I just reread Bj Alex and Holy shit
Its so fucking good. Its genuinely ahead of its time and a breath of fresh air. The communication is amazing. The relationship is healthy and every single time they had a disagreement they apologized and talked. Alex has empathy for DG and vice versa. Its so fucking healthy. The characters actually deserve each other in the relationship. Every time a slip up happens its repercussion and then discussion. They’re so kind and loving towards each other.
And I think thats why I was so shocked by Jinx when it first came out.
I thought “Mingwa is about to make a good healthy relationship while still making it interesting.”
What went wrong??! How do you regress that much? Bj Alex was everything and I'm disappointed. And it’s sad because I know Mingwa knows better. I read Bj Alex and thought. “This is a good writer who understands relationships.” So how the fuck do you just throw that out the water and fall into the same toxic shitty rage bait that everyone else is doing?
Any way Bj Alex was really good and we took it for granted. They probably have one of the healthiest relationships in Bl.

BJ alex sucks balls and has a horrible plot
Oh! Yeah the story is really juvenile and lame. And a lot of second hand embarrassment which makes it hard to read. But its really refreshing compared to the Bl that are being made today. It’s simply bad. Not so much aggravating.
Me when i lie
You are an optimist… I love that for you…
Help I thought you were being sarcastic
Im being so serious. It’s literally vanilla compared to Bls today
While I agree bj Alex is way better than jinx but you can't really call Alex green flag
I don’t think I used that phrase. Plus it’s genuinely not toxic. Maybe it’s something in my water idk idc. Name one toxic thing he did that didn’t get communicated on. You can’t. So its not that bad.
Well I can't because it's been years since I read it
But yes I agree that it's better than jinx
But you're comparing the start of Jinx with the second half of Bj Alex.
Alex was also a prick that only wanted sex (even tho Jo is worse) and after DG left him, he finally come to his senses. That's when the cute part came.
When we look at the situation in jinx, Jo is also left by Dan rn because he treated him so bad. It looks like Jo will be sobbing before going to bed how he misses his Danny and they will get their lovey dovey end
Before the cute end we will probably also find out that Jo has some tragic traumatic past so everyone will feel bad for him and forgive him absolutely anything...
For me I'm more disappointed that Mingwa goes with the same story but makes the Top more red flag. The fighting scenes are cool, but the plot sucks, which is kinda sad cuz the artystyle is really amazing
I dont think Alex never only wanted sex. Dg initiated it first. He wanted more than sex but couldn’t give him anything else due to his past. Thats kinda where I think Jinx is going. Aside from Alex’s own personal issues in the relationship he never pushed sex onto Dg. There is cohesion in one chapter. But he never wanted bad to the point of harming Dg. I don’t want to compare the tops to much because I feel like they’re very different people.
Jaekyung on the other hand just wanted sex for his personal issues not to avoid his problems but to fix his problems. Alex recognizes that partners are not problem fixers. They’re kinda with their partners for the same reasons at entirely different angles.
But I do hope that Jinx has that “good” ending.
Hmm I like your point.
It's been long time since I read bj Alex so maybe I see it little bit different. I would have to read it again if I'm here to judge haha
Idk if you're being serious or not
About what?
About bj Alex anyways
Im begging you to reread because Alex was not bad. I thought he was terrible but looking back on it he’s nothing compared to Bl nowadays. He’s not toxic in the slightest.
That i agree cause nowadays it's just full of toxic ml and rape
