I knew not to fully read this, and jinx, and not get fully invested, and tricked into reading with these handsome Semes. Because at the end of the day, was it really needed? I read through the spoilers in the comments, and it doesn’t really make sense. It doesn’t really solve his mission or add to the plot. It’s just a cycle of grape, and a splash of Stockholm syndrome to save the plot or have a fake sense of chemistry. And it makes it worse when you have such a headstrong uke, watching a man get demasculinized and lose his morals, then get turned gay like you can’t even go back straight after that, that’s so traumatic LMAOOO
“Demasculinized” being “turned” gay doesn’t automatically make you less masculine and taekjoo is still strong by the end of the novel
You’re right! It can’t be limited to physical capabilities or gender roles. The better term will be demoralizing. I feel like him and the lawyer from roses and champagne are staying out of fear, more than chemistry. It would be more understandable, if both mc’s were psychotic, and unhinged, it would be more leveled. But I just hate the predator and prey trope
Yeh, it was really not good as everyone thinks it is. It's always taekjoo who suffers and gets hurts and tortured by zhenya while zhenya all have the good things and never suffer like taekjoo. The most stupid thing is, taekjoo still fell in love with him and they're still together :))
This is one of the only BL that I’ve read that have kept my attention for so long. The main thing I love about the story is the character development, and every character has come such a long way. And I love how they let their characters process their feelings and abuse, especially Isabell. When I read that chapter when she was listening on their conversations like I understood her 1000%. Like the plot is so good OMG. ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
