Look me in the fucking eyes and tell me human form Banam doesn't look like Nanami Kento

I mean if you look at their names, it's like the author replaced the 'n' from nanami with a 'b' then removed the 'i' to not make it too obvious. It's not uncommon for authors to do that when they design a character based from another character in a similar field so makes really me wonder if the author designed banam after nanami

I see someone here comparing it to nekoboys/werewolves and they don't see why people are still bothered by this. Correct me if i'm wrong: neko boys/girls are fetishism of cat appendages and mannerisms while werewolves is the fetishism of the lycan/werewolf lore. This BL, on the other hand, is drawing our attention to the differences of the psychology between a human and an animal- specifically, of the pet's and his owner's. Jonggu is not a dog anymore but still has the mind of one. Euncheol sees and treats him as his pet dog but it's another story altogether in bed since Jonggu can fuck him with his human dick and he knows Jonggu will gladly give it to his master. He explicitly stated that Eunchol is his dear puppy, best friend, AND fuckbuddy. So far, those three are mutually exclusive and circumstantial to him; he’s defined Jonggu and by extension, their relationship in the long run. I think people are mostly bothered by the not not-bestiality and the power imbalance between the two. I don't think Euncheol is fetishising Jonngu being a former dog (or still-a-dog-mentally). And frankly, it's all just fascinating to me because the author is deliberately heading towards a minefield to disable the said minefield.

i'm just glad it's not pedophilia

My bad... I forgot about Doyoon or blocked it out. As a result, I found op’s comment a bit triggering cos it just seemed out of nowhere. Obvs everyone is glad there is no pedophilia... I’m not sure it’s necessary to point that out. Pls think about people’s triggers before you say stuff or at least add a tw. Thanks

I can’t believe i made an account just to reply to this
hey it's not cool to point fingers when there's nothing to point with to begin with. Are you actually blaming op for not putting tws on an illegal site that has some of the most questionable content in this planet? i’ve seen comments here that were more triggering, like ppl finding what’s essentially kidnapping, r*pe and abuse hot. Don’t even get me started with ppl celebrating torture and killing. AND PPL FINDING GROOMING N PAEDOPHILIA CUTE AND SWEET (IM LOOKING AT U SUPERLOVERS FANBASE). I don’t see you bitching at them. Why don’t you find those comments one by one and ask what’s wrong with them. Why don't you tell the author to put a tw on that chapter? Looks like people called you out for being rude and entitled and now you're trying to pull the victim card. And for the fucking record, i was groomed and assualted by a pedo (fuck that guy) but did the chapter trigger me? No. Because they weren't talking about paedophilia, it was just a guess by the top (it was literally three words) which btw was immediately proven wrong by the red head in one fucking panel. Did op's comment trigger me? No. Because op wasn't referring to how the manhwa has acts of paedophilia in it but instead, how it fucking didn't. Op wasn't even talking about pedophilia in any context. This is why us people with triggers and traumas get such a bad rep everywhere. It's bc ppl like you who don't know how to use tws in the right context and how to remind ppl politely. When i see triggering comments and i see a lot, i just immediately scroll up and mind my own fucking business. You should do the same. You think you could get away with being an entitled jerk just because you have traumas. wHaT’s WrOnG wItH yOu?? No, wtf is wrong with YOU. You should come with a trigger warning bc look at how fucking triggered i am.

1. OP, I’m sorry. There’s nothing wrong with you.
2. There IS something wrong with me and it was triggered by your comment. I won’t apologise for feeling that way cos it’s not my fault. Please consider prefacing stuff like this with a tw next time. Usually, when I see those I know I’m clicking at my own risk.
3. That long ass comment before this one, I ain’t reading it but I’m glad the poster got to create an account and get some shit off their chest.
4. Bye y’all

people gotta stop comparing every psychological thriller horror BLs to Killing Stalking. You're undermining this BL's narrative and many others. You have to understand that this isn't a simple perpetrator-victim turned deranged lovers story; this is a story of utter depravity caused not just by individuals in high places but also by individuals stuck in a rock and a hard place.

i’m really not the person to ask for recommendations bc i have a potato for a brain but i’ll try my best. These are from my clusterfuck of a list which means it's messy as shit and not every single one of them have all these themes together (psychological, thriller, horror, dark). Some of them only have one of those, some more than one so sue me
Moritat
My little inferno
MADK (nom nom nom)
Saezuri Tori wa habatakanai (ah yes a classic)

Kaidan BL (this one is... just buckle up for this one)

*they’re not BLs but if you’re into psych/thriller/horror, check them out

ngl when the top cried, i fell quite a bit in love with him wtf im supposed to only have spite for men on principle and love women because women. But jesus fuck the fact that he did his research because he genuinely has the swimming intructor's safety in mind with no seggsuall agenda at all got me all "yeah sex is cool but this is better" damn, our bar for men is literally on the floor huh
and that dialogue bubble with just 'wtf' in it is a perpetual mood
wtf fanfic writers predicted this right down to the smallest fucking detail years ago- what the actual fuck god, i'm still devastated by the emotional abandonment guan shan didn't expect himself to feel every time he tian left without a word in those fics. And jian yi also left so pretty much everyone was an angsty mess.
in regards to the title, i thought this info was common knowledge
It is. But to know and to see are two completely different things. I just gained a newfound respect for ao3 writers, well for the good ones anyway
yeah i can understand that lmao
