man i wish this was just a good old cowboy x cowboy BL, the slavery theme is NOT it, genuinely baffling how this was seen as a good plot to make for your next webtoon after a 2 year break, like a genuine group of people like editors and other people assisting, not just the author, saw this and decided "yup theyre gonna LOVE this one"
oh but if it was based on the horrible stuff with korea's history of comfort women and their other horrendous oppressive incidents from that time THEN it would be bad huh? i fail to understand how people dont understand the implications of depicting slavery like this is extremely shitty behavior and how no one not even one person who was involved in the process of the official release of this even blinked an eye at it
if it werent jaxx im pretty sure more people would be complaining, but seriously, dont just think that "oh its the first chapter im sure they'll handle it well once it builds up", this shouldnt be the main dynamic of their relationship in the first place
also to the people saying that jaxx will do their research and do the theme justice, sure the execution might be alright in the end, but i personally feel that it shouldn't be part of the plot in the first place, go ahead and make a power dynamic couple i dont care, but i think a sensitive topic like slavery shouldnt be the way
no i completely agree with that, its more of how its seen as a sensitive topic in korea, like how topics that should be seen as obviously wrong like racism (although not just racism) are often undermined, but how its commonly seen that when you bring up any topics related to the dark history of korea during the war they do seem to take it seriously, its just that they should also do the same for things like slavery, non-consensual themes commonly seen in media, etc.
sometimes i get flashbacks of the things people said he's done in trace and have to pretend the whole trace stuff never happened bc im never gonna read trace anyways and would rather just think of this as its own story lol
also i do love this still but the gaps between the chapters feel a TAD bit long for the newer chapters, still gonna trust the process though!!!
now tbf there isnt that much in common but i recently played sweet pool and lowkey it reminded me a bit of this BL, the whole mpreg thing along with the religious horror aspect, they’re both unique in their own ways ofc and this definitely isn’t that similar its just that when i was playing it i was like OHHHH THIS SEEMS FAMILIAR








the final chapter is INDEED chapter 39, after that theres a 2 week hiatus and an epilogue which is said to be released by then
