THIS! I literally could not have said it better.
Honestly I'm only reading for the uncle and the bratty bottom that the author posted on X. I wold prefer if their story was parallel to this one to show what a "healthy" relationship is and because I'm a semi trad fujo but I do enjoy the buff bottoms from BWAT
Kinda agree but I was mainly here for the beefy bottom types lol
The author is good at creating characters hence the reaction and discussion about them. I have understood both side and after reading up to this point my patience for Suah was over. I could've handle it while bingereading but reading whil on going just made me built the type of hate with no redemption. I do hope their development would be something better that would be able to erase such nightmare for Juhyeok but I can also see this getting brushed off with just Juhyeok realizing his 'feelings'. So yeah, I dropped it because I personally wouldn't enjoy reading them as a lovey dovey couple because of my hate with Suah. It soured my view of them as a cute unconventional couple. But if it gets better when finished I might go back after all I liked how the author writes their character.
Thank you! Finally a high EQ response to this story.
Genuinely I get it, but I must say it's not simply just suah but the story overall. The last few chapters had him finally distancing himself and not talking to juhyeok. Then we get juhyeok sulking over the top and even when he found another alpha that he could potentially sleep with he blew it and well (with the benefit of a doubt because he was drunk) rejected him to just sulking over suah. Then we get some developmental between him and suah only for the next two chapters to just disappoint and dismantle all prior development.
The strategy and formula for this story is a frustrating one especially when one subscribe to the story weekly. So it is best for readers to let it marinate and finish the story in one sitting to have the over all view of the nuances and author's goal for this story since it's going to be a long ride. Because in my case, reading it weekly is making me resent this one. Personally I also don't like Suah's character despite understanding his side of the coin. Some characters are just dislikable for some. It's Suah in my case in this story.
Lowkey I agree suah does come off as selfish and the author loves toying with our emotions I swear
Omg THANK YOU someone with a brain and not just taking sides.
I mean I definitely think suah did irreparable damage (unintentionally) and Juhyeoks anger is kinda justified. I don't think both's actions are equally bad (considering suah's actions and how its affected Juhyeok), but I think people tend to forget there are a lot of additional factors including Juhyeok's personality
Yeah but you are still not taking sides at least that it was all comment section is now. I said in my comment that both are wrong at some point and now everyone thinks im just on seme side
Lowkey I get it
So first off I wanna say I don't blame anyone for dropping this or for not liking su-ah, but I think we need to actually view things with a little more nuance. Both characters have a level of affection for each other. The top is overly affectionate to the point that he's borderline obsessive, though he wouldn't purposely something just to hurt the bottom. Yes I don't agree with his actions up to this point, but his intentions weren't to cause harm. He was a dumb traumatized teenager who didn't understand the consequences of his actions. To him he was protecting the bottom by scenting him, which backfired. It's not just the nonconsenual scenting or the dub-con scene that made their relationship fucked up. Before all this happened when they were kids they had presumed roles, which as we know didn't go as planned. Su-ah was so miserable when he presented as an alpha that it got to the point that he started having body dysmorphia. Juhyeok always had an ego, but him presenting as an omega had sent him down a downward spiral. Su-ah's stupid decision to scenting him while he was still in the developmental stage certainly didn't help and just furthered the level of toxicity to their relationship. All in all both characters are incredibly flawed and fucked up. Su-ah was willing to leave juhyeok alone but juhyeok still came back(same day after rejecting an alpha and sulking over his relationship). Juhyeok may not want to admit it but he does hold a level of affection for su-ah. Even beyond the pheromone dependency juhyeok is not a "conventionally attractive" omega too which still actually does have an affect on his insecurities. Both characters need therapy and proper communication and understanding before the pairing could even actually work. (Also I'm pretty sure su-ah just said what he said as an in the moment kinda thing, after all he did make sure that juhyeok received proper contraception(being the morning after pill) so I don't think he completely disregards juhyeoks dreams) all in all there is hope and I will be letting this marinate because the author for some reason loves to traumatize us with cliffhangers (on top of the long waits between chapters).
