but where's the reasoning ? i get that they're going to explore the plot more later but it's top fucking dumb to see a whole ass "god" team of people but seems to be nothing more than emotional humans with powers. like you can't for the life of me convince me that gods are that emotional and that irrational in decision making??? like come on man that's not "gods" that's just what humans do. how are they gods if they knew nothing of the goings in the world? with just one rumour, imprisoning one of their own without even so much as an interrogation? what's that??? and it's been 400 years? with nothing whatsoever going on? girl come on
Have...have you never learned about Greek mythology?
well let's not bring that firedumpster of A mythology here my guy, that's an OLD OLD story and while it is convoluted, it's entertaining, this story on the other hand is literally just a outright weak plot point just saying
but holy shit man if bro literally suddenly one day left and left nothing for you but debts as a hs student with no income. NO, you shouldn't have fucking accepted your father's sorry ass back. idc why my man. personally my ptsd makes me irrational sure, but come on now my guy your dad is just a sorry mfer all around. like no shit
Not everyone is going to deal with traumatic situations the same way though some people have a hard time completely cutting ties with their abusers and especially when said abuser is a close relative. It can be frustrating for onlookers but at the end of the day there is no such thing as the perfect or wrong response when it comes to trauma
+1
It's a pretty good answer and I agree with everything but the part about wrong response to trauma not existing, because there's a lot of wrong responses to trauma, as understandable as they are, like in Sohan's case. He's clinging to the remains of his family to the point of letting everything that his dad do pass, at least for now, he's letting himself be used and altho totally understandable it's wrong and not healthy.
EXACTLY like yea i understand having different responses but hell a self destructive(it can actively harm sohan bc yk the dad's an asshole) one like this??? ofc sohan's not the only one to blame, but damn it's frustrating
the way i interpreted the comment was, ppl process trauma in different ways and they're all valid even if some of them are not healthy. sohan's response isn't favorable but it's understandable like you said, and very realistic
Thank you that's exactly what I meant!
Oh ok then it's probably a misuse of the word
I personally don't think that unhealthy = wrong because "wrong" would imply that there is a right way to deal with trauma and there isn't. Trauma fucks people up and the way they respond to it isn't their fault, it doesn't mean that they do not need help to learn how to deal with it healthily but calling it wrong or saying that they're dumb for reacting one way or another kinda has the same vibe as victim blaming (not that it is exactly the same as victim blaming but yk).
yes but in therapy, the therapist do categorized responses to trauma and unhealthy responses is indeed dubbed as a wrong/bad response.(from my personal experience.) i am not trying to victim blame and i will not criticize trauma responses from real people irl either. BUT here my case stands with sohan, in fiction, there is such a thing called characterization. when a character is written, they will have personalities and behavior that complies with this characterization, i am not wrong for saying that in this story, this specific action of sohan is WAYY off from his character, which causes utter frustration with how he handles this situation
There actually are wrong ways to deal with it, that doesn't make it not understandable, nor unrealistic, but it's still wrong. It doesn't mean they deserve to be criticized for it, it just means they need help to learn to deal with it the right way.
*Unhealthy not wrong, otherwise that is litteraly what I just said but let's agree to disagree I suppose lmao have a nice day
I'm not going to go over the whole rightwrong thing again or this will never end lol but I don't think it's out of character for him to do that, he did take Sihwa in after he forcefully barged into his life and sexually assaulted him, and this isn't me saying that Sihwa is anything like his dirt bag of a dad but he does seem to give in easily when it comes to pushy people in general, he felt bad for Sihwa so he let him live with him and even tried to help him find his father and the same goes for his dad after he guilt tripped him into allowing him to stay for a while especially because Sohan's dad knows which buttons to push to manupilate him he's done that his whole life.
It is not (￣∇￣") you said and I quote "wrong would mean there's a right way to deal with trauma and there isn't" which isn't true, there's definitely wrong ways to deal with them, Sohan right here is one example, and there are far worst ways that some people use to deal with it, the world isn't black or white, just because we can recognize that it's wrong doesn't mean that it's their fault for coping like that. Dumb ≠ wrong
fuvk off yall idc what's the reasoning would be but WHY DOES NO ONE FUCKING RESPECT HER. she's cheating? SO WHAT BRUH HAVE YOU SEEN HER ENVIRONMENT. SHE'S FUCKING TRAPPED IN HER OWN HOUSE THAT SHE OWNS NOTHING OFF. it's not her fault too, mfing grandma was saying " oh she doesn't have formal education when her parents died so like i didn't discuss nothing with her and just brought in this guy who i thought would be great to handle the family business " GIRL WHAT THE FCUK. IF ANY ONE OF YOU HAD DISCUSSED THIS SHIT WITH HER, NONE OF THIS WOULD HAPPEN. AND YOU DIDN'T? FOR WHAT ? FOR PLOT? AND THIS BITCH OF A HUSBAND. IDFC IF HE ACTUALLY SECRETLY LOVES HER OR WHATEVER THE FUCK, WHY THE FUCK DOES HE BEHAVED LIKE THAT. HE COULD'VE ATLEAST FUCKING TRIED SMTH. COMMUNICATE. FROM THE START . WHY'D YOU WAIT UNTIL SHE FUCKING HATES YOU ??? YOU FKN DUMB PIECE OF SHIT. bruh who wouldn't go fucking insane living in a place like that, in name everything should've been yours, but you have no say in anything and it's all out of your control BRO OFC YOU WOULD DRAG SOMEONE IN TO STAND BY YOU??? WHO WOULDN'T? THEY DIDN'T MARRY OUT OF LOVE. WHY. SHOULD. SHE. CARE. and then imagine my surprise when i jumped a lil ahead and OHH SUDDENLY THEY'RE ALL IN LOVE??? FUCK OFF. FUCK THE RIGHT OFF. ALL THESE ISSUES FOR NOTHING BECAUSE YOU COULD'VE FUCKING SOLVED THIS SO MUCH EASIER FROM THE START. BUT NO BECAUSE OF PLOT. grandma should've fucking discuss with her from the start and she could've instantly try to go for formal education. then if she decides yea she should marry for business convenience or not, NONE OF THIS STUPID ASS BS NEEDS TO HAPPEN. THIS AIN'T ENEMIES TO LOVERS IF YOUR PLOT IS FULL OF FUCKING HOLES
i get the frustration lol but they do fill in most of the plot holes down the line
THEM AS A COUPLE IS BOMB ASF AND THEM FUCKING IS FIREEEEEEEE I AM BLESSED WITH THE GIFT OF SIGHT
now how do i explain myself to the lord when i die and they probe through my memory
if you've spent the great majority of your adult years chasing and seeing you crush have their amazing romance that doesn't involve you , it's a you problem ofc but it's also super discouraging, like it's really hard to see yourself as loveable if that's how it's always been, so ofc when someone shows clear interest in you , you'd feel lacking, you'd feel insecure, and you'll put up a wall to protect yourself from hurt, now that he's also needing to balance the heartbreak of that crush marrying, he'll be even more vulnerable.
my brain is so confused lmao bc I've read this levels of crazy shit before and HAHAHHAHA i went from hating to loving them tgt LIKE SEND HELP AHSHSHSHS haven't finished the side yet tho but holy shit that ending phenomenal full circle moment fr
Where can i read the entire thing?

this one's a Google drive ver with better formatting
just absolutely the most wild people like yes give me more beautiful yakuzas
but it is hard as hell to read with the MTL and the weird segments being quite disjointed. i agreed with the low ratings tbh, not every low rating is because of lack of smut y'all, a good's story have to be exceptionally well done to make up for formatting issues like the segmented chapters, and so far the story isn't that good lmao
this is a personal opinion lmao if you feel attacked well idc
