More proof that alpha x omega will never work out Alpha x omega (alpha uke)
Single Not Ready to Mingle
In my opinion, this is /The Abyss/ of muscular main characters. I originally was like, "Wow! This manhwa is super funny, involves an isekai, a hot looking demon ML, and a muscular MC! I really like this!" I could have never been more wrong. There is sexual assault used as comedy, non-consensual intercourse in like the very first chapters, and even more "sexier" RAPE (drugs/pheromones are involved. Sure, MC enjoyed it. But it's exactly like the fuck or die trope, which is a very dubious situation). Besides the sexual assault used for comedic purposes, it's actually pretty funny. Of course, if you ignore the fact that all of this rape is brushed aside with no repercussions whatsoever. Don't even talk about the plot, either. It's like the moment the MC experienced penetration, he completely forgot his goal of getting back to his normal life and meeting his date. Aesthetics are really important for a romance manhwa. Sure, you can read something about ordinary people falling in love, that's actually really cute. The art in this manhwa, and I say this as an artist myself, needs a lot of work. The anatomy is super cringy, the noses are too big, and there are too many lines used. It gives the art a really cartoonish vibe, and especially when they're naked (which is literally everyone), the bodies look shiny like they are constantly in the shower. Normally, I would have no qualms about this when the plot, romance, characters, etc are really well developed and amazing (e.g. The Dawn of the Dragon, Marcel, etc). But when rape is rampant, no cohesive goal is given, and the supposed humor is reminiscent of a fujoshi in middle school, having bad anatomy, poor rendering, and ugly faces /really/ does not help at all. Another problem with this manhwa is the endgame couple. Remember the cool looking demon ML? Somehow, he's not the endgame ML. It's this stupid, ugly looking blonde TWINK priest. When the entire manhwa has been centered around the demon ML (ffs, he's on the COVER), you would think that the endgame would be him. It's not. Sure, if I were the MC, I also would not fall in love with the demon ML. But I would also not fall in love with anyone in this stupid, fucked up ass world that worships DILDOS. It's actually insane how he just forgets how he has a date that he's had a crush on for a super long time for some rando priest twink in a fujoshi's wet dream. The author needs to remember that they're writing a /romance/ manhwa. If you want to say that the priest and the MC are the endgame main couple, you focus on the /priest/. Not the demon. If I could rate this lower, I would.
That Sexapparition
Holiday
Read on Bato As usual, Potion with the non consensual works… Turn your brain off for this one. The ML/uke (purple hair) falls in love with his rapist (black haired seme). But the sex scenes are so good. Fuckkkkkk look at that o-face. The uke is so damn sexy. If only it weren’t rape.
Charming Scarface
No. No. No. You’re messed up if you like this. No amount of repentance or conversation can erase the fact that he was raped. Fuck no. And fuck the author too. Bitch.
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.
