Was just thinking how MC was a total creep and loser- he became a teacher to be fawned over by teenage girls, he revolves his self worth over how dateable teenage girls find him, dude was a walking future statutory charge. Not saying this justifies him being assaulted, but in the fictional world I definitely care infinitely less about him knowing this cliche blackmail plot is taking the place of “how hot minors find me” as his number 1 priority.
If black hair is the uke… I want a real dominant bottom. Not one who acts dominant in the relationship then turns into a blushing kitten during sex, or take charge for .2 seconds then it’s all aggression from the top. Happens waaay too often in stories labeled “dominant bottom”. So far the only one to do it right is pizza delivery guy. Please let this be more like that.
Need extras. Is it just a fuck buddy thing for 2 weeks? Would love for uke to learn his ex cheated on him. He needs to get away from that family they’re both horrible people (though I have slight sympathy for how seme turned out, what chance at being a good person did he have with a mom like that). This feels very incomplete. Lot of loose threads and no good reposition. Wouldn’t mind a spin-off with uke as MC learning to respect himself.
FL has all the personality of a wet blanket. She makes what should be a spicy story so boring, doesn’t help that she’s also incredibly dumb.
Usually I really appreciate facial hair in yaoi since it’s so rare, especially on the uke. But the artist really went out of their way to make it look like chopped pubes glued to a chin.
(Also don’t like how wish-washy the uke is, or how he threatened to cheat.)
Are beastman real in this universe, or is that beast form now the ML sees himself. He’s a furry and that’s his inner fursona? Bc if the latter, that’s hilarious and I love it. Actually want more semes who are normal and successful on the outside, but actually closeted weirdo losers on the inside . Coupled with their tolerant, competent uke. It’s a funny dynamic.
The seme is just canonically bad at sex and the uke just learned to endure. Don’t love that for him. This is also a scenario where one of the characters wants to switch, like genuinely would love to top the seme. And they just… dont? For no reason other than the weird strict “top and bottom” BL rules that exist for some reason. And still don’t like the seme. Likely never will. His inability to be considerate in bed and just constantly wallowing in his own self-pity is annoying. He only considers his own pleasure during sex and it shows deep down what a selfish and self serving person he is.
I will NEVER understand the yaoi trend of making the victim, the person who was tortured and raped, be the one to chase after and comfort their abuser bc it’s revealed the abuser has a sad backstory. The backstory wasn’t even bad enough or in no way explained why this man suddenly thought “guess I’ll drug and rape my childhood crush”. There was 0 redemption, 0 effort from the seme to actually earn forgiveness. He just gets it gift wrapped to him. If the rape was going to be so easily glossed and gotten over, it didn’t need to be there. Seme could have just confined him while still giving him the omega drug, without rape. And NOTHING would change because the rape doesn’t impact how the uke feels about the seme at all (being in love with him after everything bc the author said so, not because it made sense). What a waste of time this was.
This one more than others really felt like a lot of development was missing when the sex scenes were cut. That’s because these sex scenes follow plot beats and character development. They have actual dialogue that is more than sex sounds. Going to pause on reading though and wait for it all to come out for a good binge session.
“Anyway, how’s your sex life?” - Woomin literally the day before to a man he barely knows and what he DOES know is that he hates touch and getting close to people. Doc has every right to avoid him. He’s no different from the creepy guys who hit on baristas at work.
Why is the author having everyone guilt trip the uke for not immediately trusting and relying on the man who raped him and doesn’t care if they’re caught fucking in front of his daughter? Like, the author is painting the uke like he’s the one in the wrong. AND they had him fall for seme just… because? Bet anything the uke apologizes to seme. This is trash writing. I think this actually meets the definition of romanticized rape.
Read the raws and ML is just straight up insane. He tells MC he fell in love with him at first sight and that he’ll never let him go. He also genuinely does not seem to understand why MC hates him and would kill him if he could (dude is made of steel and tanked every blow MC dealt when he tried). This is definitely not going to have a happy ending. Likely MC’s friend dies (the friend is also crazy obsessed with MC) and MC just learns to cope with the ML.
Raws are up to chapter 17 and there hasn’t been much progress. MC definitely has hemroids now though. The dude in the tank top that was going to rape MC’s friend is now obsessed with raping MC. MC and Friend are plotting an escape, but I don’t see them getting far. ML likely has some kind of ability that lets him influence the zombies.
Gonna keep reading bc I really like the MC. Its rare to see the bottom physically fight back against their rapist and hold them accountable. Also seeing the MC not get hard when ML was thigh fucking him felt strangely refreshing. I like that the MC isn’t all “I hate him and don’t want this but… it feels so good *blushu*” can’t stand that trope… though I will say the scene of ML essentially over stimulating MC with bjs and handies until he was completely soaked was hot. Also looking forward to MC’s escape attempt and how ML reacts.
They managed to make the MC so unlikeable I don’t care what happens to him. Would honestly prefer instead of sex, the ML just absolutely ruin MC’s life and email the company the video and pics of him acting like a dog. Someone like MC should never have a good job again. Clearly he can’t handle the power.
So he at least somewhat understood his mother was abusing his wife and did nothing about it? He really thought he could get her love with money and the bare minimum. The only thing he did was not treat her like trash. Not like he went out of his way with the wooing. He just hoped time and proximity would have her falling into his arms. All the while leaving her to suffer at the hands of his mother. Hopefully the divorce is a wake up call to him. Only hope I have for the story rn is that FL let’s the mother in law have it.
The cheating with 0 repercussions aside… They really had a seme be a pedohile, self identify as one too, and treat it so casually? Like if the Uke didn’t still look like a juvenile seme never would have fallen for him.
Is this another victim falls in love with their abuser bc their abuser was maybe nice to them this one time if you squint story, the kind with no redemption? Bc if so I won’t bother picking up. It’s so common for the abuser to just be let off in these stories these days.
Spoilers letting me know ML gets away with everything and MC never finds out ML is lying to him and really is the monster from his past life. It really bothers me when authors set up the most toxic, evil ML to triumph against the MC. Like what’s the point of us following the MC then? What’s the point of the story, evil always wins?
I’m so tired of the “killing a mass murderer is bad” trope so many stories push. Like I get her not wanting to be a murderer BUT. He kills people all the time for pleasure, it’s implied he killed her friend. Letting him go means he’s going to continue to kill and continue to take enjoyment from it. I know it’s not fair but from here on out I place a little blame on the FL for every single victim he kills. She had the opportunity to stop him but chose her “moral high ground” over the lives of likely hundreds, if not thousands.
There is no redeeming this ML. The only happy ending is ML wallowing in misery and MC living off by himself and never taking ML back… but we all know that won’t happen.
Can someone please comment when the seme gets his comeuppance, or a chasing arc begins, alternatively if the uke just forgives the seme for how horribly he’s been treated bc he randomly starts being almost nice (what usually happens). Because if the latter happens I won’t see the point of picking this back up. So far it’s just the uke suffering for suffering’s sake.
