I personally am not a fan of the whole pseudo incest plot, although, I think something that would have made the plot a lot more easy to stomach and still have the whole step sibling relationship (like the author so clearly wants) would to have something more similar to what was seen with cherry blossoms after winter (I stopped reading that after the first couple seasons I have no clue how it is now) where they had the MC is introduced to the family after a tragedy and is adopted into a close family friend, it establishes a “familial” tie but creates more distance. Yet I feel by making the parents be married it creates more issues by creating a deeper familial tie in the relationship because no matter what you’ll always have a direct familial connection. Because of that I feel that’s why the scene where the ML has a flashback after watching those two brothers after they ran into him made it more disturbing because it in a way shows the ML tainting that pure brotherly love into something more sinister. Of course I’m writing this as my own personal interpretation and I don’t think I will be continuing this manhwa, others may enjoy it I don’t think this is something for me.
I agree that it creates less distance but I think that's the intent behind this dynamic. It's meant for the reader to grow concern over there relationship, and some can even consider this grooming (which it is) but that isn't a poorly thought out mistake. When the author made them step bros it wasn't just in name but in their connection with one another. I really like it but I can see why u and other's weren't expecting this much of a familial relationship, and the problems that arise with such incestuous relations.
wtf is with all this unnecessary rape like wtfffff. There was no need to have him be raped by his what I’m guessing is his assistant. Especially when the author is trying to portray him as someone who pushes against the standard just to have him held back and forced into it. Also hasn’t the assistant lasted all this time by his side holding back but now he suddenly can’t. If I had known getting into it that the author would try and pull some love triangle type shit I more likely than anything would have never picked it up. Like holy shit can the rape and SA stop because ultimately it provides nothing to the plot, instead it continue to fetishize this idea that it’s okay. I understand this has always been a thing for yaoi but at some point you’d think with the rise of people who’ve been critical of it they’d try and at least lessen the amount or only use it if it’s pertinent to the story/plot.
completely agree with everything u said nobody gaf about the love triangle the author just wanted to include this rape fetish BS in the story and toed the line but I never thought it would actually happen. and rape being the season finale too like oh ok. and his reaction to it will make everyone victim blame him it just reinforces the same dumbass regressive slop
I know and I hated how the author is just completely throwing out this narrative that he could hold himself against others. Like can he just not be capable and from previous instances he doesn’t seem like the type of person to let it slide I would’ve expected that he’d have him “ dealt with” in a way
yes!! this was one of the few omegaverse stories I’ve read bc the mc was different from the stereotype of being weak, submissive, and constantly vulnerable to SA. whiplash to portray him otherwise and then finish the season with him being victimized into that exact stereotype. my stupid ass got my hopes up knowing bl authors love to ruin their stories for the sake of including rape. and now he’s downplaying being raped and everyone is mad at him im tired











May this author never caught by the Chinese authorities
Dude
IM SO SCARED FOR HER
Honestly I don’t want to wait 10 years for the next update
