there's a sprinkle of daddy issues in this for sure, i just can't prove it yet
You wouldn't need much proof to prove it lololol
Out of all the chapters, I enjoyed Cheolho's backstory the most. He's not even a violent child yet his parents gave up on helping him as if he's an uncontrollable psycho or something. He directly asked for help, he tried to be what they wished he was, he just wanted to be loved. I personally think he deserves better than Jintae. If he had a better environment, he could've been a green flag lover.
Jintae clearly has some internalized homophobia. Probably why he's okay with this relationship once he got a pussy. But the speed in which he goes from "FUCK CHEOLHO!!" to "I'm in love with him, I need him with me." really threw me off. Even back in highschool, his "love" for Cheolho is so shallow, I can't accept it as Jintae being too in love to hate Cheolho.
That manipulation power fell into the WORST hand possible. Fuck, I hate this predator so much. Even the mention of his name gives me a headache. I'm glad that even his brother is sick of his ass. He should be put in solitary confinement. Sicko.
I've read countless manhwas where the male lead has hypnosis/mind control/time stopping power that lets them take advantage of hot women around them. It's so refreshing to see a female MC enjoying similar powers!
A WOMAN IN A MALE DOMINATED FIELD FR
That lady who was too considerate to give the letter Hayato wrote to Touma literally accidentally caused a generational curse. Touma wouldn't have been so distraught if he knew the real reason Hayato chose to not run away with him.
I don't get into stories for a happy ending so I didn't mind how fucked up this cliffhanger was. It's character accurate for the seme honestly.
Yoshiki has BEEN hoping for Tsukasa's downfall because he feels insecure as an Alpha. He carried that resentment for years, probably knew what he's doing would change Tsukasa into an Omega, kept pretending it's 'love' because he knew Tsukasa was all about fated pairs back then, and now baby trapping Tsukasa so his family would DEFINITELY be ashamed of him.
The power dynamic was already fun and interesting between them, the author could've just escalated with Oono himself growing dependant on Kureshima's narrations rather than inserting an SA scene to prove Kureshima's attraction to Oono. Had a lot of potential but after the SA, things are all poorly paced and leave me unsatisfied.
This is the first time that I wished I was the uke while reading. His switch up while in bed is what I LIVE for!!
i'm genuinely losing my mind at how hot he is as a sub AND a dom. like, how is that even fair. how did he tick off every single box in my 'ideal type' list so easily?!!
Kang Jun played the victim card so well that almost everyone here failed to see that he's not that good of a person to begin with. He befriends people with selfish intent, he puts up an act so he can remain relevant and respected in social circles, he's as shallow as he claims himself to be and sees only what he wants to see.
I felt bad for him at first about what happened between him and Junwoo (that fucking asshole). Then once everything went to shit and people were bullying Taesan, he spoke up only when he thinks it's the optimal time for him to look like a good guy and only because he believed Yohan would back him up, boosting his social status.
When he was at Yohan's family home, he assumes that he's doing a good deed without thinking. He just assumed shit, thinking: "Yes, I'm FINALLY the person above Yohan, holding out my hand to someone so helpless." When Yohan freaked out and showed that he hated what Kang Jun did (doesn't excuse Yohan's aggression but only those who lived their whole life with a shitty family like that would understand the rage), all Kang Jun thought was "Oh I did something good but this is what I get, oh my feelings, oh poor ME. ME ME ME!!!"
He's pissing me off.
He's realistic though. I feel like people these days forget even we all aren't saints.
I'm not saying what he's doing isn't realistic or smart but people seem to act like he's a pure victim or something.
I do agree that Kang Jun is not a great person and his actions towards other characters are very upsetting. Especially how he couldn’t understand how much he hurt Yohan with the dinner scene. But- No matter how bad of a person you are, even if you aren’t the initial victim, nothing justifies borderline grape. What they needed was communication. And was Yohan not in his right mind? Yes. He’s a victim to an insane amount of trauma. But trauma doesn’t justify violence. I have been placed in a seriously bad home environment as a child, words I won’t speak here, but I wouldn’t dare harm someone in such a way. I’m not sure any amount of “sorry” could make up for what they have both done to one another. It’s just not healthy.
I’m going to say that most people like this you will find yourself similar either completely or slightly, every one is somewhat selfish that is just our psychology we can’t change it but we can be better jun is a very good example of what most of us look like when there are no consequences of thinking what we what (because there are none if we don’t voice our thoughts) he’s human albeit rude but he’s also a teenage boy who cares too much in a superficial society IN high school cut him some slack I think Yohan might be worse
