Damn, when I started reading this BL, I didn’t think it’d actually have plot. A twist where the original hero is not actually dead but has become the secret final boss isn’t something I thought I’d see in a BL where the sacred artifacts are dildos.
This author gets paid to publish their kinks and they did it twice. I admire that, tbh.
The manhwa: “Wait for me.” “I will.”
My brain: Wait for Me (Reprise) from Hadestown
Another thing I’ll add as I was looking at the raw ending is how Siwoo does NOT seem to even be interested in that random guy LOL
Being with another man because you can’t admit to yourself that you’re falling for a crazy wildcard… I will miss what a mess these two are.
Ohhhhhhh the author chose chaos. Good for them.
Editing to add that as I was reading the story, I was wondering how the hell the author would get these two together considering how crazy and messy they are. Turns out they’re not going to be together at all! LOL
It’s okay guys, I’m the snake’s husband now. He’s my wife and we’re happy with our three snake-hamster children. We have a dog and a lakeside vacation home that we go to on the summer.
I can’t tell if the dead guy is actually related to the uke or if he’s just brother as in his “hyung” as a term of endearment.
Sorry to the fans of the doc but the way the author draws him is like he’s just head empty up there lol which I guess is why he’s able to get fucked like a ragdoll. The man has no personality
“You need me more that I need you” goes hard af, props to you depressed rich lady.
This is what happens when a guy so rich he’s never had to actually work for what he wants like a decent human being meets a guy who knows he shouldn’t stick his dick in crazy but is just inexplicably attracted to the crazy.
Me after watching the new Scott Pilgrim show: I’m getting some Wallace Wells vibes from this uke.
That brown haired hyung was literally so perfect — why is he not the main lead?
Saw the raws for this. Black hair with the middle part is the bottom, for anyone that wants to know. I still like it but I was hoping for the other guy to bottom lol
I like to pretend they live in an alternate universe where sex is an actual love language that can substitute for talking.
The baby falling asleep to her dad’s heartbeat is so sweet, I’m getting cavities!! ╥﹏╥
I read this like a car crash about to happen — you know it’s messy and people will get hurt but you can’t look away. Narcissistic people who can’t understand how their narcissism is actually hurting others AND themselves are always fascinating to watch.
I think an older person actively rejecting the younger person trying to get with them is the exact opposite of grooming. He’s literally being a responsible adult.
And I think what’s the challenge here is for Hyo Un to make a case to Taehyuk that he’s not a child because he’s not even human — he’s a dragon and he doesn’t want to be treated like a human child. The question is will the story be able to convincingly pull off changing the way Taehyuk sees Hyo Un?
The comments section is going through extremes in opinions right now on if this is grooming or if it doesn’t matter since it’s just fiction. For me, even if it’s just fiction, a good romance story should be able to convince me that a relationship can still happen despite the odds. I can read taboo smut just fine but if the story is actually trying to have plot and character development, and it introduces complications like “one character has essentially raised the other character who has now declared love for them”, I need to be able to be won over by the storytelling on how this will be resolved in a way that isn’t out of character for anybody.
So yeah, I don’t think this manhwa has grooming, but I also think this manhwa has set up a situation where the uke fucking the seme as they are now would be bad character development, unless it’ll be able to somehow do a miracle shot of writing it believably.
