IM LITERALLYYYYYYYY GOING CRAZY. THEY WERE ALREADY KIND OF A THING DURING THE CULTURAL FESTIVAL???? RAHHHHHHHHH
NOT ME JUST CASUALLY CHECKING TO REREAD FROM CHAPTER 1 AGAIN JUST TO SEE THERES AN UPDATE OMGGG. LIFEEE IS WORTHHHH LIVINNNN
Wait babe, this already ended? I thought it had novel—and usually those are long. Wow :O
Even the novel is on the shorter side.
Imma let this marinate for THREE years. See ya guys (i cant handle angst, and i can feel that there will be one)
Farewell, fellow soldier. I'll see you on the other side.
SEEING THE RECENT CHAPTER MADE ME ALMOST SOB LIKE HSUSHSUSHSHS THATS EXACTLY HOW I PICTURED IT IN THE NOVEL SHISHSBSJAHSHS
I miss my baby so much (dokja). It’s been so long since I last read ORV huhu (I wasn’t able to finish it in novel, I last read it at chapter 395). I want to continue it but I forgot some parts already huhuhu
Does any of yall have an explanation as to why codename anastasia’s rape is worst, but it’s somehow better than jinx or potn? Cause like, idk if it’s just me but i do not like potn nor jinx, i may even go as far as say i hate those manhwas. But codename anastasia is… not that bad to me (ive read parts of its novel). Or am I just embodying hypocrisy?
Fr though, I've read worse than this. And also the novel doesn't have alot of smut compared to jinx and potn. Personally I like Zhenya's character, CNA have a good plot and it is well written. POTN is good too, but Jinx? Uh I can say it's overhyped? But the plot is kinda mid.
probably because it has a solid build up to it so its not even a surprise, it was more or less expected zhenya wouldn’t be above doing something like that. also potn and jinx’s bottom are both smaller people, so it feels more messed up to read
Thank youuu guys that makes sm sense T^T
If you delete all rape/sexual scenes from Codename Anastasia you're left with a solid plot of mafia, gangsters and mystery. But if you do that to Jinx or POTN, you're left with literally a kiss, a mid cliché plot, and maybe 2 or 3 chapter of romanticized abuse.
I also don't like rape, i don't support rape under any circumstances, but if you're gonna add that to a story, at least make it interesting with a strong character, a nice plot, or something like that (like Taekjoo or Leewon from Roses and Champgne) but in Jinx/POTN, the one who suffers is always acting like a child even tho it's a grown ass man and when they "fall in love" it has 0 character development, it's just a chapter when the poor bottom suffers or someone does something to him and then the top for some reason realizes he "loves" him and that's all. Boring.
AHHHHHHHHH yesyes!!!!! That makes it more solid!! I really like the plot of codename anastasia
Now this is what I'm talking about!! Very well said!
So relatable
Oh and something i forgot to ALSO mention is that there's a clichè manhwa plot where the top is all bad and shitty with the bottom until the bottom leaves and suddenly the top, as i mentioned before, realizes he "loves him" and the chasing arc begins.
Like, do authors even know how to write a decent chasing arc? A proper one? I know they really dont. It's always like that, and the bottom just forgives the top because he have been loving him since day 1, like... how can you fall in love with your abuser? Please
If you're gonna do a shitty top, al least don't fucking romanticize your story, make it a thriller, a horror, maybe something terrorific, but don't come at me with your +100 chapters of rape and then love out of nowhere just because.
what's potn?
Painter of the night
It’s kinda funny to me that I started reading this since I was a teen (5 years ago) and now I’m in the same situation as Hirano. Like, damn, being in the same spot as him—it really is difficult to know if you actually like the other person. I’m like hirano—I don’t like physical touch, I don’t know if I truly like that person in a romantic way; but i deeply care about that person. It’s been a year, and I still don’t know if I like her.. since i’m not very fond of physical contact and it’s one of her love languages. But I do know that I really like being by her side—but is this really romantic love? I don’t know!!! I’m still looking into it… haha, like, shit. Hirano, it really is difficult to determine how you really feel, huh? Especially when you really care about that person and you don’t want to hurt them TwT
In addition to this, i’ve never really been in a relationship and i’ve never loved someone romantically. So I don’t really know how it feels if I love someone in that way ausjgsismxbxjzmxnsiak
Omygod i had to comment, is that you Hirano?! I am rooting for the both of you tho! I hope ppl would see this more that it is in fact a realistic experience cuz I see some people frustrated over Hirano. I think media is something to blame for making romance or relationships molded into some fixed standard appealing to the majority. Since youre not rlly asking for advice I just hope there’s more representation of love that isn’t grand gestures. Ive been in a situation where I was told by my friends the person I was with did not love because they dont do “xyz” but every relationship comes in different forms. It’s up to the party what they agree with or not. Back then I wish I didnt listen to society’s standard of a romantic relationship. Good luck to you OP! Stay strong and listen to your heart
Thank you so much! Also, I totally agree— I saw some people getting frustrated with Hirano too and I was like <///3… it actually felt super realistic to me T.T. I really appreciate the kind words and the good luck!!
oh god i get u... im the same !! at first i felt a lot like kagi (bc i crave physical affection, but not romantically speaking... idk if i explained it good...) but then the more hirano talked abt his feelings i was like... yo... JAJDHAJS hopefully we get to find our answer! gl twin, love's different for everyone, and to be different doesn't mean a bad thing!
SHSJSHSH YES I GET UUU. Thank youu! Goodluck to us indeed <33
WAIT. on that “u crave physical affection but not romantically”, is it like the feeling of you don’t mind physical affection—in fact you like and crave it—as long as it’s not coming from romantic sense? Like, if it’s a friend, it’s fine and you like it? GDKSBDJS
ig it just means like, yea, i can hug and hold hands, but... other stuff... no. jdjfnfjixnd
Ohhhh i see i see TwT
