Who fucks their dads sex slave??? I honestly didn't expect almost everyone to die. I didn't expect such a miserable ending. The last few chapters honestly gave me a headache, that's how insane they were. I honestly think the side couple is a bit more interesting than the main one. I mean, miran??? Dude- he's like next level fucked up, I'm lowkey obsessed. And Jack is equally as fucked up, but in a much more discreate way. I feel bad for Lou, because he was never that fucked up, that is, until Caleb died. Then everything went out the window. I feel like Finn is the only one still in a stable mind somehow. Mind boggleing, fucked up, anxiety inducing. All the best traits of a psychological horror. I actually originally wanted to read this because I love masculine tall buff uke x feminine short small seme, but my god it's so much more than that. I feel unhappy because I didn't get the ending I wanted. I liked stalkers game a bit more I think, because while it still left a pit, it was a least an ending I could be content with. This just makes me sad. But that's what a psycolhocal is supposed to do

This is my favorite manhwa of all time. I’ve been following since chapter 20 and it keeps getting better and better! It’s EXACTLY my taste! The only thing that is different from being my 100% ideal manhwa was if it was puppy play instead of kitty play BUT kitty makes a lot more sense for the characters, and the fact there is any pet play is more than enough anyway! It’s got beefy manly tall tan gap moe protective yet super submissive mega masochist uke x shorter thinner pale pretty femme rich possessive cute handsome dominant mega sadist seme! Their dynamic is literally my favorite of all time! As for the plot, it’s also perfect! There is a perfect balance of plot and smut, and it’s one of the very few stories that I don’t skip any boring parts, because there are no boring parts! The story is consistent and makes sense, with new parts being added in smoothly in a way that doesn’t disrupt the previous plot. The main couple have in depth character development and go through ups and downs together. It is a bit psychological as well, because we get to see hwayoungs inner thoughts during play and how he thinks as a super sadist. It’s off not 100% realistic, but it is very accurate in terms of how bdsm actually goes! Preparation, contracts, doctors, aftercare, etc are all things many bdsm manhwa leave out, but you can tell this author has done research! I see some people criticizing hwayougns character, but like- he is supposed to be an asshole. It’s more realistic to have a character have a major flaw, and even better the story is AWARE of this flaw, and doesn’t act like there is no issue with his attitude. This isn’t a fluff story, despite having lots of cute domestic fluffy moments, so idk why people are saying its bad because the main character has some problems. He needs problems in order to have character development. And for the people saying it’s getting boring, I disagree. Yes, the gambling isn’t the most interesting arc yet, but that’s not supposed to be the main drama. It simply allows for the main drama to take place, being the relationship between sungjoo and gyuwon. Finally, this has to be my favorite art style ever! It’s very pretty and never awkward, with all the anatomy and designs looking correct and clean!
