It's not really good but i don't get how it's so especially hated when most bl nowadays are like this. I'm not saying that we should just tolerate works with no consent/rape just because it's what most bl authors feed us today.
I just find it weird that they hate this one in particular (so hated to the point most I see in the topics right now are negative) when this at least had the top who tried to improve in the latter part, while there are top-rated rape bl manhwas with ratings reaching 9+ where you don't see a change at all to the lead's behavior.
Tho I admit, I'm kinda biased here too since I like the pretty seme x delinquent-looking uke dynamic.
But set that bias of mine aside, what sets this work apart from other rapey bls that makes it so hateful (aside from the ugly drawing of dicks)? Coz honestly for me, it's really that average. Not to be hated that much, yet not to be a fave either.
I have no problem with the noncon because I’m comfortable with my twisted fictional fantasies, I think it sucks because it’s poorly written lol. And also because manhwa love to introduce hot guys with white hair only to make them suck and it makes me super mad.
While this is not the hot garbage everyone is making it out to be in the comments, it's not good for a myriad of readers.
--- HEAVY non-con/rape actions from pretty much the get go; like chapter 2. It occurs in multiple instances, and they try to play off the tops actions with traumatic childhood backstory that is hinted at but explained far too late. It's not even insanely traumatic, falls kind of flat honestly. And lets be real- the top gives the bottom a drink and after drinking that SINGULAR drink he is so drunk he falls UNCONCIOUS. SPIKED DRINK INTO NON-CON?! ON THE FIRST INTERACTION?!? You will lose a good chunk of audience off that alone.
---- The bottom keeps coming back to top. Because he's pretty. Despite the bad interaction they left off as kids, and the NON CON DRUGGING that essentially happened on the last interaction? He still goes out of his way to find him again. *Only for it to just happen AGAIN but this time the top non cons the bottom AT THE TOPS WORKPLACE.*
AND THEY STILL GET TOGETHER AFTER THIS!!! ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
---- The bottom, seeking finally after I believe the third shitty interaction, tries to date. It fails but he finds a side-piece who accidentally takes him to the tops work and bad mouths the top. Bottom then gets assaulted by the side piece.
If you somehow make it through that complete shit-show? It's fine- it's whatever. Obsessive top is obsessive, bottom just smacking the back of his head like he's re-training a child. It's not good by any standards but it's not utter trash, has a few funny moments and the arts not bad. But genuinely if you don't like non-con/rape relationships? This one is rough and REALLY not justified with the heel turn behavior; do not enter this place. （￣へ￣）
