Need I say more than the start of the relationship speaking for itself. I can guarantee you any character development to be seen is only so the readers can have a peace of mind when they inevitably get together rather than because this piece of shit would actually ever get better.
Point of Breaking: -spoilers- Kim Dan goes back home to gather his stuff, and loansharks attempt to rape him. Jaekyung shows up and screams at Kim Dan that’s being held down for not picking up his phone.
Aside from Hyesung CONSTANTLY being a victim in every scenario he’s involved in, the story suddenly introduces a world setting at the very end for them to stay together as if even the author couldn’t make them stay together without retconning their characters. Fargo also infamously CAN’T possibly make an introduced character stay single.
Point of Breaking: -spoilers- Dojin rapes Hyesung out of jealousy for saying he’ll move out to an old classmate’s place. Also sid
To me, this is the worst work of Fargo, and straight up sad to read in the second half. So bad in fact that I’ll just leave 2 Points of Breaking.
-spoilers-
Point of Breaking 1: (Main story) Hyung-jo gets jealous of/mad at Minjae and keeps him as a sex slave tied to his bed over the weekend, raping him daily.
Point of Breaking 2: (After story) Hyung-jo and Minjae are lovers but Minjae trembles and gets scared at even trying doggyback position because that’s how Hyung-jo raped him.

This list was NOT created to hate on the yaoi genre as a whole (as I guessed some may presume from my username). I created this list from my feelings alone, and to create a space where likeminded individuals feel free to rant and criticize works that feel too comfortable normalizing traumatic events or using them as plot point without the nuances. The list also will not include obviously smut-centered works since they don’t tend to have plot at all. Just wanted to clarify!
