lol, just some compassion would be nice. the thing about partners like the uke who are in higher/authoritative positions, they think they need to solve everything and get shit done in all aspects of life. in reality, uke is dealing with a lot of shame and embarrassment swirling around a bit of fear with his abusive father. what he’d appreciate is just listening to him and trying to prove that it’s a safe space to talk about those struggles, not trying to immediately solve a problem (that is NOT yours!!) and then telling mc he should’ve gotten rid of his dad ages ago, as if it’s that easy..poor baby.
ouuuuu i can taste the tropes already. mild guilt bc he’s the one keeping him awake and preventing him from sleeping at night since he can’t resist his fineass, jealousy bc he smiles bright at anybody who does him tiny favors, and not recognizing it’s jealousy and thinking he just wants an exclusive fuckbuddy and not a boyfriend….
i feel like we keep getting scenes with super dubious consent (or no consent at all) and just no follow up. it’s not truly engaged with, it’s just forgotten and not mentioned again.
idk it’s not the scene itself that’s a problem, but the aftermath. there’s no fallout or explanation as to what happened, and the characters just go back to their dynamic as if those scenes did not happen. am i to accept that the mc just had no follow-up thoughts on being held down and forced? whether he enjoyed it or whether he despised it? idk. i personally don’t scan quickly, i like to re-read chapters too before a new update.
this… like yeongwon was raped and brutally penetrated yet it was brushed off so easily?? he made amends with it the day after because it was done by someone he seeks romantic connection with which makes no fucking sense. with bl, sexual trauma is never explored or even acknowledged. it’s like authors only see sa as a plot device and not a topic deserving the room for depth, reflection, or healing lol
mc…wdym you liked how he touched and looked at you. you literally smacked him bc he was assaulting u and he proceeded to rape u bestie? do you need to go read chapter 23/24 with the rest of the class or what.
right, but even if the message is what he did like it…when? in the scene it did not read as if he was faking resistance or pretending to hate it, and even in this chapter he didn’t directly mention the sex scene or the violence, just super abstract shit like his ‘gaze’ and ‘touch’. like wtf just happened??
killian’s ditzy ass isn’t going anywhere, look at his fucking face. if you’re not adelide he’s not listening to shit you’ve gotta say LOL
