i'm only on chapter eight but i have to get this off my chest or i'll explode. YOU GUYS. DO YOU SEE THAT ART. do you see those angles, those perspectives??? the linework, the colors, the composition of each panel???? THE STORYBOARDING????? IT'S NUTS. I'M GOING INSANE. I CAN'T STOP GEEKING AT THE ART. OH MEIN GOTT. i'm by no means a professional artist but this has one of THE best storyboarding i've ever seen among BL manhwas. it's just TEWWWWWW good!!!!
every once in a while i would remember this manhwa and get mad at the amount of hours i spent on this that i could never get back. idc that the "ending makes the most sense" or that "you could see it coming" because Junseo had the best chemistry with jaewon PERIOD.
whatever. life goes on. but i'm getting you out of there, junseo. you deserved BETTER!
we might be twins coz I literally feel the same way. Whenever I stumble this manhwa, I sigh. So much potential lost :(
I wasted 2 hours on this giggling and kicking my feet for mc and junseo moments just for that ending to slap me in the face, I literally did not feel a single drop of happiness for them I couldn’t even think that they were cute like I did at the beginning, just an empty feeling, might sound dramatic but I was so invested and now I’m mad, disappointed and sad
i actually ship haegyung with kihoon... like the main couple is just not giving me butterflies, probably cuz i have several problems with woojin's character. normally i would enjoy reading about obsessive and possessive semes, but not this one.
kihoon though /twirls hair/ i feel like he's developing feelings for haegyung (see: chapters 41-42) but even if that wasn't the case, i enjoy their dynamic better and i'm delusional enough to keep imagining an ending where they're the endgame.
other than that i have no strong feelings towards this manhwa, but the art is really good. i hope the author is steadily recovering and prioritizing their health. please don't pressure them to update.
literally!!! i personally dont like the male lead at all tbh kihoon is just way better!! im also having these same delusions hahaha
oh my, thank god i'm not alone with my kihoon endgame agenda IJBOL
SPOILER, RANT
the story was going so well until that damn arc with muyeong's "best friend" happened. i understand to be concerned for your best friend but i feel like it should not get to the point where you abandon your boyfriend every time your best friend calls for you, no? muyeong was also doing this, btw, while being completely aware that his best friend was in love with him. that's too much. if i were seonho, i would've ended the relationship right then and there, but he didn't because he's a buffoon. ugh honestly and the fact that muyeong did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to at least make up for what he did, left a really bad taste in my mouth. i hate it i HAAAAAATE IT!!!!!!!!!
fr i love this series but bro i wished muyeong chased him or smt, like that was so silly and it was the top that reached out and apologized to him first when he wasn’t even at fault
Fr. If i were Seonho i should've leave and move an apartment. That's so f*cking frustrating that the bestfriend is much important than you the boyfriend. Also the misundertstanding is a drag and then the author didn't even give us a better confession scene to compensate.
why are y'all getting mad at porn... for being porn... this is obviously fetish content for people to jerk off to? it neither has the morals nor the literary value that y'all are looking for because it's NOT meant to be moral NOR valuable in the first place
“who would even think of this?” i hate to be the bearer of bad news but people have rape fetishes, monica. they're intrusive thoughts. god forbid a woman has libido and decides to act on it.
and before y'all hit me with the quadruple "fetishize, normalize, romanticize, sexualize" combo, jsyk that in real life, men and the patriarchy are the main perpetrators of rape. i assure you, yaoi manhwas have NOTHING to do with rape culture (this is a legitimate sociological term in case y'all think i'm making shit up).
i'm not justifying rape (Christ, i'd NEVER)!! and i'm not saying that you aren't allowed to be uncomfortable either, but a some of y'all are straight up barking up the wrong tree.
Most people understand fetish content but rape isn't cute or should glorified as simple a fetish. You can have the same stuck in a wall, doctor, public human fleshlight without non consent. Morally dubious plots exist and are good but it would've been as simple as adding a line of "It was in your contract" or somthing similar to not make it a rape story.
I agree with you to an extent. I think it is okay to say the plot could be better or criticize the fact that it is a strange fantasy, but you are right in the regard that people who complain about the story by saying it’s rape literally are doing it to themselves. All the chapters have trigger warnings yet people read it and still say “omg this was traumatizing, there is no consent what is this”. Like girl it said it in the chapter.
Personally not my cup of tea for a story, but the characters were visually attractive.
you can't make every story adhere to morality, sadly, if that's what you're hoping. people are going to keep having their strange fantasies. while you have every right to think it disgusting, maybe, juuuust maybe, you weren't the target audience for it.
oof i wrote that post at the heat of the moment. saw way too many comments going “writing about dark and immoral things = bad person with no morals” and the separate-fiction-from-reality wire in my brain just kind of snapped.
just to clarify, i'm not against the criticisms being thrown at this story BUT i believe braindead fap materials should not be held to the same set of standards (moral, technical, or otherwise) as that of a romance story.
and yes, that, too. sumth sumth what are YOU doing at the devil's sacrament. don't like it, just drop it.
...
sorry, i have to disagree. the art's pretty ugly. (runs away)
BESTIE NAOUR THE ART IS CUTE??
I get its not my cup of tea, I usually read much longer stories like dear door, Stage of the Dark Souls, or Perfect Body. I appreciate your respectful response, thank you.
In my opinion
The art is kind off mixed between ugly and attractive
Bonus the uncensored
