Despite their first meeting I thought their chemistry was extremely high as the story went on. They have common character archetypes but they balance each other out really well… however
Going through the raws, the ML makes a very selfish decision which leads to him inadvertently physically hurting the MC to the point the MC almost died. SPOILERS but he decides to keep the bell to keep MC in his circle which gets him possessed and leads to the ghost choking tf outta MC. His energy then went haywire and when the MC went to fix it (like how ML did in chapter 1), they don’t let him dominate (BOOOOO) and ML is in a trance like state as he pushes him down. No MC taking initiative and hopping dick yall :/
Jokes aside it’s pretty in character for him to be selfish like this but I was mega disappointed. I hope he sobs and pleads for forgiveness cause ts wouldn’t had happened if he wasn’t thinking with his dick
Omg is this ( https://tkor152.com/%EC%88%A8%EB%A7%89%ED%9E%88%EB%8A%94-%EB%8F%99%EB%A7%B9) a link to the raws omg no wayyyyyy (37 chapters still ongoing)
Tho imo sobbing and pleading for forgiveness is warrented, its a bit out of character. I personally just want to see an reflection, guilt and acceptance of his mistakes as well as making it up with the MC.
Stories are meant to tell about flawed characters, making mistakes while learning from it and grow to a better person. But what makes a story good is exactly how they handle the problems and mistakes. Personally sobbing while pleading for forgiveness just doesn't solve the root issue (in a narrative sense).
So I'm hoping that the story is going to tackle this problem in a mature and insightful way and not have it be fixed with just a plead.
Ugh u get me bc I usually don’t like the sobbing or pleading for forgiveness route. They already feel very different from other yaoi characters out there so I hope ML actually takes accountability and confesses as to what he did wrong and apologizes. Here’s hoping it doesn’t get swept under the rug
Are they dating yet or are they still pussyfooting around
Still a situationship unfortunately
This story is very mature and complex compared to other manga. I’m the type to, full stop, never forgive a rapist ML. Ever. No matter if he apologizes or not. That being said, I hope the ML in this manga does more than what he has. I think it’s a good start but I won’t lower my standards just bc the bar is in hell. I can’t write him off like the other MLs as the consequences of his actions have actually taken a toll on his psyche but what he did still significantly hurt the MC. He sexually assaulted the MC and would’ve continued if the MC didn’t escalate. His selfishness got the MC hurt.
I think there’s a lot of nuance ppl are missing when it comes to a story like this. It isn’t THAT complex or hard to grasp but the ML doesn’t need to be babied. Apologizing for your actions is the first thing to do, the NORMAL thing to do. MC not forgiving him immediately really showed the reality of this.
All in all, TLDR; I’m looking forward to how to see if the author will let the ML grow into a better person or become like every other tasteless yaoi ML. I feel like he has room to grow and be better but his criticism is extremely justified.
Side note: I hope Victor won’t turn out to be a bad guy just to make ML look good. That’s so cliche and I hate it so fucking much.
Without spoiling from like 21-25(the latest atm) shines a better light on the ML than what we have seen. Ofc he still is shitty for what he did, but i think the author is doing a decent job putting his character together with nuance.
I think compared to many stories the ML's actions are actually backing up his apology so far. Ofc its only at ch.25 so we will just have to wait and see for now but so far so good honestly. Victor still just a chill dude and the ML is helping the MC in ways he can(that arent just throwing money at the problem or the usual stereotype, hes just genuinely being present and helping yknow? Hard to explain without spoiling lol). It doesnt feel forced or out of character.
Very appreciated reply!!!! This definitely will get me caught up to what’s happening rn! TYSM(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
MC is NOT raped. While he is assaulted at the start, he eventually breaks down in tears and the ML stops to talk. Idk abt what but I bet it ain’t what it needs to be. Just skip the first bit of the next chapter if these things can be triggering!
Happy reading :3
More spoilers… sorry!
Forgot to add there’s like no angst. They get right back to loving on each other with no problems (so far) for the next 6 chapters.
Here are the raws: https://tkor128.com/%EB%9F%AD%ED%82%A4-%EB%8B%A4%EC%9D%B4%EC%8A%A4
Thank... God.... You're so kind for informing the masses!
Lots of people seem to think just because another character is in a relationship with the main that it makes them the second lead. This is definitely not the case here. The “2nd ML” is actually a groomer painted as a villain, not romanticized whatsoever. They make it very clear their relationship is without love, toxic, and predatory. I don’t think their explicit smut was needed even if it not when MC is a minor but other than that it’s very deep and complex. Anyways… LETS GO LESBIANS!!!
This guys isn’t giving 2nd ML to me. I’m like… 70% sure this dude is in cahoots with the other hounds or will just straight up die
well said
Honestly i think he'll try to seduce the twink to kidnap him or something like that, since they can't get their way with him around anymore. Orrr a possible jealous arc for no reason too
This is so BloodyMary
