i havent read a yaoi this good in such a long time omfg. theres no fetishization, and they literally reversed all the yaoi stereotypes. plus seryoung is one of the best written characters i've ever seen. loved this sm 10/10
can you explain? what yoai sterotypes were reversed?
I’m going to take a guess and say toxic tops, rape & SA, top is taller and more masculine, uke is smaller, meek and feminine
This is pretty much a copypasta on tiktok
yes pretty much! the top is feminine and smaller whereas the bottom is masculine and built. theres no toxicity, in fact the top made the bottom a better person since he was homophobic to begin with.
there was definitely rape and sa. junseob was coerced. he might have been insufferable, but that's all he's guilty for. seryeong, on the other hand, committed a crime, recognizes that he did, and yet is an unrepentant asshole. the toxic tropes are still there, just packaged differently
THANK YOU!
no, you dont understand that they made a DEAL. seryoung STARTED this whole thing by giving junseob the opportunity to clear up the lie among his friends and everyone, or they could start having sex and date or whatever. it was a fair deal. junseob chose that fate, he couldve easily told everyone that that was a lie, but he didnt. he brought this upon himself, plus it was his fault all along tbh, why would he lie about dating some unknown person and causing seryoung so much trouble.
it doesn't matter, he didn't want it even if he agreed to it. do you think the weight of their actions is the same?
let's scale it up. a person gets trafficked and is forced into prostitution. the deal is if they make enough money they can buy their way out. how does this hold for you?
junseob is also being fetishized as a straight dude

consent doesn't come with stipulations
i feel so bad for kageo. i hope after he's defeated by our mister main character he can become his ally and join their little group of friends. hes just a little kid who never wanted to be born as a monster.
fr its so tragic what happened to him but there's no way hes gonna live on without her
his personality irl is so unique and silly i love it
im ngl the concept of two people with zero morals who are completely done with life falling in love and living a life very different from the societal standards is excellent, but pedophilia is something that i just cant overlook no matter how fucked up its supposed to be. idk why the author couldnt have just made both of them grown adults, this wouldve been one of my favourite dark romances stories if they were.
Fr fr it's so abstract that it's fascinating. Bro fr pedophilia just makes it instantly much worse. I think author put the high-school guy to be in an upperclass so he may be an adult - I hope.
so fucking happy that this has a happy ending. if it had a sad ending i would probably never recover
as sad as their lore is i hope pietro kills him fast and painlessly, so that he can be with yuika in their afterlife
Are we forgetting just how bad that guy was? How cruel of acts he commited? Considering he melted people to death, I don’t think he deserves an easy way out.
every single person in this webtoon is a bad person. they've all killed, and if there are people who deserve more sympathy than the others, kageo is definitely one of them.
I would say rather, a lot of them are morally grey characters. Even if they all killed, it also depends who and how? And I would’ve had sympathy for them if not for the fact that after their revenge when they could’ve left, they chose to hurt innocent people. Unprovoked. Like did we forget she’s a human trafficker? And he stood by her, no matter how horrible she was? They were by far, one of the most cruel and inhuman characters in the story. That’s why I have no sympathy for either her or him. It’s reminds me of Lookism, idk if u read it but there was also a simp with a tragic story who stood by a serial rapist, and got a good ending cause apparently tragic love justifies horrible deeds. Sorry, personally, no matter the background people, like that don’t deserve sympathy. I hope Pietro doesn’t go easy on him.
He would deserve sympathy only if he wasn’t an enabler and sole supporter of her cruelty. That’s my opinion. They were too inhuman.
i think you're confusing having sympathy with justification/forgiveness. yes, absolutely they both were some of the cruelest characters in the manhwa so far, and i am absolutely not defending nor justifying their actions, but i'm saying that i still sympathise with them because they both had reasons and situations in their childhoods that lead them to become the monsters that they became. i have sympathy for him in the way that i would like it if his death was fast and painless, but honestly if pietro makes him suffer, he deserves it. just my opinion <3
I respect and agree with that. I guess since I’m very eye for an eye kind of person (when it comes to serious crimes) I don’t want them to have it easy. As long as he dies I’m good, ig. I was super upset about happy ending in the other manhwa. So yeah, I can’t sympathize with him really, but I understand u.
