I don't mind slow burns IF both the parties are simultaneously being slow about their feelings. It just becomes torturous when one party clearly has feelings while the other doesn't. I hope we see Taegun being jealous and all if he is still doubting if his feelings are romantic or not. I hope 56 chapters of Eunsung yearning doesn't just abruptly end without any yearning from Taegun's end. That would be a hella boring conclusion to all that slow born.
Wow, that parallel world last panel. The zooming out of the TV. Another way to rub it in our faces huh... This is just a alternate reality and you shouldn't forget that.
This dynamic is like dime a dozen in yaoi, but it's usually the bottom being indecisive and not the top and yet people are so sympathetic towards the bottom, lol but people are being ruthless af towards Yungeun. It's not like the dude didn't make his stance clear about the relationship in the first place. He never once strung the MC around by saying he will date him.
Anyway, this is why I hate when MCs are so casual about sex and start with sex in the relationship. Things become complicated for no reason and because they see sex so casually, it's hard for them to pinpoint what they want in a relationship, it's annoying. I also would love to see Kyuho top, ngl. It's so boring how 90% of the time it's twinks bottoming and hunks topping. Gay relationships are gay for a reason and don't need to follow any heteronormative standards. C'mon, break the tropes a little please.
Tbf yes ml was clear on his stance about no relationships during the first season but he did also end up saying to mc how he was HIS "special person" without even telling him that to him, that's what he called close friends or people that understood him. Mc did try to distance himself from ml knowing that they'd just clash especially with his feelings for him, but ml still tried to be with him and stuff before even realizing he had feelings for mc. The mc avoided, distanced, and even put his mind out to ml but the ml was still being narcissistic and shit towards him (and he didn't even realize he had feelings for mc yet) which is why I genuinely get why people are shitting on ml. Other than that I absolutely agree with you
Of all the things to complain about this series, people shitting on Shizuno for not being comfortable enough to be out as a gay man has to be THE silliest of the complaints. He lives in a conservative country, it's not easy to just come out publicly, it's not something everyone can do. Coming out is not a walk in the park, it's not something every queer person is able to achieve. Shizuno makes sure that his feelings are expressed through his actions rather than his words, which Kiumi himself doesn't seem to mind at all.
The ending seems rather abrupt though. I don't know, it just doesn't feel like "THE END" at all. It feels the author just gave up halfway through because they had to work on pink heart jam, which is their more popular work. Really a shame because despite the popularity, I don't enjoy that series as much as I did "Sex Drop."
That's such an awkward way to end a long running series, tbh. Kinda doesn't give the feeling of an "ending." The ML being nowhere to be seen by the end kinda feels weird.
Tbf this isant how payback ended. There should still be another side story called paid payback so
"Didn't they jerk each other off" literally does not disapprove how he started dry humping the MC without his FUCKING CONSENT. That is still assault. Even if it isn't acknowledged in the moment. Woori is a piece of shit and it's fine if yall like him, but acknowledge his faults at the least.
I think Yaoi should stop adding random SA plot-lines if they aren't even going to handle it properly. Authors insert that shit just to gloss over it like some very minor inconvenience like wow. What the fuck was the point even?
Chapter 10 is SO weird because if the goal was to make Ren reject the manager, why even show him "accepting" the manager? He has been shown to have moved on from the manager so that moment of vulnerability seems really unnecessary in this stage of their relationship.
I also think the SA is unnecessary but I think the "accepting" scene made sense. When you're in a state where you can't make a choice between silence and passion, I think it's hard to make a conscious decision, hence why he took the time to process. Makes a lot of sense
God I hate these tropes. I get it if it was just a processing state when that groomer went close to kiss him, and then he pushed that groomer away. But then he stayed with him, just to think?
Alright man. Also why did they book an Inn again? I don’t feel like re reading, got a migraine.
I’m having a hard time understanding why he stayed with the groomer at an Inn, just for him to realize so quickly. Uuugh I think it just felt rushed so I was confused when he just decided to go to Hayato after it seemed like he accepted that Groomer.
The pace annoys me but it’s okay….
And like OP said, it also doesn’t make sense that he expected Hayato to come for him…like what. I think it’s inconsistent writing or bad writing but that’s just my opinion and maybe my poor brain.
But to him it was his confidant, he didn't know it was a groomer/didn't think the guy would be
Honestly what victim would realize yet
The ML is a shitty asshole but Woori is a creepy ass pushy bastard like damn. Luring in someone in the guise of being a friend and manipulating them into a sexual situation is weird and creepy as fuck. He is honestly a gross mfer. I do not get the hype about him at all. Just because the ML is shitty doesn't mean the third wheel is a good option automatically. This chapter pissed me off because the MC clearly has not show any romantic interest in him and he still pushed a sexual situation with him.
Did they literally not jerk each other off?
This has gotten so messy, wowww. But I still like because neither of the MC seem to have any issue with whatever the other does because of how down bad they are for each other. I still wish Wonwoo would go to therapy instead of coping everything through sex.
I am so sad this one never got any side stories. Definitely one of my favorite BWAT works. Calion dying was disappointing because I would've loved to see him live and witness Theo and Seth's happy life together. Anyway, if they really wanted more children, they could've just used the Shira again. I know it's rare, but shouldn't be that difficult for them acquire.
