Jaekhyung is just wayyy too toxic, like it's way past criminal level I understand the hype over toxic tops being knocked down from his high horse and groveling at the feet of the other, like I love to see it, however the author has pretty much ruined jaekhyung as a character. If he wasn't the main character he'd literally be the main antagonist/villain of the story, I'm only gonna keep reading because I know the author intends to make him pathetic and pitiful at some point lmao
Just realized I spelled jaekyung wrong don't mind me
It's not even that bad compared by other toxic tops, ruined? girl.. have you read any other bl manhwa other than jinx
No girl as someone who reads a lot, he is really bad, idk if you've just forgotten half of the chapters or what
I was listening to laufey and the "let you break my heart again" chorus started playing as I was reading Dan's letter and istg a tear formed yeah but no Joo you feel like shit because you actually are a piece of shit, hope this helps!
I!!!! The WAY I literally said, OUT LOUD “yeah well that’s bc YOU are a piece a shit” as I read this chapter
ME TOO I said "you should" at the very least I'm glad he has the capability to feel bad about someone other than himself
Maybe she could've listened for a few seconds longer? Cuz me personally if I'm being nosy I'm staying until the end idc
she did say it reminded her of her past... fear took over her
I can understand and relate to that ngl but this just feels like a cliche misunderstanding for the sake of dragging it on
I've been reading since it came out and I really can't see what so many ppl are complaining ab (besides the lack of respect jaehyuk has for garam at certain points) I feel like him having a stuck up personality is was makes this so interesting and unique, rather than just being a fuck boy who hits on a bunch of ppl, he's a fuck boy who's never hit on anyone in his entire life so he doesn't know what "liking" someone means so hes always messing up when he around garam, making garam dislike him further. Watching him slowly get over himself is what makes this so fun to read but maybe that's just me, I wanna see how their relationship is gonna be fixed, although I can already tell it's not gonna be as satisfying as Jae groveling on his knees unfortunately lmao
I guess it was just the whole "taking no as a yes" thing and piercing on someone who's asleep which are honestly valid
That's so real honestly I almost quit at that chapter too I had faith tho
Like the artist definitely has potential, but the perspective is all over the place and the proportions are bonkers sometimes. Also, the way she's all sweaty in those few chapters is really unsettling like how can the ml not notice how bad she looks, especially in the newest chapter (ch.39). Like I know he probably doesn't like her enough to care, but not even an acknowledgement? From anybody? What's the point of drawing her like that if no one in the story even acknowledges it happening. Last thing, and this isn't something I like discussing cause i understand everyone goes at their own pace and stuff, but the pacing is pretty bad. The chapters are short (which isn't really smth I'm complaining about cuz again, the artist has their own life and time to worry ab) and there really is no development with their characters/relationship. They had that one encounter that ended with nothing happening besides them hating eachother even more, and the rest of the following chapters have just been further delving into how terrible of a person the fl is, we don't even know why she's such a dick other than some forced rich family drama that makes no sense. Plus, the name is "I hate you, will you have sex with me" and the cover art is pretty suggestive, but we're 40 chapters in and haven't seen even a glance of anything from anyone. I don't wanna sound like a weirdo starving for smut, but if you're gonna focus on character building rather than relationship development, name your series accordingly as to not attract the wrong crowd. I think that's all I gotta say, I'm not hating for no reason its just that most of these are things I've had problems with since I started reading ^^
Also, I'm reading for the interesting plot, not just for the smut. I just think the lack of smut wouldn't bother the other commenters if the pacing, writing, and art was better. Cuz theres tons of stories I love that take a while before things start getting sexual, the only difference is the characters are likable, the art/writing choices have purpose, and the chapters are a reasonable length so it's easier to keep the pacing on track. I know the author won't see this considering where I'm posting it, but I hope ppl will read the comment and agree with me so they know that it isn't the lack of smut that makes this series difficult to read, it's everything else (=・ω・=)
I love your comment also btw never feel weird about getting impatient for the smut because it’s all about building tension like we all know it’s gonna happen and sometimes the tension is built in a satisfying way like you said - likeable characters and reasonable length chapters etc. - but this series isn’t building the tension very well imo so it totally makes sense the way you feel. It’s like we’ve already figured out what has to happen and what’s going to happen we’re just waiting for the characters to catch up to us which can get annoying.
Exactlyy that's such a good way to put it! We know where this is going but it's taking way too long to get there, the only tension they have is aggressive and full of animosity which doesn't exactly make you look forward to their development cuz you know it's gonna feel very slow and sudden at the same time part of being a good author is thinking of what the reader already knows, and what they wanna see, but this author doesn't seem to be thinking of any of that cuz no one ever knows what's going on when a new chapter releases(bc literally nothing is happening its just another pointless filler chapter). Do these chapters build character a little? Maybe, but are they needed? Not at all, we already know the kind of character the fl and ml are so lets just get to point. I hope the author improves though because this plot has a lot of potential, which is why I started reading in the first place lol
SPOILER WARNING FOR ANYONE READING THE COMMENTS (just in case idk what anyone is about or not lol)
agree completely, this is also the first series to give me second male lead syndrome (just in case you don’t already know, it’s when the reader prefers the second male lead to the first) cause I can imagine the story between her and Oliver (in my crazy brain it would be all about her realizing how treating people so poorly is wrong and how it affects her relationship with him and her development into a more mature and positive person) but based on the cover photo and the chapters so far I already know that Oliver isn’t even an option, so like you said it’s all aggressive and animosity and sudden reaction to each other. And I’m just not personally deeply interested in whoever gets the project they’re working on because she’s a terrible boss, and he’s so nice it’s like.. why are we focusing so much on this? I can’t root for her as a boss, just as a character with potential for change.
Also I agree this series has so much potential, I love the ideas behind it, her struggling with pain during sex is real and relatable to a lot of women, and I enjoy the art, I just wish there was more suspense or tension between the two leads, but eh, I’m not gonna drop it! (⌒▽⌒)
That's literally how people act towards people with chronic pain. Watched it happen to coworkers, friends have told me their for life illness is also treated the same. Heck even had it happen to me but I told them what it was and then they pretend they couldn't see how I was struggling after they sate their curiosity. People just really dgaf more often than not if you look like you're in pain lol
Some people really lack humanity and critical thinking When put in this perspective, it makes more sense why no one even bat an eye at her, and that's actually really sad, I thought at least the ml would care at all considering he's yknow the male lead. But if he actually doesn't gaf like the rest, that's another reason I'm not rooting for them
Yall sayin you're sick of the gaming aspect meanwhile I can't get over how cute the avatars all look, esp jistar
So does jong-oh actually like Joon? He acts like he does but them ah-in claims that jong-oh likes him? Is this supposed to be a love triangle?? Cause this is a pretty fucked up attempt at it. I'm not even gonna get into the brother (which I'm guessing they aren't actually related, but it's still weird since they grew up together)
Besides the dumb generic ending tropes they pulled in the last 5 frames, there's so many plot holes in the story. For starters, what even was the point of the emperor and Penelope's relationship? It affected literally nothing at all, it didn't help anyone, and it didn't make the emperor have a change of heart at all. He started falling in love with her or something, but he doesn't even think about her for a second during the final battle, and she never shows up. And why give us the backstory of the emperor and Teana if it barely affects the story or their development at all. There's so many loose ends they half assed, it feels like they had a plan for these side stories but they trashed them all for a rush ending. And onto my main issue. The way they hyped up Grace's powers and built up to her being a super powerful dragon or wtv, and then when she finally embraces them (in the last episode) she barely uses them. We don't even know how powerful she really is cause the only comment we get is "her attacks are stronger". And she wasn't even the one who defeated the emperor, it was her dad who had to save her from his random, unnecessary, and uncharacteristic suicide bombing. Then they immediately skip to 4 years later? And the duke is in a comma for what?? Such wasted potentional.
These comments were confusing me cuz I thought they were referring to the most recent chapter cuz were posted so recently talkin ab "hate sex" and not knowing eachothers names when the newest chapter is the exact opposite of that
zoro got lost again in bl manhwa
I didn't get lost someone gave me shitty directions swear
