The minute i thought i was seeing some kind of humane emotion from the seme, telling him stop crying and they are gone. This mf goes and says -so lean against me and wrap your hands around me while i fuck you or something- This mf won't let us readers be delusional even lol
What happened to the plot? Did they decide to put in every possible cliched troupe in. Ch105 was so absurd, there was no time to even digest anything. It felt like a one of those comedy cheap dramas.
Seme's yapping gets on my nerves. Can't even ignore his red flags and enjoy the art because of his yappings. He might just be the most hated Seme.
Seme should not be allowed to raise a kid. He does such a bad job I'm surprised the baby is doing good even T_T Who lets a male escort take care of your baby boy when the actual babysitter arrives later. If you had the choice why'd you pick the gay prostitute. And he starts a sexual relationship with a 19 yr old runaway teenager who becomes a prostitute to get by (albeit he does like his job), a teenager that never even had a lover T_T wtf.
If a baby wasn't involved and they didn't try to pass this off as a wholesome manga i would've maybe liked it. But this was anything but wholesome I'm sorry T_T So many dangerous and inappropriate situations around the baby. Bringing home another female prostitute for her to REST ??? and then she slaps the baby?? Allowing a male prostitute who you know nothing about to take a shower and change your baby and make them look after the baby boy? fuck no. And these are just some red flags. ;_;
This manhwa and the "Stranger" is so similiar. Both has gorgeous art and drop dead gorgeous younger seme's in unfortunate situations and the Uke's are rich and wants to take care of Seme. Even the fact that Seme's fathers are absolute trash. But both stories are so damn good. I wish both stories were seke, or like switch even once ? one can dream T_T
yess and both of them are my favorites
can u link? please
I think it’s this one! : https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/stranger_2/
Bruh wtf. I understand Uke is scared and has always been a coward, but damn how tf does he still like him. Seme basically forced himself on Uke while making it sound like Uke wanted it. And Seme yapped so much it was f annoying. Like shut the fuck up, why you have so much to say. The art is gorgeous and Seme is gorgeous, esp compared to Uke but tf he has such a despicable personality.
I sympathize with Uke but how is someone this spineless! The next morning Uke was saying shit like "i shouldn't have let that happen". Do you mean you could've done more to protest? "No" is not enough? They are really trying their damn best to make the lines blurry when its crystal clear Uke was r*ped by this mf. And Uke says he had sex with Seme ??? How is that sex. Sex is consensual, that clearly wasn't.
I get it you can have a redemption arc and all. I've read more toxic red flag BL's. But please don't make rape sound like normal sex. Even in the most toxic deranged BL 's they don't make portray the shit actions as normal to the viewers at least. It might be portrayed as normal in the setting but the viewers are not confused as to how wrong it actually is.
I'm not giving up on this or giving it a thumbs down because I can digest toxic shit. Loved Killing stalking as well, but even in that fucked up manhwa they didn't try to make out like his actions were ok and it wasn't muder. lol imagine after he killed someone and uke witnessed it but the next morning uke was like "but that wasn't muder the victim gave consent to be killed" haha.
The only thing which ain't ok, in most readers pov from what i can see from the comments is that author is trying to make rape sound like normal consensual sex.
I didn’t read this as rape normalization. It is very common for people to blame themselves for being raped. In Seob is currently being held hostage by Woo Yeon, if I remember correctly has his passport so he can’t just do what he wants freely. People can also be raped by people they are in love with. Rape doesn’t necessarily erase those feelings. I think the writer is doing a good job of showing the conflicted emotions of someone who is trapped in an abusive relationship.
The uke is a doctor Dan.
I hope I can leave a like on your reply
@Asahime: thats a fresh take. Yeah, you could say that, but he doesn't seem to have any such inner monologue or horror at what's occurred. Nothing implies that he is convincing himself that he wasn't raped. But I hope you are right and we don't just brush past this incident and it gets explored at least later on. That will be nice to see. However, if they just gloss over it without any hint at such conflicting emotions being explored I don't see how the writer can be defended.
Thanks for your perspective though, i hope you are right.
Well, what a shit show this was. I actually had to skip through all the 'romance' bullshit, cause surprisingly I was curious if there would be any redemption arc or something - I don't even know what I was expecting, clearly.
I didn't find any of the main characters likable, like niet not one part of their personality was least understandable. They were manipulative, 'whore - in their own words' that deserved each other.
But i guess that's what makes this so different, this shows characters willing to go 'down and dirty' to get what they want. Your average person would find the characters fascinating as their thought process and actions are so irrational, that one might think how can someone be this dumb.
I don't understand the 'romance' either, I didn't find any of their interactions cute. But then again I'm glad I didn't haha, maybe I'm more sane than I thought.
I'm giving this two stars instead of one as it is indeed a brilliant perspective, but just one that I don't care much to explore.
PS: the art is fucking gorgeous
Wish I'd read this since now i somehow came halfway and noped out since there was no redemption in sight (╬￣皿￣)凸
Wait wtf happened? They were both talking on the sofa and he woke up doing it ?? was he drugged from the beginning ?
Wow. This manhwa really do be the gift that keeps on giving.
When the art was so gorgeous i thought surely the story gonna be mid. When the art and story was top notch i thought surely this gonna be PG, but then they gave us smex scenes. And then i thought ah softcore censored scenes is such a treat. But noo I'm still unwrapping the gift. Even the sex scenes are so sensual and intentional and adds to the story. This is such a masterpiece.
