exactly i still find it hard to believe that i didn’t find anything wrong with things like this back then and now i can hardly read mangas that have tropes that portray toxic and immoral behaviour. it’s even worse now because people actually start defending some of these characters and mangas like their life depends on it and it baffles me (especially on tiktok some of the stuff i see i’m just )
thank you for ur suggestions! i’ve already read those two and while i agree that both the ukes were very firm in their beliefs i’d say it was still somewhat lacking since alex treated DJ like shit before the change in their dynamic and it hurt dj a lot and personally if it were me i don’t think i’d be able to look past alex’s old behaviour and just get together with him because he’s supposedly “changed” idk maybe it’s because i’m stubborn and don’t forgive easily lmao. and the omega one was pretty good too i really liked their dynamic in that one, they communicated well with each other and weren’t always crazy with hormones ya know.
Oh god for real. People get so defensive over it too, but my problem is less that the behavior is included and more that it’s romanticized and normalized. If you must have something like that make sure that it isn’t portrayed as how stuff should be. But wow, there’s so many I straight up refuse to read because they get borderline abusive and it’s portrayed as romantic
Yeah it took a longgggggg time for DG to drop Alex, and while he did take him back in the end I was thankful that he stood his ground. I liked how it showed how he was able to live a fulfilling life even after ending it with Jiwon, but damn there were many times I had to take breaks because it frustrated me how he was treated
I think my being easily irritated is coming out haha I could never deal with Eddie. I’m not coming for this manga but tbh irl if I met someone who was a jerk on the outside but internally different I would just drop em. I don’t have the patience for that lol
