Unreliable narration absolutely misses y’all by miles. This man is fucked up, but he’s also absolutely gone on him, you understand that, right? He’s lying to himself. He thinks “I’m manipulating him by opening up to him” bc he needs an excuse lest he face the terrifying fact that he wants so badly to be vulnerable with him. He needs to make it into a situation he feels he is in control of, but the reality is that he likes him so much that it scares him. What scares him he feels like he needs to control. It’s obvious by the interactions and expectations from his family that he is not in control of most of his life.
Doesn’t excuse his actions. It is an explanation though. He needs to get his shit together, obviously, and figure out how to deal with this healthily.
Hii
+1 your pfp checks out (fantastic taste), I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this way. From the way the author setup their backgrounds you'd immediately know to approach the story with attention to nuance. Jinwoo is absolutely an unreliable narrator, and it seems Taeyoung's in the same plight. They're both mired in their own familial issues and are unable to engage healthily with each other. Both would benefit greatly from therapy, but we all know they won't, so I'd settle with their being open with each other (which, unfortunately, would not happen anytime soon).
Honestly nuance and media literacy was never a strong point of yaoi readers sigh I hope the author doesn’t change the narrative style cuz I already see a bunch of people hating after the recent few chapters
THIS.
Ugh so beautifully said, I love your mind
I love you and your beautiful competent mind
Love the username lmaoooo
Thank you, it’s one of my favorite yaois, if not one of my favorite mangas, so you also have fantastic taste for recognizing it ;) and yes, exactly!!!
I am honestly getting rather tired of reading comments from what I call the “Moral Police”, which usually are kids from tiktok who think reading anything with dubcon or rape makes you either a rapist or rape apologist yourself IN REAL LIFE, with little understanding or regard for fiction ≠ morals of the ones reading the fiction, so honestly the fact that most ppl in this comment section have the nuance and unreliable narrative absolutely fly over their heads really should not come as a surprise to me. But it still does, because like. How. How does one not understand these concepts? I fear that the educational system is absolutely failing at teaching correct literary analysis these days...
Like, yes ... But also, it used to be less frought with moral policing and accusations based off of one’s consumption of FICTIONAL MEDIA....
Frfr I feel like a lot of new gen readers are the same people who are TikTok moral police. I see a lot of parallels with the whole ao3 censorship or lack there of discussion but in my opinion I think everyone should just follow the principle of don’t like don’t read. I just don’t understand why people start to act like the pope when their consuming fictional media like come on guys we reading GAY PORN lololol sigh I think everyone just needs to touch some grass and go outside and realise that reading dubcon/noncon is not gonna end the world and in the grand scheme of life it really doesn’t matter
Yes. Just in general to all of this, yes
Love S&M, D/s, BDSM, power bottom, rough sex, etc etc. I also like good relationships, ukes who are super into it, fluff. I do not mind if sex scenes go on for several chapters (sometimes I even prefer it). I've read a lot of them and want to read more, so many kinky yaois are dubcon or straight up rape and I can only handle so much of that before I wanna scream.
I’m dying over here. Parched. Every time I open a new yoai, there’s rape, manipulation, abuse... I just want some good ol’ healthy relationships. There doesn't even have to be a ban on angst! As long as it isn’t because the relationship is shitty and abusive. I’m so concerned with a lot of commenters... They all seem “green flag” means “raped the other person once or several times but now loves him and so he’s nice now!!!” like no honey... That's still a red ass flag bro.
Anyway, if you know of any good, consensual yaoi (preferably with the uke being enthusiastic about sex) then I beg of you to send it my way!
u mightve alr read this but our sunny days was such a fresh breather from all the stereotypical toxic yaoi relationships and season 2 is supposed to come out this year
Kisses x kiss x kisses
