"You have never been innocent"
I hope once she wakes up she spits on you. Delusional trash. There goes ANY sympathy i may have felt for him. He only feels sorry for his current state of misery, not Annette or he wouldn't even consider being with her after her suicide attempt. He doesn't feel regret AT ALL. He's still solely focused on his personal feelings.
This isn't josei.
you are right, the guy who uploads these stories on another site (the site who starts with B ) keeps on addinf the josei genre tag on these stories on purpose even though he says that he only uploads stories for straight men and this is obviously for a male demographic so i don't know why he labels it as josei and then because of him this also get's aggregated as (falsely) josei on other sites too :(
He probably thinks he'll somehow manipulate the taste of most women but joke's on him, most can recognize what's written for them and what's written for men lol People that say this isn't fetishized for the male gaze are ridiculous. In this webtoon there's not even a single m/f/m story and the women are purposely written to be petty and brainless with good looks while the men look bellow average like your usual hentai lol. Wish there was a way to report it.
It's just misery porn and in the end, they end up together.
Unbelievably clichè.
I don't think the characters have as much depth as many readers here seem to claim, which makes me wonder: What kind of webtoon have you guys been reading, if you consider this sort of story and its characters complex?
A story can affect a reader's emotional state without it being complex or well written. That's what misery porn does. But i guess this is only my opinion.
On the other hand, i really love the art, especially the way the eyes are drawn, so kudos to the artist.
This literally ruined the story. It was unnecessary. It could be a delicious slowburn in which they do it after they both get to feel an attraction towards each other but no, the author had to go for the realistic psychopath route
to say the ability to create anything that doesn't contain rape is completely lost is a pretty big exaggeration.
maybe if you looked beyond the most popular stories, you would see that not all current day manga AND manhwa are like that lol
i dont even think its gotten worse, its just that rapey ones have gotter super popular so they overshadow
It was meant as a hyperbole, I wasn't being literal.
Also, for the exact reason that they've gotten more popular, they've been also created a lot more. It's this popularity which makes it first choice for the Korean authors to chose to create a toxic story in order for it to sell. It wasn't as bad in the past and I'd know, for I've been an avid yaoi reader from a fairly young age. Yes, plenty of toxic manhwa existed in the past but the current raise in their popularity has certainly made rise on the market which has led to the creation of even more in the genre, to the point they completely overshadow those that are not toxic at all.
it was not clear at all that it was mean to be hyperbole statement
it genuinely seemed like you were serious lol
also im going to have to somewhat disagree.
yaoi in general has gotten more popular so there are more stories being made- therefore more toxic shit as well.
the rapey shit has always been in the forefront of yaoi, like i dont think anything really changed apart from the rise of yaoi itself.
and im someone who has observed the yaoi scene for a quite some time.
Hope the ml loses everything and dies painfully. This misogynistic, disgusting, abusive worthless creep deserves to have all his limps cut and then to get stepped on by horses like the unrecyclable trash he is. I find nothing attractive about him besides the face i imagine he'll have if he dies. The story is poorly written as well, everyone is unrealistically evil towards the fl, their anger is expressed for ridiculous reasons and all the women were purposely written to be stupid, almost the same way they are written in hentai for the male gaze. And it's funny, considering the ml is written in a way that reeks 'i desperately want him to appear cunning and smart' when he's in fact, just as stupid and one dimensional as the rest of the characters. What a waste of gorgeous art. This art could be used on other stories that actually have meaning but less impressive art.
Why did they turn him into a twink that looks underage He looked so much better before.His expressions were gentle and adorable and he gave this air of purity as a gentle giant. At least he maintained the goofy personality. The obsession of yaoi creators to make every single uke look extremely feminine and childlike is a bit icky in my opinion. Still, i love the story.
