Killing stalking is not a yaoi
did we read the same thing?
The author koogi herself said it wasn't although it looks like one
Um what?!!!(￣∇￣")it's the first time l'm hearing this
Huh? But the genre-- oh well lf it's the author themself then--(￣∇￣")
I think the genre is Horror with Yaoi elements. Because the yaoi aspect is not the main focus, it's the lsyche of the two, especially of Sungwoo. It just so happens to have a Yaoi subgenre. But that is just my opinion
It’s a psychological horror, yes, it does include two men doing whatever the fuck but that doesn’t necessarily go in the yaoi genre like the author said
O-okayy ( T﹏T ) Thanks for explaining guyss...l didn't knew about the author's pov on this cuz l ain't following 'em on Twitter or whatever ....anyways thanku ..have a good day

Apparently not. You were probably too focused on the smut to pay attention to the story.
its bl on lezhin tho....and honestly, the author totally marketed as bl....its thriller/psychological and yaoi....two men doing its considered yaoi/smut so :) Like a manhwa can be more than one genre and its shouldnt be such a argument if it is yaoi....noone is saying it was romance,even tho some people might have hoped for a happy ending knowing it was impossible...totally normal
the author says its not bl after using that aspect of it to be this famous, cause let be honest.,..that was a big factor why killing stalking is this famous...
man ╥﹏╥.....why do u have to bring this up everytime KS is mentioned..why?
it doesnt change a thing of what a great manhwa is.
"It's a big factor" um.... no, because it was a gruesome story that shocked its readers. It must have been a big factor for those who read it just for the "yaoi" thing. Regarding it as yaoi, despite the authors clarification, is pretty disrespectful imho. Comparing it to other BLs is pretty nonsensical - since it isn't about actual romance between two men.
No one is saying it isn't a great manhwa lol. But if facts hurts your enjoyment of it, idk what to tell you. No one can stop you from thinking whatever you want about the work, disregarding authors actual clarification. It was the furthest thing from romance, but ok.
They literally said they were scared it was gonna be like KS ,but its not and u came with your facts that noone asked:But ItS NOt YaOi...like wtf,it gets annoying at some point.......Yaoi doesnt mean its a cute romance,it means its smut with two men,to not get in the discussion that is a old term that some people say it fetishisation for mlm and they are uncomfortable or so i heard....like people will attack u if u say yaoi insted of bl
Anyways some people tend to focuse on the emotional and psychological parts of the plot too,not just on the thriller and ignore the rest....
I respect the author ,but they totally sold it to readers as bl and later say its not...thats why everyone is confused now.My point is anyone is free to think what they want so your comment was so unnecessary,they didnt even say KS is yaoi....its like u people work for the author lmao
Did you even understand what genre"Yaoi and Romance" even means? Yaoi is 2 men in manga involved in sexual activity but romance in the other hands involved the romanticism of the couple.. that's mean KS also include part where sangwoo and bum have sex so automatically it's yaoi wether the author say otherwise..also the author promote it as bl manga with psychology and horror and yes they want to focus on the psychology but doesn't change the fact the yaoi involved in it..end of statement
Obviously not lmaoo, well I guess it was between two men, however there was no romance whatsoever so i don’t think it could be classed as a bl you know? The only LGBT characters were yoonbum and the guys at the gay bar ig
to be fair most of its readers were after its yaoi "elements".. if the author themself says its not then its not, but we still cant dismiss that it leaned heavily towards yaoi... even how the story was introduced was baiting it to be yaoi... just saying
Ah I didn’t realise the term yaoi is different to just romance lmaoo thanks for saying, tho as someone who is mlm, I do kinda find it stupid that people get attacked for calling it “yaoi” or attacking women for reading this sort of thing. It’s only fetishisation if someone who isn’t mlm is obsessed with gay men or gets off to mlm relationships I believe, tho I agree with what you said
the only reason i asked this was because i was not aware the author said it wasnt yaoi, and please if the author did not announce that it wasn't we'd all be assuming it was yaoi, it fits the criteria... lets not act all-knowing... and before i get attacked, ill say that i respect that the author doesnt want it labeled as yaoi.. periodt.
yes.agree on everything u said.
Sangwoo was just casually inside (￣∇￣") im joking btw...Sangwoo isnt gay cause the author says so ....she says a lot of things that make no sense, but ok ,cause he could have been bi ,at least my opinion
I feel like the “focus on the psychological aspect” is so funny to say after totally promoting as bl.....like the reader can focus on what they want...im sure everyone agree its a great psychological manhwa,noone treats its as pure bl smut or some sweet romance...
Some readers are just more emotional and tend to focus more on the emotional aspects that were also part of the plot.....im sure some were sad about the end :/
its so unfair that u just mention KS and several people pop and say its not yaoi...for no reason
As long as someone is plus 18 they can read it and focuse on whaterver part they want....
Facts dont hurt my enjoyment but at some point it gets fucking annoying....everyone knows the facts and what the author said.
At first l thought it's gonna be killing stalking but....NO MAN IT'S GETTING BETTER AND BETTER WITH EVERY PASSING CHAPTER
