grumpyface:]'s manga / #Worth reread(576)

The ML is HOT (added to my Virgo Bias)(I don’t usually have any feelings for cross-dressing characters, but I found this ML had other traits that were more merit able and overshadowed that)

I much prefer the second couple. The author did a much better job creating chemistry and compatibility as well as couple growth for the following pair.

I can’t give it five stars because it isn’t exactly a loving story (that one star reserved for fulfilling my preference in that area). As for sexiness and psychology, it’s definitely a five-star. Narrative for a one-shot is top notch. Often, other porny one shots fail to create a multidimensional atmosphere with the rushed pacing and dialogue lacking in creativity - which this one shot accomplished in flying colors compared to the aforementioned. Art is great and distinctive of this artist. No mistaking this for subpar bdsm - if anything, something so short shouldn’t be so good but it is! Hot.

Seme is sus? Just because you like someone doesn’t mean that you can ignore their feelings and do what you want. Covering the MC with his pheromones without consent, not respecting MC’s request and takes advantage of their friendship to manipulate MC into doing what ML wants… that’s low and covert. He might be handsome and I love the line art, but I definitely am triggered by the seme’s borderline abusive actions. I’ve come from an emotionally abusive environment that had been covered up for years - even to this day I can’t believe I spent all those years letting myself be gaslit and manipulated just because it was all out of “love”. Update: omg don’t go there man. It has to be consensual, you jerk. Don’t give him ANY pills he doesn’t know about and consent to taking. DON’T MANIPULATE HIM EITHER! (Update) the ml is a possible psycho. Btw I don’t like the fact that MC and ML are looking down on being beta somehow. ML wishes MC was an omega instead of a beta - which is a major red flag to me; you should love him as he is; you only want him to be an omega because you want him to submit to you (toxic top at its worst!). Also beta mc seem to miss out on this (???)(where is the morals and logic in this manga

This is not a story for the weak. It escalated very fast from the start. The power dynamics shifting is unpredictable at the twists and turns. There are multiple body of powers, and it’s a unique setting. Plus there’s a deadly virus going around. The characters are all immoral so there’s no one to cheer for. I can barely cheer for the MC because he also has questionable character (the standard for right and wrong for him is unclear). The only bright side is that he doesn’t have the innate desire to hurt anybody, although he has an inferiority complex that lead to manslaughter. He’s also indecisive when it comes to tying up loose ends, which leads to more complications later on. One phrase for this WEBTOON: I don’t know where this is going.
