people expect too much from yaoi lmao
i laughed when you assumed i can't think yaoi could have good stories and told me to explore i know a lot of good stories, and i'm pointing at the ppl who picked up this manhwa, which from the very beginning chapters is not friendly to the soft hearted ppl,
and they have high expectations with the ending of this story, I mean... the author has already told us herself that mc and ml will be together
I get what you mean, but I feel like that’s something you could say about a lot of genres. Shoujo has its share of overdramatic tropes, action series sometimes sacrifice logic for hype, and even critically acclaimed dramas can have plot holes. No genre is immune to weak storytelling, but I think yaoi, like any other genre, has both hidden gems and more cliché works. Maybe it’s just a matter of finding the ones that balance good storytelling with the aspects you enjoy
Here are some that i can think of right away
Walk on water, back to school, liveta (in upcoming chapters), raising a bat, Boundary, love bite, Hugo
I can explain myself if you want to know mybreasoning.
But just overall the use of rape/sexual assault in most story just to add trauma/drana.
The MC always being so stupid or doing odd things for no reason, overeacting to something out of nowherw or going to the extreme on a misunderstanding.
I’ve only read Liveta, but I think it’s a well-written story with strong characters and a meaningful narrative. When it comes to the portrayal of sexual assault, I don’t think the issue is simply its presence in a story it’s about how it’s handled. Some stories include these themes irresponsibly, either romanticizing them or using them as a lazy way to add drama. But Liveta doesn’t fall into that category. Instead, it acknowledges the trauma and shows how deeply it affects the MC’s emotions, actions, and relationships.
Portraying dark or uncomfortable themes in fiction isn’t inherently bad in fact, it can be an important way to explore real-life issues. However, it becomes problematic when these topics are used carelessly or without proper weight. Liveta, in my opinion, treats the subject seriously by showing the emotional consequences rather than just using it as a plot device. It doesn't shy away from the reality of trauma, and that’s what makes it stand out.
That being said, I can understand why people are sensitive to how these topics are used in media, especially when so many stories handle them poorly. But I don’t think Liveta is one of those cases it actually makes an effort to show the depth of the MC’s experience rather than trivializing it.
Ok so before going into spoilers lets start with the current situation.
Jin is one (if not the one) of the most powerful person in his district. So when he needed someone to make sure Viktor wouldnt leave while he was busy, he chpose Peter. Peter being someone that hates Jin, who sees Greys as livestock How was he not able to find anyonw more decent ? Even when he was told of Peter's behavior, he didnt try to change person. How can somebody this powerful have so few ressources ?
Now for the spoilers : in the current chapter Viktor is trying to leave, Jin will ask him to get a tattoo of formicarium and Viktor will refuse and Jin will confine Viktor in a basement. And guess what, while in that basement, Peter will torture Viktor and he brings other guys to SA viktor (and probably kills most of the guys afterwards, if not all of em). Now once again, why is Jin leaving the one he loves in the hands of the kinds of Peter ? and even worst, he didnt take any precautions to prevent or be notified if anything happened.
Ofc Jin still loves Viktor so this is all without his knowledge. But did he never think of any precautions to protect viktor ? Torture, SA and murders kepts happening. And then Viktor knocked out Peter and escaped. And what the fuck did Jin do to Peter ? In the present time Peter is still healthy and still holds a lot of power.
So did jin never found out everything that happened ? And didnt give proper punishement for Peter letting Viktor eacape ? Thats some big bs.
Jin is supposedly this fearful all powerful leader and yet someone bullied and harassed his lover for months IN HIS OWN HOUSE, then that same person tortured, SA'd his lover, then that same person also let his lover escape. And this person is still doing all good....
Waw that's crazy tbh I expected it. So what I think is that jin doesn't love Victor like how we think he does. I think either his love is based on unhealthy obsession and when Victor didn't wanna get the tattoo he lost it and he tried to torture him in any way without making it seem like he was the one behind the things happening to him. In this case i think jin takes victor rather as an objecthe owns not his lover. Its like in no reason if yk the manhwa -
Or he doesn't even love Victor but he just wants to make the other district fall under him and he tried to use Victor so he didn't really care about what happened to him.
But that's just my opinion.
You do bring a good point, If Jin really was behind the torture and SA, then it would be a better writing, because atleast it would be coherent with how powerful Jin is.
I do agree that Jin's love is a lot on the possessive side since he wont take "no" as an answer. Its just faster to call it love but i agree that its not the real deal.
I hope you are right about Jin being the mastermind of the torture, but based on my understanding, he wasn't.
