Was homosexuality not regarded as normal in ancient Greece, or what? Did the author research everything about Greece except how homosexuality was treated there when they ARE LITERALLY writing a gay story, lol? MC just hurls about how they are both men and worried about the 2nd ML being disappointed that he's a guy. Bro, you are in ancient Greece, like, please.
Gods and people were literally bisexual and homo sexual (〜￣△￣)〜
So no one will call her out for sexually assaulting the MC or forcing him to kiss her? Really???? I was oogling her at first for being hot, but after she did that to MC, it was a huge turn-off. She is trashier than her husband, in my unpopular opinion; at least her husband was just a cheater, whereas she, on the other hand, is sexually assaulting people. Also, there is something called bisexuality. I don't know why people are saying here that the husband is straight and removing the idea that he can also be attracted to men because he is attracted to his wife. I'm sorry to break it to you if you find men attractive and want to fuck them, you are not straight. Maybe socially you are, but sexually you are not.
I agree...it's lowkey funny how one group of yaoi readers will call a woman toxic just for existing and breathing in a gay world (peak misogyny)... and another group of yaoi readers will call a abusive manipulative woman a "baddie" (peak misandry)... this is so sad that people lack media literacy like bruh we are reading a story about a masochist cheating husband , a male prostitute mc , a gold digger ex hostess wife ..... ALL OF THEM ARE TRASH !!
Her husband is not even pure gay, he just needs spanking and BDSM to get an erection. She is very ungrateful.
Ironically, even the latter is misogynistic, since sex crimes committed by women are not that serious to them lol.
Hey, Mr., you beat gay people around because they made out where you were watching, but other people can't do the same with you when you are making out with a guy? Shouldn't you be understanding? You should get beaten around because of it, tbh. At least other gays were in a room; you, on the other hand, were outside. Anyway, his character pisses me off.
That aside, can I say how cruel it is to the MC for getting a homophobic boyfriend? The guy went through so much because of homophobia, and he got a guy who won't shut up about how gay men are gross. "YOU ARE THE ONLY MAN." Great, the guy you like is still a man. You are gay STFU.
If this is a spin-off of Frozen Boy, shouldn't Frozen Boy be picked up first? I will wait for Frozen Boy to get translated first before reading this one, which will take forever. I have been waiting for it for 2 years. And from what I have seen, I know the art of this one is worse than Love So Pure, but Frozen Boy came AFTER Love So Pure. I know people are saying it's the author's first manhwa, but I think if Frozen Boy came out after Love So Pure, then the same goes for this manhwa. I don't see information about this manhwa on MangaUpdate, so it must be new.
Holy moly, it took me so much time to realize this is the same artist of The Stranger in the Mirror. Omg, such disappointment. I liked that work so much. I know she got so much hate for The Stranger in the Mirror; that's why she dropped it, but she dropped THAT and not this? Really???? Can I say how much I hate when it comes to psychology in BL, it's always rape? It's just unoriginal, and I'm just tired of it, like, I know when I see a psychological tag in BL, I know it will be mostly about rape. And I just don't understand why people feel so strong about this one. There is barely any story to it, and the character just keeps getting raped 90% of the manhwa. Also, the artist seems more like she sexualizes it than trying to make people uncomfortable about it.
Not hate but story of stranger in the mirror is based in china since they made chinese people and govt military bad also korea has bad history with china so many people attacked artist , but artist wanted to continue working on that work but that work goes into more dark politics which hurted people sentiments ig so she has dropped that and she picked another political based storyline "barge in" which is set in korea so there won't be any problem for it.
Author enjoys this. Ain't no way they don't
Oh. That's why the art is similar
Yeah, I know; it's just that this one is way problematic. I don't think the artist wanted to complete the stranger in the mirror because she herself said that. I mean, it makes sense it's brought her a lot of problems, but it's nut that this one didn't get the hate, 90% of the story is rape. Like, people keep saying it's just fiction when it comes to rape, but God forbid an author make something political in their work. THAT's the line that they can't cross.
Politics is actually dirty we can't sugarcoat what artist made is like she made it based on north Korea more and many people with money in kroew would want to read it you won't believe it's best selling and top on ridibooks english audience doesn't read it or doesn't even know it but korea they love to read it a lot i actually can guess cuz artist did god work to show the expressions of characters that show they as creepy disgusting as ugly as possible except ryujin. Beside hime everyone are same time. Stranger in the mirror she wanted to continue it but her company told her to call off so what she can do? ..
But she said it was her least favourite work that she worked on, so she dropped it; it's on her final note. Read it yourself. except if she changed to "actually the publisher made me drop it." I don't know why you keep explaining her position on this, like I agree with you three times by saying, "I understand why she dropped it." It's just beyond me why that one got her shit, but this didn't. I know you are saying, 'But the author made them make creepy faces,' but just look how many people are bookmarking the rape scenes. Those scenes are clearly made to be sexualised. I don't know how you don't see it? Do I think that we should ban rape from fiction? No, I'm against censorship, but it's hypocritical to make authors censor themselves when it comes to politics, but when it comes to sexualising rape, it's fine and dandy.
I read artist"s side not from stranger in the mirror and she was disappointed to drop story she wanted to draw very beautiful scene from novel but couldn't i don't know why you are hating on artist but for me shin is disgusting after knowing his character so for me he is creepy and disgusting... Even if we know rape happens in fiction plot it's not mean that we should always put everything in reality ... What I m only trying to tell that it sell a lot in korea compared to English reading audience and I won't even defend this story cuz it actually sucks except ryujin cuz he suffered a lot ... Since I read whole novel I m still traumatized if hating it can make you stop reading it then do cuz I personally have hate or like with it and i actually respect artist for showing human bad sides in dystopia.... I hope you got my point rather than attacking me
I genuinely didn't attack you; I tried to be nice about it. Maybe I forgot she said that? I don't know... Also, I know it might surprise you, but I don't hate the artist; I'm more mad at the people who made her drop it. I just found it hypocritical that they found a problem with that one but not this one. Actually, I'm grateful that she brought "Stranger in the Mirror" to life. Her art was actually so good that it was suited the manhwa; it's just sad that it got dropped.
Sometimes countries ties play important roles south korean doesn't have good history with japan and china that's why people found it problematic compared to "barge in" which is set in korea and more likely north korea like .... I also like stranger in the mirror, but she might love to ti work in challenging stories compared to cliches her art is absolutely beautiful but get limited cuz of stories she works in. But i see her instagram account and X some extra art are good , i know you didn't even if u diss or hate this story i don't care cuz it shouldn't be anyone's frvt in the first place lol so it's alright but her art is unique and shows characters side which most artist has hard time of showing "expressions" and detailing tooo.
The MC will have "new flesh" with yin energy? That smells like male pregnancy. Please tell me I'm wrong and I'm overanalyzing; otherwise I'm dropping it. Like, it will suck to read a manhwa again where the author drops male pregnancy in the middle of the manhwa, AGAIN. Like, I read 55 chapters of this.
His flesh will be made anew. Meaning that he will get a new body for himself. Since his body is weak and crumbling, he needs a new one to live. It doesn't mean that a new body (child) will be made in him. Of course, idk if there will be mpreg or not. Just that this particular line isn't talking about
Yeah, I know, but you never know. I was not thinking that the child would come with the new flesh but more of MC "new body" having the capability of making children. I get jump-scared with this plot every time. But thank you for your reply.
My bad, I misinterpreted your comment. Yeah it very well could go that way, I also had the thought the author would give his new body a uterus or something. And the raws and translations come out simultaneously so there's no way to know ahead of time sorry. It might be better to marinate for a bit? Until it's clear whether or not it's gonna get mpreggy
So are you telling me—(I'm sorry, guys, I will use the top/bottom thing—the MC and ML don't work on this one because the top is the MC, and you just keep getting things confused)—that the bottom was staring so hard at those man arms and still won't call himself gay or bi or something? Do the authors even know what these words mean? Like, I'm sorry, but if you like a huge man's arm, then you are gay or bi, aka you find men sexually appealing. It doesn't matter if he "is the only man. " Never mind the sexual assault thing, but since the bottom is doing the SA, no one gives a shit, I guess. I can't believe I was waiting for this for a whole ass year. Such a disappointment. I was looking forward to it so much; BL with Top as MCs is so rare to find .
sorry i meant to like T_T
it's fine, don't worry about it
aisha pfp in the wild
woah nice to know there are people here who know the game!
i used to play elsword in 2014 with my friends good times
I stopped reading at chapter one. At first, I thought the story was interesting; it would be interesting if the manhwa tackled subjects about the lover's death and saving a kid from suicide and its results, but instead, it's turned into Dear Teddy Bear V2, at least Dear Teddy Bear had a bad ending for the ML. I don't think it will happen the same with this one. I think it's a wasted potential.
Can u tell me what happen in dear teddy bear? I kinda forgot how it end or maybe I haven't read the last chaps? I forgot huhu so plz remind me how it ends? ( T﹏T )┛
Idk if id really call it a bad ending for ML since ML and MC still have contact, but top ends up in prison for murder
Oh yeah! I did remember that one where the ML being imprisoned. so did the MC love him or what? did he forgive him then?
Idk, it’s left purposefully ambiguous but ends with a scene of MC working in the prison as a tutor? ML is completely blind by this point, so doesn’t realise it’s him until like, last panel, then it cuts
I dont think that was him. They didnt show the face I just thought the top was losing his mind lol
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't ML end up on death row? I'm sure he got the death penalty. I think that a bad ending for him.
From what I remember, he got the death penalty.
Idk that’s why I said purposefully ambiguous
It's cute. But are you telling me the ML remembered the guy's username and him having earrings just by watching him once, while he said he didn't even enjoy the stream? huh? It would have made more sense if the author had made him bi or gay and he just happened to like his streams, but I don't know why authors avoid this kind of plot like a plague. It's always because "he just happened to stumble on it once." "This is not the first time an author is guilty of that.
Since this one was forever in chapter 78 and it's "ongoing" in MangaUpdate, it's safe to assume it's dropped or at least in a long hiatus. As much as I want to take a look at D. Jun's Weibo page for updates, Weibo won't let me look without creating an account. I saw people are stating Bilibili says it's completed, so I think it's dropped.
