I love how this didn't turn out cliché.
Like, in these stories where one party approached the other under false pretenses there's usually this scene where the deceived realizes what's been going on. Then a confrontation with the deceiver where they cut off ties.
Finally we see the deceiver trying to prove themselves to earn forgiveness and the couple gets back together.
I like that this story didn't take that predictable route and they have such great chemistry in a very down-to-earth kinda way.
I love it!

I don't really ship her with anyone, tbh...
I'd rather she just lived a happy, peaceful life with her brother and (majestic) boss
You got that right! True, all these guys are hottie, but she's way outta their league and most importantly, she needs no man.
Same, reading this ready makes me want her to be truly happy. Not sure bout you guys but reading this honestly makes me say "Awwwwww"(▰˘◡˘▰)
The last chapter was the BEST!!
Gosh, I'm dead.
The "I guess you're gay." - "I guess so." and "he can open any jar, no matter how tough." got me cracking up so bad!
ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Reading the description I totally thought it would be another rapey manga, but it wasn't!
It was cute and wholesome and 100% consensual. We stan that!
Man, I had to drop this after the first 2 chapters...
Like, why did the ML have to scare the FL like that in the hotel?
If he was worried about what she was doing he could've TALKED to her about it. Instead he chose to do the exact same thing as the dude, he was saving her from, tried to do.
Even if he didn't go through with it or go all the way, it was still waaaaay over the line.
If I was the FL I would've been just as scared of shige as of toda. Geez...
But manga logic dictates that because he never "really raped her" (just sexually harassed her, forced her to show herself naked, forced her to kiss him, and made her think he would rape her) then everything is fine and they can fall in love np.
*Sigh*...
My only complaint is that they didn't discuss limits before they began playing.
Otherwise it was freaking perfect! Consent, safe words and aftercare? Yes, please!
Finally an author who understands what BDSM is about - TRUST, not force.
ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Man, this chapter made me both laugh and cry. God, it's good writing.
So...
Team Edward or team Jacob?
(▰˘◡˘▰) lol
Team Lucas all the way!! ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
The wolf wins this time
Man, I wanted to like this story but... I just really couldn't.
If it had started at the part where the seme explained about the playroom and how they were going to play, it would've been a really cool story, but alas that was not how it went.
There were too many things in this story that made me really uncomfortable. Not the SM play (it wasn't 100% to my taste, but not bad) but everything around it.
1. Consent under the influence is not consent. You should NEVER do BDSM while under the influence. It's simply not safe.
2. If you haven't established a safeword, any variation of "no" or "stop" should be heeded.
Otherwise it's just rape, or could quickly turn into it.
That these two never seemed to establish a safe word, and the seme didn't stop when the uke said no, made me SO uncomfortable.
3. They didn't talk about safety and limits before they began playing, so imo their first play was waaaaay too hardcore for a sub that had never tried BDSM before.
Big yikes.
BDSM is fun but don't do it like they did. Play safe, kids.
Sorry , I clicked the dislike button wrong , I agree with you , I wanted to try bdsm as a sub but now I'm having doubts , I'm scared to get a dom like that , it's scary to think that it went straight to hard core on the first try
If my first would be like that , I think I'll have more doubts and will have a hard time wanting to do it again
Well, bdsm has a tendency to be misrepresented in fiction.
Most of us do it with a romantic partner, whom we love and trust, not a total stranger.
There are people who meet via bdsm forums, sex clubs etc, but that's the minority and more hardcore players.
Diving into bdsm can be nerve-wracking, but a lot of fun. You just need to have a partner you trust and a TON of communication.
Always talk it through before you begin, to figure out each others tastes, limits, and expectations.
You can also experiment with a few things outside the bedroom to get more comfortable.
Like spanking, to gauge your pain-threshold; Bondage to learn the technique and what feels right or too tight; trying out toys, blindfolds etc just to get familiar with them.
BDSM is all about safety, exactly for the reasons you mentioned.
Remember: if one party is not enjoying a sexual experience and/or can't stop the experience, then it's not it's not BDSM, it's just rape.
If you have a partner and want to try delving into the world of BDSM, there are a ton of articles on the Internet describing safe practice, recommendations for beginners, and lists/questionnaires you can fill out together.
Even if your fantasies might be hardcore, reality can be quite different, so there is no harm done in starting out light.
It's easier to amp up the intensity if the play is too soft, than it is to reign it back in when you've gone too far.
Hope my answer is of use to you.
Thank you , it's very informative. I'll reflect on that
