Man thought Id find everyone in the comments being happy for them and everything but man was I wrong
I'm sorry but I don't think the side stories were sweet, sure this final chap with mom is cute and all, but mostly the characters were being SUPER toxic. Please don't think tha locking someone up is reasoneable cause of insecurities.
Don't get me wrong, in general I really like the story, but I think the sides got lost in the sauce and went to crazyland for absolutely no reason.
Hey, Listen...It's not healthy locking someone up because of insecurities...But having insecurities isn't healthy too...and it wasn't like Yeeheok was actually locked up...He could leave if he wanted to and Inseo was super sad about locking him up and was being paranoid...Hook loved him and realised that he needed to reasure Inseo about his feelings...Trust me...Inseo didn't mean harm to Yeeheok.
Haven't read the story yet, just reading the comments first, but what you've just said is crazyyyy. I get getting up in a story but actually think about this "it's not healthy locking someone up because of insecurities... but having insecurities isn't healthy too... and it wasn't like he was actually locked up" pls god no tell me this isn't real ( ̄∇ ̄") our brains are truly fried
....You didn't even take the time to read the story...And you are commenting about it...Wow...You would've understood my comment if you had read the story...Yeeheok wasn't seriously locked up...HE SAID THIS HIMSELF....And Inseo cannot hurt Yeeheok...He is week when it comes to Yeeheok and Yeeheok played along with the "locked up" thing just to help Inseo with his insecurities...you wanna see a REAL locked up use??? Read "Tree Without Roots" or some other toxic and abusive Manhwa...
Idc if he wasn't "seriously" locked up or that he couldn't "actually" hurt him because he loOoVed him too much, that's messed up. And it's concerning you don't think the same. Doesn't matter if the guy didn't think of himself as locked up, HE'S IN THE TOXIC RELATIONSHIP OF COURSE HE WOULD SAY THAT. If that's true. I've read a ton of toxic and abusive manga but I don't delude myself into thinking what's happening isn't that bad
Maybe you and me have different levels of tolerance when it comes to toxic stuff...The main couple's relationship doesn't seen toxic to me but real cause I myself am a very anxious person and understand what paranoia does to good people...The same relationship looks toxic to you cause you are used to unrealistic fluffy relationships that don't always happen in real life. It's okay...You and I are different...Let's agree to disagree and leave it at that.
Uh no I am also a very paranoid and anxious person, toxic is toxic. It'd be the same if I acted that way, regardless of how good of a person I am normally. You can have a higher tolerance in fiction, which I do as well, but PLEASE recognise this is not ok in real life, this is actually making me really worried for you. Unless he was never locked up? And I don't mean "locked up but not really", I mean locked up in any sense of the word, you obvs cannot be doing that in a normal relationship, doesn't matter their intentions or what they've been through etc etc
Thank you for worryng about me...You are a very good person....If he was locked up like in the "Tree without Roots" then I would find it toxic too...But since I have read the whole thing and I know Inseo and Yee hook knows Inseo and Yeeheok himself said that he wasn't actually locked up...He could leave whenever he wanted...But then Yeeheok saw how anxious Inseo was acting so he didn't fuss....Trust me...It wasn't that bad...Even at the end when they solved Inseo's anxious mind....Yeeheok opened the cuffs himself and Inseo was shocked cause he thought Yeeheok was actually tied up
Okay but that's not the point. The person right now is discussing the flaws with your comment cuz wtf were you heading towards You can't dismiss a CLEARLY (emotional) ABUSIVE relationship because the victim can "just leave" and wasn't "actually" locked up. You could say that about literally every abusive relationship irl, that they could just leave. But then you would just be proving how ignorant and inconsiderate of an individual you are to completely disregard the system wherein abuse functions through in relationships. It isn't a simple matter of leaving. It's fear, it's despair, it's being addicted to a presence in your life, it's possession framed as love, etc. It's so many things. If it was such a simple thing of leaving and insecurities, then none of the murder cases or psychological deterioration that is prominent across abuse cases would exist. Do some research, educate yourself, and be more aware please!!!
Yep, OP is super inconsiderate and is just being manipulated by the perpetrator OP is literally a victim and being emotionally abused lmao INTO THINKING THAT BEING TRAPPED BY YOUR ABUSER can only be an ACTUAL thing if it's being genuinely caged in... We are actually doomed lmao, what happened to media literacy and basic empathy?
....Omg...The amount of toxicity you are talking about is not what the MAIN COUPLE is....it does have a little toxicity but not THAT much...They are childhood friends and Yeeheok isn't scared of Inseo...Whatever I said was according to THIS manhwa...Not other super toxic Manhwas like "Tree without Roots", "Blind Play"...etc. There are levels of toxicity...The toxicity you are talking about...Like abusive, addicted to the perpetrator...it's the BOSS'S STORY....I am talking about the MAIN COUPLE....Inseo amd Yeeheok...I am damn sure there has been a misinterpretation of the topic I was talking about...I am sure...
Omg...Yeeheok wasn't being abused...How did you even get to that conclusion? Inseo is super good at emotional manipulation tho...But that was only cause of his anxiety and paranoia...Later he understood how much Yeeheok loves him...Inseo had issues like separation anxiety, fear of abandonment, etc...and that lead him to always crying whenever Yeeheok was too far away...I have different feelings towards Inseo and Yeeheok, Tak and Saanho and the Boss and his uke....
I haven't read it but from the comments seems there's some rape so i'm probably not going to ( ̄∇ ̄") i used to be able to stomach and ignore that kinda stuff a few years ago but now i'm older i struggle to get past it even if it's in fiction. Doesn't help a lot of the comments nowadays in those kinda mangas are whining about the people simply complaining there's rape in the story because ig they're insecure about reading it idk
Nah fr, once you get older and mature you start to realize that rape isn't a plot device for romance lmao. It should never be romanticized or eroticized that way because it's incredibly misleading and disrespectful to actual victims of rape. It's disgusting. And the people complaining about others commenting abt the rape are genuinely brain dead and immature. They're so unwilling to accept criticism that isn't even directed at them because they believe that reading rape is "dark, niche" activity when it isn't. It's just a blatant lack of media literacy and degeneracy at its finest lmao. It's also insecurity because they're profoundly ashame of what they read so they externalize that shame by calling out people like us "puritians" and the "moral police" who just hate 'fun'.
Idk if my other reply isn't loading or smth atm but i'll just redo it i guess (pls don't suddenly have it pop up with two copies ). true though i'm wondering if maybe they're relatively young and will hopefully grow out of it. I think it tends to be the case once you see how this kinda stuff actually develops in real life as you become less sheltered/more "socially literate" ig? At least I hope so
Bro...hurt people hurt people...I am sorry that I see the good in people despite them hurting people...There is a degree to everything...Just like a small crime doesn't equal a big crime....The same way I forgave Inseo for that little emotional manipulation cause he was hurting too...If it was a bigger crime then I would definitely not forgive him....AND at the end of the day...It's a fictional Manwha and the events in fiction almost always play out differently in real life...
I feel like I opened a can of worms in this comment section, sorry for that.
That beeing said... the main couple was a abusive relationship too babes, is okay to like the story, god knows I read some crazy shit and like it, but please understand in your heart that the fact that he tought "well I have to stay inside this room for days and not have any kind of contact with anyone for my lover to be happy, so I will" IS proof of a toxic relationship.
Emotional manipulation IS TOXIC, even if you love the person, even if the person isn't doing it maliciously or on porpose.
I think this comment section got soooo long about it because you are kinda making us worry about you.
TLDR--> is okay to like the story and the characters, I do too, and YES, there are wayyyyy worse storys about abuse, but let's recognize this is abuse too, romanticized abuse for suuuuure, but emotional abuse nonetheless.
Kisses and Hearts for everyone involved.
Please don't neglect your sleep cause sleep is very important for our body to function properly. I hope you slept well .
I am not rage baiting...I am just saying how I feel...and I personally would put up with a little toxicity (slight not so much like abuse) if it would help my partner calm down from all the separation anxiety amd paranoia...People get scared and end up doing things that they shouldn't (this only applies to small crimes not big) and it's your choice to forgive them or not...You have every right to not forgive them...
I watch a lot of psychological explanations for separation anxiety and paranoid behaviors...And that is why I would 1st try to reassure my partner that I won't leave them and that it's okay and that I love them...And if after that they still refuse to change themselves for the better for my sake...Then I would leave...
I am not saying that I would be in a toxic relationship forever...I would 1st see if they can be helped...
Thank you sooo much for worrying about me...I just wanted to say that I would 1st try helping my partner if he/she is scared shirtless that I am gonna leave them or someone is gonna snatch me away, I would 1st help them get over their separation anxiety...I love myself a lot and would not agree to cut all connections forever...But I would tolerate to see if they get better....If they don't get better or I see that they continue that behavior then I would leave them...
I am just saying that I would 1st try to help the one I love before leaving them...
