Is that a "sorry I'm leaving" or a "sorry I'm going to go find Raymond and tell him not to marry her"
LMAOOOO RIGHT? im honestly worried for the next chapter
I think the tag "rape fantasy" should be added to this yaoi or in the warnings because this seems to be what the author is going for.
Rape fantasy is a kink and done where it doesn't hurt anyone is fine but people like me coming in are obviously off puted when we read it. But if that tag was in the warnings there would be nothing else to say.
tags like dubcon and noncon alrdy exist and those are facets of rape fantasy or "forced seduction" aka the soft way of saying rape to love stories lol. i mean i do think "rape fantasy" is a good tag to have on a porn site but this isnt a porn site. so it could be misleading cause altho its (ideally) trying to fulfill a fantasy or fetish for the reader, the fact is there's a variation on how dubcon and noncon sex scenes are portrayed in smut stories. some are more dark and raunchy, some are violent, some are silly and practical comical, others are actually handled in a thoughtful way (those are rare tho) and ofc that ignores the ones that are actually erotic and interested in exploring consent and the complexity of like...sex itself? (example would be someone who gets off on being humiliated sexually but is deeply upset over this part of themselves and thus refuses to openly admit it which results in alot of dubcon sex where the person denies wanting it in order to preserve their sense of dignity while also actually wanting said humiliating sex. that's common as heck tbh. some mangas handle that in a cool way and others....dont. example of a bad take on this is the oft found in TL innocent heroines wanting sex but not being allowed or able to say they do so they just have to be Taken while they say "nuuuu" the whole time. smh). im sry i have so many thoughts about porn. i should go 2 bed. (also some smut stories have dubcon and im left wondering if the author actually realized that's even what it was cause literally no one in the story acts like something wrong happened? looking at YOU love level up. i had to drop that recently...pity)
Bro your funny as hell lol keep going if you want I'm taking notes. Also I really loved love level up did something happen in the recent chapters wait never mind domt answer that I saw updates so I'll just reread it. Also whats your thought on this particular yaoi?
oh with love level up i only read what's on lezhin. i got about 11 or 12 chpts in. i was just deeply uncomfortable with how this boy has his virginity taken while drunk out of his mind. and is penetrated without evene knowing that happened....and its just like an "oopsie~" as far as the plot is concerned....like its one thing for that to happen and its another for that to happen and...be absolutely not an issue at all? like....again thats not how any real person in that situation would act. and the story is going for a slice of life romcom thing. likewise the long haired guy who did all this not only doesnt feel bad about it but continues to like lie and trick the guy he slept with (who was a virgin!) and its like supposed to be funny and im supposed to find it cute and like....pass. i just cant connect to a story so devoid of interest in like how people actually process emotion or act like....this kid also never thought of himself as gay or into men and suddenly he has his loses his virginity to a man that he didnt even recognize as having a crush on yet that he thought was his friend and didnt even know had feelings for him like that and its penetrative sex and like....his reaction is p much like "welp~ how embarassing 4 me~" not that he could even remember it all....like...the writer is taking for granted that im reading the story just waiting for them to fuck and no actually i want to be CONVINCED that they have sexual chemistry and should be a couple at all. and i got none of that. so i just dropped it. lol this was so long. but yeah i also refuse to read any fan translations of licensed currently still ongoing work. esp when the translations for webtoons are almost always trash. like so many times its soemone ripping stuff of toonkor or newtoki and then badly translating it with help from a machine and its like..such a transparent attempt at getting attention more than anything else. so i avoid it and thus wouldnt know whats going on in the new LLU chpts even if i didnt drop it lol. (the downside is i spent money on a webtoon i ultimately didnt end up liking or wanting to continue. oh well). so far of the 3 attempts i've made at Brothers Without a Tomorrow webtoons. it hasnt clicked. it might be time for me to recognize that their work is just NOT for me.
my thoughts on Pussycat Alley is that its very silly, rapey and no one makes any sense but i still found it a nice way to pass the time. kinda annoyed that when they finally confess their love we DONT see them have sex. like damn its finally 100 percent consensual and u cut away? ok then....but i dont rly care much about if there's rapey elements in these kinds of short smutty mangas. they arent trying to pretend like they have any basis in reality and are often fun or easy to get thru. there is the whole tonal whiplash of how it starts vs how it ends and ofc nazumu doesnt act like any kind of real person would act but at least the art is nice and it was a quick read. unlike LLU bamboozling me for 10+ weeks into thinking it would have substance only for it to not have any. (but it helps that i didnt have to pay for this lol. i read the preview pages on Renta for this debating what to spend my bonus points on and decided to pass on it cause it looked stupid and rapey which it was lol. but still readable. spent ma points elsewhere~)
Lol I feel like I'm doing a thorough analysis on your comment. If you'll allow me to continue the debate (if you want to keep the conversation going).
So I've gathered 4 points from your comment, boy gets raped while drunk, all the characters act unrealistic, translations and pussy cat alley.
About love level up I had to go reread the chapters to make sure I got what you mean. Maybe it was because of the difference in translation or the scan job from what's on here and what's on lezhin but every sex scene posted here was consensual. Chapter 3 is when he was dead drunk, the author used the trope "drunk person gets an erection and other character offers to help". That's how that scene proceeded he didn't penetrate perse, as in full on sex but I guess you can call his figures penetration (lol what's your thoughts on that is it as bad as him actually penetrating or passable when related to the blurred lines of consent that's acceptable in yaoi p.s acceptable is an umbrella term I've used it's more like something we've all agreed to look past). Chapter 9 is the next big "sex" scenes after days of the characters feeling the iconic "I don't know why but I want to talk to him" type feeling. They have a day date type thing and a scene where they are going to "practice kissing" inside a hotel room, which they do. Uke gets a boner and the seme asks if he wants felatio uke approves bada Bing bada boom, They start going further but seme stops since he wants to take it slow the uke was accepting the entire time and giving his approval. And the next time they have sex was when they approved they're love and it was consensual.
If where talking about how the characters act I think it's pretty wholesome and interesting, that's something I really enjoyed about it. Lol you can say it was a breath of fresh air I can't speak on realistics because I must have ignored it while reading the first time so ima pass on that.
Now pussy cat alley isn't the type of yaois I usually read so this type of story isn't my expertise so I'm just going to be asking you to answer my questions so that I can learn more, if you may you mentioned it being a silly, rapey short smutt which I'm gathering to be something like the genre. Just a unrealistic silly rape story, okay I think I understand that part. Everyone likes goofy storys that technically don't make any sense but you like it anyway (even though this one wasn't for me). You also mentioned they aren't trying or pretending to have a basis in reality. Do you have some examples of storys that do try and do that since I have nothing to compare it too. Also what are some points in the manga where it shows a hint of the story telling the audience "this story is just for fun and isn't supposed to make sense" (once again so I know certain things to look for between a smutty rape themed easy read vs a rape themed manga that's using the theme wrong). I guess you don't have to give me mangas as examples I'd just like an example in general
Period! Fucking finally
I always have hope that these manhwas would turn out like goddess creation system, where they actually leave and move on.
Never seeing each other again or if they do they're deffinently not going back to them. And actually meeting a new character to move on with and leaving the past in the past.
But a girl can only hope
"What am I feeling guilty for..." uhm alot of things kid
Are we not going to mention the egg coming out yea maybe we shouldn't
