Can a novel reader please spoil now on earth these 2 wind up together. Because being drugged, violently raped (ML even contemplating raping MC to death), and then being killed (attempted but ML thought it succeeded) all seem like real breakers to me. Without mind break or stalkholme syndrome there really is no believable way. I NEED spoilers.
They could make the “met as kids” coincidence less contrived if the entire reason Jin became a prosecutor/works with police is because of what happened to the twins. If they’re both trying to solve related mysteries, thus leading them toward the same local, then it would make more sense and feel less forced for them to meet again.
I’m thinking the guy who hurt the twins either got off suuuuper light or completely scott free. MC hunting him down for revenge and maybe Jin doing the same but to either find the twins or give the evil man the sentence he deserved…. Super wishful thinking on my part though.
If it’s “have sex with me or lose your job” or anything where the person in power is using that power to coerce someone of a lower position into sleeping with them… that’s rape. The seme is toxic and no better than the boys who raped MC. He constantly ignores how much MC hates sleeping with him, how much MC obviously dislikes pain, and is overall miserable in this situation. He only cares about getting himself off and forcing his sexual preferences on a partner he knows won’t say no to him due to the power imbalance. This is not consensual BDSM and this is not good representation of BDSM. Cannot believe there are people in the comments defending the seme.
And I doubt the author intended this, but it seems less like the MC is falling for ML and more like he’s mind breaking given the way ML keeps triggering his trauma and abusing him, with Mc seeing no way out other than giving up his job. Which is the only thing holding up his self worth at this point, and even that is going away.
Really wish Rashta would do a 180 and focus all her efforts on humiliating the emperor now that she knows he only ever saw her as a tool, and start purposefully trashing the royal family’s legitimacy, ultimately leading to the internal destruction of this pro-slavery nation.
I’m amazed the MC was able to chase after the ML for so many chapters considering he has no spine. It’s incredible the things one can do with the power of delusion.
Checked the raws and it’s yet more adults acting horny teenagers with 0 brain cells. Going forward it’s going to be 90% fucking, 5% plot, and 5% bullshit. I will never understand why authors choose adult characters when they clearly don’t know how to write someone who has matured past puberty.
Why did the author romanticize selling off children as literal sex slaves? It’s disgusting how happy go lucky they tried to make forced sexual slavery of CHILDREN. Actually makes my stomach queasy.
Once she finally leaves him after realizing what a pos he is. Until then it’s just a naive girl being naive, nothing special enough about her characterization for me to tolerate yet another awful husband taking advantage of his poor, doe of a wife for 100+ chapters. *sigh*
Author really had the MC go “The only way to heal Barney’s heart is to let him torture and rape all he wants with no repercussions, how else can he know I care if I don’t let him brutally assault to the point of passing out from blood loss?” Uuuum, what happened to the MC we started with? Before he would have knocked some sense into mage boy and talked him through it. Or kept shutting down his rape attempts and continue to use his words. They really decided there wasn’t enough fucking in this fuck fest and had the MC’s brain fucked out of his skull because he no longer can hold a consistent characterization or rational thought. ALSO how was that brutal assault scene between MC and Barney NOT considered a “bad end” it was just as awful as those “dreams.” ALSO ALSO how does he know how awful these people CAN be due to reading the novel and the dreams and not hold an ounce of suspicion for them? How was this man a teacher when he clearly wouldn’t be able to pass a fifth grade literature class, let alone college. BUH. This started out with potential but the writing just keeps getting worse and the pacing is awful. I want to like it I do, but it’s impossible with this kind of inconsistent characterization and hypocritical morals. I don’t think it knows what kind of story it wants to tell anymore.
The manga was like we’ll make the alpha a green flag, but it’s omegaverse, SOMEONE has got to get raped. So the omega rapes the alpha for actually no reason other than rape being some kind of requirement for writing omegaverse. Why man, it’s such an unnecessary blemish on an otherwise decent story.
Like, what was the point here? Were we supposed to wish for the happiness of a homewrecker? Dude knew he was married AND having a baby and still decided to sleep with him. And what was the seme even attracted to? The uke’s pretty face and cheating ways? Really wish in these stories the wife would find out. Like this is so shitty. None of them deserve to be happy.
I didn’t like Taeju using sex to pressure Euihyun into living with him. Wish Taeju had actually stopped when asked and Euihyun realize he didn’t want it to stop instead of Taeju telling him, and Euihyun be the one to ask him to keep going. Yes it was hot, but it felt like a bit of a backtrack after the promise not to do anything Euihyun didn’t like anymore.
This author needs to examine their internalized homophobia for real. Having a preference is fine. But when you belittle your partner by saying the role they constantly take on “makes you feel sick”, say that bottom is the “woman’s role”, making the bottom ask for forgiveness and be the one to bend for daring to want to try something new, no compromise just give the seme whatever he wants and get away with his toxic behavior… Now THAT makes me feel sick.
It comes across like the author doesn’t view men who bottom as “men” as chapter 3 almost feels like it’s scolding the bottom for wanting to take on the “man’s” role.
Why do authors feel the need for taking hot, buff protags and throwing them into weak ass twinky bodies that we see in almost every single BL/yaoi? I just don’t get it. Also the trend of these pure hearted, strong guys being reincarnated into not only a twink, but the resident hoe? Like it’s happened in MULTIPLE stories. Probably one of the worst tropes. If they HAVE to be reincarnated at least make it a similar body? Or let it actually be a fresh start instead of actually possessing someone else who has already lived for a while?
Genuinely lost any interest in this story after learning about the twist. Makes me wish I had never even started it so I couldn’t be disappointed.
I don’t feel bad for the uke. He had sex in public and he did sleep with people for investments. He 100% deserved to be fired from his first company. It’s understandable there would no longer be faith in his abilities and everyone who saw that article passed around would suspect all of his achievements came from sleeping his way to the top. He dug his own grave.
The interesting part is going to be seeing how this character climbs out or if he keeps digging lower, because it’s looking like the pattern is going to repeat itself. Because accepting that 10mil for sleeping with an investor is the easy way out. Instead of proving his skills by securing multiple investors with his persuasion and genuine belief in the product, sleeping with that guy is quick and easy. Would love to see him reject the offer and actually prove his skills don’t just lie in the bedroom. But we’ll see next season.
This desperately needs a sequel bc for now the uke WILL run at the first sign of societal pressure. He hasn’t really even done anything to apologize to the seme for basically calling him a freak. Did we even get an “I’m sorry”? No. Very unsatisfying.
They really ruined their own story by casually throwing in the cheating with the ex. Now all I want is the wife to find out and divorce him. Like it was so unnecessary it’s crazy. “I realized I love my wife after cheating on her.” Um ew, gross? And uke is gross too for sleeping with a married man.
