heavy trigger warning
-zhenya rapes taekjoo whiles hes drugged
thats inly up to chapter 37
read a comment thats a bit further down and it has some more info on what happens in later chapters
I'm just adding to the spoiler
After ch 37
Zhenya left Taekjoo to die but her survived because Taekjoo's real partner came to the rescue.
Surprise surprise his real partner was the Russian dude that Taekjoo thought to be Psikh
Zhenya has always been aware that Taekjoo is a spy the moment he stepped into Russia
I can't remember how but Zhenya ends up kidnapping Taekjoo and keeping him in a private island
Do you know the saying "If you love everyone, then you love no one".
We can also say "if you eat everything, then you appreciate nothing".
Showing no boundaries, no limits and specificity just tell how little we have interest in something, in the end. I really liked this Manhwa, the action, the intrigue... till this straight episode out of nowhere, and I'm not the only one. Did you see people telling they're dropping this reading?
uncooked pasta helpp
no i definitely agree w you that the mc is very clearly straight, ive expressed in other comments how much i hate zhenya too.
im just looking at it from a pure smut pov, and i found that scene hot in the novel.
trust me ive got boundaries and im probably going to drop this manhwa entirely once the later chapters come out, since i despise the assault trope(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
He'll be made less straight, but how? I wish so much for a genuine attraction.
Can't Zhenia just say, "See, I don't know what I'm feeling but I'm feeling weird since I've met you. Can't you just let me fuck you once?" And hop, they fuck, and we'll all be happy.
See, if you leave and since I've dropped this one, there will be no one left T_T
I understand well why authors is showing these het sex - for the unspoken sexual tension- though despite my efforts to see it trhough that lense it still bothers me. I'm not as good as you guys to cancel this part of my brain and only appreciate the smut for what it is.
The coming arc will be another blow to this small community, I'm telling you. Why so much violence...?
THISSSSS
im so mad that this story is literally just gonna be taekjoo getting with zhenya bc he was raped, i honestly just want a story that has the mafia and action to it but a couple where the mc isnt going through hell. i love the art, but the way their “relationship” progresses and actually forms is so gross and annoying
i honestly cant bring myself to read anything about sexual assault, once i read it i feel so icky and gross
Ha, yeah... I see what you mean. Because from being straight to be plainly raped non stop to almost die from this, where's my BL romance in this ocean of darkness?
If we like that it'll feel like we condone or accept the violence and it's not alright.
I like for the ML to being a bit toxic and mysterious and obssessive over MC, but not to that extend of treating him like a sex doll. I didn't read the novel yet but hope Zhenia has a good reason why he acts like a criminal. Maybe horror tag should be added?
Beautiful saying. When we are asked to love everything without any standard, to love regardless of whether something has any value or virtue, we are asked to love nothing
I don't understand why the authors and artist are showing the "straight" scenes. If it's to build tension, a chapter should have been enough. 4 chapters and counting is overdoing it
Thanks, and I'm agree with you. PLus show me BLs with het scenes that are so numerous and graphic, you'll count them on two hands.
Even in Man of the Night, and with the kind of job the protagonists have, there is no such straight scenes, such rawness depicted. This is pitiful, I was looking forward so much to that title... This is making me sad.
Why can't some people don't do the effort the understand a bit why we're bothered?
Even Jinx doesn't have any "straight" scenes. The characters aren't perfect, I know, but they are going through emotional and behavioral changes. Jaekyung started to have a soft spot for the small, helpless Dan. Compared to Anastasia, Jinx and Painter of the Night are far more memorable
It's insecurity. These people have lost their everloving minds. They know they are in the wrong, they are angry about that, and take it out in our online encounters to make themselves feel better
I agree that these Yaoi don't have straight scenes. Both Seungho and JK are gay, and like I told, BL authors know well what pleases and what will displease the yaoi readers; they're not suicidal nor masochist.
TBH I really like the concept of Codename Anastasia and while I like also POTN for the historical and master-painter concept, I think Codename Anastasia has the potential to be such a big hit. But it isn't, for the very reasons we both know. Some readers have dropped it, guess for what.
Jinx, sorry to say, but has a cliché plot (to me) that leaves me neutral about it. Its strong points is the art and the author being the one who made BJ Alex.
I wouldn't be bothered by the straight sex if these were kept to a minimal, and not 4 chapters with focuse on the private parts.
The cocaine, the kid jerking off and the black guy?????? This just pure ass mane
Nah fr like I don't understand why mangakas like to show when teens jerk off for the first time or get the first wet dream thing
There was this other manga that made me so grossed out I stopped reading it completely because the mangaka drew a "nip slip" on the uke when he was freaking 12 year old and the seme was 5 JESUS CHRIST WTF is wrong with some of these people
Is that from muri marriage? If so the context is actually that the seme got embarrassed from the nip slip because he actually thought that the uke is a girl and seeing a nip slip is somewhat "oh I shouldn't have seen that thing" thing the semester was just embarrassed he saw the Ukes nipple nothing more bro
Bring back the chair
Took me way too long to understand you meant the bzz bzz chair
YES LMAO
