otakulys's manga / #drama(419)

Interesting so far. Someone posted something that makes me think a lot more of this has been translated already, but for whatever reason only one chapter has been uploaded here, even with two different versions on the site. I hope someone helps him, though. I hate stories where they end up with their captor and just get full on stockholm syndrome or something. That's typically how it goes. I hope he falls for someone else who actually treats him well. But I guess we'll see.

I dunno. It is what it is. Another rapey manwha with guys who are hot most of the time but sometimes have tree-trunk necks. It's not quiiiiite as toxic as Jinx, and as long as this bottom isn't like that miserable little loser, Doctor Dan, I may be able to stick around for the pretty art. Even though the things he was thinking during sex were so cringey. I hate how people love to infantilize the "receiving" partner. EDIT: Stop calling it your "tummy." You're a grown fucking man. Dear lord. The vibe of this is already off-putting, obviously, but the fact that he seems mentally challenged or something, like an adult with the mind of a child, just makes it all the more fucked up.

The main story wasn't really for me. Too rushed, kinda cheesy. I couldn't really get into it because everything moved so quickly. It made them all seem weird and illogical. The third story, however, was interesting. I love the way it was framed, and the subtle shift with the girl. Realizing this guy they all idolize is a sadist. The simple change from the beginning. I really loved that final line, "...I don't..."

Everyone in this story sucks. The end. I initially thought Yeonho was just really stupid, but it turns out he's nosy, hypocritical, and really stupid. Like, mind your own business, bitch. I don't know why I'm still reading this. Maybe because the twisted nature of a father and son fighting over the same powerless pretty boy is appealing to me in a masochistic sort of way. I wish I could get something like this more often only, you know, written well.

Wtf. XD That's some misery porn right there. I like elements of that kind of conflict, but overall it just felt like a lot of kicking people when they're down. I guess we can see how the next life works out for them. Seriously, though, jesus christ.

It's really a shame that this started with rape. It wasn't perfect throughout, but I would have liked the story so much more if it didn't start with violent sexual assault and another stupid uke who somehow logics his way into getting repeatedly fucked when he doesn't want to. I hate those tropes SO damn much. If this story had been about two consensual fuck buddies from the start, it would have been so satisfying. Watching the cold seme show that he's falling in other ways, that scene where he beats the crap out of those guys... It all would have meant so much more if their own beginning hadn't been super gross. Especially all of the emphasis on him being a kid. It was just weird. But somehow I didn't completely hate it. Maybe because I pretended the first chapter or so wasn't real.

Super fucked up, lol, but too short to have a full impact. Maybe I'm grateful for that. I would be more upset if I watched them fall in love and saw them separated. But this story leaves out a lot of information, like why they weren't together, why the mermaid was caught, etc. It makes it less effective, which is fine. It would be more upsetting if I cared and was invested, lol.

Eh. Probably gonna be the usual bullshit. Rapey and unpleasant, a top that treats the bottom like crap, but still ends up with him in the end with virtually no work on his own part. But we'll see, I guess.

I don't know if I read this before, but I guessed everything from the start. It was weird, I kept feeling like maybe I had read it, but I think it was just because I'd read the author's other work. Either way, I was hoping for some interesting twists, but I just got what I expected.
