Unpopular opinion but this one is still enjoyable, although the chasing arc was indeed lacking.
The premise and the smut were just too good. The writing was also great for the most part, except for the last few chapters. I loved the evolution of their intimacy, it's perfectly illustrated by how Yoongun was kind of a germophobe, but gradually got more comfortable and made exceptions, and so they went from handjob to sex, to fellatio, to rimming iirc.
It was a pity that the ending was so rushed so I waited eagerly for the side stories and now they're finally coming. May we get a more satisfying ending with this!
I love that they match each other's freak! And it's great that everything was consensual! Even the roofied drink, see how Taegeon already knew about it but CHOSE to drink it. The author did great writing something kinky but still consensual, it's that simple. I can enjoy this with a clear consciousness.
Good characters, good pacing, good art, character development, hot sex scenes, CONSENT, cute moments... This one has it all. Instant favorite.
That's not how being intersex works. Labia majora and the scrotum are analogous structures, so it makes no sense for one to have both.
And if he has functioning testicles (as in semen production) then he can't have ovaries btw, because those analogous too. So if he gets pregnant in future chapters that's another misrepresentation..
This had the potential to be a romance that is inclusive to intersexuals (and it could still have sex scenes because sensuality and oversexualization are not the same!), but instead it's just disrespectful.
It's not supposed to be realistic. It's fiction.
Intersexuality is not fiction. Intersexual people are not like vampires or elves who can be portrayed differently by each author.
I wouldn't care if they just went and called it futanari or whatever (although even that is already iffy), but the author called it intersex, which is a real thing, so I will analyze the portrayal of that real thing.
Just because a work is fiction it doesn't mean it can't be realistic in some way. That's an incorrect notion. In literature there's this thing called verisimilitude, which is basically how realistic or believable a plot is.
Even fantasy works can have verisimilitude, the EMOTIONS can be realistic, it's a way for the readers to connect more with the story and the characters. Actually, I know for a fact this would be both angstier AND hotter if the intersexuality was portrayed correctly.
And, well, realistic or not, this comic is just not good and that's that.
Dude chill, nobody takes it seriously
I take it seriously, what's it to you? If YOU don't care then just keep scrolling. You don't need my approval to keep reading slop anyway.
Ur soso right btw u weren't even angry or mad, just pointing out the obvious wrongs and stating facts. If they dont care then they should just keep it to themselves plus the fact that intersex people are more common then redheads but are OFTEN portrayed inaccurately? Like yea this is fictional and a yaoi, but ppl can still give criticism abt the stuff in it, it's informational too
Ok not fully true on that. There have been stupidly extreme rare cases where people are born with both sexual organs active just with a low fertility rate. It’s come from either a mutation during gestation OR fetal consumption where one fetus consumes the other in the womb (more like they fuse into one being). One of the ladies that worked with my mother growing up had two sets of fully working ovaries and found that out when she got pregnant and was STILL having periods. Her daughter had a similar mutation except it was similar to what the guy in this story has. She preferred to be presented as a female but had both genitalia down below and found that both functioned properly. Just her penis was smaller than average and her periods were off.
She had a really low fertility rate in both her sperm count and egg count so it was EXTREMELY difficult for her to have her one child. The main reason for the low sperm count was because her balls were actually pretty small and closer to her body than they should have been.
The only reason I know these things is because she and her mother were very open about it especially with my older sister being her primary doctor and knowing that I was studying in the medical field. Anyway it’s not impossible just HIGHLY unusual. Like a legit one in a million chance. . .no more like one in a billion chance. Her child was perfectly normal. Her siblings were the same one gender. Just her and her mother had the weird quirk.
Calm down.
Nobody said Intersexuality is fiction, only the way it’s portrayed in this Webtoon is fictional.
Like Omegaverse, we know something like Alpha and Omega doesn’t exist but we still read it.
We clearly have to stop taking Fictional stories so seriously.
If you don’t like it, well don’t read it and go in with your life.
I'm very calm actually. Do you not realize you're contradicting yourself? You used omegaverse as an example, that's something that doesn't exist. If they want to write some mpreg bullshit they could just have created a name for that. There's no need to call it intersexuality, the name of a real thing that exists, and therefore sexualize it.
Right? I wrote completely rational criticism begin to end. They could have just downvoted or whatever if they disagree, but they say I should calm down when they're the ones getting all defensive. I guess people on here get heated when we give valid criticism of their slop. I get it, it takes them out of the immersion.
Maybe it's just me, but I think even porn can have good writing, and there's multiple examples on this very site.
The writing in this is soooo bad and the outfits are even worse than what you usually see in comics.
I know this is historical fantasy slop so nothing is accurate, but why are they wearing party city pornified WWII costumes while riding on a great navigations ship? Why is her hair down? Why is she wearing long sleeves with a thigh length skirt? Why is she wearing a skirt AT ALL when she's in the middle of a bunch of sailors who haven't seen a woman in months and when there's a STORM outside? And the combat boots look ridiculous.
Is it too much to ask for artists to research a bit? This is almost as ridiculous and cringy as when westerners draw kimono, hanbok and hanfu incorrectly. When you actually research the historical and practical reasons for why outfits looked a certain way, you don't make this type of mistake.
I know this artist couldn't wrap their head around the idea of having a woman who is supposedly a soldier and sailor wearing pants to protect her legs and keep her hair up so it doesn't get caught on ropes, because that's not hot enough for the porn they're drawing.
This is one of the reasons why I hate "historical" comics, 99% of the time it looks stupid as fuck.
This is trash. The writing is barely passable, the characters are terrible, the plot is boring...
This can't even be enjoyed as porn because it's simply not hot. Even with the censoring I can tell that the artist can't draw dicks right, they are either inverted or have a lump at the base. It looks ridiculous.
Preach
I have the feeling he knew all along.
Low-key, I kinda hope he did but just doesn’t give af lol
sameee because misunderstandig tropes and undercover stuff ends up being too tangled
I love the art. The thing I love the most is how one can tell the characters are asian. Not only that, but they also have a variety of features but still all look asian. No same face syndrome either. The anatomy is also great.
The story is giving me the creeps and the title gives me the feeling it's going to get even creepier (I think someone is going to get killed and their consciousness put into a robot), but I'm sticking through.
The emperor is still taking the side of a woman that lied about being blind, fooled him, embarrassed him, hasn't grown a bump after months... and probably gave him syphilis if this is in any way realistic. He deserves every punishment in the book!
Who cares about how she might be pregnant? Let her give birth under arrest! Why is she parading around the palace and openly scheming against the actual empress? Why is she allowed to be in charge of his HEALTH? She could be a spy for all they know! Did no one see her pour an entire vial on him?
And let's not forget he previously put the liar in charge of the budget for orphanages, hospitals and defense. His subjects would not only lose respect and openly mock him, they would revolt. And then either the other nobles would have him replaced by a regent/his closest relative, or another noble family would do a coup, or the empire would be reduced to ashes.
I totally agree! The only drive that's making me stay till the end despite this story raising my blood pressure is to see his majesty the idiot and Roshitta burn to the ground once karma bites their asses.
That's right. This is ragebait in webtoon format, but I'll stick through to see them suffering, and may it be long and painful.
The bottom was drunk, so unable to consent, and he did say no. It was straight up rape.
The bottom cried again after and said that it hurt, and the top's response was to rape him again, but this time he would make up for it by making him "feel good".
I feel like this had some potential, but those scenes left a bad taste in my mouth.
