The official definition of Yaoi (BL) is works that feature romantic and/or sexual relationships between men. So it is yaoi, I'm sorry. It's just evil yaoi, unfortunately.
But , if you read novel you can understand that there is no romance in this , this is just a story of a two twisted men, here because thoughts and expressions of MC are not clearly shown we are not understanding but it's author never made it a romantic thing, heck at one point , during gang-rape scene, MC thoughts were so... Idk how to put it but real and even ending was twisted...
Okay dear read again, I said boys love, not yaoi. I’ve read A LOT of messed up and fucked up yaoi that is NOT boys love.
Omg thank u for saying how the novel is like!! I knew it, it’s a messed up psychological dynamic rather than a romantic one. Gosh, the artist really need to add more depths to the characters instead of just making them super duper hot. Also If u read the novel would u rec?
Sorry, I haven't read. Even though I they did a good job making the characters vile beyond all repair. I think I could only get through one iteration. I'm weak. But others in the comments said they've read it. And some webtoon sites (translated/raw and unofficially/officially translated) offer both
try your luck here, you have to search novels in korean of course: https://booktoki468.com/novel/7576586?book=%EC%99%84%EA%B2%B0%EC%86%8C%EC%84%A4
No offense but if you're going to read the novel which is ALSO just as torture porn-ey and are still reading the manhwa despite knowing of its fetishistic nature you can't really pull the psychology card lol.
Yeah try it, the art made it seem like twisted romance , if you read novel you will understand it is twisted obsession. Btw you can read it in novelupdates, name is "Empathy"
No, tbh I just love messed up things, like these twisted stuff with like even fetishistic nature. I love the dynamic of toxicity. the thing is, I can’t see them as in love and idw it to be so focused on porn either, because that’s not the main thing I want, I want plot, characters. All these brutal stuff that seme does to uke just (unfortunately) add depths to the fucked up ness. Also, I explained why in the other comment above
people who enjoy this as a couple and for porn are sick in the head.
(Sorry I’m overwhelmed)
Plus people who treat this lightly. “Damn this is red flag but oh well lol” “sene is so fine” “ooo black flag” stfu like do u not see the whole plot of this? It’s fucking psychology for fuck’s sake, not fucking just porn or even boys love.
And the worst thing is that the fucking author themselves draw the focus on the fuck scenes and all.(I mean, typical anyways)
But oh my days I’m gonna fucking try reading the novel and see how it’s like.
