ive been saying this the whole time, the author saw how popular manhwas like jinx are and decided to bring this back lmfao greedy ho ig
gang they both gen did hyesung sooooo dirty omg they pmo sm like why cant u js accept his decision??? mind u he was traumatized and had to learn the hard ways and i dont gaf abt his moms reasoning or the dads actions you shouldn’t traumatize ur kid AND UR HUSBAND SHOULDNT GO BEHIND UR BACK W UR FUCKING CHILD???
its me again… i alr said last chapter that this felt a bit non consensual and like this chapter showed more of the consent BUT LIKE FYM “i dont need your consent” ???? thats gen concerning… also i know dubcon and shi exists its js that at some point she is gonna feel as if she needs to let him fuck her so thats still a bit controversial.. anyways again like i said in another comment i read worse and i read the novel and i still rlly like this one but its just that SOME gen see nth wrong w this… also yes the smut was so goodddddd just his line was messed up…
Same that line really got me to stop and think for a bit but yeah ure right about ur whole comment
Very much agree. Gave me the ick but the smut is so good I just pretend he didn’t say that.
i genuinely cried… maybe i’m just a sensitive girly, but so what
i started reading this right after the preview dropped and the first chapter came out. i was already really into BJ Alex back then, so i thought this one was gonna be “good” too. i mean, bj alex wasn’t THE greatest story ever, but at that time it kinda felt like “all” we had so there’s definitely nostalgia attached to it anyways…
Jinx started off really harsh, and from the beginning we saw both sides of who the characters were. over time, most of us started hating jaekyung and pitying dan. but dan wasn’t like those typical weak mcs who stay no matter how badly they’re treated. even though he still loved jae, he packed his things and left. and honestly, that matters. his feelings didn’t magically disappear, but at least he stood up for himself and kept his self-respect.
and while that happened, we slowly started seeing jae’s perspective too. he was narcissistic, aggressive, selfish, abusive but it wasn’t just “his nature.” it was the way life shaped him. obviously that doesn’t excuse anything he did at all, but it explains why he became that way. then he started losing things. dan leaving and no longer chasing after him became the consequence of his own actions.
jae, who grew up around abuse and dedicated his whole life to a career built on violence, finally realized that the way he treated dan WAS abuse. and that realization mattered. he wanted to change, but realistically, people don’t unlearn years of toxic behavior overnight. it takes time.
and dan wasn’t naive either. he noticed the signs, but he didn’t want to interpret them that way because he was trying to protect his own feelings.
now we see jae as someone vulnerable, scared of loss, and emotionally exposed for the first time. and what really got me is that he didn’t try to force dan to stay. he let him go because he believed dan deserved freedom after everything he put him through. that hurt him deeply, and seeing him cry, apologize, admit his wrongdoings, and genuinely ask for forgiveness and THAT is character development.
i genuinely think the storyline and development were really good. dan went from being completely selfless and revolving around his love for jae to finally protecting his own peace and trying to move on. and jae went from this narcissistic, emotionally detached person to someone painfully vulnerable.
and honestly? the ending was actually really good. of course we all wanted more happy relationship moments and softer dynamics, but that’s just mingwa’s storytelling style. the side stories will probably be similar to bj alex too. one part for jae and dan, and another for heesung and potato
anyways sorry for the rant LMAOOO
and btw, before anyone twists my words: i am NOT supporting anything jae did. i’m supporting his growth, self-awareness, and acknowledgment of his actions later on.
THANK YOU! This is exactly how I feel too!
letting go is the hardest act of love. jaes character developed sooo much during all these chapters were now he isn’t thinking just abt himself but abt dan prior. all the damage he did was realized by himself and he is working upon himself. this is such a great line TT
oh pls we have been through this alr(bj slex) CAN WE JS STOP AGHHHHHH
okay so everyone happy she gettin fucked tonight but like… didn’t it feel a bit like non consensual…? like he js started kissing and shi without hesitation and what he said abt her „not getting fucked lately“ was for me more like a „you need punishment to remember who ur husband is“ which is basically like rape? maybe its js me.. i mean yeah u could say at the end she was more into it but still
You’re not exactly wrong. It's giving dubcon but giving the nature of this story I was fully expecting dubcon at some point and I’m mostly sure the others looking forward to the next chapter probably aren't new to dubcon content so that’s not going to stop us from savoring the next chapter
I meannnn, I’m kinda waiting to see how the next chapter goes, cuz it doesn’t really seem like it’s gonna end with dub consent since they took a whole taxi journey together… not really a heat of the moment thing anymore at that point for both of them, please author pleassssse
He held her wrist the hold ride like he wasn’t going to let her get away and now he’s not giving her room to breathe a word of protest so I wouldn't set my hopes too high. I hardly ever see a trigger warning for dubcon they way they do for noncon. Everyone should buckle in and prepare their heart just in case
Happy? Noncon? I mean we already have murderer gore manipulation stockholm syndrome so far, I don't mind adding another one to the list
You so fr
Basically. We know what we signed up for here and it definitely ain't bunnies and rainbows. Anyone uncomfortable now should probably get off this train because we have all been told it gets much worse in the future when he gets his memories back.
Pretty much
Nahh it’s just you
yeah i know i mean i read the novel till idk what chapter and i love the manhwa. i just found it a bit weird how ppl were like cheering and etc like i read a comment saying „it may be noncon but still she gettin dihh“ like thats a rlly weird thing to say ykwim… obv the whole story isnt sum fairytale like i read worse than this
We should wait til the next chapter releases before calling it rape. If fl doesn’t fully consent or/and ml does end up being yk… during the deed then yeah it would be fair to say it’s rape. But honestly I doubt that would be the case because compared to the novel, we see more of her inner monologue during intimate scenes and in the last panel after he sees her expression, he seems more solemn than angrier like he was earlier. Or possibly I could be having too much faith towards the author… which I AM PRAYING is not the case… Also whoever said that comment is genuinely weird bc that’s just gross to say??
her crying at the end was the cherry on top to me sobbing and crying now
im abt to jump the author. like gen ive dried to explain and understand why they would add another season but wth is this? u cannot bring this story back to be relevant by copying most popular manhwas? most of them r built w rape and assault and toxicity. this bitch ass author gen greedy i am done w this. like duh ill read but i am not supporting the author anymore. may they get broke and fail
