madd's manga / #The seme sucks ass(76)

I can’t see why people would like this one. I feel like their relationship is just too toxic for me to the point the romance pretty much came out of nowhere. We hardly ever see Woojin act like he’s in love with Taemin despite him ‘’being head over heels’. He never acts slightly awkward, blushes, nothing, all we see him do is just force himself on Taemin. Him leaving to get stronger for Taemin was kind of… weird, but I guess he was a kid so maybe that mentatilty makes sense to a 9 year old or sumthin, but idk why he didn’t just yk go to get physically stronger, that makes more sense. He’s honestly just a dirtbag and never really changes, Taemin is just expected to change to adjust for Woojin’s ‘needs’ and abrasive personality insteaed of Woojin adjusting for Taemin cuz he’s yk, supposed to be in love with him. I get the backstory of the both them being born to abusive homes and how they ended up, only for both of them to end up in abusive home again, but I felt like the story should’ve focused on that, because that was where it was strongest. Woojin could have been a quiet, brooding teen but he shouldn’t take it out on people, cuz he just looks like an a**hole for no reason. His backstory should only explain what he does not excuse it. (Notice how these authors love to make these terrible characters and then randomly drope sad backstory lore after they do deplorable acts to try and make up for it.) I get that Taemin slightly liked him, but there’s that and just having no backbone. Which honestly Woojin a worst person cuz he takes advantage of how Taemin has never truly experienced affection or romatinc attention, and intimacy to catch him off guard. And after they get together Taemin just goes deep into tsundere mode and I hate tsunderes I’m sorry. Pretty much all the characters are all insufferable or one-note, the only ones I kind of enjoyed is Minjun and Hoon although their weird master/slave dynamic they have is just… no. Anyway I feel like the more I talk about this the less I like it. I was right in dropping it but I’m glad I actually know it’s trash now. 3 out of 10 It only gets an extra point because the art is absolutley gorgeous and they have some beautiful dynamic scenes.

There is nothing worse than running into a comic that is just boring af. One thing about some BL even though 90% of it is toxic, unhealthy SA relationships it’s at least mildly interesting. This one is just like nothing. It’s ironic how this comic is about baseball, and I felt the same about reading this comic, the same way I feel about watching a baseball game. I don’t even really like sports romance BL, but I was willing to give this a try because I wanted to see why it was so popular, but I don’t get it. Like what did yall like about this? All the characters are boring, annoying, insufferable, or are just there to serve the plot. The hoobae is annoying and doesn’t even really serve a purpose to the plot. The seme is just mean to everyone for no reason, like he doesn’t even have a seriously ‘sad backstory tm’ to make up for it he just sucks. And I get that beauty is subjective, but like, he looks just a normal dude on the street. He looks like the side character or extra I’ve seen in every BL I’ve read, he’s just not attractive… at all, it doesn’t make sense for him to be popular at all. How does even have friends, how do his teammates tolerate him. If they lose he takes it out on everyone, if they win he’s still mad and takes it out on everyone. He literally smashed the MC into a wall cuz he couldn’t bother to communicate his feelings, like who does that. I honestly feel like that’s an abusive relationship waiting to happen, cuz god forbid the seme encounters a minor inconvience and decides lets ignore my bae all day for no reason or apesh*t on him and not explain anything. Anyways I hate this, I regret wasting my time on this. The art is servicable, it’s a nice style but all the character designs look plain af, so it’s just boring to look at. Just take my 1 out of 10. Honestly I don’t even want to put this in my already read. This was the most nothing burger crap I’ve read in my life.

So the bird basically watched the mc from the moment he was born and everyone in his family grow and then decided to SA him instead of explaining the situation about the snake. Okiii… •-•

Read this when I was younger. Thought it was a masterpiece. 13yo me was so f*cking stupid istg. It’s low-key fine if you ignore the first two chapters, but t still this is way more terrible than I remembered.
