Might I add that I think the only shitty thing Chanwoo has done was been a bit insensitive of MD's feelings, even though it was unintentional.
preach
I agree with everything you've said
agree completely.
though honestly after seeing this side story and knowing her first main story, I think she just sucks at telling a good story. she basically repeated the same arc from Alex and dg. seme is an asshole, does something seemingly unforgivable, but is quickly forgiven. her art is gorgeous though - wow that lineart :9
Yeah, Jiwon/Alex was an asshole who used the uke's admiration to his advantage. He treated him like shit, and then got abandoned, realises his feelings for him, and begs for forgiveness. It was so cliche, and I feel like this manga really could've been amazing, but it became so messy and there was very little character development.
Yeah, the 'happy ending' was rushed so much, that I don't feel like it was a happy ending. Everyone was forgiven so easily, all was forgotten, had some sex, talked a bit, became a couple. This story had a lot of potential.
This isn't hate to the author, but just my opinion on this matter. However, I don't condone normalised rape (In the main story) abuse, manipulation.
First of all, to the people who haven't read the newest chapter on Lezhin, let's clear some things up. MD states the reason he decided to make Chanwoo go through with making out with that sub, doing things he isn't comfortable with was solely to see his reactions. That's what a shitty person would do. The reason Chanwoo rejected MD was out of fear. Chanwoo's relationships always ended badly, if they went out, he was scared they would end badly and lose ties.
Chanwoo basically confessed he does have feelings for MD. MD confessed he fucked with Chanwoo's head for the sole purpose of seeing the reactions he would get out of him. Let me remind you that Chanwoo had just been abused by former boy friends, used by the sub he thought he had a chance with. He is going to be in a state of distress, and hadn't even recovered from the trauma. Then MD pressured and manipulated Chanwoo to go through something he wasn't comfortable with. I see you Chanwoo haters 'Oh but he should've left if he wasn't comfortable, MD asked twice,' Yes, MD did tell him twice he could leave, but what were the consequences? That he would have to leave MD too, and be replaced. Chanwoo didn't want that, so his choice was to stay. MD is just as fucked up as his other exes, fucking Chanwoo up mentally can be just as bad as fucking someone up physically.
Chanwoo is a victim, MD is a manipulator. Don't tell me that Chanwoo is a slut, or was being insensitive. Chanwoo can do whatever he wants with his body. His body, his choice. He wasn't being insensitive by introducing the person he wanted to date to MD, because all he intended to do was ask for permission, it's not like he could do anything else. He also gives in easily to people he finds attractive, so he said yes to the sub's idea.
