Dont get me wrong, the art is hot but the fact that nothing happened to the blondie who literally raped eunchong pisses me off so much. and the fact that eunchong has such a lukewarm anger towards the blondie for the sexual assault! when he's quite literally a christian that grew up very rooted to catholicism! He should've had a more explosive reaction towards being assaulted and realizing that he's starting to have sexual thoughts about a guy. this was so boring, i need more angst
Yeah, unfortunately it's typical in this type of series to give some 'rape' for angst only (also for rape fetish of course), without addressing it correctly, well... many series are just focused on porn, not plot (when you have a series with sex scene in the first chapter, yep, will be for 80/90% focused mostly on sex in any possibile context without proper plot), and based on this author's previous work, I wouldn't expect good storytelling, just porn, so better reading this with brain turn off and not treat it seriously
Was simply saying my stance on how they made his reaction boring asf but still made him go thru all that effort of avoiding the blondie. Ive read worst stuff imaginable, i just like criticizing lol. also oblivious uke? the mf clocked it was one of his friends from the get go. hes not oblivious, hes aware and in denial. the way the author made him handle this denial when he's a devout christian was just nothingburger. no need to get your panties in a twist if someone has a different opinion than u
if i watch boring shit like heartstopper i wouldnt he here LOL ive read the worst things imaginable, i just like criticizing. also oblivious uke? that mf clocked it was one of his friends from the get go, hes not oblivious, hes just in denial. im just sharing my thoughts about how the author poorly handled his reactions when they had him go through the effort of avoiding his friends for TEN DAYS (which was also glossed over). he was a devout christian before allat, someone feeling disappointed that his reaction was such a nonburger shouldn't get your panties in a twist
I know, just disappointed that it was such a nonburger reaction when they had him ghost his bestfriends for 10 days but then after seeing the blondie again after everything, he just bantered with him. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
hoping hes just processing the trauma so we can have a nice chasing arc but that seems like a high wish
Yes, it's really rare to get a well written story these days, especially toxic ones, because majority of authors are focused on an easy money, and let's be honest, angst and sex sell well, and in this webtoon scroll through system visuality is the most important for many, so mostly awe get rape porn slop series instead of plot driven ones with well throughout characters and consistency, quantity over quality, where rape is not the only plot device to express toxicity, but well, it requires writing skills what is not common unfortunately. There are good series of course, but platforms are also mostly on what sells well so they promote authors with a good artstyle and sex focused story, no matter the context. And to be honest, it's quite insane how some readers connect yaoi only with rape porn, where the whole point in yaoi is to have boys love with sex scenes as part of the story (unlike shounen-ai, where there is BL but no spicy scenes), not to make them in constant non-con, but I assume they're just minors with raging hormones so basically, regarding this one, yeah, better not to expect too much, just another porn slop
Had been disappointed with some of the psychological bl manhwas here bcs it lacked the mindfuckery that made me whisper "wtf" every other page but this one delivered. the art being hot was also an added bonus (*´ω`*)
Do you have any other recs? I've already read checkmate and Llewellyns
