I'll clarify something quickly: when he said, "Do you really think I don't know where you'd like it," he was referring to Uno's d*ck. He was holding it while saying that, and he's fully aware that Rian's only source of pleasure was through stroking and giving attention to his d*ck. However, Rian couldn't feel anything at that moment because he was cock-ringed, and of course Enzo knew that too, since his intention was exactly to prevent him from using his d*ck again and thus having s*x.
So, he prioritized his own pleasure first, and only after that did he attempt to give Rian some relief by stroking him. Unfortunately, at that stage, Rian was unable to respond anymore due to the pain he had endured.

So yeah, it's obvious Enzo wants to "punish" Adrian rather than pleasure him. It doesn't change the fact that a second chapter focusing only on torture and s*xual violence, when it's been like this since the comeback, is at this point becoming repetitive rather than impactful. When every chapter relies on the same cycle of grape, suffering and humiliation, it stops adding anything new to the story or the characters (doesn't necessarily deepen them or advance the story in a meaningful way, it just reinforces information the audience already understands) and instead feels like shock value being stretched out for far too long.
And after a while, constant gruesomeness stops feeling shocking or meaningful and instead becomes exhausting.

Also, another point: if every sexual encounter we're shown is framed around control, humiliation, or punishment, then there's no actual basis for claiming that Enzo is good at sex either.
If anything, whether he's actually good at pleasing a partner is still there to be proven, because the story has yet to show much evidence of it.

First, no, he's not referring to his dick. He's clearly mocking him before that, "Why it's not reaching the right spot?" right after Rian thinks, "like there's a fire inside, deep in my stomach..." And seriously let's not get to rewriting every line. Read it again, if it's not too hurtful. Anyway, accurate or not, he's using the ring to mess up Rian's sense of pleasure. That's clearly why Rian panics, not because Enzo touches his dick for a millisecond. That's really too obvious, considering what happens afterwards.

And... no, haha, there's definitely no claim that Enzo's good at sex! Lol, there's absolutely no evidence of that. I'm saying he knows how to give his partner pleasure, the signs are all there, but he's a psycho who despite knowing that denies them that pleasure... because he's sick in the head, it's punishment, he's more invested in altering another person's sense of self... all of that?

And I'm not going to get into that morality thing, since you're spending too much time on this story for someone who claims being extremely disgusted. It can be curiosity, the phycological thrill, hoping for consent, or even revenge, seriously anything... really, I don't care, but you don't get to judge other people, be it the author, other readers or a passerby.

So please after this, don't answer to my comments, I won't answer yours. They're annoying.

First of all, I’ll answer to your comment if I want to. You don’t get to decide that lol. If you don’t want a discussion, you’re free to stop replying.

Second, it's not my problem if you misunderstood where I was coming from. I never said he wasn’t mocking him or that the ring wasn’t involved "at all" in what was happening. Obviously he was, he was clearly deriding him ! The point is that Enzo still knows what actually affects him the most which is his d*ck. He knows what Rian responds to, what gets a reaction out of him, and he deliberately uses that knowledge against him.
He specifically targets the part of Rian’s body that was previously associated with his own pleasure (his d*ck) and uses it as a way to show him that he is taking that away and forcing him to rely on something else instead (the ring).
And he literally says afterwards "your precious little toy can't function anymore", "this is no longer your g*nital” and that "from now on you’ll use this/the ring instead". So yes, that still aligns with what I was saying: that line was referring to Rian’s d*ck and the way Enzo was trying to alter the way Rian experiences his own body and what he associates with pleasure (from d*ck to ring) thus why he said the earlier line !
So no, I wasn’t ignoring the ring or the scene. You just misunderstood the point I was making and ended up arguing against something I never said.

Also, stop putting words in my mouth. Funny that you brought up morality when that wasn’t even the point of my comment in the first place. Where did I mention morality or judge anyone ? I was literally talking about story structure and writing choices. Saying that repetitive scenes of suffering stop being impactful after a while is "media criticism", not a moral judgment of the author or readers. I can dislike the direction the story is taking while still being invested in it. I liked the premise and season 1, and just because I’m disappointed with where it’s going doesn’t mean I’m going to stop hoping the writing improves or that the story finds a better direction. Like wtf are you even on about ??

Criticising a story, its choices, or how certain themes are handled is not the same as judging every person who reads it. The fact that you jumped from “I dislike this direction” to “you’re judging other readers” is you adding an argument that was never there.
Maybe try responding to what I actually said instead of the version you created in your head.

And regarding the “we don’t know if Enzo is good at sex” part — that wasn’t even me making an argument against you ! It was an additional thought, not a claim I was trying to prove.
But considering how much of my original point was twisted into something I never said, I’m not surprised that part was misinterpreted as well.

Peace out !

I forgot to say I won't be reading your answers either, so have fun, lol

Yes of course you wouldn't, the same way you said you wouldn't reply but did reply, lol !

He is really a demon
He is Lorenzo Stefano hihi

That he is! I'm afraid he might even have a card to get away with all this later. Ugh, Rian and his half-ass spy-work (〜￣△￣)〜

I Love You!

uhm broski this is illegal site...

aint no author reading our comments

I would have loved to be able to agree with you, except that the thing is all these opening chapters of Season 2 were already drawn and completed since at least last year. So no, the story isn’t becoming more r*pey just because the fans are criticizing the r*pe, so yeah no.

Also, criticism isn’t the same as negativity, it’s constructive feedback. It just seems like some people can’t accept opinions that differ from theirs.

Seriously? I literally wrote "that's not how the internet works"
Other fans are reading, the ones who also leave hate comments on legal sites. This is a network; there's a chain effect.

No, I think the plot was already rapey, I think what's really happening here is that the plot is becoming lousy, since also no, the chapters aren't fully finished until they're uploaded.
I didn't say Hanse is reacting the same way as Oda, I said she's losing motivation. The story isn't as strong as the first season, because it was smashed too hard before, not on these recent chapters. So, maybe we can start trying not to destroy it from this point on?

Also, it’s not even about what’s good or bad, some moral debate, or whatever. It’s just that the chemistry isn’t there anymore, the s*xual tension between them is gone, so is the back-and-forth, and the things that used to make their dynamic so compelling have disappeared.
So yeah, obviously some people would feel disappointed and disheartened by it lol

Thank you, dear~

Yeah, so you have said many times.

But, dear, we’re not the ones destroying anything — the author is

I totally agree with your observation that comments here can sometimes discouraged other readers who still want to read the story esp. if the story is still not uploaded here.

No, dear, you're underestimating yourself and the power of a global network

And you underestimate the power authors hold over their own work. A global network can discuss, criticize, and have opinions, but at the end of the day, the direction of the story comes from the author.

Funny enough, authors themselves usually understand that criticism comes with creating something, it’s often the fans who struggle more with the idea that a work can be loved and still be criticized lol.

Ok, that's a good point. But I'm not underestimating the author, since she obviously had a strong plot and can create good art. But I'm also not underestimating her humanity, since she can be affected by cruel comments that are not productive criticism, something that happened too strongly during the first season.

So, while the plot was still doing its job before, already not appreciated by readers who had other expectations based on ANOTHER STORY (read: Red Candy), now it's almost... lost. That's sad. But once more, I'm not going to underestimate the author and hope they can make the story interesting again.

Ppl are gonna express their opinion. You can't control ppl. Though I understand it can be annoying to read hate comments on a manwha you like but you just gotta ignore it

As they should. I usually do exactly that, ignore, but repetitive negative comments are not helping anyone, definitely not the readers, the author, or the story. While I love BA and its unique plot, I do criticize it myself. I think the execution has gotten weaker this season, and the plot is turning a bit messy. What I'm saying is that too much negative reaction is pointless, and since it circles around the net, it also affects the author negatively. If it's not a story for us, we should just drop it, not attack the artist by saying the same thing over and over again.

Agree, choice of words and how to deliver it are really important to have a constructive criticism. You can feel the way they wrote whats in their heart and how it can affect to others.

I know it sucks but what can you do? the internet is a cesspool the comments on lezhin are more positive though...

Awww I notice that, too, comments on lenzhin are more positive maybe the big factor is because People on Lezhin are usually paying readers, so they're often more invested in the story and want to support the author.

While here so different, despite the fact you can read here for free with leaving the author with no benefits at all
