Cry, or Better Yet, Beg

Ongoing | solche (솔체),banji | 2019 released

Me before spoilers: Holy shit, the art and coloring is PERFECT Me after spoilers: Ah, scapegoat second lead who's obviously way better and HEALTHIER but doesn't get the girl. Of course, the rapey, abusive, two-timer does... do authors get off on angst or what?

The Alpha's Bride

Ongoing | Kaoru Iwamoto, Yukimura Kanae | 2019 released

This story is t r a s h that someone threw glitter on lol. First of all, I love ABO shit - the alpha x omega pairing with their pheromones, heat sex, going feral blah blah is very enticing to me. I also adore this art. Absolutely beautiful character design for the omega, the alpha is hot (if a bit cliche) and all the supporting characters are good looking too. But man does the plot suck a dirty toe. I'll get right down to the problem - shitty character logic, development, and reactions. As the story is now at Ch 17? ish, the plot before it is basically the uke was thought to be a prestigious alpha but turned out to be an omega, falls from grace, meets this prime alpha esque guy, the two hit it off but run into a roadblock when the prestige of the alpha's family bears down on the "questionable" pedigree of the omega in a terribly sexist setting. Unfortunately, this story follows the typical uke/omega has no backbone route and the omega just collapses emotionally and mentally. He doesn't want to fight for his relationship (which is fine imo), but worst he doesn't fight for himself. He decides to go with it, run away, until the alpha gets him. Then, he wants to break up (which is also fine) but finds himself not really wanting to go but not being able to stay. He stays for day after his assault, then reluctantly agrees to leave when a character shows up, but then changes his mind and goes with another. In which case, my eyes rolled to China. If your character can't even make a decision for himself, throw him out jfc. Then the alpha is even worst. His whole personality is "im hot and sexy with personality issues of being cold and asshole-y" and decides to just RAPE the omega for like a whole ass day. He literally displays psychopath behavior and gets PISSED that the uke says he wants to leave instead of consoling him, stopping his (the alpha's) shitty mom, and COMMUNICATING like a NORMAL person. I- The fucking author had the audacity to make it "it's rape but the uke also mentally kinda liked it" absolute BULLSHIT. Don't make your victim emotionally dead, physically traumatized (he really flinches around alphas), but then be all "oh no worries, he loves him so its ok! <3." Seriously, fuck you and fuck that shit. I'm just gonna stick with it to the end to see the dumpster fire through. ALSO DID I MENTION THERES A HUGE PEDO (LITERALLY) AGE GAP BETWEEN THE TWO?? THE ALPHA IS A WHOLE ASS ADULT AND THE FUCKING OMEGA IS A KID - A TEEN K I D. AHHAHAHHAHA

Hosik's story

Complete | Nokchae | 2017 released

Semes is a straight psychopath. This is an unhealthy relationship glossed over as cutesy or whatever because they have kids together (from rape) and the seme is a good looking princely (criminal) dude. He puts tracking devices on the uke without consent, stalks him throughout the whole story, shows up at the uke's (parent's) place with a key he stole and made himself, gets jealous when the uke talks to other guys, looks through the uke's phone without consent, forces the uke to have sex when he doesn't want to, overall forces the uke to do things he doesn't want to (like peeing) and is a controlling, pushy, possessive, manipulative yandere. Did I mention he raped the uke and got him pregnant?
