Yeahh honorifics aren't so important for western culture, like english, so the bro thing is kinda funny lol. I think it reads better as hyung, like because he had even mentioned wanting to be a good hyung to him and now that it's happening he's lol well turned on so that's why it's a big deal him being called/acknowledged as hyung
But I'll probably keep reading to see how crazy this guy is. Every now and then I give in to these thrillers even though my entire reading experience is just me instinctively trying to look away and repeating things like, "oh no oh no oh shit run away," just constant fight or flight reading, phew.
Also lmao green hair y'all? Pretty sure it's at least trying to be brown. Idk I didn't see green.
Yeah it would be nice to have trigger warnings or appropriate and specific genres, but like who are you gonna talk to about it? If you paid for the story, maybe you could reach out to the author or host site to request they add those, but lmao you didn't so chill. Perhaps look for context clues that the story might have non-con or dubcon, like if the description has "sadist," or "trap," I'd say that's definitely sus if you're avoiding noncon or dubcon or fictional rape.
I happen to have a crazy people fetish so I like this kinda fiction
I mean, rape is cool with me (you know what I mean) when it's not romanticized? So I'm not gonna avoid something just 'cause it has a rape tag. I'm just a part of the minority who reads shit for the plot lol, and rape that's just brushed off is a bad plot device, but to each their own ig.
Same, rape that's not a plot device is good, like being a backstory of a character. Of course not the seme who rapes, but some other jackass like the teacher who traumatizes the uke in Boy Meets Maria or smth. It adds to the angst and plot, and it makes the character feel real. Of course there has to be trauma and the rapist has to be jail, idk why they don't write that in most yaoi (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Idk y'all I feel like there are labels like dubcon and noncon, because they're fictional characters, it's a fictional story. Technically it's not rape if they don't tell us it is in the story.
The reason for tags and genre labels, and for my advice in the comment to read the descriptions and try to avoid certain words, is because I get that these fictional versions of dubcon/noncon scenes aren't for everyone, and for many possible reasons. But being able to separate fiction from reality is really important.
Like it's okay to not like stuff, but if you know you don't like it, avoid it. But if you find yourself drawn to it, and feel uncomfortable, you don't need to shame yourself because liking something in a fictional story is not the same as wanting it for yourself or for another person.
And that moment when their fingers touched while facing away, gosh dang did I feel that
Haha yes,. they're so adorable,.I go back just to see it again
They're so cuuute, fighting in that hotel like kids, and when his date got interrupted. Probably my favorite type of couple and I don't like omegaverse so i wasn't expecting such a wholesome story :)
Cute couple and I like Sena's style, but lol really just ditched your family over a conversation you overheard? And like had his brother ever reached out? Drives me crazy when they just jump years away like whoops, lost all that time for nothing, oh well.
But sure, Sena is adorable so we forgive him.
I think there's a cultural aspect to it - Japanese culture places such a high priority in the wellbeing of the group over individuals. I've read many stories of someone quietly estranging themselves from their family due to some kind of conflict or potential for conflict. By doing so, the peace is maintained. I could be wrong but it's a pattern I've noticed over the years.
Yeah i agree it happens more often than we think and it didn’t exactly happen over night for him it was more like a process?
And the reconciliation took time too i mean they were on speaking terms towards the end but it was still awkward and they had a lot to catch up on
Having experienced insecurity and it ruining my relationship, Maya is so infuriating. Like no shit he questions whether you love him or not since you blackmailed him into a relationship, and then never even said you love him, and you act like you're not even gay. A lot of yaoi stories are like, "let's see how much shit the uke is willing to put up with if the seme is hot?"
That's probably why I'm reading it though. I love stories that make no sense and just keep going with it. It makes the shocked faces pretty funny
Thanks for translating! But omg the poor fish lol :(
Thanks for commenting. And agreed RIP poor babies ;(
