No

LOL there is no one who is going to read this whole essay you wrote.

They clearly look happy and not in a toxic relationship so????

Also....Asians are poc btw

I mean, it is only a point of view ╮(￣▽￣)╭. Many people are critical while reading and like to just vent in the comments and that's okay, I think. There are clear cultural differences so it does seem a little off in some aspects. But then again, it is fiction, just think of it however you like(〜￣△￣)〜

I totally get what you mean, I feel like the author kinda read an article on a tribe and wanted to incorporate it into a story without doing follow-up research. Unfortunately A LOT of Yaois show off toxic relationships as normal as well....

"They look clearly happy". So do a lot statutory rape victims. Doesn't mean there isn't a power structure, manipulation, etc. Involved.

I read through it all just fine. If you were gonna reply, the least you could do was read their full point. Luca's country is against gay rights. It's dumb and dangerous to bring Makoto there AS HIS GAY LOVER. They could be killed OR WORSE. That's what this person's point was. As well as that mako is mono and Luca is poly, and this was never talked about or dealt with even though it's a major issue.

The author clearly just wanted a mixed race smut-mag but sprinkled in some "wholesome" vibes to make it digestible for their target younger female audience. Unfortunately, many of these "wholesome" relationships are very toxic, possessive, controlling, and even downright abusive. It basically just reinforces the idea "they hurt you because they love you" which is often dangerous advice to give to an audience that's already super susceptible to domestic abuse.

Yes
But I don't really care about those stories, even I devour those stories without even a care, because those stories are downright toxic and people could tell in a blink of an eye that that relationship isn't healthy but this was even labeled romance and disguised as a wholesome fluffy story
The thing that ticked me off the most is the people who could even label this as a really healthy, wholesome and a sought-for relationship not even realizing the hidden toxicness of it
I was hoping to add a different perspective, hence the length of the shit I wrote, in contrast to how most people read it, realizing that not everything is as perfect as they seem but clearly it all just falls on deaf ear
They are clearly so disillusioned I like wrote a whole ass essay proving points about how toxic their relationship was and the fact that I would still hear the 'they are clearly happy and NOT IN A TOXIC RELATIONSHIP' like UNDER IT is ughhhhh

Noooooo I'm most totally aware that this is fiction but not everyone can distinguish that y'know
I've know tons of people referencing their favorite romance book on their relationship, gradually destroying it on the way
And the fact that this is labeled and disguised as a fluffy wholesome romance is the real problem compared to mangas with blatant toxic dynamics

But those toxic relationships isn't as wholesome as this and people in the comments would have point all that out already but I can't even see ONE comment like this and the fact that most users of this site are teenagers terrifies me

Yes yes thank you I couldnt emphasize all that enough
Bringing his gay lover on that country I could bet you 10 bucks MANY people would even call that oh so dreamy wholesome and very sweet

And the poly mono situation is aghhhh I can't help what their relationship would even look like in the long run talking from a IRL perspective
It's truly destructive imagine ur lover falling in love with other people while pinning u down on the bed, it doesn't diminish the fact that they also love you, but MOST if not all mono people aren't even open such dynamics thinking that its cheating imagine how destructive to that to both themselves

That is totally true, and I personally like reading long comments analyzing stories.

Very true. I would have disagreed saying it's fiction if it wasn't for the somewhat realistic(close to reality) kinda plot. Like somewhere or more like in many places the story lacks depth.
