Jang Gun's Butcher Shop
I was wrong. The translation is adjacent to MTL. My day has been ruined. I’ve pretty much given up hoping this will get a decent translation, too. Shame, since the art style is super cool and the plot actually seems interesting.
Stranger Than Friends
I know a lot of people like Sagold's works but after trying to get through two of them and then this one (a more bearable one imo), I just can't get into it. The main couple has sex every other chapter and then when they have sex it goes on for ten chapters. The conflict is so stupid, the uke is dumb and makes me want to yell at him and the seme is also dumb but even more dumb than the uke. The side couple is so bad I skip the panels they show up in immediately. It's more sexy than romantic, and y'all know that I want my shit romantic. Good for porn, not good for anything else. The uke is super hot, and that creepy ass seme doesn't deserve him. Edit 11/4/23 Haven't even been a bit since I've read it so I'll just say I've dropped it
Rix Vanus
Dropped @ ch65. Three chances was not the charm this time, clearly. The main character (Rix Vanus) has been raped more times than I can count with two hands and the relationship with the male lead (Nuah) has not even begun to develop. The author does nothing to address the assault Rix keeps getting, and although I understand that Nuah is new and doesn’t understand things, at least have him do some goddamn thing other than watch wide eyed while Rix is being forced to blow another guy off. Let’s say all the sexual assault didn’t happen. The relationship between Nuah and Rix is still really weird. Nuah is depicted to be super childish, almost baby-like with an innocence comparable to an infant. He’s the youngest of the spirit guardians or whatever they are, being 60 years old. Rix is 20 years old but acts 40. The author wrote in a special that calculating Nuah’s age in human years, he would actually be YOUNGER THAN RIX BY A LOT. Rix is 20!!! Yeah, Nuah is built as hell, but he acts like a fucking baby. It’s endearing if it weren’t a yaoi. The only thing that slightly makes it better is that Nuah is the Seme. And even then, their relationship is pushing it. TLDR: Rape and pseudo pedophilia.
PASSION
This manhwa is so messed up on so many levels. The plot/story is good but holy shit, gotta be one of the most toxic relationships I'm reading right now. It's gotten to the point where I can't even sympathize with MC because the moment the seme raped him, he should have left immediately. Pretty good though
