crystalvmin's manga / #Noncon(4)

Yep dropping this from the get go. If yeonwoo trying to commit suicide due to his love not being reciprocated wasn’t already enough of a red flag for you, well he masturbated and released on hwibum while he was asleep ON HIS FACE. The whole unlucky-lucky trope was fine and I wanted to read it, but I’m not staying for a story that I feel like would try to romanticize/normalize sexual assault and weaponize mental health against a partner.

Welp this was definitely a pwp/smut typa manhwa so it was natural for me to drop this. I get the appeal of manhwa like these for other people, but like most pwp, the scenes just get so boring and repetitive as you go. The story isn’t really a redeeming point either since it’s close to non-existent (at the part where I stopped, but according to other comments this seems to be the case). Other than this being a pwp, I have issues with the lack of consent, manipulation, and sexual assault happening here. It makes it look cute (looking at you inseo) and valid when it’s not. And like a lot of semes, they get toxic and violate boundaries by deciding jackshit for their partners even though it goes against what their partner actually wants. I gave it a 2 at most just because of the art, it was pretty cute and clean too. Anyway if you’re more into the sex than the plot, then this is for you, but if not, don’t bother.

I definitely have mixed feelings about this one. It’s not bad, I liked it more when we were getting to the flashback parts cos now we get to know more about the plot and how hyo-un and taehyuk’s fates tied together in the past. There are a few plot holes but it’s not that noticeable or you would question it for a second but then just move on. I think the only major problem I have is that there are a number of sex scenes that start out as dubcon/noncon, especially during the flashbacks. It is what it is but again just a warning for other people out there who do not like this. Another concern I have (but it really is up to the interpretation of the reader) is that taehyuk in the past has definitely built a father-son relationship with hyo-un which gives the moral dilemma of a romantic and sexual relationship even though technically hyo-un wasn’t a “child” child, just had the maturity of a child (even in present time). Let’s also add the brother’s obsession over taehyuk lol. Anyway, curious for the next updates and I am praying for taehyuk’s past, present, and future bussy cos hyo-un is too big

Very beautiful art but dropped due to noncon/dubcon
