This story in a nutshell is kinda like: 'how to solve a self-inflicted problem that wouldn't exist if I weren't such a stubborn mule and could put my brain to use by THINKing, analysing and reflecting.'
But to each their own, i guess. (︶︿︶)＝凸
Genuinely asking: I'm not very familiar with Korean customs. Is it common that parents hit their adult children?
Taeseo you absolute manchild. Flipping out every second instead of communicating.
Put him in the diapers.
Huh, so this whole confinement/obsession/anger thing could have been done without rape all along — who knew?! -_-
(Dear author, pretty please don't make me eat my words! (●'◡'●)ﾉ)
Anyhow, if anyone doubted that the ML was a red flag, it was honestly their own fault. The signs were there all along. I just hope he stays true to his red flag and doesn't turn black.
Harming himself just to see his love interest is even more selfish than anything he has done in previous chapters. His whole thought process, where he wishes for Nanjo to feel guilty about his injuries/death, is a textbook example of the behaviour of a manipulative narcissistic abuser. Boy go to therapy and leave Nanjo alone wth.
Whenever I see Hyuna, I turn into a howling wolf looking up at the moon ...or rather a dog.
God I had forgotten how much I loved this story when I first read it. I need to go through my 8-10/10 list and read them peak manhwas again.
Story so shitty, but artstyle so nice and familiar that I had to look up whether it was written by the same author who wrote Low Tide in Twilight or not.
The character development and redemption are almost on a par with those of my boy Zuko. 10/10
In my head I decided that the side story is just different manhwa.
Good grief, this is painful to read. Although I feel bad for Mokyeon and his childhood experiences broke my heart, he deserves the shitstorm from Nanjo (although not the beating - any kind of violence = bad).
Having a hard life is not an excuse for making other people's lives harder or for not working on becoming a decent person.He has already met some good people and is able to recognise admirable traits in others. So technically, the groundwork is laid.
Sometimes I do genuinely think the best ending for many manhwas would be mcs and mls to die (that might be since I don't perceive death as something terrible but rather as a neutral experience given its inevitability and I also understand that many people see it as something horrible). I don't see how one can delude themselves into thinking all that was okay, come back from this treatment and continue to live with and cherish someone who has caused all their misfortune and tragedy (shout out to Steel Under Silk). No(t every) miserable mc should 'heal and forgive' and still end up with their abusers.
So we have two mls in "dumb and dumber" style - bad and worse. (︶︿︶)＝凸
Must mc choose between them? Staying single is also a choice.
That was my first ever yaoi and I love it so much. I'm so thankful that I was blessed with good start with this genre.
How tf is this normal? Imagine you have two childhood friends who you'd trust with your life and they are constantly RAPING you the moment you get drunk without any REMORSE!!! and as if THE SHITTY PLOT were not enough it's even written in a COMICAL tone.
Why is this fuckshittery normalised??
This manhwa is healing something in my heart's bl compartment, it did not break.
Could someone please make an enquiry specifically for Korean BL authors, asking only one question: Do you hate gay men?
The art is beautiful and the storyline is relatively good, but the uncontrollable and explicit r*pe scenes make it unreadable. They are not depicted as disgusting or dangerous. It's straight-up romanticisation of domestic violence in its most brutal form.
(I, at this point, have developed my own conspiracy theory as to why so many stories romanticise abusive relationships.)
P.S. stop sending these crazy mfs to Germany, send them to mental health facilities or even better, to jail.
I don't remember what my expectations were when I came here, but raising awareness about class consciousness was certainly not on my bingo card.
It was a gut-wrenching read, and the fact that similar or even worse things really happen in our world made it an even worse reading experience for me. 10/10
Well, if it's not a story of a local man (kitty sunbae) learning basic empathy and meaning of boundaries. Good for him I guess.
Happy for doggo to get to live his own life.
