maybe it's me but I'm tired of these grown ass men throwing a tantrum over nothing
yes I know he is toxic bla bla bla but maybe write a better conflict? something that's actually creepy
I think BL fans (and authors too) have a problem with accept stories like this because we (yes I include myself) are used to: no matter how twisted and disgusting a story can be, it will turn "romantic" and the top will have its redemption arc and not all of them have to be like that. For me, at least. Some will just be twisted, cruel, hard to read and that's OK.
Fiction can be about anything and I think there are no limits for fiction but there are for you, as a human and as a consumer.
Learn to choose what appeals to you and what doesn't and to consume it critically and then also judge it as a product.
This manhwa won't left me anything of value and that's fine...
I don't understand how updates worka here because another page its at least 5 chapters ahead and then the hiatus
I don't get it
The hiatus mentioned here is just the English tl. I believe it's because they don't have enough people translating everything so they keep having to put series on Hiatus.
but the chapters I mentioned in my comment are translated...
The official translation only goes to 93. The raws are only at like 96/97 right now, but whatever you saw wasn't the official English translation.
I think this manhwa (maybe unintentionally) showcase how a victim will endlessly go back to the abuse, maybe he doesn't want to escape and yet he does but he doesn't do anything to escape.
Haewon clearly loves Haeyoung even if Haeyoung it's a rapist piece of shit and he knows it, he loves him, period and since the only thing Haeyoung ever show him was attention through abuse, he accepts it even when he knows it's wrong and that's a common thing for victims to find "comfort" in the abuse when it's the only thing they ever known.
Haewon won't ever escape this.
And btw I'm not blaming him, the only culprit here is Haeyoung and whoever abuse the poor Haewon, it's just that I see people blame him and Haewon it's still a victim and while it is irritating and someone who never went through abuse would never understand it, it's very well represented.
Well as much as I do think Haewon is dumb for falling for Seo Hayoung again and again. The manga is doing a good job showing how abusive relationships work, you would believe everything your abuser said also we need to remember Seo Hayoung helped Haewon -financially- that, alone, gives the abuser so much power over their victim.
Haewon knows he is dumb, he knows he should leave, he should get away but at the same time, Seo Hayoung its the only he loves, the one who helped him, he doesn't see him as an abuser when he wants to be with him, he just wants to be with him and dissociates from reality.
Haewon doesn't want to leave him EVEN if wants to leave him because he doesn't know a life without Seo Hayoung and even thinking about it, for a victim, a life without the abuse its scary because it means to face a reality that sometimes may be worse than the abuse itself.
By the way, please take all of this with a grain of salt, I'm not a professional nor a victim so I'm talking from my knowledge and experiences and sorry if I sounded disrespectful in any way, that's not my intention, its just an analysis of a fictional character ╥﹏╥
Its definitely not on hiatus....I know we have up until chapter 25 but even on the official app its up to chap 18, we are being robed(￣へ￣）
Can someone tell me what happened to sawato and daiki? ie the mangaka pretending they never existed?
This was never the best thing I've ever read, no, but it was ok, it was interesting enough for me to keep reading and enjoying it and read the novel but when they revealed he was never a substitute....oh my God
Why? I mean I read Sissy, I read Black Lotus, ML were complete asshole AND they still ended up together so why do that...plot twist? I don't even know how to call it because it doesn't even feel like a plot twist.
It just bad writing and the author trying to gaslight the readers as if we haven't read the story, trying to make it look like the readers, misunderstood the ML, when you purposely write him to he like that.
And in story doesn't make sense either because its trying to make it seem like its the MC's fault when he had every right to feel mistreated and bretrayed and of course, to leave the ML, now it seems he leave him for nothing. Was MC supposed to read his mind or what?
The only positive aspect is that the MC has some development and he does not bend easily, he work hard for not only his mental health but his carreer and he deserves his fame and success. Fuck the other guy
It also completely ignored how ML let his friends torment MC and even scold MC in front of them, like it just completely glossed over that.
Preciselly. I've read the novel and it still made me angry
You are right omg that was so bad, they were like cartoon villains and even hqd the audacity to be sad when he supposedly die.
i couldn't care less about jaekyung's redemption arc or whatever
i just want dan to be happy, come on, grandma is right he'll end up kicking the bucket first at this point, he won't, i know but it's common to people with sick family members to end up sick themselves and dan it's obviously sick, most mentally than anything
what i can't believe is that jaekyung won't pull his head out of his as$ and realized he is part of it too
sure dan had a pretty rough life but he is the same guy who: insulted him, abused him, mistreated him, belittle him, hurt him ON PURPOSE many times i mean it's more that just used him for s3x, it's destroying the mental state of someone who was already pretty destroyed
i don't think mingwa remembers all that since she is trying to make us emphatize with jaekyung and im not sure she knows how to go with his redemption but more than that she needs to work on dan and his journey to get better for himself
