Awwwwww Seonjae stopped being a huge jerk! I admit I started hating him when he as well as everyone else was being so inconsiderate of how sick, down, and depressed Juwon was despite him constantly looking out for everyone and resolving issues and cleaning and etc. When he took was walking with Dongha to get a hangover cure for Juwon, and Dongha felt as though Juwon hated him because he wasn’t trying to get any of his “love stickers” or whatever, Seonjae basically said “You’re right! He doesn’t think of you as special at all. However, I do, so you should love me and not him!”. It was just so underhanded and crappy and I literally never forgave him after that. It truly hurt to watch as all the vampires fought to snatch Dongha away and wouldn’t let Juwon get even a second alone with him, and ignored how obviously depressed Juwon was. Anytime Dongha and Juwon were talking alone, he’d always notice and swoop in to take Dongha away because he knew that Dongha was too considerate to deny him, yet he didn’t notice how Dongha was getting harassed by a pervert. He was just so inconsiderate and ignored how severely depressed Juwon was about Dongha, and even when he was depressed, he was still doing a better job looking out for him than any of the other vampires! When Seonjae was complaining that Juwon wanted someone to look after him, Juwon brought up the great point that he’s always looking after everyone else even when they aren’t sick. And yet Seonjae was still a dick to him, and only took care of him after that to look good in front of Dongha! Seonjae was guilt-tripping him, attacking him, making him feel like garbage and like his feelings weren’t valid, all so that he could get closer to Dongha. He was just the worst brother possible. He started improving when Dongha clearly rejected him, and it was super funny to see his crying face so often, and now he’s finally stopped being an underhanded asshole. Love that development.
Alex better stop being so goddamn charming because the Taehwan hate train is looking reaaaaal good right now.
Hear me out, what if the main character in a bl/yaoi manga didn’t have to wait patiently for the main love interest to stop being toxic and didn’t have to spend the majority of their relationship showing their “love” through constant intense subservient sexual release? What if the main character just fell in love with someone hot and kind and loving and open because they’re hot, kind, loving, and open! It hurts to watch Yeonwoo fall down to his knees the second Taehwan opens his mouth and while they have to sneak around to hook up every other day, especially when I can’t help but imagine how joyfully and openly Alex would parade Yeonwoo around as his boyfriend, and he’d do it with pride. But sure, I guess convincing your sex partner to secretly where a vibrator while he’s going throughout his school day is better than a happy and healthy relationship lmfao.
I guess I just hate how yaoi mangas feel the need to sacrifice romance, consent, loving actions, etc. for the sake of making things !!!!!SUPER ULTRA SEXY!!!!!... Like imagine if we could get the best of both worlds with super attractive characters that openly like each other and are romantic and loving and aren’t tiptoeing around as if they’re committing the awful crime of being gay, while also thriving sexually. Also while skipping over the whole “the guy I have a crush on is a closeted evil asshole who I have to wait 40 chapters for him to develop as a character in a way that may actually not make him a horrible person to attempt to have a real healthy relationship with.” Conflict doesn’t have to come from the main characters being horrible people lmao, or from r*pe, blackmail, extortion, manipulation, kidnapping, drugging, and every other horrible toxic yaoi trope.
Quick Summary:
BL/Yaoi mangas like this one make me feel like healthy sexy gay love is dead and that makes me sad
AYO I’VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR EVER. I really, really wish that there were more healthy, loving relationships in yaois, as they all seem to have some rapey element, or if not that, someone’s super toxic and gets “reformed” by the other in the relationship. If these were real couples, they would never work out. Anyways, if you want a recommendation for a really healthy relationship that has problems that stem from outside of the relationship, I recommend Dark Heaven by Juns
I’m tired of the redhead slander that comes with yaoi. Why do redheads always gotta be evil? Give me kind gingers!
I feel like this time a new tag should be put in mangas: b*tch red head alert
I’m feeling such a complicated mix of pissed and sad and confused and conflicted and I just don’t know at this point. Both of them are dumb and need to fix things IMMEDIATELY because the longer this goes on, the worst the situation gets. I can’t even root for or against anyone at this point. I just want all of them to be happy, and I get so upset the second any one of them gets a one-up over the other. This story was perfectly designed for unavoidable distress.
Ahhhhhhhh I hate how reasonably creepy and possessive he’s being. More so, I hate how the drama has gotten to a point where he needs to be this creepy and possessive.
I can handle drama, but whenever it dives into the typical adult yaoi conflict plot-points like r*pe, sexual assault, drugging, business corruption, extortion, blackmail, bribery, toxically possessive lovers (although in this case it’s warranted), toxic nepotism, the main antagonist being this big cocky ceo that can’t be touched because he has too much power and he can literally get away with being a literal super-villain level criminal because of this, and everyone just has to deal with the abuse because they don’t have any way to get at him.... it’s just a bit much and makes me very mentally and emotionally exhausted.
That’s why I’ve been trying to orient my viewership to more school-based romantic comedy bl’s/yaoi’s because they also have some drama but it’s not nearly as frustrating or exhausting to experience. And I feel the relationships are cuter and more palatable. I still absolutely adore this story and many others that dive deep into the drama like this one, I can just only take it in small doses when the drama gets to be a bit too much and the reading experience has more traumatic moments than cute loving moments lol.
You’d really think that at some point he’d just decide to wear baggy sweatpants everywhere rather than jeans and a belt which he destroys every time he gets slightly aroused lmfao
With literally any other manga, red flags would be flying the second a love interest answers their lovers phone without their permission and blocks a person trying to contact them while staring angrily at the screen, but I know with him and this couple specifically, it’s completely necessary and caring. Everything is done with love. There’s literally not a hint of toxicity between them, and seeing a love interest be overprotective of the mc in relation to actually horrible people that requires a bit of overprotection, but not in a controlling or possessive way, is super refreshing. I love them so much. Just two wholesome non-toxic lovers protecting each other from toxic people trying to infiltrate their lives.
Preach... on the other hand I totally thought ur pfp was a picture of Kageyama and Hinata from Haikyuu!! making out lol. I have a picture like that stored somewhere deep in my phone. I can’t seem to find it but I know it’s there lmao
Right and them communicating with each other and waiting until they were both ready to do the deed is also nice fresh breath of air.
I’m getting real sick and tired of crying every time I read these chapters. It’s just so wholesome and well developed and loving and it gives such a warm feeling in my chest and agh. The absolute cutest characters I’ve ever seen. The story isn’t too packed with depressing drama. Not a smidgum of toxicity. This is some good bl…
don't cry ╥﹏╥
