Of course this story is going the fucking ableist route of “personality disorders make you abusive”. I lost any remaining goodwill I felt.
Uploader, people are allowed to write stories, but people are also allowed to criticize them - it’s not purely about a character being evil, but whether or not people feel that it is actually well written. I genuinely cannot imagine anything that would make the top redeemable in ANY capacity, and the fact that the author has thrown in that he has a personality disorder to explain his toxicness/abuse makes it look like extremely poor writing. Especially one that is so severely stigmatized IRL.
THIS! I usually agree that a story is a story and in a way I still do but I just don't see the ML being redeemable in any way. Whether its a mental disorder, physical or whatever, that doesn't change or excuse the fact that the ML is garbage. And abusing someone, ruthless alpha bs or not, is morally and generally wrong and that goes for all of these sorts of stories, not just this.
I'm still gonna continue to see where this goes but it's giving a very generic storyline and I'm pretty sure I've already read a couple of stories with exactly the same plot as this. So yeah there's probably going be nothing much to expect but for them to blame it on childhood trauma or mental issues.
Normally I’d continue on - I like to finish stories - but as someone whose partner has BPD I just can’t, it hurts me too much. (not saying you shouldn’t tho!)
It’s really annoying that the author established that Yoonho was raped as a child by a man and then just. Never did anything with that again.
I’m confused about the hickey in ch7? They haven’t seen each other much for weeks, so did seuyoon sleep w/ someone else or was there a mistranslation or something?
based on what i understand, they only avoided e/o for days. not really for weeks. and ig the hickey that jiha gave to seoyoon is not completely gone
“He’s never once used lube or lotion on me before” HUH???????? he was going in DRY EVERY TIME?????
mc’s poor ass… oh my god.
"You're still like a baby in my eyes... so it's hard to believe there's a baby growing inside of you." wtf man
ok ignoring the cliffhanger im SO HAPPY about the character arc that's happening rn. like taeju has been making so much progress but he has to accept that euihyun might not want him due to everything he's done before he can actually have any semblance of a normal, healthy relationship w/ euihyun. like he's gotta accept that euihyun is his own person who might want his own life. very happy, this is literally the exact character growth i was hoping for, i just hope that the cliffhanger stuff doesn't overshadow/prevent that.
I feel like this would’ve been better if it committed to either being PWP or a story but it kinda flopped between the two. Cheolho’s story was actually really interesting. I feel weird about cuntboy fetish being a trans man, esp since I can’t even use that hole, but it’s still kind of nice to see a man with a vagina represented.
Early on Seunghyuk mentions that he doesn't remember who he lost his virginity to, that "at the time [he] was a little..." and then trails off... I'm assuming the implication is that he lost his virginity shortly following his grandmother's death bcus he was so out of it/needing company but it's a shame that it never came back up again/got closure.
Damn I don’t think anything could redeem the top lmao, this is just gross and brutal…
It reminds me of a lot of those popular darker het romances you see ppl rave about where the ML is sooo abusive and awful but is still the end game with the FL.
Genuinely it didn’t feel like a romance developed in this story to me, it more-so felt like they just became friends at the end (if anything). Miyoshi doesn’t genuinely seem interested in Goto, romantically or sexually.
And that’s not to mention the creepy stalking and coercive behavior.
also i didn’t realize this was a spin-off/sequel? to another story. guess i’ll have to check that one out. i really like the art style, and jun’s character design.
cos it doesnt have yet any romance in it other than sara's personal feelings and which is why this is an on going story. romance isnt always rainbow and unicorn, yall here are so sensitive the stalking and aggressiveness here doesnt even that bad, he even totally stopped coming to him bc he knew he went overboard, maybe broaden your understanding to these things and yall might even enjoy them more than 'fluff' romance yall want.
lmao i just want thinks like stalking and rape to be taken seriously in media that depicts them. you are annoying.
