victor's manga / #unhealthy relationship(13)

ok. such mixed feelings about this story when i first read it i immediately dropped it cuz of the rape and manipulation,, but after a while i decided to check out what happened. safe to say i’m impressed that the ml feels sympathy for what he did, i’m glad the mc doesn’t forgive him for the rape and everything else but after reading so many shitty manhwas i’m glad there’s some character growth from the ml. however, i’m not a fan of the pregnancy, mc can’t even support his brother in a safe environment now he’s pregnant? not the best for any of the characters imo. if they’re gonna have a child, at least show some growth between the two main characters. gotta say the art and character design is beautiful though!! muehrhe my guilty pleasure story TAEJU IN HIS GREEN FLAG ERA LETS MF GOOOOOO!!! wahhhh QQ,, taeju is committed COMMITTED !! not even smashing when he’s horny-? is this the same character?? stay committed taeju and you might just be a new flag the new chs r giving me grey hairs, please let me see my domestic babies be happy again w eunyoung :(( taeju truly loves u eunhyun, he’s agrixbdkjj i can’t wait until everything is cleared up i want to see their smiles again :( let eunyoung see his big brother again pleaseee they both must be so worried,, meow crying.. AAAA SICH A ROLLERCOASTER!! rereading now i can REALLY tell that euja planned majority of this story before actually starting and i adore her for that. it’s just,, so good? i’ve reread this about 5ish times now? i’m so glad i gave it another read before dropping it completely because of how taeju was in the beginning. and man, does it really make u feel for euihyun bro. euja is great at making u feel his inner dilemma, especially when he sat and waited for taejus sex all day, and when he thought he was loose. and the,, the flashbacks of when euihyun was a little baby meow meow, he’s truly giving euiyoung a life that he never got to have. he’s so strong <33 i adore u euihyun, i hope you are gifted with happiness in the future chaps. speaking of happiness i felt sm for the neighbor, just something about him always being there and being used but being fine with it broke my heart so much. A lot of times in stories with unrequited love the main character typically has already a good love interest so the unrequited love doesn’t hit as hard because the main character is already happy with the current love interest. but in this case euihyun unhappy borderline I’d say abused and so the neighbor being there for him really impacted me because he was there when no one else was. and the quote where euihyun talks about even imagining how it would be with him. Makes me so sad in ultimate universe they’re together and happy. euja is just so incredibly talented at storytelling, it’s genuinely amazing. i’d recommend this manhwa to everyone if the sa scenes never happened TT.. she’s just so great with literature, ESPECIALLY “show don’t tell” like when taeju was draining the pool, when it was showing scenes of euihyun starting to becoming more affectionate once he was pregnant and taeju thinking it was only because he was pregnant, the darkness surrounding taeju when he’s having a panic attack while euihyun looks at the ocean, showing they’re both completely in two different emotional states ,, and the scene in ch 96 when euihyuns darkness aka depression and self hatred wasn’t enough for taeju, the utter self hatred taeju was feeling through the way he was reacting to everything, realizing everything, even the conception was entirely his fault. GOSH. and the way us readers knew the entire hiatus of what? 6 months? so we were WAITING for that reveal, getting emotionally attached to the little bubble, only for us to learn through the devastating news along w taeju and euihyun.. and all while this is going on euiyoung is freaking out and stressed because the people he loves are being hurt. and ARGHDNSIDNSK the scene where euiyoung grabs taejus hand in ch 95 before euihyun does QQ bby wasn’t really showing with his affection towards taeju so it’s sooo im so sad i just wanted to see them all be happy in these last chaps TT i’m really excited and anticipating for what’ll happen next.. im hoping a good ending and honestly this is probably one of the best redemption arcs, where ml is regretful of his actions BEFORE he realizes how truly of an impact there was,, don’t even get me started on the miscarriage too,, i know it was only a lump of cells at that point, a couple weeks old i believe ? but man,, im back and forth from saying it was from the best because it wasn’t conceived consensually and i want them to progress more before anything, but at the same time, they’re making so much progress and this will only cause some strain between them TT im glad euihyun knows that taeju used his debt as a weapon to keep him rather than ulterior motives. i’m so not over euihyuns spiraling in s2 either, geahh i just want him to be happy anddd that’s a wrap,, 9/8/24,, it’s been so long. i’ve been following this even since sandra was around, that long. i even dropped it twice because of s1 but im really happy at myself for picking it up again,, euihyun and taeju have come such a long way and im so proud of them, for euihyuns strength and taejus determination to better himself. they deserve nothing but happiness in the future and im really glad they’re able to have a family, especially euihyun giving his future child and euiyoung childhoods he was never able to experience. euihyun will always be one of my favorite characters because of his kindheartedness (/ _ ; ) ill miss them forever and the title dropping at the end was criminal. i’m really glad that this time they’re going to have a child that’s consensual and not just something to tie euihyun down, im excited to read the side stories of them and their happy family :> the parallel of them beginning in the sea and ending at the sea, im such a sucker for them. euihyun wanting to live compared to the beginning, so happy for him. precious and very special to me. i’m glad neighbor was able to get a good job because of taeju as well, i hope he finds his special someone. smooch, ill miss them all. euja is just too good at writing and showing emotions through their facial expressions, im def gonna get the physical versions

stopped at 57, i think dragging the story any longer is just too much. another kind of story i forced myself to read. i don’t think their relationship was the most healthy, esp the victim blaming towards the mc. it was very noticeable that a lot of the plot was rushed and a lot of the side things went unnoticed. the whole introduction to dragons was a bit iffy, i understand it’s a fantasy but have the power system be explained early on. i don’t have much pros of this story, art was alright, plot was meh, and WAY too much sex scenes, even for a fujo, it gets boring having to scroll through 3 chapters. also the whole confinement thing was a giant red flag, i give 3.5 ️

as other ppl said, the only redeeming part i liked was the art when the duke went crazy, it was so spot on *chefs kiss* but the rest? cliche and just boring. having sex w someone when they’re drugged is rape bro, and he did it TWICE. the ml is just such a red flag and such a sex addict it just ruined it for me. also if ur gonna make a story where the mc can’t find the father, introduce more characters so it’s not painfully obvious that he’s a dumbass and can’t see the fathers right in front of him ☠️ no other words tbh. not even when it was revealed who was the murderer and drug dealer, it was obvious it was the only other side character. also the butler got on my nerves. the public sex is just second hand embarrassment. and the mcs dumbness, EVEN AFTER having the child is just straight stupid. that’s all and goodnight. edit: AND the fact he knew he was the father but kept it a secret??? the ml was stressing hardcore and yet u said nothin??

the translations ARE SO BAD IM SORRY if ur gonna have a legit scanlation team why didn’t they make sure everything made sense. also the art at some points is super ugly. but for some reason i can’t help myself from reading, ik it’ll end up as a shitty stockholm relationship (JINX CORE!!) but i just want the mc to be ok :( also was there hints that he might become pregnant ?

️️️ for the ml and mc, and story,,, ️️️️ for the mcs friend and other characters,,,, overall 3.5 they did a really good job w the 80s atmosphere, to the hidden gay areas to the homophobic people, their outfits, the queer personalities, and even the art style, that was so well done!! the rain part was set up beautifully and really was a nice transition from happy youth to a dramatic scene. however, i have a few critiques about this story,,, erm,, i guess the biggest one is that i don’t like the mc at all rlly, he so clearly used the ml and although it was addressed, it was icky. the way he liked the other guy and then said it was “fear” rather than like and then moved on from him so fast was really not the way to make that kind of angst. i don’t like the ml either, perhaps that’s why they’re perfect for eachother?, the noncon in the beginning when he was lowk manipulated to pick was so gross as well. the way they’re able to be so harsh to eachother for the “greater good” is just so dumb. also the mc moving on and finding a woman, what a way to ruin the entire story. ok i liked how she ran off to find her happuness and mc and ml reunited but i feel like it was still rushed too much. too many lose ends never tied together? like y’all just gonna let a literal murderer lose, the mc only talking back to his dad after and we never know if he actually is out of his grasp, we don’t see the other theatre characters after the time skip, the wedding kinda ruined their relationship as well as the murder accusation, also there was no need to add that graphic rape scene for no reason. overall i think the plot was really unique but it was lowk just abuse and sex, i wish the theatre was more focused on. either way their reunion was cute to see after the wedding :3

fucking yapping wars holy shit

definitely the kind of angst i’m looking for, but damn i feel so bad for the mc :( esp that he has no one else, it makes sense why he’d fall for the only person available cuz he has no other option. the whole hospital scene made me so meow sad, bro was in severe pain and was just disregarded?? like idc how shit of a person u r, take care of someone when they’re in fatal pain bruh. anyways. like i said the angst is good but lawrd i don’t think id forgive the ml if i was mc,, it’s lowk the kind of story that just goes in circles until they form somewhat of a relationship, rn im reading the officals cuz everyone is saying the non officals don’t make any sense but i skipped ahead and it fr looks like they barely made any progress besides smashing a lot. lawl. just waiting for the peak drama to happen then i’ll prolly dip, super meh overall but the art isn’t too bad,, it’s quite obvious this was someone’s ao3 oc angst novel tho lawl

i cannot w this fucking ml bro. keith ur a whole whiny BITCH. this man cannot not have his dick wet for more than 5 mins like idgaf if ur some supreme alpha wolf seme top boy bye cuz ur so chronically horny it’s pathetic ?? AND THE FUCKING sa scene. be so ffrrrr ? HAVE WE LEARNED NOTHINV KEITH?? HAVE WE LEARNED NOTHING. the only somewhat redeeming part of this story is the art, and that’s mid at sometimes too.. i mean i complain about all this but im still eating it up tf is wrong w me cuzzz lawl.. emma and josh,, yall r SO MUCH better for the mc T^T will be the ones that got away fr cuz i would like either of them w mc way more. bro ur future lover shouldn’t make u flinch when he’s around like?? and THE SA SCENES. one is yaoi typcial (fucking disgusting to say that) but there’s just more and more and it’s excused w mls rut like STFU put that man in a cage already or sum shit gaw dam mc gets closer to ml because of his trauma and the ml does the exact same thing that caused the trauma. the math ain’t mathing bro :| i love how the only exception is because of mls pheromones otherwise ml would not be special at all. cat points and laughs. also lowk after the first time they fuck it gets so fast paced for no reason, like why r we jumping through the plot then having entire chaps of them fucking like WE GET IT. he’s gonna be pregnant just move on already,, this story being based off a novel makes sm sense cuz it would work as chaps in a book but in a manhwa the diff scenes like the beating is just glossed over and makes no sense THE REVENGE PLOT GOES CRAZY “I TOLD U I WPUKDNT LET IT GO IF U USED PHERMONES ON ME AGAIN” SCREAMING SHAKING GIGGLING AND KCIKING MY FEET!!! DAMN FCUKING RJGHT!!! GET HIS ASS MC!! ik they’re gonna end up together in the end BUT THAT WAS SO SATISFYING!! MC HAVING AN UPPER HAND FOR ONCE GOES INSANE it’s the way us readers didn’t know either, so I was so caught off guard when all this went down, I wasn’t expecting it THIS RUNAWAY ARC IS EVERYTHING THAT ORIGIN OF SPECIES WANTED TO BE CUZ ITS SO WELL DONE?? THE TENSION AND ADRENALIME LAWRDDD ITS SO GOOD IM GOING CRAZY ML SETTING A BOUNTY FOR MC HAS MY JAW DROPPED i need a second story about dein and mc, because :,) sniffles,, they’re so cute together and the silly moments had me meow sad T^T dein ily n i wish i could’ve seen more of u and mc together ,, also ur so fucking find >////< bro tell me why the story got actually good AFTER keith is no longer around lawll the runaway arc is so good i’ll forever eat that up ,, the pick up at the end reminds me a lot of assorted wildness, where it’s just meh meh throughout until the huge climax ugh so good?? ok im finally on the last chap and i think one of the biggest things that piss me off is how everyone is like “keith was suffering sm when u were gone :,( he had it tough owo uwu” bro stfu?? he ran away from his r’pist and potential abuser, the victim blaming is so strong,, anyways,, i guess im glad mc is happy in the end but whenever he calls keith his alpha i die inside the cringe is so high. at least spencer (gay ass name) is cute tho >o< argh im glad josh was happy in the end ^^ boutta go read the novel so i can see deins ending too :(( anyways i finally finished and that was a wild ass rollercoaster, some ppl liked the beginning but personally i thought it was hella mid, only got better towards the end n im so glad im done *salutes* goodbye kiss me liar, u won’t be missed (maybe a lil)

absolutely stunning visuals and the art is so crisp, like the anatomy is absolutely on POINTEEE ?? this plot concept is so yummy, the online to irl stalking, i’ve never read a manhwa like it before,, i had my jaw dropped when the convenience store scene happened, lawrd the suspense goes crazy. 5/5* as of rn, on ch 6, so so good it’s like netkama but not morally ok and a horror,, i gotta say tho ml is a total creep bro targets ppl in a game and plays as a little girl and was fine w his victim being a minor, ewww icky icky, but i get it, he is insane. it kinda brings up the concept that people can turn a blind eye to morally wrong characters if they do something like killing because we’ve become to insensitive to it, but when there’s things that we can see ourself becoming the victim of, that’s where we draw the line *think face* it’s also weird for the author to write that tho imo . breathes. ok im done w all 12 chs of s1 and all i gotta say is uh. erm. well. uh. it’s something?? i mean it’s definitely unique i gotta give it that but bro we’re the smut scenes necessary :| THATS A MINOR W A WHOLE PREDATOR?? i do think it’s cool for mc to not gaf because he literally has nothing else but them still playing the game together is absolutely wild af. i’m rlly curious how this’ll end
