Their relationship just makes me depressed. It's so far from love. When Yeonwoo says that he loves Keith it just makes me feel like he's holding on to a fake type of love. One where he has given up on trying to find someone better for him because he knows that he can't escape Keith. He has his child, the world hunts him down if he runs away, and people's jobs are at stake if he doesn't stay with Keith. For Yeonwoo staying with Keith means an easier life for everyone around him including him. Even if that means that he has to deal with the SA that he went through and never getting an apology from Keith. Yeonwoo doesn't romantically love him, he loves him in the fact that it's the easiest and safest option for him and his child. (I do realize that the author is going for the romantic type of love, but base on previous chapters and how their relationship has been built that's probably the love that Yeonwoo would actually feel). It's not love, it's abuse.
oh cmon, that's no true. yeonwoo loved keith since the very beginning and keith fell in love with him after.(๑•ㅂ•)و✧ ╮(￣▽￣)╭
i feel like you’re taking this way outta context ngl.
if that's true, Keith hasn't acted like it. When Keith raped Yeonwoo he never apologized for doing so, and when Yeonwoo ran away, Keith placed a bounty on him. Putting his life in danger because of it. Yeonwoo left because he wasn't comfortable around Keith. He didn't trust him anymore. When Keith should have respected his space and realized that he had messed up and hurt Yeonwoo, he did the opposite. Yeonwoo may have loved him in the beginning, I'm sure he did, but I'm saying that after the way Keith has treated him it's not a healthy type of love anymore. It's similar to how abuser treats their loved ones. They will harm them, but give them words of affirmation to make them feel guilty for wanting to leave the said abuser.
How so? I'm taking what has been shown in the chapters and looking at both the actions and the words that they say to each other.
i feel like Keith just rly loves him
In a lot of ways, Yeonwoo is being manipulated into the false idea that Keith is a good person. This chapter showed it the most with Emma explaining that Keith was a mess with Yeonwoo gone and that a lot of the days wouldn't come to work or would show up drunk. It's a way to make Yeonwoo feel guilty for leaving as he will connect it to Keith missing him and the company, therefore, falling apart because of it. What's even more frustrating is that people are defending Keith in the comments saying that he was in his rut and that he did mean to rape Yeonwoo. It doesn't matter if he was in a rut or not, it doesn't change the fact that he raped Yeonwoo, never apologized about it, kept him captive in his house, and set a bounty on his head when he tried to run away. It's a toxic relationship with Keith being a self-centered rapist and Yeonwoo a victim that believes he needs to stay with Keith, one, he "loves" him, and two, because without him staying with Keith his lives and the lives of others fall apart. Something which was seen in this chapter. It's the definition of abusive and concerning that people don't recognize it.
THIS!!!! i really hope the plot of this manhwa will diverge from other omegaverse yaoi, but rn it really doesnt feel like it will- i feel like yeonwoo is just gonna be in the same loop of being angry at keith (rightfully so), keith taking him back, and then him loving and feeling guilty for keith. and then back in the loop again. god all i want is a revenge story with consequences to your actions
I know. I'm continuing to read it because I think it could be a great story if Yeonwoo does realize the abusiveness of the relationship and works on himself to get out of it and try to raise a kid, but I don't think that will happen.
well said, I agree! yeonwoo is the victim here - he did things wrong but was literally cornered to. and now he’s being guilt tripped for his actions, and keith’s too. the way he said “I’m sorry, you did nothing wrong.” was just the last sign of me giving up on yeonwoo haha TT
I think most of you don't know what character development is. Keith is in no way developing as a character, why? because he hasn't learned anything. Yes, he may have "gotten better" but that doesn't change the fact that he never apologized for raping Yeonwoo and he doesn't think that he did anything wrong. Character development doesn't necessarily mean that the character has gone from the bad person to the good. It means that they realized their mistakes and took action in themselves to change to become better, which is something that Keith hasn't done. I doubt Keith will ever get character development seeing as the story is kind of all over the place with no real ground to go off of.
I see people in the comments justifying his actions for it being the pheromones and that it was fated pair but to me, it screams grooming and pedophilia. If you try and use the "fated pair" as an excuse, it's the same as a predator saying that they couldn't help themselves and it wasn't their fault. It's using his situation as an excuse and to me, it is in no way acceptable. Don't forget that he masturbated to a child and french kiss a child, that is and will always be pedophilia no matter what scenario you put it in. Not to mention the fact that this kid was groomed to love this guy because he was raised on the idea that this was his fated pair. I understand that there are some uncontrollable things in the omgeaverse, however, it still has hints of pedophilia in it and uses the omgeaverse as a way to romanticize it.
But they were literally destined for each other. The sexual attraction part was overboard, but it isn't grooming. Because the whole point is that no matter what, they would both be instinctually in love with each other. Even if they never met when he was young
LMAOO you are literally proving Hook's point. This is why the alpha/omega stories are is garbage. Take away the pheromone's bullshit and what do you have? A sicko that got a hard on and french kissed a child. Oh--but no!! He's a sweetie for waiting till he was of age to fuck him! Definitely haven't seen that plot in a shit ton of other problematic mangas ///s
You completely ignored the point of my message you fucking moron. So embarrassing
Also "hook" wtf is wrong with you LMFAO
You're the tards reading this shit anyway????? How hypocritically disgusting can you be
oh my goodness, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause discourse with my comment. When I had read the manga I just found the story to be a bit problematic with how predators are in real life. I found it similar and then saw a ton of people saying how it was cute and adorable and it concerned me that not a lot of people were drawing connections to the bad parts of the story. Also, I read bl manga not for the bl part but for the story and plot. I'm fine with the omegaverse, so please do not put words in my mouth when you try and call me a hypocrite.
You're absolutely right! It's my fault for having faith in yaoi authors, and expecting a non-degenerate Alpha/Omega story in the first place. Thanks for showing me up and proving to me you not justifying the pedophile by calling me a tard <3 You're so well versed, definitely not someone who would regurgitate OP's original comment with no real rebuttal. I see now that despite you thinking french kissing and masturbating over a child is wrong, it's the fact that they're destined for each other is important!! Sorry for misunderstanding!! You're right, I'm so embarrassed >///<
They're not talking about you sweetie, you did nothing wrong. I offended them by referring to your username as Hook for some reason ^^
Okay, but they have a point. 'It's not grooming' but take away the alpha/omega/destined lovers tropes and it very much *is* grooming, thus justifying the pedophilia? How is anyone misunderstanding your comment, exactly? Maybe explain your stance better instead of needlessly attacking others and using r-slurs :/
You're right. The way they just snapped over someone having a different opinion was pretty yikes anyway. I won't waste my time :)
you just did the exact same thing..... I was only correcting a part of what they said. There is no grooming in this manga. That's it. Grow the fuck up. I can't believe y'all jump to being the victims as soon as someone disagrees with you. Absolutely pathetic.
The reading comprehension skills you have is so tragic. Please leave these decent people alone and go back to your cave. No one is victimizing themselves but you. No one is attacking you. All you have done in this thread is cuss people out for pointing out the holes in your ""argument"". You clearly can't defend what you have to say (no, really, this explanation doesn't cut it either. you haven't clarified anything in response to Kaito.Hat's comment. you are just validating what they and everyone else has already said, *that's* what's really pathetic) Stop seeing people pointing out flaws in your argument as bullying and grow up.
Anyway, I feel bad for OP, I'm done with this thread/muting this. Respond if u want, but I won't read it lol. We all know at this point your words have no substance. Have a nice life :p
Yall are pathetic. The only reason I've responded is because you don't shut the fuck up. You'll probably start whining again anyway. Do everyone a favor and keep it to yourself
"leave these decent people alone" what are you? A fucking super hero? Really? Holy shit this is sad
iconic. bye king.
Why are people attacking Mr.Yoon? Like it's not his fault if he tries to make advancements on Haebom as he has no idea that Taesung and Haebom are together.
The chapter was really well done. Thank you uploaders who gave this gorgeous piece of work to us please continue.
I'm excited for this comic. The art looks really smooth and beautiful. I hope the uploads continue to look as good as this one.
I just noticed that appearance wise Taker and Dojin are the complete opposites. Don't know if it was intentional but I like it.
I love the artwork right before the title card It portrays the duke and the prince walking in the same direction but separated by a building. It shows the relationship between the two wonderfully. You have the duke who walks alone on the left, which symbolizes how isolated and detached he is from the royal family. He isn't actually welcomed there, and it's why he walks alone. On the other hand, you have the prince, to the right, who is being guarded by many people, illustrating his importance in the royal family. However, what I loved most about the scene was the fact that the two "brothers" were walking in the same direction, yet are separated from each other. They don't walk together as friends or "brothers". I know that they don't interact with each other so they wouldn't walk with each other, but the imagery solidifies how broken their relationship is. Two "brothers" that, based on past events, no longer see eye to eye. It's subtle, but when you notice it, it makes you realize how good of a story this is.
