He definitely became a villain in my eyes from that moment on. He "lost control" and proceeded to scare the FL who by the way, is just starting to experience the real world. Like the other commenter said, his intentions always come from a place of affection, but I really don't care where they come from. That is no excuse for what he'd done.
Yall are ridiculous. He showed her the difference in his power vs hers. She’s new to life, it’s an unfortunate reality and important lesson that she hasn’t learned and needed to. He didn’t even sexually assault her. I really can’t with the pearl clutching anymore. It’s not cute, it’s not realistic, and it sure as hell isn’t smart or morally superior in the way you think it is.
The jump from what he actually did to likening him to a rapist, to you then saying I support rape, attempting to insult and moralize yourself by using yaoi and porn, tells me everything I need to know. You are clearly very young, inexperienced, and living in delulu.
If you dislike realistic romance novels, with realistic time settings and situations, don’t read them. There are plenty of super unrealistic, happy, all boundaries respected, soft romances for you to read. The woman in the next chapter literally almost experiences what Jill is trying to warn against. That could have been the FL.
Stick to Disney utopian fantasy stories, far more appropriate for your age and mindset.
A. I’m a woman, mate. Oh no! What are you going to do now that your ridiculous insults are not relevant :( B. You’re an absolute moron, obviously suffering from brain rot and clearly an iPad kid. C. I’m a lot older than you, have been reading romance novels for a long time (do you even know how to read? From the way you type, seems like you really struggle), then expanded to manga > manhwa.
I’ve lived in the real world, have had more than my fair share of shit experiences with men, and don’t fling the word rape around the way you younger idiots do. The fact you stupid chits don’t realize you are doing more damage to the fight against male sexual assault and rape with the way you guys cry rape at every opportunity, is baffling. Shut. The. Fook. Up. And go back to quietly mooching off your parents.
I don’t understand what you’re arguing abt bc Yukyui literally said (after hearing abt Jill having a morally gray moment) that they’re hesitating to read this manga. so you guys agree that if you don’t like this genre or type of character then just don’t read it lol no reason to insult if it’s not someone’s taste and they weren’t being judgemental of ppl who do like it.
I think there’s a difference between liking every character and seeing them do no wrong versus liking what they bring to the story but still having reactions/negative emotions to their actions. I think that this kind of conflict is a good tool for moving along plots but if it makes ppl uncomfortable then they should express that, and it’s good that everyone shares different opinions abt it
and in ur later reply since u said u have a lot of life experiences with men and you emphasized how you like mangas that have a realistic edge to them, then im assuming that u wouldn’t mind if ur male friend who you’ve developed a lot of trust with suddenly threatened to rape you. but not only threatened also pinned you down against a wall and then proceeded to touch you inappropriately until you started sobbing.
but yes you’re right it’s not rape and yes he had good intentions and the ultimate lesson of being careful with all men has benefit to it, but I don’t think we can agree that the lesson was communicated well or with sensitivity.
Yes, as an eldest daughter with no decent father figure or elder brother to help me realize the dangers of men, I would have greatly appreciated this approach. He scared her. He made it apparent the differences in their size and strength and how her ridiculous “I’ll just run away” plan would have gone. And he let her go when she verbalized she was scared and there was actual understanding on her end. She also didn’t sob…reading comprehension
I doubt i let yk my age, I'm certainly not an ipad kid (boohoo) and definitely not anywhere near 'new reader' tell u what, u got daddy issues, i knew it way before u talked bout being an elder daughter without a father (boo fuckin hoo), thanks for confirming it though! Tell ya what, u people fantasize bout getting rapes sm it's pathetic asf. 'ooh, she's new to life and needs someone to rape threat her so she wouldn't make a mistake, ooh, how reassuring" NO! could've explained it to her, as u said she's 'new to life' YES, EXACTLY WHY SHE SHOULDN'T PUT UP WITH GETTING FUCKIN RAPE THREAT YOU DUMBFUCK!! So embarrassing, oml.. get help. Doubt even therapy would save you though. Obv a person would be fuckin scared and uncomfortable as FUCK of someone rape threatened them?? That doesn't mean they gotta put up with getting that shitty threat. Jill was BAD here and that's simply all. Argue with the wall. U karens ruin the world ffs, @fudge.

Chapter 37, just no. You don't warn the women in your life by attempting to demonstrate the act of sexual assault. Jill went from being a attractive golden-retriever male lead to a complete unattractive jackass in the span of a panel. Fuck you and your male ego.
