The story was going so well, and their chemistry was so good. I was expecting to see more of them interacting.. Then we were hit with a smut scene.
It felt rushed, and I can tell that this scene is simply to push the angst. It's a bit disappointing. There was no reason to make the seme the "bad guy", this could've been a really cute story.
The overly sized peener, the no lube + protection, and the bad dirty talk made it even worse. If the sex was better written, then it might've been excusable, but not in this case.
I had so much hope in the first few chapters. The comedy was smooth and the chemistry was good. Now it feels like the plot has done a complete flip.
I know author writes amazing stories, so I'm willing to see this till the end. And while this is a story filled with clichés, I was hoping that we'd at least be spared from the naive uke x exploitative seme.. Nevertheless, I excited to see what comes next!
The seme was always the bad guy ! He made his intentions clear from the get go, one good fuck and that’s all!
It's too early for the spicy scenes!!!
Please, take him on a date! Dammit!!! We need fluff before the squelching!
The way things are looking, seme might see our baby boy as a fun play thing, and I really hope that's not the direction we're going.
Please don't break our hearts, author. Things are going so well for this to end up a cliché
I will shake literal booty for anyone that can find the uncut translated chapters. I'm even willing to read bad scanlations.
Damn you Manta!!!!!

PSA
If someone who's on drugs forces themselves onto you, it's still rape. While Matthew probably didn't intend to rape Jin, he still did. At least in the beginning when Jin said no.
So if you find yourself in a situation like Jin, you have every right to report it to the authorities.
Stay safe and informed <3
Idk.. I hope he turns villainous, or at least cold in the the next chapters. He looked kinda angry in this one, and I was hoping to see more of it.
My prediction is that he's going to be approached by the sketchy guy and asked to leak intel. Then KD refuses and somehow forgives Jerkyung and ends up warning him. And Jerkyung is so moved by his kindness that he turns over a new leaf.
Jokes aside, I think he's going to be kidnapped and Jerky will absolutely lose his shits because he needs to cure his jinx. But when they finally find Dan, he's going to be too focused on making sure that he's okay, which warms Dan's heart.
Hopefully author doesn't let KD be persuaded so easily. I don't even want to see Jerkyung on his knees. I just want to see KD gain and maintain a self worth.
It took me an entire season to realise that this is a love triangle. I avoid them like the plague, but somehow this one is palatable.
Time for my controversial take.
The "chemistry" that a lot of people see between Ian and TJ is simply just obsession and addiction. Ian wants out of the chains TJ has held him in, but I guarantee if TJ somehow miraculously let go of them, Ian would sit still like a dog awaiting a command. They're both bad for each other, but TJ is too consumed to either realise or accept it.
Jo and Ian were doomed from the start. There is little hope of them ending up happy together. Ian is tied to TJ, and no matter how far Ian runs, he'll always have a line leading directly to him. Jo is being pitted against someone on a much higher level than him in terms of emotional fondness. No matter how much Ian may want him, a part of him still belongs to TJ.
Jo offers him stability but TJ offers him familiarity.
My prediction and wish is that Ian doesn't end up with either. He wouldn't be happy with TJ and it would just be so unfair to Jo. Gaining his freedom and starting a new life would be the best option for him. He's never been alone for long enough to establish himself as an individual. Give him a few years to figure his stuff out, then he can try again.
Yes, Ian and Jo's relationship seems doomed from the beginning. There's no exposure about their relationship or Jo as a character. To me he feels like a secondary character that will only serve to the development of the plot or the other characters growth. I actually pity Jo the most in this story cause he's actually stuck between these two who has a history of 19 years. I don't know how someone like him could survive in this battle since he's someone who have never experienced anything like this before. The main story focuses more on TJ and Ian. Actually TJ miraculously decided to let Ian go in one the raws. It's actually a big plot twist of him finally wanted to let Ian go however Ian who wants to leave the gang life and past decided to be with TJ. Maybe he will join the gang once again.
Literally. The only reason they will be endgame is the author’s favoritism towards TJ.
I saw someone said in the comments the author has no preference with who Ian ends up with. Isn't that sounds weird and concerning for her not having interest about the endgame in her own story. I rarely keep up with her updates so I don't know most of the things. Also I remember someone said the story will have a bittersweet ending. I get that this is noir but I'm starting to feel weird about this. And what you guys mean by she is liking and retweeting hate tweets of fans about a certain character?
She liked the Jo hate tweets. Maybe it was an accident but she did it more than once and it was seen by some. Her saying she has no preference is strange cause her actions contradict that but maybe she doesn’t. With the amount of sex she shows of Ian and TJ unnecessarily (2-3 chapters for one sex), I do fear she favors a character over the other. It happens more than you’d think.
Perhaps she will make him end up with no one if she doesn’t have a preference on either of the ML. I’d like that ending.
More than one time? That's absurd. Why would she do that? It's a serious accusation against her but are you guys sure about this? Her saying having no preference is actually very very concerning. It's like she has no favouritism in choosing the endgame. It sounds pitiful to me cause whomever is gonna end up with Ian wasn't preferred by her. Maybe she won't say she has preference cause she has to keep things ambiguous until the end. I notice with her, she actually confuses people. She already said the will be an endgame but someone said it will be a bittersweet ending. I'm thinking something will happen to TJ or Jo.
People saw the tweets she liked and then she apparently deleted them/hod her likes. I wasn’t a witness so don’t rely on my words alone but more than one person called her out. But very minority.
yes. She has already been called out for similar issues. And, if I recall correctly, she also followed a Jo hater account, and when people called her out on it, she immediately unfollowed the person, but she followed that account again. If you stalk her account, you can see which character and ship she really favours which kinda sad and disappointing cuz whats the point of making the story trope love triangle when the another character only created to make the trope works.
A SANEE PERSON THANKK GODDD
when did ian decide he wants to be with TJ again? nothing in season 2 has suggested that so far except then having sex which i wouldn’t call ‘going back’
Well many TJ and Ian shippers seem to believe that. They say that Ian contradicts himself when he said “I used to like someone” in the rooftop scene in S1, just because Ian couldn’t let go of TJ in S2 when TJ is about to go somewhere away from him for a while.
And how Ian is the one who’s holding TJ back in S2 now.
ah so i just caught up with wet sand and ur right ian did go back to tj it’s sad and fucked up but i think ian had ‘good reasons’ to go back to tj which is mainly ian just feeling like he owes tj his life. what i don’t get is why tj has disappeared now is he trying to punish ian or what
Exactly. I don’t think Ian loves him like that anymore or it’s not as strong as TJ’s love anyways. We have more seasons after this S2 so it’s a long journey ugh
I should've waiting for more chapters to be released.
One of the BEST I've read. It's a cliché trope but with a new fresh storyline. A green flag ml is like a dime a dozen in bls, and I'm genuinely happy to see it.
My heart was doing cartwheels this latest chapter!!! Comedy is TOP TIER. I can't wait to see how this goes. But for now, I'm going to stop reading to stock up on chapters.
Alright... Controversial take, but I'd actually prefer this so much more if it wasn't a yaoi.
The sex lacked chemistry, and it was the same rewashed dialogue from 3 000 different yaois. Reading define the relationship has really put into perspective what a constructive sex scene is, one that actually pushes the plot forward.
This however, we're still on the 10th chapter, so there really isn't a plot to push.
I felt myself actually take a breath after I realised the sex was over. It's so much more interesting seeing mc navigate through his life, and interact with the ml as they figure themselves out.
Their relationship dynamic has so much potential, and they're going to be a cute couple. I just wish the r rated content will be kept to a minimum, because it really serves to narrative purpose currently
I THOUGHT YOU WERE SAYING IF IT WAS A BOY X BOY MANHWA I'M SO DUMB. Yeah it would have been nice if it was just shounen ai
Wasn't*
Haha
Sorry, to me bl and yaoi are different categories
