I was lied to. Why tf was this on a reading list described as fluffy and cute. This shit was fucking nasty. I gave it a chapter and a half trying to see if it gets any better since it has such a high rating. I had to tap out because what the actual fuuuuuuuckkkkkk who here is rating this so high I'm actually pissed off y'all have issues and should be nowhere near children online or in person
In terms of plot... there's none lmao. In terms of art it's fine. Really just a short read with good looking sex scenes and no substance and that's ok
But I can't help but feel sad for the uke and his life. He was basically groomed at a young age, making him think the only way to get validation and love from other men was through sex. He became hypersexual because it was the only way he had learned to receive affection and the predatory men used his desire for love to prey on his body. When all the poor guy wanted was to be loved!
Then comes along a man who literally imprisons him and constantly rapes him. In uke's mind this is the highest form of affection and he feels cherished even though these are objectively disgusting acts. This is basically the equivalent of what happens to the girl in the 'Metamorphosis' porn manga but as a BL, except that one ended on a sad note of reality while this one will probably end with both characters in a weird happy state with the situation
I'm just feeling sad that people are hating on the uke so fiercely when he is literally a victim throughout the story :/ The seme literally has everything else going perfectly well in his life (money, popularity, could easily get a partner if he wanted) except the scars on his arm. And that is no excuse to rape someone!!! He's only pissy from his superiority complex he inherited from his father (mf daddy issues strikes again). He was also weird back in highschool too because it is true that he was creepily staring at uke in the bathroom!
BAscially the point of this long rant/psychoanalysis was if I see one more person hating on uke I will defend! #justicefortherapevictim!!!! (/TДT)/
juSeon's arm was ripped apart. His arm is literally gone. It said there were no flesh left. And he has to have multiple surgeries to remove the scar. I don't think you've ever experienced a severe injury like that. No nerve endings and no muscles in your arm. I'm surprised he can still use that arm. Constant throbbing pain from the injury.
I feel that people who want this to be a bl or yaoi are completely missing the point. Seeing Yuri's struggles with being a designer in a more patriarchal world is a really enjoyable and important aspect of the story. Without it the story would not be the same. Every time Yuri or the Queen manage a win against the repressing societal expectations I get an overwhelming feeling of happiness and pride in being able to see these characters grow and gain further support. The romance and funny/fruity gender confusion ensuing is a bonus but it doesn't need to be a bl to be a meaningful beautiful story
Not the side story saying ppl were super conservative and suffering ptsd as the reason for in person school lmaoo Maybe ppl just wanted to connect with others offline godamn. I like the internet as much as the next but that's such a chronically online take lol
(Just found this funny lol still love the story <3)
