Did any of you understand the end of the 1st one (ch 4)? What was up with Kengo? I thought he was just some guy Kou was living with? It was Kei who got raped and disappeared, right? They (the rapists) were saying he's not Kou and to just pretend he's Kou. Why did Kengo slit Kou's throat? Also, Were they triplets? (/-_-)/
I forgot to put that in my OP, I'm going to add it since idk what that was about either! It all made no sense. Even if Kei hated Kou and they WERE triplets, why would Kengo hate Kou enough to slit his throat? What, did Kei conspire with Kengo and tell him about how Kou let him get raped? What, was Kengo's natural reaction to that to be willing to slit his throat? Too much missing info.
yeah that’s how I interpreted it too. But someone in the comments below brought up an interesting idea that Kou knew nothing about the rape since the beginning. And maybe it was actually kengo the doppelgänger who ignored the rape. So maybe the younger bro misunderstood all along. And if this was the case, it’d be even more twisted and messed up!
Like, to a T. One dream filled, cocky "leader" guy who gets killed by multiple goblins ganging up on him and ruthlessly slaughtering him? Check. Two female adventurers, one's even a mage, that get raped by the horde of goblins? (The rape isn't as graphic in this one though, it just shows the goblins tugging at their clothes) Check. Actual expert that sees everything the noobs did wrong? Check. Expert saves one girl, she also happens to be a priest? Check. Looks about as good as GS did.
But not in this one. Like I've said, I've read the novel so I know what I am writing.
I do know that rape was/is commonly used in novels, but not this one, and it's one of the reasons I keep reading, aside from the fact that the story is entertaining. I rather have them dying in awful ways than being violated.
I stopped reading plenty of novels (isekais and other genres) in my long 20 years of being an otaku. So I am aware of the trend. Thanks
Like the comment I've shared, there is a reason rape did not occur. At least not in this situation.
And no need to argue. I won't deny the similarities with GS (a story that I dislike and feels flat anyway, my opinion, not a fact), but the differences are what make me enjoy the story the most.
Huh, you seem pretty reasonable. Sorry i was bitchy, i was tired and bitchy when i responded. As far as what you said, are you saying that it is explicitly stated in the ln that they don't rape female captives? I think, given the genre, that the implication in this, the manga, was clearly that they were going to rape them. It was pretty explicitly implied when the goblins stared tearing at their clothes. Maybe they rape and THEN eat them? Eating humans is hardly a new concept either.
In the novel, they explicitly explained what happened to those fellows, and they were just eaten alive. And about raping female captives, they never deny it or confirm it, so we can say that people are assuming based on past stories that follow a certain pattern. I cannot say if its right.
For instance, in Tensei no Shittara no Slime Dattara Ken (the day I reincarnated as a Slime) novel, goblins there do not rape, they even have females in their own species. I think goblins are used mostly as a starting point in isekais stories/animes. But not all use the trend "we are evil, we rape women and kill men" kind of narrative.
But they were just eaten, simple like that and that will be explained in future chapters. And eating humans is not a new concept, I do agree, but expecting rape in every encounter with goblins is actually strange.
And I am indeed using the ln as evidence, but so far, the manga has been following everything. Like many other isekai mangas, is being loyal to the source material so far. If anything was/is different we'll know.
Thanks for answering patiently.
PS: English is not my first language if anything was misunderstood in my writing, I apologize in advance.
Lowkey sad he won't be able to mark him, but still looking forward to it. ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Can Heesoo get pregnant? Usually the betas can, yes?
what? no. male betas can't get pregnant. they're normal guys and have no womb.
https://aminoapps.com/c/homeoflove/page/blog/omegaverse-explained/8B85_Laphmu86ma78mEbY0wEExGGvmq8gBl
-A comparison of Betas to Alphas or Omegas is to say they are your basic human beings. Males are males, no knot, no obscene sizes no pheromones they can't conceive (Though not likely) no pheromones. Betas are not affected very much by pheromones, and are considered in society to be the normal humans They’re popular with employers because they’re submissive mostly and not territorial.-
but maybe this one is different..
I would like it if Heesoo could get pregnant though :)
It depends on the author. In this one http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/kashikomarimashita_destiny/mi/f934afad5dcaafc116852fb7793fd141_chapter-12.6/34/
Yeah they can. This is a page to show it.
I already read that before and I love it much that I everytime I read it there are tears rolling down my face. I really wanted to beat the bejesus out of Jirou when whe kept on push Aoi away (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Then when everything was settled Hijiri come along and trys to ruin everything for Miyauchi!!! (╬ ̄皿 ̄)
You guys are still talking like a good portion of the story didn't happen. I get it, Hyunwoo was a dick, but it showed why. He was and is in denial, this in addition to being afraid of committment. He was going to try being with Subin when Hyung and Subin got together, Hyung beat him to it. Then and up till now he's been just kinda dealing with the current state of affairs for years while being unable to forget Subin. Now he's leaving because he can't take it anymore. I get it if people still hate him regardless, but some of these comments look like they're from WAY back... "you ignored him and now that he has someone else you want him?", no, that's literally not it. He was conflicted about Subin even before he went to the military, this is a very long story with feelings that go way back. He was wanting to be with Subin literally as Hyung asked him to be with him, it wasn't something that happened after and it's not jealousy. It's heartbreak.
let's say he was conflicted about his feelings before he gone to the military, does not change the fact that 80% of the story was abusive to the MC. and only after the MC left him, he all of sudden remember he wants him.
even now he trying to kiss him while the MC dating someone else for TWO YEARS!! sorry he is still sulfish dick, dosn't matter if he love the MC (sorry I forgot his name XD) or not love him before it.
to me he didn't change even a little. what is saying something about him, and not a good thing.
You really don't think he changed since the beginning? I'd definitely argue that, objectively, he did. He'd started to look at all that psychological shit head-on, but before he got the chance Hyung asked Subin out. The denial was entirely more tangible in the beginning, now he's admitting he has feelings. It's not some flippant decision he made, it wasn't easy for him, there're YEARS of emotional backstory to this.
Because he IS a victim too? There can be more than one victim in a story. Yes, he did some really bad shit to Subin, but he was dealing with a LOT of psychological issues of his own. Hyunwoo is truly, genuinely just fucked up. It looked at the beginning like he's just an asshole, but he's actually just got a lot of baggage that makes him act like one sometimes. It was only because of Subin's YEARS of effort that Hyunwoo even started to feel like he should own up to all this. He simply wasn't ready for a relationship all those years and when he finally was he lost his chance to be with the only person that he views as outside all the shit in his head. He just said that he's actually scared of committment, he has a phobia, he's scared it won't ever work out because of all the experiences he's had. On top of this he's straight, but fell for a guy. He was super awkward about this to the point of intense denial and even ran away to the military over it. It's not like he likes guys in general now, so this thing he feels towards this guy friend of his is crazy to him.
and? what did he do with all "adimitting his feelings" shit? and he said himself that he still deny them everyday! how is that growing or changing? from what? he deny his feelings before and he still doing it now, only now he just won't try to move on at all saying he don't want serious thing and just have sex to run away, he run away from his feelings before and he still doing it now. and no, trying to kiss someone that have a boyfriend is not "adimiting his feelings" it just been selifsh and a prick, wait wasn't he a selfish prick from the start? here your go XD
he should have done it a mounth after he was rejected, but he choose to stay and keep his feelings to himself all those years and now when he is "leaving", "moving on" he try to kiss the MC. uh ah this is not count has moving on, sorry. his action's dosn't show he is moving on at all. like all the story, his action's always go aganist his shitty bullshit words.
and you seem to keep ignoring what I"m asking you: what development? is running away in a different way can be even count has "development"? then sorry it dosn't look like a "development" to me.
a different kind of running away only to come back and try to kiss the MC is not really a development, at least not to me.
a development is actually change things you do, change how you act, change how you feel, NOT RUNNING AWAY.
Its not that i was ignoring you, i just didnt think the development needed pointed out and didn't realize you were asking me a question. It sounded like you were making a statement. You know, "what development?" followed by you giving what you view as a lack of development. He's actually changed pretty obviously. So, development isn't subjective, it's objective. The character either changed or is the same. Can you tell me Hyunwoo would've kissed Subin while completely sober at the beginning of this manga? There was literally a whole thing where hw freaked out abiut his feelings for Subin to noona. At the start of the story Hyunwoo was entirely in denial, he wouldn't even entertain Subin's advances. He literally punched him at one point. He is actually acknowledging his feelings, he went to ask Subin to be with him and now he's repressing them again for Subin. He has been for 2 years now since Subin chose Hyung. Regardless of him repressing his feelings, he still loves Subin and since he's going to leave he kissed him. Is it inappropriate? Given their past, I'm not sure, i don't feel like outsiders would be able to make that decision. Subin could still choose Hyunwoo, he won't, but he could. That kiss was probably his last effort to get Subin to consider him and his goodbye to his feelings for Subin.
Also, he's not "running away", he's leaving because he's been rejected already. How is kissing Subin "running away" from his feelings? No, he was running away in the beginning when he was pretending his feelings don't exist. Now he's told Subin, Subin just chose Hyung instead. Him kissing him was basically the same as a 2nd confession, he literally told Subin he's tired of things the way they are and that he's leaving.
Development is very simple: the change in characterization of a dynamic character, who changes over the course of a narrative. (you can google it)
Yeas Hyunwoo will do whatever he wants with the MC, having sex with him, kiss him, dump him, curse him, abuse him. it all come down to what he wants and how selfish he is in that moment.
read it again. it's not that he didn't acknowle or know about his feelings, he know about them a long time, he just RUN away, but since he is selfish he agree to live with him in his own tearms.
and now in the new chapter it is the same. he is running away cause he STILL love him and doing things in his own tearms - kissing him cause he feel like doing it.
2 years of been the same has before - LOVING THE MC and rufuse to even admit he love him. only after one "dream" he finally admit "Oh yeas I love him".
"Is it inappropriate?" are you really asking this?! to kiss someone that have a fucking boyfriend?!!! YEAS IT IS!!! very inappropriate and very selfish! and yeas just cause the poor asshole Hyunwoo love the MC, it does not mean the MC need to agree to a kiss from him out of no where or to agree to get his ass back!
his effort is selfish, and a dick move knowing he have a boyfriend - but again Hyunwoo was always selfish and a dick. so I"m not really surpise, I hoped he change from been a selfish brat, but nope he still the same asshole.
So, the seme is acting slightly different now? He's being... playful? He was just being an asshole the first chapter, now he's being less serious during his asshole moments, I'm so confused with what the author is going for here. If he went to the trouble of blackmailing him, it doesn't make sense that they're only just now actually having sex, he also got annoyed when the uke asked why he should have to have sex with a guy he doesn't like and hesitated when the uke started to panic (though he didn't stop). He's sending mixed signals, does he love him or is he just playing with him? He even ditched that girl for him. Something else I've noticed is that the uke isn't acting as terrorized as i expected. There was that moment where the seme was hitting on him and he replied with "i don't want to do it here", as in, the PLACE is the issue rather than the sex. He even says "what am i saying" in his head because he's embarrassed or confused at what he said. Don't get me wrong, he is giving as much rejection as he needs to, but there are mixed signals here as well. It comes across like he might want the sex. During the sex scene he panicked because he thought he was disgusting for feeling good, then he was fine once the seme kept going and told him "It's not disgusting, it feels good".
Expect literally no originality, this is every "playboy asshole seme blackmails traumatized outed uke into rape" yaoi you've ever read. Not a single special thing about it, a carbon copy. This IS your grandparents' yaoi. At least the guys are hot. The seme is fury inducing and confusing. Is he literally saying the other guy was stupid because he didn't blackmail the uke right? As in, he's making light of what happened to the uke while mocking the guy who hurt the uke for not forcing the uke into sex like he's doing? I had thought he was trying to say he's better than that guy and cares for the uke for like .1 seconds, but then his flippant "be my sex friend or I'll tell everyone" one liner made me understand what was happening. He's disgusting scum. I honestly just wish the uke would switch schools again and report the rape so the fucker would be punished... the uke doesn't have any friends anyways... god knows that plothole is going to be ignored so the uke can be raped repeatedly... i hate watching things go the manipulative character's way, so frustrating.
I love this one, but Natsukawa really needs to make a move if he's sure about his feelings. It's already been established that Kazuhito is just waiting for him. That's why he keeps rejecting Natsukawa's advances, Natsukawa keeps trying to get HIM to do something. Though Kazuhito could make a move himself too, this whole "I'm just going to wait" mentality won't get him anywhere.
