TLDR: FREE TAESAN MAN
how does taesan end up being everyone's punching bag like atp i dont even care if he turns out to be completely evil or smt (because BL authors love to make their side character twinks secret twist villains for some reason) he should be allowed to kirk everyone in that classroom.
whether it be the homophobic bullies, bystanders, junwoo, or yes, even our mc and ml themselves, they are ALL complicit in his maltreatment, he can't catch a single breather.
jun's two faced "altruism" and yohan's direct malice are two sides of the same coin, ultimately they don't care about what happens to taesan they just want him out of the way, their behavior towards him are both out of selfish malicious intent. watching both of them act like this because of their own insecurity and inability to process their jealousy is frankly really embarrassing and pathetic. sorry.
i usually LOVE flawed asshole characters, and people can't help jealousy, however jun & yohan weaponizing their higher hierarchal positions ("savior" figure & "god" of the classroom respectively) to manipulate some bullied kid who also just happens to be associated with their crush is just so. petty. and frustrating to watch. especially when the narrative kind of just dismisses this because well yeah, this work is ultimately about yohan and jun. taesan isn't the forefront of this story and lowkey just acts as a plot device. but it makes it hard for me to actually root for the mc and ml.
lmk if this gets resolved in the novel or if taesan ends up being an evil mastermind that nukes everyone because i doubt i'm gonna ever read it.
i do enjoy how we explore jun's psyche through his monologue and thought processes, that's part of the appeal with asshole characters for me. ik yohan's supposed to be a mysterious figure who's background and true character slowly gets unraveled blah bla bla. unfortunately even with 40+ ch i could not bring myself to gaf goodbye.
looking for BL with seme abuse pls!!! and i mean like to the point of severe psychological scarring or mindbreak, not just the seme getting slapped a couple times. preferably from uke but from 3rd parties is ok too! either is fine. think murderous lewellyns levels of psychological impairment. thank u!
and yes i am ok and sane (i think)
wow I think this is pretty rare in BL I don’t think I’ve ever come across this trope
Bro js tell us u want angst with a crybaby-fixated-obsessed seme & no i don't have much physical abuse recs other than lewellyn, js the physiological impact

literally perfect for you though it's short on chapters
at this point play the video game slow damage, its a visual novel and literally has everything you said in it
If you know what visual novels are, you should read ooe. The ukes in it break down the mcs psyche and sanity
I’ve never read anything like it. Some of those ukes were playing 4d chess with the semes brain
omg that sounds interesting, unfortunately i do not have access to a computer rn lol but i will be noting this down thank u!!
by any chance have you remembered by now lol, or if you don't mind could you describe it in more detail so i can try to crawl through mangaupdates to find it
examples:

looking for BL where the seme is super strict and holds a very particular conservative/childish/naive outlook on sex and relationships. like the type of person to go "nuh uh premarital sex is obscene!" and then get all flustered
meanwhile uke is just tryna hit
Dreaming of a dokkaebi kinda?
TYSM!! ill add that to my to read list
art looks great but dane being like 2 shades lighter is fucking frying me damn that sunscreen went to WORK he needs to drop the brand name ASAP
