Then don’t read it?
I did exactly what you're telling me to do, I stopped reading it and gave my opinion,which is the entire point of a comment section.If critical opinions bother you, maybe you should scroll past instead of trying to police how people react to uncomfortable content. I didn't ask for your approval, and I'm not obligated to sugarcoat my discomfort just because you enjoyed it lmao
All I see is the mc jumping at him. Don't see where the seme groomed him.
I see you missed the part where i said that he was groomed to do sexual favours to survive. He literally "jumps" at ml because he believes he has to for his survival as he doesn't trust ml and ml knows that but despite it he wants to take advantage of him.
Oh and if you paid attention to the story, you'd understand i'm referring to the gang that had him trapped ever since he was much, much younger for the grooming.
I still don't get how it is the MLs fault. He didn't keep him to take sexual advantage. He just ended up giving into mcs seduction. 15 years age gap is actually pretty norm around the world. Well it might be a bit off putting thinking the mc didn't have room for proper mental development. But actually the mc seemed pretty matured despite lacking some common knowledge and having trauma. So yeah I don't think the ML is some perverted old creep taking advantage of the mc.
No he didn't seem pretty 'mature', did we even read the same thing? He behaves impulsively with no real experience over how the world works.
And no, a 15 year old age gap isn't normal(something happening in the world doesn't make it automatically normal, so that's not an argument), especially when one of them is a teenager that was groomed to behave a certain way by his abductors and never got the chance to experience the real world. Ml keeps him for a certain reason, to use him (and he made that clear). He IS a perverted old creep(in comparison to mc), he just happens to be handsome, which makes a lot of people ignore the gross dynamic going on.
Also, he just happened to give in to seduction? He is a 35 year old man, well informed over the fact that mc is an abused, groomed to give sexual gratification by adults as a child, victim. If you consider this okay, i have nothing to say as we seem to have completely different views on morality.
Nevertheless, you are free to believe whatever you want. I find their relationship gross and the behaviour of ml predatory, but purposely presented as romantic for obvious reasons. Not uncommon at all for yaoi.
Well everyone has different perspective so I guess all your points are alright. But 15 years age gap is supposed to be abnormal? XD. just cause you don't like something doesn't mean it's something wrong.
Yes, it is when one of them is a teenager. Incredibly abnormal.
And even with two adults, it's certainly not the standard. 15 years IS a huge age gap, however it's a whole different story when the younger person is 25+, which isn't the case with the dynamic in this story.
So yeah, i stand on my point: Creepy as fuck.
20 years old are young adult. Not teenager. Not sure about your age. As someone in my early 20s, I'm surrounded by both same aged couple and couples with 10-15 yrs age gap. Both are norm. The later group from my observation leads a happier life.
You keep ignoring the context I've already explained. In international age, the MC is 18–19, not 20, and he behaves like a traumatized teen (because he is one) with no real-world experience. That makes the dynamic predatory no matter how you spin it.
Also, pointing out that you've seen couples with 10–15 year gaps isn't an argument, it's anecdotal. The fact that something happens doesn't make it healthy or standard. Statistically, the happiest and most stable couples are those in the same stage of life, not with one partner barely out of adolescence and the other in their mid 30s.
So again: this isn't just about a number difference, it's about power, maturity, and consent. And in this context, all of that is compromised.

Here's a link for you of a study
Oh and since we're being anecdotal, let me also share my anecdotal observations: I have witnessed two age gap couples(one of 8 and one of 12 years age gap) close enough to know what is going on behind closed doors, and both of them have been deeply unhappy, dealing with jealousy and generational differences issues. One of them is currently separated, although not yet divorced. Do i claim to know what is going on with every age gap or similar age couples like you do? No. However it doesn't take much thought to consider that people in a similar age group would get along much better, especially long term. Big age gap couples are the minority and not the standard no matter how that makes you feel. And i won't even argue again regarding the predatory aspect of them consisting of a freaking teenager and even worse a teenager that has barely experienced any of the world and being around his peers and a seasoned adult in his thirties.
The age gap is already incredibly creepy, it's basically 15 years... Also 20 years old in korean age is 18-19 in international and it doesn't help that he was basically locked up his whole life and has an even younger mentality than nis age...He's just a traumatised teen that needs therapy, not a 35 year old man taking advantage him and the fact that he was groomed to believe that he needs to do sexual favours to survive.Ml is nothing but an old creep despite the author trying to make him appear as caring. Mc looks, behaves and basically is an unsocialised teen. It was getting so uncomfortable i dropped it.Too bad the art is wasted on this crap. The general plot is bellow average as well.
