everytime Gyeol opens his mouth, ik i'm gonna hear some BULLSHIT
When it's shit from the butt but the shit lowkey taste good
Wait I wanna add another thing, yaoi authors are OBSESSED with adding a white or very pale skinned characters to their works for some reason. Like this actually could’ve been such an interesting premise if they made it an Indigenous man x Black man. But then again, lots of yaoi authors don't know how to draw Black ppl… An additional note, just because some stories have diversity doesn’t mean that POC need to eat it up. When ppl complain about lack of diversity that doesn’t mean give us the bare minimum and get mad when we don’t wanna have it. NOTHING is creative about a basic slave x master plot. BWAT should also get flack but the same ones who defend this, also defend that…
Let me first say this, for any other POC who wanna come on here, just because you have Iraq/Assyrian cultural roots or any other racial background, doesn't give you the right to try and play oppression olympics with Black and Indigenous people who THIS story actually affects. If you want people to talk about an ISIS bride having a slave, user Angie, then actually SPEAK UP. Stop relying on Black/Indigenous people to speak for you because trust, no one knows about this since it seems like you only want to bring it up to defend a mediocre yaoi. If this is so much of a fictional story user Angie (and everyone who agrees with them), then why waste your time writing a paragraph trying to defend it?
And I think the most funniest thing is how dumb some ppl are getting on here to cry about how "everyone is canceling this author but no one ever says anything about other authors, this must mean you’re performative activists". Let me be the one to tell you, from what I've seen, this author has a fandom. One side of this fandom are mature people who know how to put their words to use, and the other side... are porn brained ngas who eat up shit given to them on a plate.
The reason why other authors don't get this flack is because their fandoms are filled up of ppl in the second group, the ppl with major porn addictions who can't put the yaoi down for even a second, AKA all the ppl who are trying to defend this. Get Schooled is a racist Korean webtoon that everyone fought tooth and nail against and despite getting canceled on the English side, it STILL got a drama adaptation with lots of praise. As at the end of the day, Jaxx took the initiative to cancel her own story, but had she continued it, it would have been like any other popular slave x master yaoi the ppl love on here. Unfortunately, we can be as loud as we can but if the author themselves don’t care then the story ain’t getting cancelled, there's your answer. PS. orientalist slop is always getting talked about, no one is jumping anyone for talking about it, you guys would know if you stepped out of mangago for one second.
exactly!
if you're operating in good faith and not being a racist troll, you should see this incident as a springboard for addressing those other topics as well! it's not a zero-sum game!
the hero and demon king's child?? omg that nga got too active
If I said Tehir reminds me of Homelander... Like similar appearances, same personalities and everything
Please why is every single character in this universe supervillian levels of evil howeverrr unfortunately on a real note, this is getting boring ash, the author continues to use the same plot foundation for every arc. Evil character gets introduced --> preys on mc's naivety --> ml finds out and kills them (excluding the one female student). It lowkey gives diet brutal manga. A good "horror" (cause tbh this ain't horror) story isn't going to rely on countless shock factor to be good btw.
I know some lowkey annoying mfs are gonna say "don't like don't read" which is one of the worst comebacks ever because how is someone gonna know they don't like something without reading it. But everyone who is saying that this is getting boring aren't haters they're just people who are tired of the same tropes happening every chapter and are allowed to criticise a manga that they once enjoyed.
This ^^, the author keeps dragging the story's shock factor rather then exploring different factors which actually makes a horror + psychological story good. And the way the random ass 'antagonists' are just copy and pastes of eachother with every single one having rape! Makes you wonder if the story is using rape as a way to push the story further along... it literally feels like some fetish material now since the MC literally has almost no reaction and the rape and torture he experiences gets blatantly ignored and is never mentioned again after the next chapter and new opponent is revealed...
EXACTLY!! Not every antagonist needs to be a pedophile rapist, there are so many ways to make an evil character who doesn't assault people, once was fine, but more than is insane. You're def right about how it feels like a fetish story and at a certain point it feels like the author is too focused on getting to the climax of the story and forgetting that a good plot has buildup, which is why when one antagonist gets killed off, another one appears almost immediately to "ride off the high" of the previous arc.
This is so trifling like omg, like pls lets talk first...
Gyeol needs to be punched so hard..boy lost his mind 5 chapters ago
