Ik this is not a serious story at all but I’m kind of invested in the mess. My personal favorite is Taeha because I love his character design and I love a stronger gap moe personality like that. But. Aside from that on a more objective note- they are all terrible and MC also needs to realize he doesn’t need to do these things at every given chance it is a smut story so ofc he does but still lmao. Kyungtae is painted as a green flag but I wouldn’t say that entirely. He pressured MC into all that after the swimming lessons and in reality his actions are still creepy, he just tries to make it seem better by showing “restraint” but he does it anyway so…I also hate how he has a superiority complex over the other two when he is literally doing the same thing when it comes down to it. Obviously I’m not saying Taeha is a green flag but at least he is straight forward with who he is lol and I like how he has more dynamic to his feelings rather than Kyungtae’s blind crush. The author fr doesn’t gaf so that’s prob why it’s like that. And Juwon…fuck juwon.
This is exactly what I don’t understand. The MC is shown sleeping with different people, and most of the MLs are aware of it. He’s single, none of them are actually his boyfriends at that point, and he isn’t betraying anyone. I actually like that he has had different experiences because it makes him feel more experienced and different from the usual MCs. So why are people so fucking fixated on calling him a “slut”?
And I’m not saying all the MLs are manwhores. Kyungtae is clearly a virgin, so he obviously doesn’t count. But the other two aren’t exactly innocent or inexperienced either, and it’s completely possible they’ve slept with other people before. The story revolves around the MC, so naturally we see more of his experiences than theirs. Not being shown doesn’t mean it never happened. We simply don’t know their entire sexual history.
What makes the double standard even more ridiculous is that there are plenty of famous, highly rated “green-flag” BLs where the ML is literally a manwhore with a sexual past while the MC is a virgin. Yet nobody constantly slut-shames the ML. Everyone just goes, “It’s his past, so what?” and moves on. So why can’t you apply that exact same standard here? If a manwhore ML’s past can be dismissed as “just his past,” then why is the MC’s sexual history suddenly a reason to call him a slut? You can dislike him or his choices, but constantly reducing him to that while giving MLs a free pass is just a blatant double standard. Why are you people so fucking fixated on him?
YES EXACTLY
This to me feels like repackaged misogyny. The way we shame women for having a large body count but praise men for "getting bitches". Bls often do this thing where they effeminate the bottoms, they're a man only in appearance while the story treats them like every stereotypical fl. I love love love stories where the MC is sex positive and is shown to have multiple consensual partners, after all we're reading for the smut, why are we limiting the spectrum of one of the main subjects of the story?
This also affects how we view such stories. There's nothing inherently bad about enjoying erotica, but placing the restriction of a traditional monogamous relationship on a fictional character and shaming them for it just reiterates every single point purity culture has ever made about womem
Honestly it’s not bad but it’s not super great either. I enjoyed reading the beginning, but the plot felt kinda empty after that. Even the undercover/gang aspects weren’t super detailed (mostly predictable). I mean it is only 45 chapters so you can’t expect too much to begin with. I think the characters should’ve had a more developed back story or something because I thought their history in high school was interesting but they didn’t go into it much. 6.5/10
This story is actually so peak. The art and directing of the spicy scenes is just perfect (I don’t like their first time going all the way together bc I thought the author would make it good instead of the usual nc vibe but oh well). I love when a plot has angst but equally good romance. It also has genuinely funny dialogue which is rare imo. I need to see Yihyeon (the other cop’s name?) with someone because I love him sm. Lowk I can see him being with Baek. They moved past the reveal of Yihyeon being saved back then a little too fast. I wanted to see more of an interaction between Jin and him. Still I’m excited to see where this goes. Tbh it feels like a lot of the development has already happened so hopefully it isn’t one of those rushed ending short stories










he is actually such a green flag i love this, so refreshing these days
