He’s going to do it again. The moment there is an opening he will take his brother’s place again without him knowing somehow, and assault the MC again. I’m so sick of this behavior. The twin shit is really not a good excuse for putting in SA into BL and trying to convert it being something absolutely heinous into a “well I love you and I love my brother” plot twist. The plot twist is, you took a really cute story, built of connection and solid communication, hollowed that out to the baseline of well “he’s your brother and we all have our traumas even together now.” and instead of leaving it alone. Now you’re riding it to the edge of pissing most of the audience from what I’m seeing.
It’s disgusting, I’m honestly pissed off. We don’t take this seriously, and it’s some limiting of what BL should be, and honestly. It’s disrespectful to everyone fictional and otherwise.
TLDR: Get Fucked.
Buddy u literally have no reason on your reads list i dont wanna hear it
Bro, pal, bucko, I don’t care if you don’t want to hear it. I’ll still say my piece. I hope you found a few to you’re liking in there. Some good ones in there, personally I like “Boss Bitch Baby.”, “Dawn Of The Dragon.”, and “GuildMate Next Door.” Pretty solid on those, cute build up. Nice chemistry, and for the most part okay communication once they start seeing each other. Also, pretty cute dynamics on how they engage with one another.
Your liking. (Spoofed that.)
big talk about playmate just to go and glaze dawn of the slop and snoozefest next door
Opinions are opinions for a reason Chadwick, they’re subjective. Oh, but I guess it would be a personal fact that Dawn Of The Dragon goes hard. Very cute, very lovely couple. Also, Snort-stick bazooka, if you understood context, you’d realize I do love Playmate, but it is absolutely frustrating to see what the Author is doing with their talent.
So, if we’re done here giggleshit?
What did you just call me
What part? Chad-Wick, Snort-Stick-Bazooka, or my personal favorite, giggleshit?
WORD
This is going to be long, and a bunch of rambling, yet here’s my take on the situation.
I don’t hate Geonpil, nor do I think he needs or should have to die. The dudes annoying, no arguments there—and he does have some role of responsibility in the reason that Yunseong is dead, and why everything has reached the mess we’re in now.
Him denying the truth, both with his personal feelings and Yunseong and his relationship before he died, and with Yunseong’s actual death, and his willingness to face everything going on around with Yunseong’s copy. However, he didn’t kill Yunseong .
That was 100% his decision to go up to that mountain, and it was his choice not to hold the relationship to healthy boundaries, so he is equally responsible. He chose instead to relish in the scraps of the broken affection that left him feeling frustrated at the absence of what he was trying to manipulate. (Yes manipulate, giving someone care and looking after their life with the intention of potentially getting something back like an acceptance and reception of feelings is manipulation.) Then he died in an accident.
No one could have predicted that happening, and even if Geonpil had been there, there is very little he could’ve done that would have saved Yunseong . It was and would’ve been all up to fate.
Finally. Yunseong’s copy, he did nothing wrong. It may seem he did because we see murder as something that is wrong, and I’m not conceding that it isn’t, but what I am saying is, Beom is not human. He doesn’t operate from the moral function we do. That’s like lion eating a hyena, or us eating meat. He is an apex predator to us. A literal supernatural being. Plus he comes from a mountain that literally created him to do this, and yet he goes against his nature for Yunseong.
Maybe he was trying to change, even in a broken and clumsy way. He just genuinely wants to be loved. Dude was breaking against his nature with Geonpil so many times, because he also wants to be loved. Just as these other two do, in their own equally twisted ways.
In my opinion. This is all just very sad,fucked up and well written. I hope it Geonpil actually handles his shit. Not just for his sake but for the other two involved, so they can get some closure and resolution; and that it doesn’t end with Geonpil dying. The living should live as long as they can.
I'm so sorry for being such a bother, but Hyung name is Yunseong. Beom is the name Geonpil gave to the tiger because he know that Beom's not Yunseong. He doesn't feel right to call him "Hyung".
And yep, i agree with your points. I also find Geonpil annoying, but he doesn't deserve that much of hate. I won't validate that his doing is right, but that's just how he is. That's the way he lives, yeah i'd really hated if i have a friend like him in real life. But i always liked seeing this perspective of a kind of fucked up in mind characters.
I've always find this kind of mc interesting since i know this kind of story might probably ends either with a character development or they just die as a consequence. The story's just so sad and depressing that i can't really hate anyone here. It's not that i feel related with Geonpil either tho-- haha. I'm sorry, i write too much...
Ahh thank you for correcting me. I am not the best with remembering names.
Ignore my comment that’s literally right below yours. I have a few questions.
1. Where does it ever state that Beom has a “nature” as you put it?
While he is a supernatural being, I don’t remember read/seeing anything stating that beom has any true inclination to have a “nature”.
To my understanding, this story uses hunger as a metaphor for loneliness. Loneliness leaving a pit with-in them, urging them to fill it, which can be interpreted as the primal feeling of hunger.
As I see it, Beom is a shape-shifting spirit of loneliness trying to satiate it the best he can. He tries to take people’s place to be loved, and when that doesn’t fulfill him, he resort to eating.
2. Yunseong, and him being “manipulative”
I oppose this view. I don’t think there’s any valid proof of that. We only have Geonpil and how he began to interpret their relationship as transactional after realizing Yunseong’s feelings. Never Yunseong imposing such a thing. Wanting, but not expecting his feelings to be reciprocated
We have Geonpil leading Yunseong on, and using him.
Geonpil coaxing Yunseong into sex.
Geonpil has a little crisis after acknowledging this.
Geonpil negligence toward Yunseong.
He laterally ignores all of Yunseong’s issues, and he just brushes-off everything Yunseong says in the first chapter.
That shit drives people crazy!
Truly we don’t have much on Yunseong, sadly.
On the latest chapter we start to see things come into frame a little bit more on Beom’s and Yesong’s side of things. True it is very little information, however there are a couple of things that creates the argument that I have implied from the prior to current chapters.
Firstly, I agree that Beom is a metaphor for loneliness, and a physical personification of this. Yet, as we have seen from the latest chapter the mountain “Spent all night consuming” Yunseong, a mountain that is responsible for the creation of Beom. The argument was not on the matter of “malicious” nature. So much as in the act of what nature is in the hierarchy of how things are consumed in a predatory versus prey nature. I used such an example to strip from the moral compass that we may impose on Beom to say that what he did is “wrong” in his mind this is natural. His reasonings are the depth of the metaphor he represents Id say, but the “nature “ of his actions in how he behaves instead of finding another alternative solution to fill that hole in himself in a more “humane” way, is opposed to the being that he is and the understanding how how human love works. His understanding and structure of it is as you said. Take their place, consume the person that was getting the love so that he can “become” who they are. Nature of a predator, with no malice.
In the matter of Yunseong, I still argue that it is manipulative. He understood that he would never receive the love that he wanted back, and yet while we never have him outwardly stating his expectations, it is very clear in the actions. No one with healthy boundaries in a relationship will allow for someone to continuously take from them and give nothing but surface intimacy and broken communication in return. Again looking to the latest chapter “He used to like me so much, what happened” He blames Beom as disrupting the relationship of things, expecting and hoping for Yunseong to take his place, and not to question anything on their relationship, his expectations of their dynamic is the manipulation.
One can be manipulative without direct intention, or in this case, without using statements of power and control. The comfort provided, the warmth, the love, all with the expectation of it to be accepted, and the relationship continued, and Geonpil to “like” him in his broken way, is the manipulation.
just wanted to say both you and the person who asked you this question are amazing at understanding and consuming media. so many people read this manhwa and cant seem to grasp the story, or water it down to 'red flag' 'green flag' without acknowledging that both hyung and geonpil are painfully human with all their flaws and no one is really black and white, while beom isnt human at all and doesnt even understand what it means to become human. i've always been a yunseong defender but hearing your arguement really opened my eye, 'One can be manipulative without direct intention, or in this case, without using statements of power and control' is the perfect way to describe yunseong's situation and i didnt consider this at all. ur whole comment thread is so well written wow im amazed!!
Thank you so much! I am glad I chose to go out on a limb and share, it’s been really nice to converse with yall back and forth on this. It definitely takes the reading experience on another level!
Please fix those fuck ass porcupine bangs. The man looks like he has an inverted fork on his head. Is distracting asf.
I love his dumb porcupine haircut very abstract must I say
stop thats what makes him.. unique.
I get that we want a new chapter. So thanks for the efforts uploader, but if you’re going to do so please at least check the order. If it’s not possible to do it right, let us have some patience! Thank you!
I’m so tired of the freaking amnesia route! Can we please just do something else. It’s stressing me the hell out.
right like where are the babies? he have yet to get a family outing
Exactly. Poor man can’t catch a freaking break. Author-San needs a swordfish slap.
This really makes me so damn angry. No one should be forced into pregnancy. I understand that their son wants a sibling, but the fact that the MC’s family, friends and everyone else despite knowing the full story is still trying to just shove it onto him. What if he does and he is so much worse off health wise. Would that settle well on your conscious? I know it’s not that serious, but damn it makes me so effin angry.
I also know from someone else in these comments sayings it’s going to happen from the raws. So it’s sealed in fate, but this honestly, ugh. I can’t say I will do a DNR. I know myself too well, but I will be complaining about it for a moment longer. SO ANNOYING!
I agree! It ticked me off so bad as wellNo one should be forced to get pregnant just because you feel bad for a kid. Like, they're not your responsibility at the end of the day, it's the parents that does the parenting. And I know for a fact how exhausting parenting can be, especially if the mom is still VERY VOCAL ABOUT NOT WANTING TO HAVE A SECOND CHILD YET. why does nobody there get that?
also to add to this, just the reason of having another child BECAUSE your first child wants one is like treating the second child like a toy or something. You know that feeling that you have to give a child what he wants so he'll stop crying? like that. They all KNOW having a second child will endanger uke's health so why push it? Because they feel bad for the kid? how about for the one giving birth? I'm pretty sure that their eldest won't even remember asking for a sibling in the future, like most people do!
they literally are lacking consideration it pisses me off so bad
Now the tattoo on Guwon’s neck makes so much more sense. That is crazy detail.
