if youre on some tweaker shit and unmedicated, think twice before reading this, the beginning 20 or so chapters of this is like, one of the most genuinely realistic/triggering/well written things i have EVER read, i know for a fact the author is on some antipsychotics for sure, and now i gotta call my damn pharmacist </3
im seeing all the comments ab tabin, and im only on chapter 13 or so, so im more worried that this webtoon will completely ruin itself for me and somehow have chan turn from being fully gay to being bi and liking sami...
if it does this i will lose all hope, and not bc i want it to be bl or whatever, but because thats part of his character, part of him is that he liked the black haired dude, and if he just randomly starts liking sami and acts as a rival to his previous crush, itll just be like in gooner mangas (harem), where a girl completely switches from being in love with one guy to being in love with the protagonist because what, because hes strong? so lame, they better not do some stupid shit like that in this manga, because i really like it
im trying my best to enjoy this manga, but the whole time im on edge because im like 70 percent certain theyll pull this bullshit out and it will really ruin it for me
I WAS GONNA COMMENT SOME STUPID SHIT LIKE "geeked vs locked in..." BC OF THE COVER, BUT THE MOMENT I CLICK ON THIS I SEE "NON NON NON NON NON" AND "other manga by this author.... SADISTIC BEAUTY"??? OH NAH YOU GOT THIS TWISTED...
Any two faced ML’s? Like they act nice in front of others but are rude/indifferent/douchey to the MC (like the dynamic in skip beat). It can be any genre or setting with romance plspls tysm
was 130 the final chapter? thank god ive been waiting for this its finally done, and ill hear no more news of it,, this rotten husk of a story.
be so serious... just because theyre pg doesnt mean this isn't major league wrong... does everyone know the original meaning of the term grooming???
not only is it super predatory age-wise, its also super predatory as a fan-idol parasocial relationship. I literally refuse to accept any rebuttal that starts with "its fiction" or "its a story", as thats just a dismissal of what stories do in our society.
Stories reflect the authors worldview and inform readers on how the world ought to be. Should children be getting groomed by adults? Is it ok just because the leading romantic partner is cute or hot or silly? Or because it seems like he simply doesnt know any better? Is it okay just because the protagonist is getting what she wants?
The story also spins a narrative where adults cannot normally tell that someone underage is a minor. Most adults can tell if someone is simply under the age of 22. This could be overlooked, but the story is targeted towards young girls like the main character, who may inadvertently take these messages to heart, and put themselves in harms way. This could be refuted by saying "oh well, when i was a kid i wasnt influenced by what i read or watched", which first of all is not true even if it wasnt obvious, and second of all how can you guarantee that your classmates or friends are not influenced by what they consume as well?
The book is LITERALLY grooming young girls, and the amount of people pointing it out is absolutely not an issue of only targeting this book because of the ml, this book gets more attention and stands out most because it presents itself as the most innocent, and has a more compelling hook to it.
Things like their "age gap" and social issues could all be written off "because its a story, its fiction", only if it were being targeted towards adults with the right genre being applied (IT IS NOT OK FOR ADULTS TO BE READING THIS EITHER UNLESS A MAJOR TONE CHANGE WAS MADE). If the story actually took its audience to heart.
When i was around 12-14 i remember actively searching for manga just like this. Literally looking up "age gap" and "wrestler", LITERALLY i was the target audience, and im sure if i had found it when i was searching, i would have put it at the top of my list of favorites. Theres a lot of manga I put there that when I look back at them now, i feel a lot of pain, because they were absolutely unacceptable to be reading, period. I dont want young me reading this shit, and just because I wouldnt go searching for it now, does absolutely not mean it was okay for me to be searching for it when i was the target audience.
Its not just not ok for kids, its a dangerous mindset for adults to have too, that reading this is ok. And im not even that sensitive ab these things fr, i read anything
