I am really glad the tide is turning in the comments and most BL readers are being turned off by non-con. If we don't put our foot down and draw the line somewhere, pretty sure all 99 percent of the stories on the front page are gonna be non-con as the authors will hop on the bandwagon and assume rape is what most readers like. I don't want to be in that timeline. I hope people speak up.
Yes, we love toxicity. Yes, we love fucked up dynamics and fucked up characters doing fucked up things to each other. We like psycho characters like Dexter Morgan doing fucked up things - but he is written in an interesting way. But authors can show it in SO many ways. Why resort to boring ass mid rape scenes when we can have a delicious push-pull dynamic until the characters fall into bed together 'cause they can't control their lust for each other anymore?
I blame BL going super commercial in this webtoon age/BL drama age. Money before a good story. Like modern Hollywood with really bad scripts that sell well because the audience doesn't know any better. It's like these authors don't care about the intellectual level of their audience. Super insulting! And no, I am not going to shut up and find another story because all the promising stories are ending up like this because of this stupid non-con trend! I want that to stop, period, because I care what the next generation of readers are going to read. And they deserve better. They deserve MORE.
This is not an issue of Enzo not being a bottom. I was really looking forward to seeing him put his eggplant in Uno until my expectations went down the gutter with the puking. Forcing a large item into somebody's dry unstretched unlubricated asshole is so bland and boring.
"because I care what the next generation of readers are going to read"
Wow nice essay dude, love it!
Same thought, and there are ppl out there who downvote the comments calling out non-con/rape (and justified it as "He wAS A PsYChO") bc they are fetishizing in BL relationship. If that happened in GL or hetero it would have been a different story. I'm for good art but man this is depressing
They have moved on from dirty sex to love making dirty sex...now I just need them to switch once. I'll take Jake bottoming just once. He can top the other 99 percent of the time. At this point, I'll take what I can get. Author is freaking brilliant
Are there raws? If so, do they fuck in it because I really want to see Uno taking Lorenzo's eggplant
Nope, what you see here will always be the latest. The only way to read ahead is to buy the chapters so you can read it before they upload it on here 12 hours later
Lol, that's what I do I wake up with an alarm at 6am to buy it, then wait and come here to talk to everybody about the chapter
Oh okay. Thanks for the info
I just love their body language around each other. The author is soo good at conveying that slow spiral into lust and desire and love without making it mushy. ..ugh so good
Torn. As someone who has tried their hand at webtoon and purchased a digital tablet for it, it is fucking hard. The plotting, panelling, coloring, designing...people give less value to art and more value to STEM, which sucks. That's why I abandoned art and got a STEM job lol. Ngl, if I were her, I would be hurt and frustrated and literally vomiting that people are taking my livelihood away from me. I am seeing the author crash out emotionally, which I get. Obviously death threats ain't okay, but you know, as someone familiar with mental breakdowns, I give it a pass from my side. Other people may not give it a pass, that's entirely valid. But I know some folks feel like me.
I acknowledge that it's hypocritical to defend the author and to keep reading on this site. But honestly, I am sympathetic to her as a working adult tryna get by. Every cent matters and these platforms don't pay them that well.
The solution? The least we can do is to not flaunt mangago around on twitter and literally send screenshots of the pirated material to the author to trigger her. How dumb can people be? Can't everyone just read quietly? Why go ahead and hurt the author and everyone who relies on this site for their mental well-being (teens and adults who can't afford shit and uses manga as therapy)
I do thing it's good to have open convos about this. We should use these kinda opportunities to discuss the situation
she literally told people to kms she’s doing way too much
And we've stolen her entire livlihood. If someone stole all my money, I would've said/done so much worse. If we're gonna reas illegally, we need to do so quietly and not post it everywhere online
what do you mean we i don’t read this fuckass story and this author has literally harass an legal reader before do i really don’t care
If you don't care, why are you here?
girl i don’t care about what she has to say can what happened to critical reading comprehension ? you’re talking as if the people who read here were going to buy this story in the first place bruh i do agree that people shouldn’t put this site on display but this author is weird i mean just look at this story lol
I don't think the ppl here were ever gonna buy her work. That why I was saying we need to leave her alone and read quietly. Cause at the end of the day we're thieves stealing her livelihood.
As for the story itself, idk it's a pretty standard BL. There's nothing about this one that hasn't been done in 100s of other popular BLs.
The only ones stealing her livelihood are the management who's been underpaying but overworking her. She wouldn't even get money for her work if not for them promoters of her mid ass yaoi. It's so easy to attack the marginalized without even looking up.
Bruh, we are not marginalized for not buying gay porn. Let's be a little serious yea. And if you could add up the amount she'd get if everyone bought her work instead of reading illegally, she'd be rich! Yeah the management isn't great but we're also thieves.
It's okay, I understand you love to defend Euja's bad attitude. But think that you and me and not the only ones reading in this kind of way. Being marginalized doesn't just mean one thing. Marginalized are also those who live in a violently queerphobic country, and it impacts accessibility to queer media. It's always so easy to attack international fans when there are also a lot of Korean illegal readers. But have you seen Euja attacked any of them? No.
"Entire livelihood" when her series has been in the top 10-- even taking second place-- on Lezshit since it started.
She has over 1M followers and uses Twitter blue.
Not to mention she's harassed some of her biggest LEGAL readers over fanart to the point they deactivated and left socmed. She's also grossly racist towards LATAM and has openly admitted to turning a blind eye to illegal readers so long as they are Korean.
If she's truly struggling that bad then she should look over her contract with her publishers and work towards fixing their predatory pay-out rates for their artists.
I work a full-time manual labor job that doubles as customer service and I probably have a harder time making ends meet than she does LOL
You should get that boot out of your throat before you choke.
1M follower doesn't equate to any monetary value if all the 6 are illegal readers. Ans congrats at working full time job. That doesn't mean she isn't struggling. Your making all these accusations but I haven't seen one piece of evidence to validate any of it. And yeah she can go over her contract but you can also spend a couple dollars each week to suppoer her. But you choose to not to. That's fine, everyone here does the same. And if that's the case, we should leave her alone and read quietly. It's the least we can do.
Also, the entitlement you have is fuckin insane.
One of the artists I follow literally posted ss of her and YD saying these things. If YOU haven't seen the proof despite hundreds of accounts posting the translated ss that's on YOU. I don't even follow these artists on socmed and I've known just about every disgusting thing they've done WITH RECEIPTS over the years.
Also, entitlement?? Hun, I work my ass OFF to provide for myself and my disabled grandma LOL I don't even know the meaning of the damn word 'cause since I was born I've been tasked with taking care of others. It's only now that I'm an adult that I can finally afford myself some treats every now and then when funds permit.
If anything, it's insanely entitled to assume everyone can afford to spend more on a digital copy of something than they would the physical version of it. Just 'cause you've got the time and money to sink into buying something that could be taken away from you tomorrow doesn't mean everyone else does. I've experienced losing thousands of dollars and a decade+ of digital media 'cause of arbitrary distributors and companies selling their publishing rights to some other predatory corpo.
If you wanna take that risk with your money or time then good for you. Not everyone has that luxury or wants to pay for something twice if they want to own the physical versions when they release. YOU are the textbook definition of someone being entitled lol
Also, nice job ignoring the fact that I stated she's one of lezshit's top selling authors LOL
Even if she doesn't make much off engagement using her Twitter blue she can apparently afford despite "struggling so much" she's surely making more than she let's on from her online sales. And if she isn't then that's between her and her contract with lezshit.
Girl. Just shut up and read your gay porn quietly okay.
Girl, read your mid ass yaoi gay porn quietly.
Nice deflection there lol
Just admit that you were wrong or at least misinformed on this subject. There's literally no shame in admitting to not knowing the full context on something and jumping the gun on it.
I do it all the time. Free yourself from your pride and you'll be much happier for it lol
That's what ive been doing
I'm not wrong. I stand by everything I said. If you want to continue being entitled and come up with excuses on why it's okay to read illegally and why the authors a "bitch" for getting mad. That's all you lol.
And yet, here you are.
No one's saying it's okay to read illegaly, are you stupid? So all this time we are arguing to someone to doesn't really understand shit? Damn okay. The people are calling out the author because she exhibits behavior that are way over the line. Two sentences can co-exist by the way. It is bad to read illegally but it is also bad to harass people like that.
Bicth are your fucking dense. I mean clearly you are. I'm saying that we shouldn't police what she says or how she feels because we are illegal readers. We have absolutely no right when we continue to cause her the most harm. And if we are going to to continue to read illegally, we should do so quietly and leave her alone. That's been my point the entire fucking time, but you all want to play victim so fucking bad omg. How many time do I have to repeat myself before you get through that fuckass brain of yours lmaooo
What do you think I mean by read quietly? Did you think I mean don't start arguments in the comment section or are you dumb as fucking rocks? Clearly it's the rocks, since ive clearly meant not to go Twitter and post illegal tra stations/ interact with the author. If you can't understand the most basic part of my argument, you can fuck right off lmaooo
You're so pissed off, it's so funny HDHAHAHAHAHAHA Is it fun defending someone who's been doing nothing but harass both illegal and legal readers? Especially non-korean readers? I wonder.
Bruh, i just realized you've been following for at least three diffenr threads now. And you saying im dickriding? You can't get enough of mine. Anywho, im done with this now. If you don't get my point it's beyond me
Replying to above: Don't be so full of yourself. I'm replying to every thread I see. You have a crush on me or something? Why are you following all of my moves? I am touched.
This Nalu just blocked me, she must really love me.
There's "getting mad" and being racist and fantasizing about murdering people whether they read legally or not LOL of you just go on twitter for 5 minutes you'll see people posting proof of her and several other Korean authors being heinously racist towards LATAM.
And do you even know the meaning of that damn word? I don't make it a habit to assume someone's first language is English online, but I'm starting to think you're just tossing big words around like a pseudo-intellectual. Entitlement would require me to feel like it's my god given right to read things illegally instead of just doing it 'cause I can't afford to pay twice for something 'cause I'm taking care of my disabled grandmother and I've got to prioritize.
And I'll even 1 up you by saying I even buy official merch to offset the fact that I don't buy digital copies of things. I've amassed a pretty decent collection of acrylic standees, prints, keychains and even folders that I bought directly from the licensed merchandisers.
So tell me, who exactly is being entitled here?? Me who does their best to go above and beyond to support my fave artists even if I don't buy digital chapters or you who keeps blatantly ignoring the facts I am laying before you just 'cause you feel morally superior for some odd reason.
I never once said im morally superior. If your not entitled, good for you. But there are plenty of ppl who are.
The artist of this manhwa has also worked on Her Shimcheong, which is a GL (best GL imo). No wonder the art style seemed so familiar
I am happy we are getting uncensored penises in the official translation, but the penises looked waay better and juicier/shinier in the unofficial translation. The well drawn dicks really added to the story (not even joking). The title, the font and the sound effects were much better too. I am definitely gonna miss that.
However, I am grateful someone is translating and decensoring it officially and the author is able to make money off of that.
i just checked and you're right lol why does the unofficial look so much better
I should have let this marinate
Also, this is lowkey fulfilling my SasuNaru dream in a korean AU where Sasuke is a crybaby
why did this make me so happy to read!?!?? AHAHAHAHAH
this is ABSOLUTELY naruto fanfic hehe
GOD this author is a masterclass at balancing comedic timing with the feels. THE ART IS UNREAL.
