Are you serious about not noticing the red flags in his behavior from the very beginning? Girl, I worry about you.
I feel like in other manhwas, you get their toxicity fully from the beginning.
But here, it was subtle (I mean, not really because he literally raped him but let’s say compared to other stories), but it feels so different now because it’s somehow made an illusion of him really caring about his wellbeing for some unknown reason
Yeah, when you can actually tell the difference between writing that has real value and shit like Jinx, you realize you can't predict the whole story just by looking at the characters...This is what happens when you're reading an author who actually knows what she's doing.
She plays with your sense of danger the same way real life does. Danger doesn't always show up waving a giant red flag in your face like "HI I'M DANGEROUS"
Sometimes it comes quietly. It creeps in little by little, and if you ignore that gut feeling telling you something is WRONG and keep giving people second chances… yeah, you're fucked ╥﹏╥ and I think that's what makes this story hit so hard. You keep thinking "okay, maybe THIS is where he'll stop" or "maybe he’s not actually gonna go that far"…
And then he does.
Bcs real danger doesn't always look dangerous at first. Sometimes you only realize how bad it was after you've already let it get too close.
That survival instinct exists for a reason.
You’re absolutely right! It’s realistic and shows how a dangerous obsession starts with small manipulations.
For me, I feel like I’ve always hated the way he speaks to him like he was underestimating his intelligence, even though the bottoms understands this situation was weird to begin with. I love how the bottom is actually conscious of the situation from the beginning, it was brave enough to walk away.
In other yaois you also feel like the toxic top isn’t self aware and is only selfish,and here there is intelligence beyond that if it makes sense
Reading other yaoi where it’s not well written like
Jinx I feel like for me it’s just brainrot yaoi
Anyways I wonder where she’s taking this story because I don’t want them to even end together I hate the top so much he is just mean
I didnt really expect it to be this bad tbh ?
