The Lazy Son and His Naughty Secretary
It’s a shame there’s rape at the beginning but I’m so happy I read the comments and followed through with reading. This story isn’t there the top/dominant person comes in to save the day. It seriously portrays traumatic experiences and the after effects of it (getting a panic attack in the elevator, getting flashbacks). It isn’t a one time thing and effects our main character 20 years later still. What more, his partner is understanding and doesn’t pry nor make it his goal to learn of MC’s past. You see a character who’s a bottom standing up for himself, beating up his mf abuser and overcoming his trauma.(obviously trauma can’t go away this easily but this is a major step in healing). For a wack ass title and summary (I mean this not in a bad way promise), the story is super fucking good. Don’t get me started on the fucking praise kink holy shit. I know there’s the focus on the degradation but did you see MC’s eyes?? The way it glowed when he got called “good boy” that’s my SHIT bro. There are barely any manga I feel when it comes to verbal kinks such as voice kinks and praise kink. Oh my god. And the way that the top ended up being gentle the more the two got closer? God I’m soft. We even see MC question it too! Also I love how the sex is actually relevant to the plot. Usually it’s like wow night time haha time to fuck. No, there’s rewards (I love this idea so much) and then there’s when MC escaped his kidnapper the second time. The reward sex had lots of praise (good shit) incorporated in, hence the reward. We see MC thrive on praise and attention. It only heightens with the fact that we know his partner genuinely is interested in him. Once we get to the sex after MC escapes his kidnapper, we see a different shift in dynamics. It’s more softer, and there’s love. The moment in the car and after in the bedroom shows exactly that. There isn’t the usual praise because it’s just them loving each other in the moment man. To wrap it up, it’s a shame there’s a noncon scene at the beginning because while MC did end up liking it at the end, always ask for CONSENT. With that aside, this story really focuses on a relatively real life situation (compared to other works of manga of this length) and this really made its way up to one of my top favorite bl manga. I know there’s comedy and quite frankly, a typical bl trope (besides masochistic seme. That’s a rare one) with the usual pacing of sex right then and there. But there are really good points in here that can be applied in our own lives. I can def relate to the triggers and panic attacks of a similar sight or smell from that traumatic time in your childhood. The bottom isn’t a forever bratty bottom who doesn’t get any character development at all and the top isn’t some possessive asshole that manipulates the bottom to his will! Congrats! You wrote two amazing characters with a good amount of death for this amount of chapters and created something that really resonated in me. Not only did you hit one of the rarest kinks you’ll find in bl manga BUT you also hit me with relating to MC’s trauma LMAO kudos.
