He is pretty green coded, but it's going to be a while before he shows up again :c binged the novel

Ilay and Aaron are taking notes

That Yuri was a secret pedo :/ 25 years old and a 13 year old boy is your first love, it's such an odd thing to keep bringing to attention.
Do you know what “pedo” actually means? Did you even read Chapters 1–42 properly? Yuri has his own understanding of love, and it’s different from the kind of “first love” we usually think of.
And not once did Yuri view young Xinlu with that kind of desire, like a predator. He simply fell in love with Xinlu’s beauty, like a flower blooming in the water.
That’s how Yuri understands love, and I think it’s important to look at his character based on how the story actually portrays him.
Can't say I find 13 year old children as beautiful flowers,get off your high horse
people have no literary comprehension these days and with purity culture being rampant in the fiction community these days, yall are getting way too comfortable throwing around terms like pedo.
Not yall saing throwing word around? you should try to understand from others perspective bcuz this is how pedo say in reality like my cousins have someone who likes her talk exactly like this.... Not saying yuri is pedo however author should've try to portrayed his character more maturely for someone who is 13 years older than xinlu
The author clearly didn’t intend to portray Yuri as a pedophile, because everything we see in RAGA makes that very clear, especially since the story is told entirely from Yuri’s POV. Let me ask you this: aside from Yuri saying that Xinlu was beautiful like a flower, was there ever any attraction, sexual desire, or strong sexual fantasy toward young Xinlu? If there had been, then yes, that would mean he was a pedophile. But in reality, there was nothing even close to that.
Yuri is simply not a pedophile. That’s what the story shows us. And why did the author write the story this way? Because the author wanted to create a beautiful character who isn’t like people in real life, because Yuri only exists within that story. That’s how I understand his character.
you literally ARE throwing that word around. pedophilia is so serious but you guys always try to bring it into fictional nuanced concepts that you obviously cant grasp. It totally waters down its definition and its really annoying as someone who was SAd as a minor.
Do you lack comprehensive? Try to read my comments again
I didn't said yuri is pedo it's from my experience i'm saying that author worded it very wrongly if you still don't like it what i said about reality is bye. I'm not gonna reply!
Exactly i read it thoroughly and not even once has yuri taken a romantic interest in xinlu until after he saw him when he became an adult
He was just stunned when he first saw xinlu as a child that someone could be this beautiful and he said he went on with his life after than and dated but he couldn’t forget just how beautiful someone looked
Even in the latest chapters , him saying it was his first love is now linked to his current feelings
After knowing how horrible and bad of a person xinlu is as an adult he loved him ,
And it’s not like he was xinlu’s caregiver/ servant who was always attached to him
Merely saw him once or twice when he was a child then when he met the adult version he fell in love and remembered that was the beauty of the past
Idk .if we just took out the part that he rescued xinlu as a kid , wouldn’t the story make sense nevertheless?
maybe the author wants to make xinlu jealous of himself, and make xinlu realize that liking someone because they are similar is rude
(=・ω・=)
Feel free to leave this manhwa. We don't need readers who needs everything to be fed to them plain and straight like a brainless kid who doesn't try to use their brain to understand "literal depictions" of writings well and simply go around searching for unnecessary problems. If you want to throw a term to someone , know what the term actually means in the first place and if that term can actually be used here. Reading 42 chapters and understanding nothing , what a stupid bl reader.
YES exactly. @/nothings person keeps saying the author worded it weird, but thats so dumb to say considering these are translations. it does NOT come off weird in korean.
Ya dumb fuck lol
