Author is a coward for making Koju turn into a kemonomimi for their happy ever after instead of leaving him a beast man.
Anyways I hate the “i’m you’re adoptive dad but i’ve always loved you so i never saw u as my dad so we can bang now” dynamic (which is more common than you’d think?) and i wish there was like some logic behind why Shizuka was suddenly in love love with him and no longer saw him as Koju’s dad - but also this is literally just a yaoi version of a trashy erotica novel so I
shouldn’t expect anything well-thought-out from it besides for porn lmao
I mean.. the title IS "My Beast Son's In Heat" so.. what do you expect?
i explained in the second half of my comment, but to further clarify, since the author decided to have Shizuka deny and refuse Koju’s advances because they are family, and because his love for Koju is strictly familial, i think the story needed an actual explanation for why Shizuka suddenly feels romantic/sexual attraction for Koju and no longer sees him as like. Just his son. Bcus the way it was done was bad.
And I also said it’s literally a trashy romance novel so it’s fine lmao.
also tbh the grammar of the title is weird, i don’t know if it’s correct? and that confused me, i’ll admit. bcus they’re using the apostrophe s as a shortened form of is, but idk if that’s grammatically correct here?
oh no man, I was saying I totally agree with what you were saying
OH omg i’m sorry !!!
NO NO its okay!!!
I agree! The transition is poorly done. I was like "is that it? Just like that?" It felt rushed for me tbh... And in terms of title, manga titles are usually weird.....
I have. Many thoughts on this but the main story end was so super disappointing.
I hate hate hate the “but i was just writing characters in a story!” twist and literally am refusing to interpret that as anything but non canonical.
I hate that we weren’t given a proper resolution but i’m choosing to believe it will be followed up.
Tho there’s really no logical reason why they would end up leaving the protected area, besides for being infatuated with the idea of freedom, even towards the end it’s pretty clear Serval is like. Nah i’m gonna go back it’s not worth it here. But it’s a vague ending for some reason so who knows.
There really wasn’t like a nice follow up or resolution on any of the other couples besides for Puma and Whote Lion - How are Beluga and Sperm Whale doing now? Did Bottom-Snake recover and get to be released into the wild with Top-Bunny like the other Snake and Bunny? Are those two doing ok in the wild? Are the ... Wildebeest (? Or Ox... or somethin) and the Red Panda a proper couple? Is Musk Deer implies to get with the Sand Cat?
I guess we’ll see where it goes from here but I’m disappointed to say the least.
The fact he doesn’t get his ass spanked even once feels like a crime
My feelings are so mixed up but I really, really liked this story...
God this story fucking sucks. At least the kabeshiri sex was good.
Yul talking about how Yujin "ruined" Sian by taking her virginity, that she's somehow worth less or bad because she had sex....
I do like how the writer has really managed to hit several big red flags, like esp the more subtle emotionally manipulative ones, for like, a really abusive dude.
after a while of reading and following this story, I've come to realize that the themes are heavily reliant on Yul being a garbage person.
mmmm no-name better get to fuck some dudes too. good lord he’s hot.
i feel like hes flexible after all what goes around comes around
*coughs* gay for pay *coughs*
mmm, true enough, though I’d rather have him sincerely into it than just in it for the money ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
I understand why ppl dislike Dohyun for being a shitty person and very toxic but like... y’all ... Sungho kidnapped and repeatedly raped and abused Dohyun while holding him captive. Like. I’m not defending Dohyun for being a selfish person, but I seriously don’t get people acting like he’s the worse person here and Sungho is just an uwu baby. They’re both bad people but at least Dohyun isn’t a violent and obsessive kidnapper rapist... they’re not equally bad.
That being said, no shit on the story for it. It’s good and somehow tied together what is an insanely unhealthy romance together in a somewhat satisfying way?
I want to write an extensive think piece on this bcus I’m gonna be honest, I think it’s complex and flawed and I feel like a lot of the commenters here aren’t approaching this with the nuance a story like this deserves (which admittedly sounds really elitist, but reading the comments I don’t know how else to put it).
That’s how it be when young audiences read it. Feeling more bad for the person doing fucked up shit bc uwuuu “I cry tears too” and getting more riled up and mad bc the other person ain’t taking that shit.
Most BL stories feature rape, and that’s how kids become desensitized to rape and sexual assault. It’s really sad.
i totally agree. this is so well written disgustingly beautiful like their relationship, but they shouldn’t have ended tog after all that, it makes me sick. I’m not happy w the ending. so perplexed.
the ending is super fucked up. they obviously are both super mentally ill especially sungho.
EXACTLY like bruh. I agree, it's really complex and their relationship is unhealthy and not something to be romanticized at all.
Here's thing. When I was younger. Maybe like 6-8 years ago. I was okay and excited reading abusive, rape, necrophilia and gore shit. Now I know I wouldn't be able to go through Feeding lamb with same excitment as before. I also don't feel excited about rape mangas anymore. My understanding of rape even is stupid fiction got moved and it did not desentize me reading it few years back. But I know not everybody has it like this but I really hope when people go looking back at this when they are older, they won'tfeel like "oh yes pls, non con".
yes that may be for your case, and I’m glad it didn’t affect you, but it will mostly likely affect people maybe not exactly like I’m go rape or staying w someone that has raped them, but things like this- the ending, promotes the idea that it’s okay to be in such toxic relationship, u just need to get it thru, or that minor sexual harrasement and assault is ok.
I hope this doesn’t sound rude? But noncon/rape fantasies are exceedingly common, studies estimate that somewhere from 20-50% of all people experience sexual fantasies where they are being raped.
It’s difficult ground to tread, as it can lead to the romanticization of rape and abuse, but there’s, conceptually, nothing wrong with people enjoying fictional noncon scenarios or consensual non consent role play.
The idea that people will just grow out of it is.. admittedly something kinda harmful imo. Ppl don’t choose what turns them on, and one popular theory is shame and sexual repression, esp in women and men who don’t conform to toxic masculine standards, is what leads to these fantasies - repressing them even further (ie forcing oneself to grow out of it) could likely make them more even more prominent.
Look, y'all, I get fantasizing about, like, shit that's bad and not wanting it to happen to you irl cause fantasy is different. I get that. But this manga is trying to realistically show how horrible stalking/stalkers are. Yes, it's showing Yul is damaged and that's why he's the way he is, but it is not justifying/trying to justify or excuse his behavior, just explain.
I understand fantasizing about unhealthy stuff but here... there's not much to fantasize about. It's very clear cut, portrayed as unhealthy and abusive. Yul hits on like, every abusive trait and red flag.
It's just fiction, so it's not a big deal, but I'm hoping you guys are just young and are able to understand that it's just fiction. I know a lot of stories, especially BL stories, romanticize abusive, unhealthy traits. But Yul's dialogue is all abuse, all emotional manipulation, etc.
You guys need to realize, abusers in real life are messy. They're not this storybook version of them where they're evil people set out to do harm. A lot of real life abusers and rapists are like Yul - people who have shitty backgrounds and developed toxic behavior because of them. That doesn't excuse any abusers, any rapists, it explains but it never excuses, as countless people with backgrounds like that don't turn out that way. It's ok to feel bad for him as a fictional character, but it's also important to be careful because that thinking irl is why people end up sticking with abusers -- "but he has a bad past" "but he's been through so much" "but he's a good guy inside" "but he's only abusive sometimes.
In a lot of fictional stories, especially BL, those characters get "redeemed". They get a happy end and a different love interest and it's all rainbows in the end. And that's a really shitty trope and bad writing, to be honest. One person can't fix an abuser, especially not someone in a romantic or familial relationship with them.
Hell, Yul and Sian intentionally contrast each other -- both are from abusive families, were bullied, etc. and both have their struggles - but Yul became an abuser.
Sian did forgive Yul from what I've from someone reading the raws of its endings and Thank you for saying this honestly I so annoyed by the hate from other users saying that its wrong to feel bad for Yul.....
I really apreciate you for sharing this! I hope alot people understand that common sense isn't always right sometimes and theres nothing wrong for feeling bad for a fictional characters.
and yea there are hated characters in anime as well too who also gets to redeemed themselves!
See... I don’t have an inherent issue with them
having sex — it’s a possible reaction to the trauma, especially considering Chung is a CSA survivor.
The issue is . The dialogue. When being told Chung was raped and marked all over, the response is “please don’t provoke me” and then, even worse, followed with, “I want to be gentle, so..”
If you don’t get what he’s saying here: Chung’s comment made the top feel more aggressive and want to be rough with Chung. As in, the whole, reclaiming property sort of shit. Chung was raped by his brother and he has the urge to be aggressive and take back what Chung ‘gave’ to his brother - implying he has to
fight back the urge when Chung makes that comment.
It makes it sound like he does not see Chung as a person, but his property. Which is really gross.
Also, this isn’t the first instance of the top viewing Chung as his property. In chapters 20-21 Chung attempts to reject the top, and the top becomes angry, tells him he doesn’t have a choice/he doesn’t get a say, and. Well. Rapes him. There’s no other way around it. The top forced Chung to have sex with him because he was angry that Chung tried to turn him down.
I’m guessing the author isn’t going to address that the top has literally viewed Chung as his property and not as an individual on more than one occasion, since that’s unfortunately common in these stories.
But in the first place the serpent thing that chung his bird in cage of him... So i think its normal that he think that chung is his property and the property that no one can lay hand of his....
Sorry if im wrong.. It just what i think about the story after i read it..^_^^_^
I agree with you but he's fucked up. So it make sense.
Yes all of them. It's sad
