Get them into therapy or break up. They’re getting too toxic at this point and the emotional and mental abuse is literally starting to turn physical
I saved this one to read later then realized I had started it a while back so I picked it back up but after the second rape scene I remembered why I dropped it in the first place
The plot and dialogue is so over the place I felt like I was high
THE WAY THAT I SCREAMED WHEN IT ENDED ON A CLIFFHANGER woke up the cats then sent them fleeing out of the room
It’s honestly such a disappointment to see them pull out the “my partner is a sex worker so I want them to quit for my sake” trope. Like yes, hosts are NOT sex workers, but it’s like sex work adjacent so he’s got a lot of nerve which he even recognizes which makes his actions even worse. JUST LET SEX WORKERS DO THEIR JOBS WITHOUT WHITE KNIGHTING THEM
Not surprised at all of the folks looking down on sex workers in the comments, but I am happy to see how many are supporting and defending sex workers. Y’all are giving me hope in humanity
Although I do a different type of sex work, as a sex worker, it is really nice to see such thoughtful and respectful representation. Our work is so mentally, physically, and emotionally taxing so dealing with stigma on top of that can definitely become overwhelming. I’m glad there’s more and more stories like this being put out in the world so hopefully one day our work can become more accepted and less stigmatized
Damn. I really feel like they’re fucking over Taeju’s redemption arc by pulling borderline rape scenes out of nowhere. Did the chapter end cute? Yes. Was Taeju refusing to stop having sex despite being asked and then using that coerce his partner into making a massive life decision rape? Also yes. Still rooting for them, but that shit really felt like a step back into a toxic direction
No one let Ben Shapiro learn about how wet she gets, that WAP would literally blow his brain apart
Just wanna put this out there: a foot fetish is NOT a bad thing and it’s FAR more common than y’all might think for those of y’all feeling weird or guilty that you have one please kno that it’s normal and you have nothing to be ashamed about!
Every week I think this but ESPECIALLY this week with this chapter. I am WAY too single to be reading this
“I kno we’ve been safe cuz we’re in a secluded area and we’ve worked hard keeping a low profile BUT LET’S JUST GO BACK TO THE BELLY OF THE BEAST AND NULL ANS VOID EVERYTHING” fucking IDIOTS
WHAT IN THE GAY HELL IS HAPPENING WITH THESE UPLOADS? Reading the raws would make more sense than this nonsense. Gunna drop the manhwa for a few months until we get actual GOOD translations again
I’m VERY confused. Like y’all’s sex life has always been respectful but now it’s rage filled hate sex even tho they both want the same thing and they both kno how to have sex that’s enjoyable for both parties. Do we really need a conflict especially now that they’re literally both on the same page more so now than ever before??
Did NOT expect that to be the ending. I have very conflicting feelings def agree with y’all that it felt rushed at the eye stuff came out of nowhere. Damn. I’m gunna REALLY miss this series
I think a lot of folks are being too harsh on Seonwoo. These kinds of behaviors can’t just be turned off, this is how he’s survived and even then he’s been living in a fight or flight mode his whole life. Even trying your best with the addition of a supportive partner can’t fix this. He needs professional mental health help in order to make sustainable transformative change
Expecting him to do that on his own given his history and lack of mental health tools and resources is not only ignorant, but downright cruel. Y’all need to understand that he grew up with NO ONE it’s literally always been him against the world and the people who he did let in betrayed him. That’s trauma you can’t just heal with willpower and a good social circle. He needs help. He deserves help. And I pray that Taesoo sees this and stays with him through all of this
For those of y’all hating on Seonwoo I urge you to reflect on this post and try to start showing compassion to Seonwoo, even if you don’t like him. EVERYONE deserves healing
Was frowning SO HARD between chapters
69 and 70 that I’m gunna be seeking damages
from the author for Botox money lol
*re-reads ch 69 to prepare for new season*
WELL THAT WAS FUCKING TRAUMATIC
*reads chapter 70*
AND SOMEHOW THAT WAS EVEN WORSE
I want to read to y’all the different things that Chang-il says/thinks before they have sex: “since when did it matter what I want, I’ve never wanted it [sex]” “my ass is still sore, but I feel like I have to pay him back somehow”
Yona: “I was trying so hard to behave myself, I don’t want to treat you like those creeps”
Yona understood that by making advances he was placing himself in that same bracket as the two men who raped him for months (obviously he’s MILES better but he’s admits himself that he’s in the same bracket) a more appropriate response would have looked like “believe me, I want to be with you too but after everything you’ve been through it’s more important than ever for me to support you without being intimate and reaffirm your worth to help you understand that your value is so much more than what you can offer sexually”
I very much recognize that Yona is young, most likely doesn’t have the maturity or experience challenging himself to reframe like this. But I stop giving him a pass because he HIMSELF recognized that if he had sex with him then and there, it would lump him into that same category with the others. Because of that, I think we have every right to call him out for that
Also, I’m not dumb, I kno this is a fictional story and that I don’t have to read toxic BLs if I don’t want to and by continuing to read it’s my own doing for consuming media that’s disturbing to me. BUT ALSO, that doesn’t mean that I suddenly dont have right to criticize these characters. Just wanted to put that out before yall jump down my throat with the same comebacks you throw at everyone who doesn’t just gleefully accept the toxicity of this manhwa with open arms
