Does he cheat? No. Does he beat? No.
He's got your back and eats it out, too.
His only crime is being a smug memecat.
I think... it's terribly funny that we haven't seen Daiki with his pants off ever since we made fun of his tattoo.
I don't mind if ppl dislike Kirishima for all the wild shit he's done but to hate him for merely having slept with other women but put Shouma on a pedestal for the same reason is wild when they both go through women like sleeves.
Yeah I understand that people find it weird he's seeing other girls while pursuing Yoshino, but they weren't dating, sometimes it was for his job. If you find it weird he was seeing women while professing his love for her, he wasn't sure he was serious about her then, and she didn't give a shit about it, which is why she gave his fwbs all the new years gifts. But he hasn't been with anyone since they became official. His past physical connection with others doesn't define how he feels about her in the current, and right now I think he's actually very serious.
As for, Shouma he's had several girlfriends. He goes through them constantly. He might not be Kirishima level of several fwbs at once, but he's not a virgin either, and while I think he treasures Yoshino, I don't feel it to be romantic given the way they act. They treat each other like family, and because of his position as his benefactor's daughter, kind of puts her on a pedestal to some extent.
Basically I'm just saying you can still dislike Kirishima for the aforementioned reasons but imo all the men in the series are toxic trash lol.
That was a pretty intense, short read.
Complicated feelings because while toxic, it was very intruiguing and well paced, and surprisingly had a happy end what the heck.
People defending Jiho like, "he got into an argument with his lover, his mind isn't in the right state", or "it's a realistic character", or "Inwoo isn't all that better" like...none of that matters. It's not about who's more right or wrong. Whatever circumstances led to this, people are reacting wildly because of WHAT Jiho said/did was so out of line, and that isn't gonna change regardless of what the reasons were. Moreover Jiho's actions to date so far have been so wishy-washy and outta pocket. Yes-great-he's realistic. Is he still a POS? Absolutely. You can have it both ways. Some people want to be understanding of Jiho, and some don't. Don't gotta name call the people who don't.
Inwoo's behaviour to date has been consistent. He's got some mental health issues that he's trying to ride through, and it's been reasonably clinically accurate. Him having these thoughts and actions are in-line with what he's been like to date and people who suffer similarly in real life.
But the funny thing is, so has Jiho. He's been ironically consistently---inconsistent and basically a terrible lover even if he tries to be a good one. Sure he's trying his best, but he's irresponsibly bitten off more than he can chew; and since he selfishly wanted this, the onus is on him; because please recall, it was Jiho who pursued Inwoo knowing he's got issues, but clearly isn't the right person to be doing so because he's got his own set of problems. The same guy who fell in love with Inwoo and tried to get with him while still sleeping with Chung because he couldn't let go of his physical need for dick. Yes, sure---he's not in love with Chung, but HIM BEING TEMPTED TO CHEAT because it would've been more comfortable...wasn't a momentary lapse of judgement, it was in line with his whole behaviour thus far and his need to physically be with someone. People getting angry with their lover and storming off and having crazy thoughts isn't unusual, but no one dictates what your thoughts end up being, that's on you as an individual and how you've developed to date. He could've also just simply thought about letting Inwoo go, rather than think about being tempted by Chung's offer---there's a subtle but major difference. But ultimately, Jiho is a pretty lonely person himself.
As for Inwoo, I think him lashing out after being chased by Jiho was a predictable set of response. Because he's clearly been put into a surprise and uncomfortable situation by Jiho (who meant well---but shit, you should never set anyone up unprepared without their consent). And when Jiho chased after Inwoo after he got triggered by his mom, the first thing he did was to tell Inwoo to go back because maybe his mom has her reasons. But in that moment, it was practically betrayal. Instead of asking whether Inwoo was alright, or to maybe stop and try again another day when he's ready, Jiho basically backed up his mom who abandoned him instead of Inwoo who is his lover. Which is why Inwoo said that Jiho has never truly hated his own family.
I think Jiho is a fascinating character, as equally as I also find him slightly repulsive, and that's honestly just how I feel about it, because you can be interesting and simultaneously dislikeable. And even though the series of event so far has been kind of nutty, I'm still intrigued by where the story is going.
The TLDR of this is that I think Jiho's scene has more shock factor than Inwoo's and it's reasonable for sane people to think Jiho's actions are immoral and irresponsible. That's just one's natural reaction.
YES, say it louder for the people in the back...! I couldn't have worded it better.
Jiho's "temptations" weren't just any random thought. Your thoughts are never truly random. Moreover, he did actually use to crush on Chung, and not all that long ago, slept with him in that very house. Subconsciously, the body still remembers.
Imo, I feel that Jiho has always been teetering on the edge of being uncommitted. Even the editor said that had Chung pushed a little harder, he could've wedged himself between Jiho and Inwoo. And the fact that he's gone and done this over one minor scuffle really shows how little effort he's putting into the relationship that HE wanted.
Preaccchhh!!
yes bestie, pop off!!
Everybody's talking about the grape, but nobody wants to talk about how crazy good and scary as hell the zombies look? And the panel composition where the MC sees someone in another building getting grabbed by all the zombie hands? Bone chilling.
I think the atmosphere is very vile, but well done.
Exactly, also I think when that blue jacket guy said that "we have something even the monsters out there are scared of", he meant the Seme.
And about the grape, I haven't seen any in the raws. So, I'm a bit hopeful.
I think it confuses a lot of BL readers when they run into authors like Aeju who more often than not write stories that aren't intended to be romantic or erotic, and they always focus on the SA rather than the story around it. This scene sets the stage and isn't supposed to be sexy, it's supposed to be brutal and terrifying and let readers understand what kind of person the ML is.
I feel like this is going to end up being a truly scary and horrifying zombie apocalypse story with a truly insane and casually cruel ML who has zero self awareness, which makes him even scarier. I'm already invested in finding out if the MC manages to get through it all, or if he breaks completely like the MC in An Easy Target. I really hope it doesn't get as psychologically twisted as that story, though, cause that was probably the hardest thing I've ever read.
Kinda tired of the comments comparing the novel to the webtoon and complaining. It's like "Who Made me A Princess", the novel and comic are so different from each other but still good in their own way. You can prefer one to the other, but I don't really see the point of saying oh "xyz was better, or xyz doesn't make sense compared to the novel" when the characters and actions in the webtoon are so different and of course will have different results. What made sense for the novel isn't going to make sense for the comic and vice versa.
Like, if novel-Cliff really didn't know Lize was a psychopath the whole time, and got tired of her nonsense and ended up marrying someone else, then sure it makes sense.
But the webtoon version of him clearly knew she was a bit kookoo, and aided and abetted her willingly. Him losing everything and still choosing the author makes sense, cause that's what he wanted. That's this version of him.
The Edith in the novel got tired of expectations and receeded to their territory to live in seclusion, but so what? The Edith of the comic showed that what she wanted most was understanding and an apology, which she never received in her previous life and she got what she wanted.
Like, if you're going to compare them then at least do so within context. To say the webtoon makes no sense compared to the novel when it's not possible to cross compare them one to one anymore because the content has already diverged, is inane imo.
Preach. I think it definitely shows in the webtoon from start to end that the brother was never a good or kind person. Whatever psycho ending he gets he deserves. He doesn't deserve a happy ending.
