pluckaduck's manga / #Yaoi(142)

typically don't read much smutty bl, cuz there's too much sex, but I like this one.

crazy motherfuckers. plz don't tell me this is gonna be romance. I cannot fathom how he could ever fall for these rapists. edit: i heard a spoiler that mc's past lover died, that's why he lost his powers

im giving it an extra star because of the translation quality. i detest the seme and hate a story in which the uke submits to and falls for the person who killed his family, but I am interested as to how the story will unravel, albeit it's a bit slow seme: ruthless, ambitious. very clear-headed and doesn't let his lust (for mc) affect his judgment. whom i assume is the 2nd ml: love and lust for uke. he's willing to leave his job for uke's sake. as it stands, he is wayyy better than ml. edit: welp that aged like milk. he thinks of mc as a whore and rapes him too. he wants mc to be indebted to him and fall in love with him but he's not respecting the mc at all. edit: seems to me the author either wants to prolong the series or hasn't really planned out the revenge on mc's end, so she just supplementing the story with smut. how disappointing. is it just gonna be like those stories when mc and ml get emotionally attached to each other bc of their constant skinship? it's one of the hackneyed plot devices for enemies-to-lovers trope. furthermore, there's a clear power dynamic between them- mc having sex with ml so he can live- so anything mc feels will just be stockhome syndrome.

goddamn the uke is cute but he's so annoying. complaining complaining and yet so helpless and largely dependent on others. it's kinda aggravating how he's naively falling for the psychotic ml.

not for the faint of heart. dark and the art makes it more gloomy.

i dont like the ml. like mc said, all the things ml does, are not out of kindness, but to break his will and force him to become ml's sex toy.

I'm not relating to the mc. not really feeling pity for him. his personality is not really established. he's arrogant and blinded in his first life, in his second life, he's meh.

geez mc is just perpetuating the misunderstanding (and romance) that otherwise wouldn't develop if only he just told ml honestly that he doesn't like him, but instead, he's saying stuff like "you're my type" and "three dates, and then sex"...what the heck did he expect?
