PRANG TANGA DIN TO SI GRAYSON HAHANAP NANG PARAN PARA PAPANSININ KASO? ANG BOBO DIN

Hahaha korek

Natawa tlg ako sa ginawa niya hirap hirap espelingin ng takbo ng isip niya

Are we reading the same story? Coz he wasn't. He tried to use wonwoo for his own pleasure

Awwwww, what? I am earlier in the chapter so... He's feeling not genuine?

So first world Seungwook was loyal till the end. He betrayed his people and even died for his first love Wonwoo(our mc) with desperate yearning.

Second world seungwook isn't. He's hypocrite.
He dated old wonwoo(the one who died) but he did not feel the spark when dating him and he chose someone else (the pink hair guy) coz he's sparkly, twinkly, and he's full of joy. Tch trash behaviour.

Now that our mc Wonwoo appears in place of old wonwoo, he starts to have feelings for him when dating that pink hair guy. Like broo don't give me that crap. He couldn't make old wonwoo feel special or didn't even bother helping him when he was alive because if he truly was a kind person, he would have made old wonwoo happy.

Thanks for the spoiler my friend ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~

Well, maybe compared to their previous work, then yes, could call them brave.
Otherwise, not so much, since the story went from having a dynamic we don’t get to see often to becoming your average powerful, r*pey top/submissive bottom trope that we find in your every other typical webtoon.

I understand why you feel that way, but I think the author took risks with the characters and their development in her own way and that's one of the reasons I'm still invested in it.

I also really like BA much more than RC. It is a completely different story tackling power dynamics and domination in a much more tense way. It's actually quite purposeful that Hanse-nim showcases that this is not "love". It is obsessions, possession, submission, punishment, all in one. People will disagree with me but to me there wasnt much chemistry in RC, they just fell in love at first sight and as children. But BA? HHAHAHA it is so interesting. They are not normal, and theyre going to tackle that head on.

And Hanse-nim probably knew that some readers would dislike the direction BA took compared to RC, but they may have felt that telling the story they wanted was more important than pleasing everyone.
RC is good for its own so does BA.

I think it's kind of messy at this point, but the main context is still very interesting.
Possible spoiler below:



Rian saying that it's not "even sex" which you can have with a total stranger and no string attached, no emotion involved, is so real. What's happening between them is not romantic, sane or even consensual; so it's not sexy. It's twisted in a way that makes you want to see Enzo go fuck himself, but at the same time makes you wonder, how this fucking Pinocchio is gonna turn into a real boy.

And imagine if they were already in love and acting all soft with each other this early on. Knowing Rian's personality and with Enzo being a black flag, that would be hard to believe. Character development is needed for a relationship like theirs to feel natural. I think Hanse-nim chose to build it up gradually instead of forcing the romance too early, and that's what makes it more believable to me.

Don't get me wrong, I definitely love BA more than RC. And I agree that Bad Apple was never meant to be a vanilla romance. The premise itself promised something darker, more psychologically twisted, and that's exactly what drew me in.

My issue isn't that the relationship is messed up (it was toxic from the very beginning)— it's that the story gradually started relying on tropes that are pretty common in BL rather than fully exploring the unique dynamic it initially set up.
What hooked me at first was the tension and clash between their personalities and circumstances. Rian was always my favorite character since Red Candy, and I genuinely enjoy the story more than RC overall (Season 1 especially). But as it went on, a lot of the conflict felt less like a natural extension of their obsession and power struggle and more like the usual "r*pey possessive ML + reluctant love interest" formula we see all the time.
So while I still like Bad Apple and think it had a stronger setup than RC, I don't think it's as groundbreaking or unconventional as it first seemed. For me, it started as something that could have been really distinct and ended up falling back on familiar BL conventions.

Yeah, totally. It's like Enzo doesn't even understand that the other person is a human being who has their own autonomy, so he's just taking them apart. The blushing bits were misleading only because his interest seemed somehow NORMAL, which is absolutely not. And even if he had normal feelings towards Rian, the latter wouldn't care for him, since he has a crush on Candy and sleeps with whoever he wants. Knowing that it wouldn't work between them if they had started differently, and how unique their personalities are as individuals, makes this very exciting. How on earth they're gonna be near each other without being so harmful?

I actually think the is the correct path for this. I can't say that she is relying on the trope, rather its just a byproduct. What she's setting up is the motive for Rian to fuck over Enzo HARD.

The other BL's I've read dont really have this setup. E.g. passion, Taeui mostly wants to escape. Anastasia, Mc also mostly just wants to escape after getting on the island. Jinx? Mc actually loves him from the start, just got hurt and sad and lifeless. Sadistic beauty? Just leave me alone. I dont think its the same at all.

Uno is capable. Im just waiting. A good setup takes time.

Yeah, what you just said reminds me of Finder and Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai, which also takes different approach. Maybe that's why BA feels new, especially if you've already read a lot of stories from different genres.

Buy the chapter if you’re this impatient :)

Yeah, like, stop spamming...

Buy it duhhh

Wow! Dont worry I already did in lenzhin. And my message is for an honest question. I used to read in lenzhin and here.

Just be patient then? Pestering uploaders to upload chapters faster is honestly pretty rude. They’re not even obligated to do it in the first place.

Im not pestering anyone esp jujucat. Like what i said earlier its just an honest question. Im sorry if its bothering you.

And i want to add, i respect all uploaders here in this site.

My theory is that he didn’t and it was just to help the brother escape so they tricked the organization into thinking he was dead… but this is just a theory so I’m not sure

Yeah, I also have the same thought.

He’s just too much of a ray of sunshine to even look like he has hurt someone before

cicero killed my man ╥﹏╥ （/TДT)/
