Its giving whiplash that the author is actually aknowledging the rape as what is is and Nakwon realizing the severity of it but is still pursuing a relationship with Mokhwa.. like huh??
Just don't include rape into the plot then bro what the hell it just feels unnecessary to the plot like he could have just beat him up instead or the author could've come up with literally anything else like how are you gonna make a rapist character and then start being like aww... but he regrets it now so its ok NO?? hes a fucked up person why are we trying to excuse his actions??
the aknowledgement feels pointless in the end cause i know they'll somehow end up together.
idk why in bl the always have to make a rape apologist plot bruhh,, like the plot is pretty good and the characters aren't flat and have personality, but it all gets ruined with the rape apologist mindset it's so annoying how often authors love to use it
I like the artstyle and the start of the story, but I took a pretty dissapointing turn imo.
I mean i knew it was gonna be like this because it seems to be impossible for bl authors to create an actual concensual healthy relationship, but I was just dissapointed about this one since it was tagged as psychological with a pretty realistic premise : Aoki having masochistic traits manifested by his abuse as a child.
I get that the point is him getting to know his sexuality and stuff that turns him on, but like bro still got sexually assaulted and blackmailed by Tengoku. Discovering a sexuality is one thing but its still legit just assault and I thought the story would aknowledge it even a little and maybe show how it affected him with noticing things about himself or something, but no, they end up in a cute relationship even though Aoki was legit being blackmailed into sex at the start like what
Tengoku's little fucking substory pissed me off so bad like, dude,,, you steal all of your brothers boyfriends and when he finally lashes out at you suddenly youre like..omg my brother hates me..now i can never show my feelings to anyone... like bro stfu noshit hes pissed at you?? AND HE EVEN RAN AFTER YOU APOLOGIZING WHEN IT SHOULDVE BEEN THE OTHERWAY AROUND OMG cry about the fact that ur parents arent home by yourself why tf are you making it your brothers problem like this motherfucker started practicing his manipulation techniques young bruh fucking creep
Carlos is the only one who called out his creep behavior when Tengoku tried to come onto him aswell and his fucking fiancee just laughed about it like "lol! Oh classic brother just sexually assaulting people !!" and Carlos still tries to have a relationship with him ?? Like whyy is this adult fucking man coddled so much he faces no consequenses for his rapey ass actions bruhh
Also why tf did they have to add the fucking fujoshi bruh The romanticized toxic relationship is enough, why tf did the author have to throw a fetishsizer in the mix as well.. I feel like the more I read the more this story is pissing me off, but I guess I'm drawn to bullshit cause thats what this story is and I'm still reading
Man like i feel so sad seeing how much effort Aoki is putting into the relationship.. apologizing for mistakes he makes, wanting to be open with the relationship like broo do that with someone who deserves it not your rapist please,,
And if thats not enough I was literally about to chew through my phone when the 'meeting the mom arc' came along ohmyydaysss bro of fucking course the author is about to humanize her, and not really aknowledge the abuse in a proper way omfg.. and the fact it was Tengoku who was comforting Aoki about the abuse bro dont fucking play with me rn bro thats so fucking hypocritical coming from this fucker
I Was actually so surprised when he noticed himself in that moment like, oh shit im lowkey as bad of an abuser as his mom lol! ..But then I remembered that this is a fucking manga bl so ofc theyll still end up together, and obviously the assault is in the past and now they've gotten to know eachother and are in such a healthy relationship, so it would make no sense for them to break up over such trivial things!!!!! ..I swear I lose more brainsells the more I read these
Anyway I've been reading this manga since the first chapter hit this site. I Just reread it and I just couldnt shut up about it anymore lol
It had a lot of potential but the classic rapist to lover trope that the bl authors love to use ruined it, I was expecting better but I guess life is unfair lol
