somali77's manga / #emotional blackmail(1)

From Points of Three

Complete | White Eared | 2017 released

Ten chapters in and I absolutely didn´t like it so far. While I apprecciate that the story is told in an interesting way and all characters seem to have their secrets, they are just not likeable for me. The "actor" is an absolute creep, and not because of the bdsm- scenes with his play partner: he absolutely coaxes, manipulates and blackmails the filmer guy "out of scene" (supposedly) to slowly but surely do anything he says. He´s constantly crossing limits and spreading his narcissistic personality quickly all over the private life of the filmer who easily falls victim for it since he also seems to have a secret crush on him. I don´t really know yet what business the play partner has being with the actor guy, but so far, except for the main character maybe who seems just like someone who´d stumble into a shitty situation and don´t really know how to get themselves out again, all other characters inside of the (so far quite forced) "threesome" are just very unlikable for me. Their personalities are obnoxious, emotionally and psychologically exhausting, and I´m just getting angry at how super pushy, self centered and predatory the actor guy behaves and gets away with. They have a major consent issue here... it´s sexual harrassment to coerce the filmer guy against previous negotiations and without further warnings to take part in their games, so... nah, I don´t like it at all.
