Pwahahaha! Loving this!
This is such a unique take on the coworkers trope. Everything from the cutie in drabs to the whole dissection of his childhood to now them turning into lovers.
I've read the countless rich semes falling for the ukes because the uke clearly doesn't care for their wealth as much, but all the angles taken here are so unique and beautiful!
Let's not kid ourselves. He's still not taking consent. Idk why everyone is taken by the blushing.
The uke literally is not given a choice.
Sometimes it feels so good they cry "wait stop no more!" But they don't actually want them to stop. They're just close to finishing and that spot they keep hitting is making them see stars.
I think the most recent sex scene was the only one that was somewhat consensual, the rest were rape and the recent chaps (past 40) are iffy for sure but when its all degeneracy you have to be grateful for crumbs.
"but when it's all degeneracy you have to be grateful for crumbs" truer words were never spoken.
So i hate reading about rape when it creates this Stockholm syndrome situation where the uke will start warming up after a while because they're basically ok with rape but I do feel, that it's not the same here.
The uke realises the situation he is in & calls it as it is. I esp loved the moment the main dude was like just say the word, say you want only me and the uke just says fuck you because at the end of it all, he knows he's only here cause he needs to save his brother & that main dude ain't no ally of his. Ultimately they're all monsters.
So yeah, I'm waiting to see where this takes us.
Or maybe if u get triggered just don’t read stories with rape lmao
??? I feel like something was miscommunicated here. I don't see how that "dont read rape then" reply matches the original "I like this story" comment
Tell me you didn't read my comment without telling me you didn't read my comment
Expect it to be 4x lovevy dovey moments but nooo. Is it too much to ask? I'm so over it but still want to find out if it's gonna get better
Yeah I just want our baby boy to find peace and happiness. That's the only thing keeping me going.
You know what I find ironic, everyone complains about how toxic yaoi in general is. So rapey! But stories about women getting raped have been told for centuries and there has been nowhere near this much outrage about it. But now that's it's men getting raped, holy shit the outrage!
I agree with you !!! I read the novel and by the end of it everything makes sense , at least to me anyway. For me this is the best guideverse yaoi I've read, I was so invested in it. I wish one day there would be an anime adaptation or something
I don't think I've ever seen people being ok with rape happening to females in shoujo/josei manga. Mangago hosts mainly a BL community so it may feel like comments surrounding yaoi are louder. I don't think people in a BL community complaining about toxic rape tropes in BL means that rape is more important when it happens between men etc. When you step outside of this actually small community people don't even know what BL is much less what the tropes are. Nowhere in the international MeToo movement was yaoi ever part of the discussion. I can assure you, if rape was a trope in shoujo and josei like it is in yaoi, there would be even more outraged people.
or maybe authors shouldnt be making rape scenes into smut because its disgusting and immoral
are u okay?? of course theres been outrage over the women. but in regular romance books i dont think its as common for their assault to be romanticized as much as in BL, at least from my perception.
It's defo going to be that the dude turns out to be omega & doesn't show up for the kiss
The alpha will take that as rejection and they'll pull away, later to comeback together
This is going to take a while
It's like that one story-
Struggle ? Omega complex?
Yeah! Omega complex had a similar premise.
6 months of being assaulted - LIKE WHAT
He won, but at what cost? Should've sent that first recording to the police and ran out of that apartment no?
And now it skips a few years?!!!!
Tbh, I'm having fun seeing kwon suffer; for a man that put another person down for being vulnerable, for paying his dues, for being in a f*cking coma for 5 years and for calling him like yoon says, a piece of trash that can be picked up or thrown, kwon has only now begun to acknowledge what a potty mouth he has and how cold he can be.
I honestly hope taejoo heals.
And I hope yoon chooses himself above everything and everyone.
I still ship kwon & yoon though. Taejoo needs to get himself a new man.
Love you because I couldn't say it any better, but I really hope that Taejoo stays single for some good time, to understand himself better, not just to jump in other relationship without solving anything with himself
Oh absolutely. I also think the eat pray Love journey is applicable to yoon also. Technically he's also jumped from 1 relationship to another.
Omggg yess I wish he at least get himself some time to clear his mind, my man was in a coma for 5 years and two weeks later he banging his new boss he didn't even had time to really process it
One of them will die. When. How. Idk.
How I see this is - seungho knows he's a bad guy and he's done nakyum wrong and has finally acknowledged his love for nakyum but nakyum on the other hand knows that he's here because he doesn't know affection beyond this, full blown Stockholm's
I believe the sister will pull him out of this & in doing so, there will be blood.
Not to mention the whole no name thing and the yoon fam history will also add to this drama. There's also inhun who is yet to return (but I feel he's served his purpose in the story for now)
I have a feeling seungho will die and in turn will say an ultimate sorry to nakyum and fuck you to his own fam.
ugh ill be sad...but i always worry for historical stories like these because....like ~how~ can they end up together realistically without like idk running away together and abandoning everything
it'll be weird if seungho will die and they'll be reincarnated in modern world then boom open ending
I think seungho is too damaged. Considering the times, there's no redemption via therapy or anything (realistically).
He's always going to want to own nakyum, possess him and ultimately their status difference will always ensure nakyum never wins. Nakyum will never have a level playing field in this relationship & so yeah I'm rooting for his sanity cause seungho is a lost cause in my eyes. He's too brutal (to others and himself as well)
Haha. That's one ending I actually would love. Them starting all over again.
yeah i agree. hes so fucked up i dont even like him as a character. it would be interesting to see how nakyum moves on..or maybe they separate and come back to each other?
Sorry but your so-called spoiler seem to be inconclusive to me （￣へ￣）
It's not really a spoiler. Just my assumption of how it'll go. Ultimately byeonduck decides.
Separation only makes sense if they both heal, nakyum is capable of it, idk about seungho. Would love if nakyum moves on and finds his strength.
totally
I wanted more honestly. I feel underwhelmed because they had all that drama, all that misunderstanding just for yoon to swoop in like always for some squirrel butt. And for all the distance wonwoo created - there no was no...intimacy. Their romance still feels shallow, like it's only for the sex. I wish there was more talking, more subtle body language to convey want and need for each other.
Meh meh meh meh
You peeps who say the rape shouldn't be showcased in BL Mangas at all - please remember rape is real and it happens as much as we don't want to admit it.
What BL Mangas suck at is HOW RAPE IS REPRESENTED
Most mangakas romanticise it - devoid of trauma, devoid of consequences - infact it's almost used as a plot device to start the romance which needs to change.
Here, you can almost feel how blackmailed the blondie feels - you're tensed, worried and scared for him and you're angry, upset at thie black haired asshole.
Show rape for what is it - a COMPLETE VIOLATION OF PERMISSION, PERSONAL SPACE
Story writing in yaoi can be so boring sometimes! I like this story! The concept! It's getting good
