Whats this about before I jump into it? Is it good? Is there rape? I see some comments about it going from toxic to healthy.
Doing this cause reviews are gone rn lol, thank you in advance!!
And now I'm here with my goofy ahh actually feeling bittersweet that it's over
Should NOT have trusted the comments. I miss reviews. This is incredibly unenjoyable to read, the mc seems way too child-coded to be an adult, the ml is just straight up unlikable, and every time they do it has me uncomfortable as all hell cause the mc constantly pushes the ml away until he gives in or is overpowered. Ts sucks, and it is DEFINITELY NOT well written I swear things just happen in this damn story and we don't like linger on em long enough to process it?? Like I don't even know how to explain it, things just happen so suddenly and it leaves me both overwhelmed and then empty?? dropped ugh.
Je-oh getting to do NORMAL things and live a normal life?? Never thought I’d feel like crying over seeing him feeding a fish and just getting to live a tranquil enough life where he can breathe, STOP
Does anyone have the raws on this I just wanna know if he actually ends up with the barista or am I just wasting time here
Look, if it's gonna be toxic, make em both freaks, I'll eat that up all day over a damsel in distress x stupid ahh toxic man
It was about a gangster type guy who comes back to an island he lived on as a child, at an orphanage. He runs into his childhood friend who he finds out is selling his body to keep the orphanage running and helps him.
This is a great story...in theory. I really enjoy parts of this story, but deep down, I know the only reason I finished is cause of sunk cost fallacy. I usually drop a story if I've just gotten too far in and not enough is engaging me, but this one, I really just wanted to see the happy ending. But honestly, the story really shouldn't have been as long as it was. I reread this story a few times, but at some point, whenever I'd come back, I got lost, I felt tired that I was yet again watching SA, or I was just exasperated. It's very needed to see rep for victims, but there's a point where explicitness is overdone, and it's being done just to show it.
I think I'm a lil bit of a hypocrite, maybe. I can read these kinds of things because I'm comfortable enough to know I specifically can handle it. I've read things like Stigma, which explores themes like this, albeit on a lesser scale. But at some point, I think I gotta ask myself, is this serving to respect victims, or just show it off like trauma porn and shock value. Again, I love parts of this story, glad I saw it to the end, but I felt gross sometimes by how often I'd read a chapter and it was just...more SA. Just cause.
NEED MORE POLY!! PLEASE!! AND I DON'T MEAN WITH TWINS OR SIBLINGS, PLEASE GIVE ME HEALTHY POLY I'M BEGGING
I've read stories with tis concept or something similar so maybe that's why this one didn't land for me. It's honestly way too fast, and progresses their relationship too quickly. On top of that, the concept of the mc being able to read minds kinda loses momentum and is forgotten at certain points for the sake of the jealousy plot and I just really can't keep up. Really needed more build up but the author just jumped the gun to kickstart them having sex without giving it a proper dialogue :/
I wish it was longer so there was more time to develop things but I do enjoy how averse the main is at first to the "fated" attraction they both are feeling, how the ml tries hard to keep a distance despite his internal need to go after the mc, and the biting portion...omg, I've never seen a manga express how scary it is to be so delirious and then have your skin broken with a bite at your most vulnerable state and I love how it's portrayed here. Again, wish we'd had more time to flesh this stuff out but for how many chapters there are, I'm happy with what I got.
