1. Father had no luxury of becoming an artist, worked hard to give it to his wife and son, grew resentful of them for not appreciating and taking it as seriously as he would have.
2. Mother gave up music to raise a child, indirectly blames him for this and guilt-trips into following in her footsteps.
3. Yoseop and the others fell in love on their own, made sacrifices to have him, then blamed him for the consequences of these choices.
Always blamed for sacrifices he never asked to make. Always resented, despite doing what’s told, even at own expense. A victim of other people's selfishness disguised as goodwill. If everybody can be like this, why not him?
“Age gap”, “toxic ml”, “love triangle” yaoi … this story is about different paths to success. The teacher is written this way to serve the plot, not to let you vicariously experience a toxic romance through the MC.
Naeun’s talent (and arrogance ) is the result of her parents’ wealth, encouragement and connections.
Youngjo relies on his charms, looks, body, and dirty tricks to get ahead.
The only thing Garam has is no luxury to fail. This was the reality for many living Greats across different fields, who had to lift their families out of poverty in the only available way or were trapped in exploiting contracts.
Since Garam was the only student with no parental $upport, the teacher got him in to add more pressure. I assume that he himself followed the same path, knows it is the most effective way and wants to prove this to others.
Exactly. The story doesn't end either once the mc and the professor gets together. Majority of the narrative is about Garam’s growth as a musician and his journey of finding his place in that world.
thank you! one of my favorite parts of this story is the way it fleshes out each character and shows their humanity uniquely. it does it so well over the course of nearly 200 chapters now, and i really hope people stick with it long enough to see how great it is. it’s much more than your typical BL.
Yeah, I fell in love with this story when I read the first couple of chapters and felt like love isn't the center of it. I'm kinda tired of those manwhas that are only about love, like yeah they are good and I read them but it's always good to be about something more. In my opinion, there's nothing better than it being about something else and having love in it, cuz life is like that. Live usually doesn't revolve about love alone but there are a bunch of things that come with it
that’s so beautiful, you really couldn’t have put it any better!!
>flashbacks of injections and SA (human experiments?)
>sick for two weeks (heat?)
> wants to be penetrated but not by a (can get pregnant?)
> two kids, both wives missing ( he gave birth?)
> trans woman appears at the beginning, a mention of going overseas for surgery (foreshadowing?)
> new world order
youre actually cooking and i think im in love with you,, it makes sense cuz if u look at the church flyer it says smth abt perceiving the scent of roses emanating from Him which could be about pheromones,, i feel like the guy was chosen to play as the prophet of the church (with his dad being an elder of said church) which is why they experimented on him. and roses are seen on the background of the injections
and if u look closer theres smth abt alpha and omega in the same flyer fuckkk im gonna bust
you are brilliant my dumbass is not thinkin big enough
why would he be able to get pregnant?
omg, you're so intelligent
nvm i get it now. i just hope the kids with him currently are just kids he saved or something and not products of rape
As a result of human experiments ( pharmaceutical company linked to a cult, flashbacks of injections). If you mean why would they do it to a man, I can think of a few reasons: a). to fake a “divine miracle” to keep cult members? b). to create something particularly impressive to attract investors in the pharmaceutical company? c). A trait exhibiter (omega) can birth other trait exhibitors (alphas), rich people “obtain” such genetically modified humans from this pharmaceutical company to have superior offsprings (this was a thing from another omegaverse)
Why are you fucking cooking so much in here! I didn’t even pay attention to the flyer. What the fuck
wait what r u saying twin i cant see
Sorry, I was like “
It keeps silencing me omg… I was like “omg the roses *eyes emojis* “
omg wouldve never thought of this
Random babies in traumatic stories like Corrosive are why I think my prayers to the yaoi gods have been misinterpreted
I'm conflicted. I know omegaverse is fundamentally just a backdrop to facilitate mpreg and horny bullshit, but the way so many creators write omegaverse as basically any modern industrialized society where the bioessentialism is true and justified, with all the same gender roles, norms, oppression and misogyny, just applied also to some men is unsatisfying and doesn't make sense to me if a/b/o dynamics were always a part of human biology. if omegaverse dynamics were always a thing in the story universe, i'd expect cultures to have significant differences and variations in what's expected/normal/enforced for each trait from trait/gender roles, to courtship and marriage, to sex itself. people could totally be getting freakier with it!!! (but they don't because marketability, lack of creative investment, incuriosity/unwillingess to imagine differently, good worldbuilding can be hard etc.) and also no one wants to seriously grapple with trans people in omegaverse (and arguably the concept is rooted in transphobia to begin with since it's all about *cis* men getting pregnant even though trans men are right there) and that kind of cheapens even some of the worthwhile reflections it might make on homophobia, sexism and misogyny.
so settings where a/b/o is a recent development make more sense and are more interesting to me if all the same real-life baggage applies, just with a new coat of paint.
all that to say, it would be kind of a dream come true if this creator actually dropped an a/b/o surprise because it would be "new phenomenon a/b/o", and I trust them to handle trauma and abuse better than the grand majority of creators popular rn, AND this story has already acknowledged the existence of trans women at least, so there could be something interesting done with that. there would be some interesting character conflicts if a/b/o came into play...
BUT! it's not tagged that way on the official eng site and the evidence used to advance the 'seong su is a prototype omega' hypothesis could just as straightforwardly be the "cult escapee deals with his feelings for hyeondo amidst past trauma and ongoing threat" plot that has been presented so far. so I imagine what we've seen so far is what we'll get - no surprise SF here.
either way, I can't wait to see where things go!
Professor is the nastiest mf yaoi has ever seen. Spit, vomit, snot, cum, morning breath, unwashed bussy… he doesn’t give a fuuuck. Must have been divining into those ladies’ seas any day of the month, too
