This is the explanation, NOT justification, for who Jaekyung was and has become. Unfortunately, even though he was shown some kindness and direction to crawl his way out of ab*se and poverty, the path was through boxing. He literally fought his way out through his fists. It wasn’t a warm home, warm clothes, or loving emotions that nurtured and saved that little boy. He fought his way from the bottom, through blood and sweat, and never learned proper emotion or love nor have it modeled to him. Villains aren’t born, they’re made. He needs to learn how to love, and so does Dan, because they’re both broken in their own way. Jaekyung a little more so, in terms of being emotionally stunted.
With that backstory, the way he treats Dan’s grandmother doesn’t seem so strange or fake anymore. It’s a long road ahead but hopefully the author spends a FULL arc on Jaekyung growing past his “fight to live” and solving problems w fists phase to be a real human before ending up with Dan. Otherwise neither of them can be complete, alone or with each other

There’s something very melancholic about this whole story. They fit together like a puzzle, two broken hearts who complete each other. I feel so bad for the senpai though, Mii-chan lost his sister but that man lost his love, in a horrific traumatizing kind of way no less. I hope he too finds happiness. For now he just gotta be the reluctant translator and watches over these two love birds

Seme CLEARLY fell for uke because they’re fated mates/instincts. There was no background story, previous encounter, special run-ins, etc. to justify their instant attraction. So for the author to back out of the fated mates thing with the cheesy “I would’ve fallen for you whether you were an alpha or beta” is just hilarious!

Isn’t the point of a SEquel is character development??!!!! Rou hasn’t grown a single hair on his stupid a$$, saying something shitty like that, even if he doesn’t really mean it. If Yoshino overheard, he would’ve been hurt! In the prequel Rou was pretty thoughtless, he’s a playboy, experienced in love games, and I felt almost sorry for Yoshino for falling for it but had hopes that their love will make him more mature. The sequel ruined it!

In vol1 their relationship literally had no depth at all. This makes sense for 1. His character, 2. Their relationship
They were having a surface level relationship from the beginning, this shows Rou being thoughtless and that causing issues while Yoshino is uncomfortable but doesnt communicate. And in the end both learn from that, Rou starts to pay attention to how his actions can affect their relationship and Yoshino learns he can to communicate his feelings and be more possessive
If you don't see the development that's on you tbh bc it's literally right there ( ̄へ ̄)

Gotta read this with mind widddeeee open.
Rape, 23yo fcking/dating 17(?)yo, Aya being jobless, but a rich/lucky gambler at casino. Even he acknowledges that he’s a red flag, and he has no good points to share with Nazu’s older sister. And yet this fictional red flag is a completely devoted bf to the cute baby Nazu. I feel so conflicted reading this, but giddy at the same time bc Aya actually loves Nazu a lot, completely devoted to him, and they’re actually happy together
If they’re gonna come up w such a DARK AND DISTURBING background for the uke (incest AND SA, of a MINOR no less) then they better stick the landing by giving it a proper ending with consequences. Cannot go extremely dark to a fluffy “I’m having sex with someone who loves me” ending and expect audience to go aweeeee what a sweet story (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
