and the fact that mc is a top agent? like really ? even i make better agent then him...(jk)
those dislikes u got HAVE to be from people who love slop. you're so right about everything, i tried reading this TWICE, and the second time i forced myself to read even more because others were saying that 'it gets better' and truthfully, this is ASS... pure, unfiltered shitwater
Aww :( ... Is it really that bad? but Red Candy built Hanse’s fandom, and the old fans are hyped for Bad Apple without trashing it
ngl it’s rare to find ppl who read critically in spaces like this. i think a lot of people must subconsciously see bl as an inferior genre because that’s the only thing that explains why they don’t critically consume what they read and defend badly written stories like there’s nothing wrong with having basic storytelling and writing expectations for the bl you read!!!!! im not saying its horrible like i did finish it and i LOVE the sequel, but if we’re critiquing it as a story with themes and character arcs, its just not a good one!!!
yes it is that bad lol i have nothing against the author, bad apple is fire so far.
same, though wow you must be right, this has to be one of the reasons so much garbage has been pushed to the front page of this website. either that or they have been used to consuming mediocre works, so much so that anything with a remotely 'complex' plotline is hyped to the hell and back... and i agree, bad apple is interesting, nothing to complain about so far
naw fr. im convinced there’s some sort of mass psychosis going around because there’s no way some of the shit on the front page is being read and consumed by such large amts of people. ‘complex’ plotline is funny, bc that’s so true, i’ve seen people sincerely philosophize and intellectualize jinx ☠ anyway im praying the author doesn’t drop the
ball on bad apple because so far im actually reaallllyyyyy
enjoying it but i have low expectations for her writing after wasting my precious time on red candy ngl.
Idk why but when I started reading your comment and you said about mass psychosis, first thing that came into my mind is Jinx, that shit is soo bad,even every sex scene is rape... I mean I never saw kim Dan enjoying it （￣へ￣）, but I don't know why the hell is it so famous while good stories never get good hype...
it’s total slop and yeah def rape, i mean kim dan is totally being coerced idk how fans try to justify it like u can read whatever u want but don’t pretend it’s moral or righteous it’s funny how the author tries to make it deep tho, i saw spoilers for the latest chapters on twitter and it’s hilarious
jinx is beyoooond bad, it's downright terrible, reminds me of the 'After' franchise, the shittiest story in existence yet with a huge following for some reason... oops, i forgot about painter of the night, so not exactly the shittiest, but has the most low-effort plotline i've ever seen. of course the protagonist is poor and lives on scraps, is manipulated by the male lead and raped and then all these rapists get a redemption arc and they're suddenly absolved of all their past mistakes bffr...
Author trying to justify Jeakung or whatever his name was is the most hilarious part actually like I never read whole thing first 3-4 chapters were enough to turn me off and then I saw recent chapters I was like WOW? Like he got a sad backstory but how the fuck can aan turn into a literal psycho? I mean there are people with sad stories take Kim Dan for example, did he turned like that?
this was an overall enjoyable read but the more i reflect on the plot im realizing….. why was the writing so bad the plot lowkey didn’t make any sense and every issue was solved by a convenient deus ex machina. characters aren’t well written either, their actions often make no sense based on what’s initially established TO THE READER several times and have such superficial reasoning/origin solely to drive conflict. idk if im being too critical but the manhwa insists on being taken seriously so i think my qualms are warranted. its just lazy writing. hopefully by the sequel the writer will have improved
