yeah i feel this. like at htis point i just made my peace with josei/TL manga and webtoons having a pushy and or cold male lead and a passive or too naive or w/e female lead. its like w/e not here for plot. but the verbal abuse...like...there's universe where verbal abuse, humiliation, manipulation and gaslighting is sexy. like maybe the first two are sexy in the bedroom or a bdsm type context but...in general? esp during such a vulnerable age as ur teen years? thats a hard pass. i got bulled in hs (verbally) by boys too and there wasnt a single sexy thing about it. i didnt get triggered from this story or anything i was just baffled at the entire scenario. like this coulda been a really interesting setup for some angst and a guy having to reflect on what a shit he was. i know one of the dudes who was mean to me in HS, in senior year actually apologized and felt bad. i was like ok good he prob grew up to be a decent enough man. and seeing smth like that happen here coulda been real interesting. but if u want dumb smut its fine but nothing makes me drier than a guy who fucks with your head instead of just your body. no ty
I stopped at chapter 3.I just just can't. What's this shit? He literally bullied her for 3 years and still treats her like shit and she forgave him just like that? Just because apparently he's socially awkward and can't communicate like a decent human being? Teasing the girl you like is one thing but literally downgrading her is a completely different story. That shit stays. But nope, here another author that decides to sweep all that under the rug and put another bimbo who doesn't have any self respect as the female lead and romanticize rape and manipulation.Why is this shit graded so high? The smut doesn't compensate for the shitty characters and storyline. I'm out of here
