not rape kim dan is a grown ass man who signed a contract n consented, not glorifying jaekyungs actions but how come y'all don't act this way to low tide in twilight, painter of the night, CNA, roses and champagne the list goes on y'all run to get on jaekyungs case lets focus on the bigger issues

I guess its bc jk was harser in personality? Or something like that. I read only some of those youve mentioned, and the only change is that jk is the slowest to "change"

Y’all this is literally the Mingwa special. This is the BJ Alex formula.and in the end it’s iconic and famous for a reason (BJ Alex also being an og in the BL manhwa rise and why she made the same formula for this story). Not saying it’s right but I expected it 100% bc it worked exactly well the first time

??? rape is rape Caesar shot lee won, zhenya drugged raped n kidnapped taekjoo, taeju raped euihyun or wtv his name was I can assure u jaekyung doesn't have the harshest personality. I'm saying jaekyung did not rape kim dan. but seungho,taeju,zhenya,Caesar all raped their bottoms but ppl don't flame them as much as they do jaekyung. reading comprehension is a curse to bl readrs just throwing around the term rape if someone signed a contract and gave consent, their decision making wasn't impaired, they weren't under the influence of alcohol or drugs and is a lehal adult, its not rape. Kim Dan isn't the "precious baby" ppl make him out to be he's a man. anyways even if jaekyung was the slowest to change idgaf he didnt rape nobody sure he's a red flag turned yellow/green n was quote on quote abusive or wtv he's incomparable to those actual rapists. the worst thing jaekyung did was have heesung walk in on kim Xposed w/o him knowing that wasn't okay, wasn't rape, but is not excusable.

it was rape, just bc he signed a contract doesn't mean everything jakeyung does from now is fine
kim dan pleaded for him to 'stop', 'no it hurts', but jakeyung continued. THAT IS RAPE

those stories also include rape, just bc it has 'worse' rape scenes doesn't make this NOT rape, if u think abt in low tide in twilight, the bottom (forgot name) also signed a contract?? does that make what top (also forgot name) did ok? NO

okay no problem ik that now I wont feign ignorance. but my point still stands if we are gonna hate on jaekyung lets hate on the others too.

well if being so caught up in my own head I didn't realize it was I apologize I was wrong I'll admit that

Funny you mention all of those popular titles, because I have not read ANY of them. I am strictly talking about THIS series.

Jinx is literally the old format of BL troupes of rape the ML, treats them like shit, then ML slowly falls in love with after learning he has another side. Jinx is a 2000's BL plot published in a 2020's world.

I'm really interested in what bigger issues we need to focus on other than abuse and rape?

Not trying to be rude but calling BJ Alex an OG BL when it came out in 2017 (⊙…⊙ )

If you're talking about their formula, that worked in 2017, because we had trash selections. I guarantee you Jinx would have been HUGE if it was published 10 years ago, but in this day and age where we have other BL masterpieces, it was disappointing. With this art, it could've EASILY been the best.

Truthfully, I'm mourning the potential this manwha had

if you read what I said, b4 I realized i was wrong, I didn't see jinx as rape, js toxic so I was saying to focus on the manwhas that actually had rape, abuse etc but now that I see jinx is rape (admitting I'm wrong) they're all bad.

I'm glad you were able to see that.

Tbh, there are many BLs that glamorize rape to make it super dubious consent.

I'm not against people reading about fictional rape and abuse, I'm more bothered and concerned by the fact that some fans are so disillusioned that they cannot what is and what isn't consent. Or the fact that they blatantly choose to ignore the red flags and cannot be objective to the facts

yh I was being arrogant smh I kinda didn't want to believe it was rape bc of how long I'd spent arguing that I was right, after 3 years well you can imagine how hard I stuck to the belief that I was right but its okay I learned smth so

When I re-read Love is an Illusion, I finally realized I was in the wrong.

SPOILERS FOR LOVE IS AN ILLUSION:
I always thought Hyesung was so trash for leaving the baby, but after re-reading years later, he was not in the wrong. Dojin was always the one jumping him. Maybe it was because Hyesung was not entirely likeable because he was a little dumb and whiny, but the fact remains he was the victim this entire time. I just felt he was annoying and didn't read it from an objective lens. Now a few years later, Dojin is definitely a red flag, and we forgive it (or ignore it) since he seems to be so doting.

END OF SPOILERS

Really made me realize how the time, and perspectives can change :)

Hars in personality means his actions. Yes, showing his vulnerable side without his knowing to other ppl is one of it. 24/7 yelling. Almost 80 chapters IGNORING "no" and "please stop". Yes.
And as i said i only read some of that fully out of those that the first commenter mentioned. It matters that soneones a dick for some chapters overall or throughout the whole fucking manhwa. And every top raped their bottoms, period. That is not the one you should measure.

i agree on this, i hate all of them

Do you know when BL MANHWA started getting popular… I have been reading BL since like 2009, it was ALWAYS manga back then but Manhwa didn’t start getting popular until late 2010s

You can literally see when BL Manhwa started getting popular: https://www.reddit.com/r/boyslove/comments/umaqdb/i_made_a_bl_timeline_of_popular_works_from/ Killing Stalking really brought BL Manhwa attention but is of course controversial violent and mainly shock, BJ Alex absolutely was the first big popular one hand in hand and was ABSOLUTELY more palatable. It put the genre, and Min*wa on the biggest stage, the genre became big because of it and to doubt that is uneducated. Jinx is literally the second biggest BL manhwa EVER, and it would NOT have gotten that big on pure art and story alone - the fact that so many people stayed to read through the shyt you discussed here is a FULL testament to people reading BJ Alex and wanting the redemption arc she did so well in BJ Alex

Girl, I've also been reading since 2008 too (junjou romantica era LOL).

I usually just group all BL in one category, but if you are talking about BL manwha specifically then yes, it was one of the older titles for sure.

I mainly read through jinx because art was nice, and there were a lot of memes about it. I feel a lot of manwha author's work don't really have as much consistency as manga authors tbh, so I read them separately from each other and don't expect the same thing as BJ Alex.

I still feel that Jaekyung did too much for him to be redeemable. If he was like 20% less of an asshole, then it might have been perfect. His sobstory "redemption" arc was good, his remorse was good, but his behavior was too damaged. What would you give jinx then? Again, I really wanted it to be good

Also, do you remember reading BL fanfiction on livejournal?
