This is several layers of embarassing
She lost the plot! Girl avenge your people tf? No D is good enough to make you forget genocide!! Tf is this plot?
Where did her trauma go?
This was initially interesting and now this is what we got.
How tf did they cut off the Baños arc when it's so important for the plot? What abt the brother who joins the guild?
Idk if it's just me but the smut scenes in Jinx feel like a chore, I recall Bj Alex had a similar intimate dynamic but the smut scenes were not so lacking?
Tbh they make me feel incredibly uncomfortable, we barely see Dan enjoying himself and it looks very forced and r" pey.
Idk what's wrong with Korean authors and fetishizing r'pe?
Jjk and Dan BARELY have any suggsual chemistry and the whole thing is hella dub-con straight up assault at times.
Tbh one great example of a couple who does things the rough way is the couple in Shutline, the art is stunning and though the smut scenes are getting slightly better, it's still really subpar for a manhwa this famous.
Great art doesn't mean it always communicates a feeling, it feels like it's just smut for the sake of smut.
Idk, it's just my opinion, the author improved by the end of Bj Alex but we got another version of the same story but worse in some ways?
Idk, jjk seems kinda irredeemable atp, just read the comments lol. Face card doesn't decline but he sucks as a character and he sucks in the smut category, he's the perfect example of a guy who only cares if he gets off.
With a mostly female audience, I don't think that's appealing.
Tbh Jjk's past is messed up and sad but I'm still waiting to see what possibly turned him into the kind of person he is and more importantly WHY did he treat Dan like that and why did he take advantage of him?
Seeing the kind of past he has, he was determined to turn out different, he seems quite aware esp as a teenager of the destructive behavior he grew up and around and how he shouldn't take on certain habits.
But why did he turn into an abuser himself especially with his partners? And kim Dan of all people?
Idk y'all, seeing how aware he was as a teen and how "square" he was, it doesn't make sense to me why he became how he is..
This shit ghetto af
I have no idea what's going on with the gang drama cause so many of those mfs look the same
Ian keeps going for both guys there's nearly ZERO development
The art is stunning, that's it.
The plot is so confusing, if it were interesting, I'd care less abt the love triangle.
We've seen very very little progress with TJ compared to Jo
I'm team Jo, cause it'd make sense for him to work out with Ian, but the way the story is progressing, things aren't making.much sense.
Tbh, he can end up with either one of them long as the author makes it make sense, so far TJ and Ian look like a failed relationship and Ian is still going back to his old ways, the story started with Ian wanting a change but yet and still we're still in the same loop we were in when the story started.
Basically he's got heavy sociopathic tendencies ngl I think he definitely is a sociopath
He doesn't even feel that much attachement to his own mother, all he wants is three things: Become a historically famous emperor, accomplish his expansionist goals (he wants to take over neighboring nations/ invade them) and have Luce.
He takes a crazy amount of time to understand that he loves him cause he doesn't know what the emotion of love is, he realizes it incredibly late in the story.
He deeply cares about politics and decorum, he's very arrogant and wants people to see him in a positive light, only Luce really sees his other sides, he's definitely most comfortable around Luce and he's most likely the only person he trusts after himself.
He's extremely violent and calculating, he's willing to destroy entire nations just for glory cause tbh his nation is already very powerful he doesn't need to take over other people's land, he wants to do it to be remembered as an exceptional emperor and to do that he needs to use Luce's hometown, Vera, which I believe is neutral ground.
Anyway, it's dramatic story, very entertaining, quite dark.
It does take him a long time to realize that his emotions are love and love means not hurting that person even if they don't give you what you want.
His priority has always been being a glorious emperor regardless of anything else, hence why he uses Luce. But then, that shifts, he throws it all out of the window because Luce becomes even.more important than that. Which is huge cause he makes his whole life about being emperor. Lunacy really fits the name cause so far it's just starting, he gets worse with Luce but it all gets crazier once his lunacy becomes less of a secret to the court. He won't even care later on, he'll just obsessively chase after Luce.
Though I gotta say both him and Luce are crazy. Luce definitely loves him, even knowing he's a lunatic, but the prince fumbles the bag many times cause all he had to do was ask and Luce would stay. Instead he hurts Luce and his pride making Luce not want to be with him. Again, the prince is a noble prick who does it all through violence plus he's really young so it all takes a while. But the ride is very interesting.
We're supposed to feel good for his psycho ass?
Shayla run away.
Art ls bad and the story is the corniest.
This has potential but it went downhill from chapter 2
Jo is not really a red flag, the characters are quite realistically written, Jo really likes Ian and in the moment he of course chose to help the person he liked over a strange guy who attacked him. Idk why y'all think his reaction was so bad, as Ian just said in the preview of S3, he isn't used to high stake situations like those.
This isn't really comparable with TJ's situation, him and Ian initially became gangsters to find a way out of poverty, then TJ wanted to go up the hierarchy to protect both himself and Ian, then at some point he became more into being a gangster than anything else, hell, he was even constantly putting Ian and himself in danger because of money and power, and because he wanted those two things Ian no longer became a priority, he became his hidden secret. Ian wanted someone who wouldn't hide him and who would genuinely like him so he could have a healthier relationship. TJ can't give him that stability and won't make Ian a top priority.
Jo remains to be explored, so far we've seen that he's serious about Ian and keeps trying to prove himself to him, this time he tried in a really.messed up way but then again he's a regulat civillian, so he's not used to this much violence.
So far, I'm hoping he's endgame because he's the healthier option, we still have to wait and see how Ian works through his insecurities and trust issues as well as how both his violent world and Ian's fun world will merge, there's bound to be some mess. Let's not forget abt Jo's cousin who has ties to Ian's past environment.
Also, to add to the paragraphs written by the girls saying chase isn't a bad guy.
It was mentioned in the novel that unlike other dominant alphas dude has more empathy.
Remember that all are said to be sociopathic leaning, grayson (chase's older brother) is especially lacking in empathy.
Chase is empathetic and he doesn't release his pheromones with others. So they build up and he becomes a mess.
He's also a major introvert, he enjoys his alone time and is very picky as a person.
Mind you, dom alphas get targeted by ppl in this universe and he doesn't like being in crowds anyway.
He's also very much depressive and lonely (and he can be sui c dal).
Hope this paragraph helps y'all understandhis character a little better now!
4 years later GAGGED TF OUTTA ME GURL.
I haven't been gagged like this in years.
YEARS!
GIMME the next chapter OMG
They're both lovely and in their own right to feel what they're feeling.
They both care for the other and are doing their best. I'm curious to see where this angsty story will go.
No need to hate on either one of them, they're really well written and the story is so well paced.
We don't always have to pick a side in a story, sometimes both individuals aren't bad.
I wonder how they'll work out this whole situation...
I bet the ML is gonna run to military service as an escape and probably completely go off grid even after getting discharged.
Close to finishing the novel and honestly it's SO GOOD!!!!
It's dark, but it's so so entertaining. The plot twists and the DRAMA OOF. This is a really good one ngl.
Again, it's dark af. But damn is it good.
Why is he even the ML?
Everything was fine up untik he first shot him
That demon is us manifesting in the manhwa
Let the groveling begiiiin
He's not right in the head.
I say they should be over, he's so damn toxic.
Ilhoo is fine as hell, idk why the authot is choosing to make him waste his time on this guy.
Y'all need to stop going off on Garam.
Understand you can't FORCE a partner to do something, that's when it becomes toxic.
Sure, it's fine to communicate a need but let the person do it at their own pace, trauma is no joke.
Both are valid for having those insecurities
