Look, i'm not gonna shame anyone's kinks, especially in fiction. Fictional toxicity can be hot, since you are able to experience it from a controlled, safe environment as a reader, hurting no one and more importantly not yourself(unless you're a minor and your brain is still developing). Anyway, my point is: NEVER, EVER GIVE AWAY YOUR FINANCIAL DEPENDENCY TO ANYONE. ANYONE. NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU TRUST THAT PERSON. NO ONE ASKING YOU OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT IS ACTUALLY WHO YOU THINK IT IS.
Its more symbolic than anything. He has his own bank account and the dojang is still in operation i assume. Its a similar thing to how he keeps him from coming but theres a safety net to keep abuse from occuring
It's not purely symbolic. While you are partly right, especially since he's able to still have his account, his basic needs are still going to be controlled financially. Yes, he's absolutely not fully bound by it, since he has means to stop it (the contract can be terminated and he still has his own money), however he is psychologically bound to a dynamic he contractually agreed on, and ml will be checking what the money is spent on (even the freely spent money). Yes, it could absolutely be worse in the story, but i still felt the need to warn people just in case.
Listen man, as long as there are notarized legal contracts that protect the rights of all parties involved, it’s fine.
But legally binding contracts with proper terms are a must on both ends.
Because 1. Rules out scum who just want to use the sub’s money rather than take care of them and pamper them/ use it as a tool to help them make better financial decisions in the case of a financially irresponsible sub (u know that ones that blow hundreds of dollars on random shit and stay poor for life. That way u can treat them and buy them the things they like *in moderation* with ur own money and save theirs. Just teaches them better habits especially if ur trying to stay with them long term and eventually have joint financials. Nothing worse than a spouse who keeps wracking up their credit card debt needlessly and u keep having to pay it off for them to protect both of ur scores. Honestly the only time this is acceptable is when u know u want a long term legal binding relationship/ marriage with joint filing. Granted with enthusiastic consent ofc)
2. Protects the sub directly. That way they can ensure if shit hits the fan their dom won’t falsely accuse them of stealing the money or financial fraud etc (to make sure the dom won’t demand the sub to repay what they had been spending throughout the relationship when they breakup etc)
That being said none of this is my thing at allllll. I just don’t like absolutes. There are situations where it is acceptable and both partners enjoy it and that’s okay. The main thing is to just make sure you’re safe and have enforceable contracts that’ll hold up in court no matter how much you trust your partner. Naturally the partner who wants to exercise the financial control would be the one who has to cover all legal fees.
Why do manhwa artists have such a hard time creating pale and dark skin? One looks like a sheet of paper and the other like ash
People feeling relieved over Guwon claiming that he's gonna let teacher kill him if he wants to, as if that's not even more terrifying than actually doing something to defend himself There's obviously something else aside from his pure adoration for teacher AND he probably can't even die in the first place. He's not human. All Hell is gonna break loose lol (also he implied that he's gonna let him keep on attempting to kill him, not that he's just gonna stay still and get killed)
WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO SAID THE EXTRAS WON'T BE THE THIRD TIMELINE MUAHAHAHA YOU WERE WRONG Hell yeah, about time, i really want to see Kloff suffering more.
Me #－.－)
Damn they're supposed to adapt volume 4 (Aeroc's happy family) instead vol 5 (This bitch's regression story)
I mean, i'd rather see his other self get the torture he deserves. We'll probably get some happy family extras as well, but much later.
I'm here to warn some of you people, so you don't make the mistake of continuing this story. I checked the Korean comments of the novel readers. Read the rest at your own risk:
The emperor apparently "changes" and starts "pampering" him after finding him and apparently this is supposed to be "redemption". Dam accepts him, the emperor steps back from the throne and marries Dam.
Yes, you read this bullshit right.
Remember the first chapter in which he rapes Dam telling him he "loves" him? Apparently the rape is the very start of his "change". All the shit he literally did are just thrown to the side because he starts being "nice" and "protective" and magically Dam falls in love with him and forgets revenge. LMAO. Apparently it's redemption to still get to selfishly covet Dam and "kindness" to protect him from his political opponents, when he could achieve all that by leaving him THE FUCK ALONE. But as expected of a selfish sociopath who only cares for himself.
Disappointing story. I could give it zero stars if i could.
It's just the usual shitty toxic trope that encourages forgiveness towards abusers and giving in to their will because they apparently magically change. Nevermind that they killed your only family, raped you until you bled, beat you near to death and treated you as a subhuman. It's alright guys! Let's hold hands and all is forgiven!
Trash. Pure trash. Worthless even. Like, what is the point of making the rape realistic? The author might as well eroticise it like the bullshit ending they created.
I thought Dam would get revenge
He'll try i think twice, but give it up and forget it.
Here’s the thing, though, I never thought Dam would get revenge. From everything we’ve seen from him he just wants a peaceful quiet life helping people and know just to be left alone. So the best revenge would have been to just leave and live his life. Which it seems like from the comment above yours he did. Looks like eventually he comes back, sure, but at least the king gets to suffer in his depression and longing, which is all I really want to see.
thank you for the spoilers. Personally, I will only stick around to see him miserable when he thinks that Dam is dead and he will even try to take his life according to other spoilers. I will stop reading at that point and think of it as the official ending
What you just described is a form of revenge. I had a bit of hope that this would happen (since the rape was realistically represented), i didn't want anything grand. I just wanted Dam to not end up with this beast. Alas, i had way too many expectations. It was in the end, another cheap, overused plot. The fact that the king suffered for a bit but still ended up with what he wanted(Dam), is beyond disgusting to me.
You know what? This actually works.
Thank you for this wonderful spoiler so that my time won't be wasted
Aigooooo this is beyond sad
Anytime I see notifications of a chapter being updated I get the chills what fucked up shit is going to happen next
I don't even have word to say about this book but ouuuuuu
People are complaining about the poly even though it's clear from the very first chapters that this is how it's going to be Also, i don't get the complaints and annoyance about Shen being with the warden. They are a PRE established relationship, Jin Yi only just appeared. Obviously they need time to start getting attracted to each other? And it's quite obvious that the first to yield with Jin Yi is Shen, not the Warden. It wouldn't do the characters any favours considering their personalities and roles in the story, to just fuck from the very first chapters. If you want porn, no plot, there are plenty out there. I find it absurd to complain over the story having a plot with characters that won't fuck from the moment they meet. If you want one dimensional characters, plain bl plots are everywhere. The Warden is supposed to be a control freak, with hatred towards the prisoners and Shen a distrustful prisoner, under the wing of said control freak by doing sexual favors. How do you expect both of these characters to just jump Jin Yi from the first month he gets there? Especially since the warden detests Jin Yi's status as a prisoner and Shen is watched like sheep, while also being wary over the other prisoners around him? Not to mention that Jin Yi doesn't have any inclination to fuck, he just wants to get revenge. It's not even slowburn since these are the very first chapters, Jin Yi didn't even get close to his goal. Also, just because we start the story with Jin Yi, it doesn't mean that he's the only protagonist.
I swear some of you don't even know how poly works. A lot of you probably read scenarios where two or more people engage in sexual relations only with one, and just all live together and accept sharing one person. And then genuinely think that's how poly works(especially when they turn their nose at 'two' bottoms lol)
Shen is the cutest and i love how caring and protective(based on the extras) Jin Yi is towards him. People say it's going to be two bottoms and one top, however Shen and Jin are very possibly switches. One of the extras showed Shen topping Jin Yi as well.
Fr
It labeled as top x switch x bottom
Shen is the switch
Jin Yi is the bottom
And the commander is the top
Okay, makes sense, considering the extra.
The foreshadowing is pretty intense. This feels like it'll turn into a story of another rich, privileged bastard that will obsess over what "he can't have". He's currently behaving softly, however he's still taking advantage of her indecisiveness and the fact that she is literally traumatised and more vulnerable, which makes her susceptible to leaning on the very first person that offers her just a bit of kindness. He is taking advantage of someone in a vulnerable position, even if he claims that he doesn't want to hurt her. His desire and good will isn't selflessness towards a victim, he does what he does because he is attracted and hopes to gain something from it (also the title tells a story of its own).
Yes! I sort of think the intention behind this story is displaying the whole "same evil guy but hotter" theme that we always see in stories that actually try playing the ML off as better. He definitely didn't get rid of carrot top for FL, he was eliminating competition and playing white knight even if he's telling himself it was for her.
Not one doubt in my mind that even if she were any other objectively attractive woman in a vulnerable position, he'd have like her too.
Here we go again... I came here for the gooning material but i ended up filled with hatred, which in turn just made me feel disgusted at the sex scenes. I'll just wait for it to update, skip everything and go to a chapter that shows the bitch ass brother defeated or dead.
