So I read the rest of the manhwa on another site and I’m unhappy to report that no it doesn’t get better, no Leewon doesn’t leave him, and of course Ceasar doesn’t apologize and they get a cutesy ending
All I can say is FUCK THIS MANHWA. With everting that it’s put us thru I can now confidently say that it was NOT worth reading…I’m out y’all!
Leewon literally only is sweet talking him so Ceasar will stop raping him but y’all acting like Leewon is complicit going freak 4 freak. Think about it tho. If Leewon tries to break up with him, run, change his identity, etc, Ceasar will catch him and make this chapter look like absolute fluff. He’s saying all this to SURVIVE but at this point there’s too much of him that’s been Stockholm’d that he will most likely stay with him even after all this
Their relationship is not cute or goals or I LOVE OUR BLACK FLAG SO MUCH. Y’all wanted to believe that Ceasar had changed? That deep down he really IS a good person? Well these last few chapters tell you everything you need to know. He is a monster incapable and unwilling to change. Leewon is the victim. And if this was real life Ceasar would have killed him by now
Thank you. I believe the same and hope that we will see change. The last chapter implied that leewon understood that cesar doesn't know what love and a relationship is. Maybe he will show him what it means to him and they somehow both learn to love each other in this twisted relationship. And maybe just maybe cesarean will suffer a bit because of the things he did. At least that is my hope and opinion.
At this point even if his redemption arc is learning how to love and slowly softening I think he’s past the point of forgiveness. I’m gunna keep reading cuz I’m a glutton for punishment but I really don’t want them to end up together. But judging how this manhwa goes, they’re gunna go one of 2 routes:
1) Ceasar is somehow redeemed. I have no idea how but he’ll turn from a black flag to a pink flag and Leewon will be able to go thru a whole year without being kidnapped and raped for breathing in the wrong direction
2) Ceasar will kill Leewon
I don’t agree… leewon could 100% get himself out of this situation. He’s the son of the head of one of the most powerful mafia organizations in russia so just a word from him to his dad would be enough to never see caesar again. Yet time and time again he comes back… there is also a part of him that feels sympathy for Caesar, that this twisted way is the only way he knows how to show feelings, that no one thought him how to love.
I really hope he uses those resources at his disposal this time around. He didn’t back in chapter 40 when the first kidnapping happened cuz he hasn’t made contact yet and at this point I don’t think he will cuz he’s been Stockholm syndromed and love bombed too hard
I can understand why he feels sympathy for Ceasar and wants to try to fix/heal him but I really hope that doesn’t outweigh the dire fact that if he wants to live he needs to escape him. But this is a BL so this horrific abusive relationship will be glamorized and end with everyone going THEY FINALLY DID IT! COUPLES GOALS!!!
I really resent the “time and time again he comes back”. Cuz that’s what happens in abuse relationships. You get roped into this cycle which only actually ends when someone is able to escape or dies. Leewon is IN IT and it’s going to take a horrific situation to make him realize that he needs to escape. It’s never as easy as “just leave” especially when your partner has a track record of kidnapping, shooting, and raping you
The light and lovey dovey version had horrific gang rapes I DON’T EVEN WANNA THINK HOW TRAUMATIZING THE DARK VERSION WOULD HAVE BEEN
The demonic spawn of his parents stupidly intense personalities GOD HELP THE ML
Zhenya and Caesar from Roses and Champange are cousins and you cannot convince me otherwise both are absolutely psychotic and together they would destroy the world lol
put ilay in the same pot and you'd get the trinity lmaooo
I feel for both the MC and the ML. Back in college I had NO self esteem so when I was able to start dating someone I would minimize my needs and not communicate my worries in fear that I would annoy them or come across as clingy. I was so surprised anyone would date me so I accepted any and all bad behavior. I really see myself in the MC and understand that fear firsthand of not wanting to come across as too much and scare them off. It took a long time to be able to build that confidence but I was able to eventually get there
I don’t think this relationship is going to magically get the MC there. He’s really going to need to build that from the inside because if he relies on his bf to get him there he’ll lose that confidence as soon as things get rocky or they break up
As for the ML, I agree with the fact that those of y’all who are slut shaming need to knock it off. College is FOR being a slut, experimenting, finding who you are and things get messy but that’s ok. If you don’t figure your shit out then you figure it out years later when you have more responsibilities and it can REALLY fuck up your life
Sometimes you gotta just let your freak flag fly to see what like, what you don’t like, how your actions impact others, and learn what type of person you want to be
There is no growth without risk. Take this time and just do you. The people who shame you are cowards who are projecting their own insecurities cuz they see you living your best life
This is very well said. Thank you for sharing.
I feel the same, honestly. I was both and I see myself in both of them. I'm still working on my confidence and my communication. I'm not so great at it still, but slowly I'm learning. It's taken me about 15 years. I'm now almost 32 and it's still hard to break these habits. ◗( ╱ ▴ ╲)◖
It really is! Good on you for continuing that journey, despite the pain and struggles. I’m also 32 and I only really started to get confident when I was 27 and the last couple of years it’s greatly expanded to the point where I’m of the mindset that if someone wants a place in my life they have to WORK for it and as soon as I sniff out bullshit I’M OUT
Haha omg I'm meeting so many fellow 30 year olds!! Yesss! We band together. Notice how it's us that are understanding of these situations instead of criticizing the work.
Many people in the comments be hating on it and just find it annoying. Granted, I find it frustrating, but I understand where they're coming from.
Right! I feel like I changed too of started my journey of change at 27 or so! It's so hard.
But it's also me learning not to beg people to stay I'm my life.
It’s so easy to pass judgement on others especially when you’re younger and haven’t experienced these types of situations. It makes me cringe to no end to see how I used to viciously judge people in the past thank god we grew up and have worked past that.
That’s awesome you’ve been able to find power in your journey too! I feel like our 30s are exactly what we thought our 20s would be except this time around we have the confidence and adult money to really pull off what we want in life
I get that Jaehyuk deserves to get his ass beat down by karma BUT CAN’T THEY JUST HAVE A DAY TO BE HAPPY?? Y’all too caught up in the schadenfreude of Jaehyuk getting his comeuppance and not realizing that these karmic events are extremely stressful and traumatizing for Garam. He doesn’t deserve to constantly be drug thru that
I liked the part where they didn’t resolve anything and we didn’t even get to see the characters talk about the real issues
I think I need to actually go outside and touch grass now…
