If you wanna read this so bad, just skip the S1-S2 or the first 56 chapters. Or you can just jump read to S3, even tho you still need to read until ch 70 something for the lovey dovey domestic story.
Nothing can justified what Taeju did to Euihyun, especially in ch 54-56. Well actually it's almost half of this manhwa. How can you reread this without skipping ch 1-56. Those chapters were hard to read omg
Don't make me start about ch 64, ch 84-85. I dislike Taeju a lot. I dislike how most "dominant" character personality always pictured as manipulative, coercive, forcing and cannot respect their s.o decisions, obstinate, and sadly it's common in yaoi.
I almost dropped this and now finished reading (hardly), yet my opinion for this story still the same. Shitty, bad plot and character development. Sorry not sorry.
SA and force "beneficial" relationship turned into love?
What a crappy trope and overrated story. I wonder why some of people said they wanna be with a person like Taeju. Tf y'all thinking daymmnn If I were Euihyun I'd hate Taeju so much. He got stabbed didn't cover any Euihyun suffering.
The only thing I can understand why Euihyun able to have feelings for Taeju is because he has no one to rely on. Taeju is the only one who cares about him and Euiyoung. Still, Euihyun deserve better.
It's not even about being a new reader or weak reader whatsoever. I've been reading yaoi manga manhwa manhua for a looonnggg time, SA is SA. How weird some people love to justify rape or SA in bl/yaoi. Just say you like the trope and don't invalidate people who dropped this.
Not accepting SA in a story doesn't mean they're weak. Also, the comments actually helped people to know what kind of story they're gonna read. Let people comment whatever they want and you still can reread your fav story many times you want cuz it's not gonna change your opinion anyway. These comments cannot change the story either. Goshhh why some of you all being defensive and offended? There's SA (a lot) in this story and it's a fact that you cannot just brushed off tho.
I just did that but Imma read the full thing soon
i was about to comment the same thing and your perfectly encapsulated my thoughts and disgust for this series
it genuinely shocked me that people supported taeju, the bar is set so much lower and feed off from the smallest crumb and label it a development or something of the sort as an excuse to justify the actions.
its the one thing i extremely disliked about bl series’ is that a majority of the relationship foundation is always based off of SA and/or coercive sex.
So far the plot are similar with the novel storyline. Tbh I wish the ending for the manhwa ver is gonna be different than the novel-_-
Yes hope he escaped and start a new life
What happened at the end of the novel?
Happy rapist's ending
I just finished reading this. I enjoyed reading this until that specific part of the story. Why is rape being normalized in yaoi? What I found weird in this story, there are no punishment for what Caesar did to Leewon. Not even sorry until the end. First he raped him, second he guilt tripped him by attempted suicide (slicing his own neck), and many forced behaviors he did to Leewon. Yet they're just move on. Crazyyyyy
I know it's a mafia romance story but damn Idk Caesar is a black flag cuz many people seems to like and adore him. That's why I give this story a chance and read it until the end. It would be a better story if there's no sexual violence. I thought there's gonna be a punishment arc whatsoever but meh. Not even a character development. A little surprised that I'm able to finish reading this. Beside that, Dimitry irked me, I think Mikhail is cute, Leewon almost perfect for me but he's too forgiving to Caesar, and I kinda have a crush on Vladimir lol
Fr. As much as I feel like I’m gonna get cancelled for saying this, I was kinda rooting for Vladimir to actually win Leewon’s heart because there is NO WAY any sane person would continue loving the one that raped them for a week. (I mean, probably someone who thinks that this is “just their unique way of showing love ”)
Also I agree that Dimitri was hella weird. I mean, he was kind of fine when he didn’t have that ugly “cutie” look and act on, but overall his behavior towards Caesar was screaming incest to me so loudly that it made me wonder, what actually goes on in Dimitri’s mind when he sees Caesar?? Does he just feel super protective or is he actually in love with Caesar???
Instead of communicate like a normal person, Haesoo choose to runaway the 2nd time he met Dogeon. Still on ch 12 yet I already annoyed af...
What's "romantic" and good if some parts the story about SA / rape and forced relationship?? I've read this until ch 25 and I don't really enjoy reading this. Imagine your life already so hard then someone taking advantage of your situations and used your body in exchange of "better" life such as house, work, and money, etc. I'm gonna read some more chapters before decided to drop this or not. Cuz I read in the comments some people re-reading this and seems to love this story.
i understand what you mean, i did actually drop this one point in time because of the rape only to return due to curiosity but i did end up liking it a lot after pushing through, just wish the rape would of stayed out of it
Really? then maybe I should give it a chance..
Honestly same I dropped (all this happened a long time ago) around the same chapter but I kept going because people kept saying it gets better and it really does especially during the side stories they really feel like one big happy family. I’m one who tries to stay clear from SA and selling your body but this is my one exception and I’m happy it is. So I would say read it but it all comes down to you
Beautiful story, beautiful art.. omg where can I read similar story like this one.. (T^T)♡♡♡♡♡
Glad I read this when it's already completed with side stories cuz I can't imagine how stressful I'm gonna be when I'm waiting for the next chapter.
For a gangster's son, Hamin are weak and dumb af omg it's so irritating reading this. I'm still on ch 7 but I'm thinking twice to read the next ch. I'm gonna read some ch before drop this one
Daaaayyymmm soo gooodd
Buff uke and pretty seme♡♡
