I thought I was the only one who noticed it even tho it's super obvious lmao. Like... I feel like everyone see him as super hot and perfect... but... no ? I mean yeah he's really hot but not perfect ! He's a really a possessive creep and it's a bit of a turn off to be honest... But I have hopes for his character development so... yeah ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
some times its done well but most of the time they just look like weirdos to me like how can someone get turned on like that (usually in the middle of a climax or sticky situation)
it's not like the uke like's the feeling of inferiority and being watched at least its never stayed out loud
i am talking about in general of this yaoi trope btw
I KNOW RIGHT !! I totally get your point of view, you're totally right. And I like character development if it's done well, I'm not talking about this yaoi, but many have really poor character development, like, the Seme abuses the Uke, then he says 'sorry actually I love u" and then they live happily ever after ? xD
they don't even try sometimes it's just on a whim or out of nowhere they "REALISED" what there doing is wrong it usually feels forced and just out of nowhere (ussally the frist break up scene or when the uke get hurt badly but its just straightthe seme fault) ||ヽ(* ̄▽ ̄*)ノミ|Ю i kinda like the fact that we're having a conversation about one specific trop lol
OMG IKR!!!! People are happy because they finally have their happy ending, they're willing to forget all the abuse as long as they end up together in the end, not giving a damn if the relationship is toxic or not. Personally this type of trope makes me bitter. And, dare I say it... But it kinda feels like poor writing skills... If you portray the biggest asshole in the world and the only "character development" is him saying "I love you" as if having feelings could actually excuses the abuses and make me forget about a whole character's personality... I mean.... Sorry but not sorry : it is poor writing skills.. (this trope is so normalized in almost every yaoi but I feel like we're talking about one in particular lmao)
i think i used ikr too much but I KNOW FUCKIG RIGHT !!!! i mean if you're gonna spend all this time to portray him as an asshole then might as well finish as an asshole instead of what usually goes like this: uke gets hurt, BOOM tragic back story the "sorry, i love you" bim bada boom FORGIVEN
sometimes i enjoy the story like in "legs that won't walk" it has that trope but its more in shadows and its more like a slow burn rather than an impulsive realization
ya know this is why i don't like blood link it was early on but the trop is too prominent
all the depends on the execution ¯_(ツ)_/¯
DAMN EXACTLY! For example in Painter of the night, I really don't want to see the seme having a supposedly "character development" which would be just him saying "I love you actually". Just keep being an asshole instead of giving me a crappy "romance" based on abuses.
I don't know about legs that won't work, even if it's a slow burn it's still the same trope so... Not convinced haha! I don't really like when the love is "forced" (we can kinda see it in "Dear Benjamin" actually, but I still appreciate this yaoi) I didn't read blood link and thanks to you, I won't
yea just dont read blood link you're gonna frown for a whole week its so irritating especially the interaction between seme and uke and the repetitiveness of everything i dropped painter of the night because i found it to be too repetitive with the interaction and now that season 2 is out still the same thing its getting boring hope they actually have progress i still like legs that won't walk the seme is still redeemable in my eyes at least compared to other seme in this story "uhm uhm" i am looking at you insecret and caste heaven
welp i don't know how but it got from a classic yaoi trope to abusive and manipulative
I'd love to stop reading POTN but I'm too curious, I want to see how it'll end (even if I know that I'll ended up frustrated and annoyed as always haha).
DAMN, CASTE HEAVEN ihiyjfiyfgyi my biggest nightmare. I started to read yaoi in english thanks to this yaoi because I really liked it at first, I like the universe haha (so basically it's thanks to this yaoi that I have this level in english lol because I learned english with scans haha) but the story is the worse omg. The seme is so damn detestable and I feel like it's going to end up in a sort of love story ????? too much bullshit for me, I can't. Even my curiosity couldn't make me continue this yaoi :') I'm still grateful but damn I hate this yaoi so much (/TДT)/
curiosity is such a powerful weapon i have a love-hate relationship with caste heaven but i still want asuza to get a happy ending that why i am still reding at leats till updates in November I hope the both open their eyes i still want asuza to get some help and i hope he gets out of this toxic relationship and talks with his mother a lil
i was gonna copy past my analysis on caste heaven but i dont think you wanna hear it
I also want him to have an happy ending but I remember watching the latest chapters and I remember seeing some blush between Asuza and the other asshole so I guess they'll end up together... I want him to have a happy ending but not with his abuser...
To tell you the truth......I have totally read your long analysis haha ! (I feel like a psycho but I was just curious and I like to talk with you so... please don't be scared :')) It was really interesting, you're right about the fact that his character is the most realistic one, also even if the sadistic rapist feel guilty eventually (I hope he will) I would still be super annoyed if they end up together.
omg, i am so happy you read my analysis :D don't worry i don't really care ^^ tw yea same i would hope they take at least a break and there a time skip of them as adults where karino feel guilty but asuza be like "bitch, no" "..." "not after all that shit" at least that's my canon ending if they end up together i really hope the author wont do the classic ending it would be better if they just part ways like normal high school relationship ... nvm what i said THERE ANYTHING BUT NORMAL THESE TWO
i hope he takes care of his mother and get a normal job that the happy ending i want at least ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

He's hot but a bit too much of a control freak
