rereading right now (on chapter 23) and the whole scene with taeyoung and his friend is so fucking goooood. 1, that is such a good friend to tell ty straight up, “your privilege is showing” and that “he works this much because he HAS too.” i think one the biggest strains in their relationship is the way they have such different perspectives on life, because they walk completely different ones. it’s really beautiful to me because as the story goes on and they continue to get gradually more vulnerable with each other they’re able to empathize with and understand each other on a deeper level. i love this story sorry holy yap. the dubious consent in the first couple chapters i have to shut my brain off and pretend that didn’t happen… truly inexcusable behavior however im so glad the author never wrote it in again (i think(?) again i’m rereading ok ))
Likeee and now the author is slowly showing TY backstory.. the fact that he also used to be poor is lowk insane coming from his mouth
ugh im so glad someone gets it, I can't stop rereading this one
yeah the bottom genuinely needs to just fucking leave he’s acting so childish when he knows what he’s doing is wrong, the top keeps on subtly challenging his sexual advances and even outright says stop. i’m hating this so much right now. why did this go on for two whole chapters. grown ass adult can’t regulate his emotions and takes it out by sexually harassing his partner. awesome. pls enough im so sick of this and i love this story this is just ugh
Remember they have this arrangement, right? That’s why he told him to use the safe word if he didn’t want it. That’s basically how it worked from the start between them, he’s always got that way out technically speaking
i still think that even with a safeword it’s obvious that he wasn’t into it/ scared.. i do understand what you’re saying it’s just i often put myself into the characters positions and i feel like because the top thinks he’s “disposable” he wouldn’t say the safeword anyways (if that makes sense?? lmk if not) but i understand their whole agreement, i just still feel icky knowing the bottom is taking out his frustrations on the top, even if he’s deriving pleasure from it yk?
i think confused was a better word instead of scared, (sorry about that!) i just wish they would talk at an intense time such as this
To both your replies- I gotta agree. I mean, let’s be real for a moment, even in such arrangements/relationships they’ve had it’s not 0 or 100. Not like when you don’t like something etc you’re supposed to throw the safe word in like some salt sprinkled on French fries. They usually have the colored lights system and similar (green-yellow-red) that portrays the dynamic and actual reality better and is more accurate and useful.
In any case, they should just saw “hey hey hey, hold your horses here” bc it’s some major mess and both need to communicate and find some solutions.I seriously wish it was like that in any story and any relationship, I really damn do, but people are just lxjxxjsbsdnskdjjss so mf annoying, difficult, and utterly stupid about these stuff that I often just roll my eyes and remind myself to touch grass
i appreciate this, i thought i was going crazy? for me, i often put myself in the characters shoes a lot of times specifically with this manga bcs i feel a kinship with the male lead and so im like okay wait be nice to him like yes he is a grown adult and knows his boundaries, but i still felt icky reading! gosh forbid.. and i completely agree with the safeword commentary!
why are you guys being dense i get that the story has been going on for quite some time now, but it’s genuinely not hard to follow? if you need to reread just say that, it’s okay.. i did before this season started. the plot is literally just thickening pls guys stay with me now
RIGHT
Lol please I've never seen an elitist BL reader. No need to be rude and belittle other readers!! Ok Maddie sama remembers but us stupid people need refreshers :((
some of us have lives and aren't constantly remembering a bl story's plot.. no need to be rude
the only thing I don't agree with is calling people dense that is NOT nice but otherwise it's a good point from OP
like it's normal to have issues with following and remembering the plot of the manwha that releases 3 times a month. I definitely have those at this point but probably reread once things get finally better
but yes, you can always reread or simply ask questions in the comments it's fine a lot of people are willing to explain things which is actually rad
Why defend OP who's just being rude..... People can ask questions without being called dense imo. and the "genuinely not hard to follow" ? Jfc
i should have prefaced by saying this for the people saying that the plot is going nowhere when in reality it’s been pretty plot driven the entire time, and i did say that i needed a refresher, im sorry i came off that way i just wanted to defend the author
agreed! after doing research i realize now that dense is a horrible term, i was simply ignorant on how it’s used to belittle ppl with disabilities, and moreover i definitely could have used less harsher diction :/ thank you for being kind
i stated that i had to reread as well? but i apologize for my choice of words, i didn’t think about the connotation of the word, nor how rude and standoffish it would appear i was being. again i really am sorry, i don’t like fighting on here
i should have said i was addressing the people who were saying the plot is losing direction, i have no problem when people ask questions! and i don’t think they were defending me but rather critiquing me and sharing their opinions. i don’t think it’s hard to follow and i mentioned this to highlight the authors good writing but i see that came off as extremely rude especially when paired with my “dense” comment. again, i apologize and will word things better in the future
I agree that the story is well written too and I def don't agree with people saying that the plot is being lost !! Thank you for being transparent and apologising, sorry for being on the defensive side also!
this thread has healed something in me <3
Sameee o(╥﹏╥)o I hope in any platform or even any stories here in mango, they would be like them♡
