Even ignoring the romance, so much of the conversations about values and gender resonated with me so deeply. Youth is such a painful time in all aspects and the social part makes it all much too complicated…
People complain about the ending being rushed but I’m not mad. It was a little glimpse into the future and even if we don’t know exactly how it played out, I think it fits. Taichi values Touma Ambiguously; it is shown even in the beginning when he blushes around him. The way to keep him close while he was dating Futaba was to stay friends because his affection surpassed romance but I think evolved once he was single. It’s happened to me and it’s not malicious.
Masumi ending up with a man didn’t feel like erasure to me either. I might be biased since I am bisexual myself, but I saw it as she couldn’t love her boyfriend because she loved Futaba. Not that she couldn’t love a man. Mami’s commentary on what being a woman in society and Masumi’s reaction to the conversation also made it clear that her shown distaste for men was mostly from her position as a ‘vulnerable’ woman. Her bisexuality at the end did not irk me for these reasons.
I think it is a valuable read.
This was a fucking terrifying read. Like the adrenaline was horrible. Why are we trying to sympathize with a brutal rapist and cruel murderer? This is shit is so wild
bruh stop reading it if it makes u scared
You know you have the option to stop reading, right?
Lmao, I'll say this again and again but y'all know that pthers can still read or watch something even if it makes them pee their pants right? It's the same thing as watching a horror or thriller film.
Base on these replies, i can basically tell what type of person y'all are if you can't comprehend this basic af concept.
It's one thing watching something despite being scared/terrified of it and another thing if you're claiming you HATE something and still watching it. What good does it do them or us that they're filling the comments with hate instead of just appreciating how well written the story is that it's literally making them feel strong feelings.
Besides, the op is the one who's like "erm why are we trying to sympathize with the bad man
fr (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Seriously? That's what you're trying to defend? Lmao, you make me laugh. It really doesn't matter if there's a difference from the two (which i don't see any, but you might claim i am blind, which my answer will be yes. I am turning blind for this one chad.)
"What does it do them that they're filling the comment with hate"
1. To share their opinion and insight of what they've read.
2. To atleast soread awareness to other readers of what they're getting to and
3. To atleast shit on the author for ACTUALLY creating an abomination of a manwha. That's what does it for them.
Now, lastly, "why are we trying to sympathize with the bad man?" Lmao, out of all the things you could've pointed out from the Op's comment was this? Seriously, how filthy is your mind to have that not already figured out? Other's have every right to question as to why every other readers are sympathizing the grapist who are forgetting what he did to everyone, from his people, from his servants and especially from uke.
Seriously, what is wrong with y'all. Yes, before you throw "It's just fiction! A story. " yes, it is a story, but it's still repulsive. Don't expect others to be into this type of things like you. Be better. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
Dawg first of all, I don't know why you're becoming hostile, I wasn't mocking you or anything and I didn't mean to offend you.
But yes, it *is* fiction. And no, I'm not saying grape/mol3station is okay because it's "just fiction". I'm saying people actually LIKE this genre. Psychological horror. Just how one can enjoy killing stalking for its fucked up themes without labelling it a bl. This piece is also psychological. Why it's in the Yaoi category is not something I can determine. If it was me I would put this in psychological. Its pretty clear that this manhwa is very good when it comes to psychological horror, not when it comes to Yaoi/bl.
You call this an abomination but like I said, it's a psychological manhwa, the characters are very well written and the portrayal of obsession is perfect. We're also about to see exactly why the ml is so obsessed with Sam-myeong and I can't wait. The characters are extremely interesting to see, the manhwa is not an abomination. It would be an abomination if there was absolutely no depth to the characters. If you want to read Nice bl and nice Yaoi, you shouldn't be here at all.
You said the op wants to 'spread awareness', which, I can actually agree with you and I can see why someone would wanna do that, but there's honestly plenty of them already, and there's also other nice ways to do so, you know?
Also I have no idea what else you want me to take from the ops comment. The fact it was a terrifying read? That just means the manhwa is well written.
My mind is not 'filthy', as you say, for asking why they're questioning sympathy for the bad guy. I'm saying I know some people will always turn on bad guys because they simply want to. You saying "no, grape is bad", isn't going to stop them, clearly. Which is why I'm saying it's pointless. I really don't understand why you're so offended. I don't mean to fight with you at all.
I highly agree to this. Being a hater to this type of manhwas is a pleasure lol
Well, seems like someone's agitated? Sorry about that.
"Well Written" you say, but the plot is basically like porn oneshots. If that’s what makes this "not so abomination" have plot then you might as well call Dark Fall a good and well written story as well while you're at it.
A well, good written work with characters full of depth? Did we read the same thing???? Gosh! How funny. How amusing really...where are you people coming from?! The characters you speak of that has those "depth" are a grapist, a victim, and some npc characters that can't do shit but be powerless against an antagonist. Not only that, do you even see what the author posts on their twitter account????? If you haven't, you're gonna have a rude awakening ngl. You also seem to not grasps as to why they're disgusted, furious and just hate this abomination to their heart, it isn't just because of the story but it's also the romantization of the work and how the author has tried to make the ML as pathetic as ever to excuse the actions they've done (which makes everyone lose their marbles actually. That was probably one of the OP's points.
And, so what if i preferred Nice Yaoi's? What's preventing me from ever getting to this side of the genre? Just because i prefer nice, fluffy and good yaoi's doesn't mean i'm not interested in the darker side of it. There are alot of psychological yaoi's that ARE MUCH, MUCH—MUCH better than this. They tackle a lot of things but they never once romantized or downplayed those topics this piece of shitty work does.
FYI, i wasn't trying to be hostile with you. I didn't and couldn't figure out what side you're basically on with what you've said, so i figured you're one of those filthy degenerate bl readers that i wanna plummet to the ground. Which, on my part, seems quite judgmental, but it can't be help, right?
FINALLY! Someone who i can talk with sense on them! Glad to meet you friend! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
I just kinda want to laugh at the part of spread awareness with reading EVERY CHAPTERS of what u suppose hateful manhwa XD
Like ur life is that either boring, hateful, of something if u want to hate on some fiction amd make sure peopke know how nasty ur feeling is. Like screaming on ur neighbourhood so everyone know how upset u are for EVERY CHAPTERS because u spreeeaaaaddd awarenesss. For a mere fiction.
Anyway, @naonao, I agree with u. Or better. Its fiction. U can just drop ur brain down and enjoy the thrilling arcs like how u watch ur happy tree friends :) (which honestly, I hate that animation with passion and cant watch more than one episode).
Huh? Why are you hating on them? I was the one who said "Spreading awareness" part...so..shouldn't i be getting the smokes though?
Huh, I thought its pretty clear whom I mean in my reply.
...did you even read the previous replies though??
Wait..are you like..a defender of this work or smth??? Cuz you sound like one but isn't also exactly like one...okay..that's weird.
Huh, I wonder where u get that vibe off. But yeah. Already read. Just want to comment that funny part.
Oh! So you're a troll?? Ah, okay. Got your drift, we cool though? ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Yes, i do think it's a very well written manhwa and no, I don't follow what the artist posts on their twitter, could you tell me more about that?
Comparing this to dark fall is just sad bro, that shit has NO depth NO plot NO good writing at all.
You're saying the author is trying to get us to feel bad for the ml but I think there's more to this. The ml is CLEARLY terrible and the author has never once glorified any of the things he's done. He's ugly, first of all. He's a murderer. And sam myeong is genuinely terrified, moreover, we ALL think he's batshit insane because of his behaviour (threatening to k!ll sam myeong and himself) so no, I don't think the author is simply gonna show us the ml's past and be done with it which is why I'm interested to see what they come up with.
Obviously if they DO give us that sob story of how he was abused and just turned into an abuser....this is gonna be a shit manhwa. Hundred percent. And guess what? There are STILL gonna be some people who enjoy this and will defend it with their life, which was my whole point since the beginning. Some people love dark fall too, it's insane out here. I don't blame you for calling these people weird and insane but well, calling a theif a theif isn't very constructive. They already know they are.
But then again, it is a little sad to see that there are literally 0 trigger warnings here, so I guess I get the spreading awareness part.
I totally respect your preference by the way but like you said you're exploring more genres and that's totally fine but coming in here with 'yall are weird' is a little, i don't know, hypocritical (?). You're the one who's following the artist here and on twitter and you see that they have fans despite the crazy stuff they draw and you're still here. You are the problem you're complaining about.
What the hell are you talking about rn
So its really my reply whos weird XD I actually agree with u. But somehow my answer is too confusing?
But really deep or no deep fiction is my place to just put down my brain and enjoy the plot without I need to care how I can control the story. Real life problem is too much and if I need to bother with fictional awareness no one would care about my country problem anyway XD
Its not like we are a little kids that still need to being spooned with morality lesson when we surfing internet.
But seriously. When I watched happy tree friend with my brother a few years ago, when I asked him why he can watch it he really said, "Its just a stupid animation, why would I bothered by it?" But I just cant watch the gore, ahahahahahahaha!!!
Uh no. It's not 'just fiction', it IS a real life problem and it's happening to numerous people as we speak. Sure it must be a bliss to be so ignorant and say you can just put your brain down (wtf) and read through stuff without worrying about the real world problems when pieces like these that glorify grape and mol3station are what seem enjoyable to you. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. the 'real life problem' girl it's YOU. do you even understand that social media is the biggest source of knowledge for millions of people? There are literally people out here actually thinking this is okay because it's 'just' fiction.
You need to hold this author accountable and question yourself for saying it's just fiction. I am literally done talking to your ass
Eyy. Sure its must be fun to life that ignorant to take a fiction so seriously when u dont even know where I life. I life in third world country. Problem like sexist, pathriarcy, corruption, homophobia, femicide, exploitstion, low wage, low nutrision, when u dont even know is its worth to life another life in this country. Where u need to have ur emotion always high, nothing a day without another bad news.When urbown country slaving u up and making ur their nasty sacrifice lambs. U ask me if I fucking care on some fiction??? Ive done that to rl person all day. Sypathizing a lot with all people that life in my hell hole country. We even got genozidal president and u ask me how I can ignorant for a mere fiction? Wow, ur priority must be sooo high if u can taking care so deeply on a mere fiction.
At most fiction is just a mirror. But not a goddamn problem. U screaming at ur mirror or trying to take ur reflection is so freaking stupid. Fix ur rl. U see from the mirror ur room is messy? Fix ur rl room. U think ur reflextion in the mirror is ugly? Fix ur mentality. Wdym u need to take serious fiction lol. Touching grass is important. Or better. Try life here in this hell hole called rl.
Goddamn. This is funny because even u try to talk so high might and what is that? Taking the author accountable? For making a mere fiction? When a real abuser and a real criminal exist? U focusing ur energy on this??? Oh my God. Look at this. Getting scolded because someone symphatizing on fiction more than rl person. What a joke. I wonder how the teach morality in school or house these day. Kinda hard to get inside this "fictional moral bubble" when I know majority people who said this their life is always better than mine. Ahahahahahahaha!!!
Uh, Im still high on happiness because one of my favorite story getting their mpreg arc and this is my holiday too so I dont want to bother to destroy my happy feeling with this naaaasssty religion-guilttripping kind of act. Enjoy ur all high-mighty morslty, everyone! Spread awareness of how problematic fiction is equal with real life problem! Honestly I dont want what happened in my country happened to u all but whatever! My country problem is just a mere problem, riiiiiiggghhhttt?? Not like ur fictional morality!
Damn. Even I feel ridicolous writing that with tbis broken keyboard.
Waiiittt. Share happinesss first (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ Hope ur favorite stories has their mpreg moment too (⌒▽⌒)
Okay, wtf does that have to do with this argument? Mind stepping out if you're not gonna speak sense?
Damn, what a fucking weirdo...anyway—i don't even know who i should be fighting anymore...y'all are damn too confusing mf.
Yeah, me too. Its just so confusing so just enjoy the hate and Ill enjoy my weirdness. Ahahahaha!
My english is not good so sorry? Kinda make a sense in my brain, tho. I can try to translate it in my mother tongue if u want.
No wait. It would become more confusing. Lets just agree to disagree here. It healthtier for each of us ( ̄へ ̄)
The author/artist on twitter has made some arts that basically ships the victim and the grapist. Basically romanticizing their relationship and somewhat promoting it on Media.
Have you been in this genre community for how many years now? I'm not asking to be rude actually, i'm asking if you've been here long enough to have seen other works that has done this type of guilt tripping for the ML, to excuse their actions whether it was bad or traumatic for everyone just so the hate on the character can be lessen and be turned into pity. You've seen that stuff? Cause i've seen it and it has been working.
One of the reason as to why i hate this type of works is not just because of the toxicity of it, it's how damaging it is for the genre and how it corrupts the minds of its readers...you might think that this genre is only eber being read by older people—but trust me...it's not just older people reading this...i've seen and heard kids read Jinx and think that abuse is okay to excuse and glorify if the ML is handsome or that its just fiction or whatever bullshit. I do admit, this work works best as a psychological work from how scarily portrayed the ML is...it could've been good ngl..but when it comes down to ME..it only ever focused on the sex scenes just like how it was on Dark Fall. That's one of the reasons as to why i think this work is no better but the same as Dark Fall (which, i do and always agree with what you said about this.)
With the latest chapter released to relive the ML's backstory, how it was traumatic..how tragic it was, it was in a direction where i am familiar to and that was just a way for the author to make the readers sympathize and somewhat make the ML's action be taken as nothing but less mistakes. But, like you said, other readers will still find this enjoyable—some of them are already aware of the fact that they're a degenerate enjoyer of some sorts but others however...are they aware of what they're been thinking or are they playing dumb? Either way, they're both fucking weird, but i don't judge.
"you said you're exploring more genres and that's totally fine but coming in here with 'yall are weird' is a little, i don't know, hypocritical (?). You're the one who's following the artist here and on twitter and you see that they have fans despite the crazy stuff they draw and you're still here. You are the problem you're complaining about."
Lmao, you make me laugh ngl. I'll admit, in my previous comments, i seemed quite hypocritical than what i wanted to portray but if that's how it came out to others, then so be it. I've no spare time to argue whether i'm being a hypocrite at this or not. My point stands is that others need their mind and morality checked when it comes to this. Fiction or Non-fiction, as long as you can determine what is right and from what is wrong and from what should be romantasize to not be romantasize to what you read then that's fine. Enjoy your read, but if you're gonna read atleast try not to be a creep or pervert about it. Also, i dropped this from the early chapters and i don't follow the author on twitter. The only reason as to why i was here to begin with was because i've heard and saw the raws from the ML's backstory and wanted to check it out. Glad that i did cause i got to have this conversation and FYI, i only ran across the author's post on twitter, not because i'm openly following them (wtf woild i follow an author that i hate their work? Tf is with that?) The fans you speak of are degenerates. Romantasizing rape, glorifying abuse ALL because it's bl and it's because it fits their tastes and aesthetics. Quite cute fans for a cute work ans author right?
Being the problem i'm complaining about? Hmmm..remind me again what i was complaining about in the first place. From how brain rotting this argument is dragging on, my brain has forgotten what i was originally talking about.
Hey Ive come to agree with a lot of what you said here so I guess that's progress.
To clear it up, I said you're part of the problem because I thought you were following the author on twitter and here, i didn't know you were just revisiting it so I apologise for accusing you of that.
Yes, I've been in this community a long time now and I used to be one of the people who would said 'its just fiction' until I saw how it affects our reality. Now, I usually skip out on the ones that have sex over sex over sex every two chapters while the author keeps glorifying the grape scenes because somehow the (TW) ml thinks the mc likes it anyway. I've seen those and I've hated those and i honestly get where you're coming from, especially about the jinx thing, people are actually weird about Jjk.
Why I wanted to defend this manhwa so hard was because although it DOES have so many mature scenes in the s1, I was thinking s2 was gonna be more heavy and we would get to see more of both the characters and the other new characters that have arrived.
I also agree with people being able to identify themselves as a pervert! As long as you know you're actually a degenerate then that's...idk it is what it is I guess, can't really do much about that.
Honestly I too forgot my entire point and spiraled out of it, especially with this other person interjecting. Anyway I really liked our conversation though, sorry if I came off as argumentative and hostile
If it's happening around you, you should be even more concerned that this author is normalising what you're scared about.
Mangago users when the challenge is to let someone have an opinion and share their experience lmfaooo
I did stop reading it after the first season ended, and I do indeed have free will which allows me to say that it is terrifying to be chased while escaping captivity. In fact, you guys have spread more hate in my replies than my initial comment did for the whole work. Get over yourselves.
"Normalizing" but its fiction. Ill laugh instead.
If u really stop at season 1, its probably because the new chapter of season two so u catch the stray with "sympathizing" part since its back story arc of the Top. Prepentual cicle of abuse theme thing, u know.
I just hopping here because someone said spreading awareness even knowing what they read with all the TW from other reader even still staying till season 2 and that just sooo funny because wdym u stay to spread awareness when hiatus time exist and u can processing the story better to stop it there and tell people not to read it but still read them lmao???
Damn Im pretty sure I mute this topic but its looks like my notification is broken because it just doesnt stop showing up in my acc.
You sure you've mute it or you just can't pass on the fact that what you're saying is absolute bullshit? Which is it?
No seriously, if I can show u screenshot Ill give it. I already mute it. It doesnt show up anymore even the notification is showing up. Or maybe we can mute it manually?
It's alright, i mean, if i were also you i would've thought the same thing and said the same thing as well so it's no biggie really.
Well, this conversation did started off rocky but it was fun, interactive and interesting nonetheless. It started with me wanting to defend the OP from their haters and BAAM! It went into this type of mess..anyhow, i also liked our conversation. We may have different takes on this work but i'm glad to see you're still aware and as dedicated to it. That's a good thing. Sorry as well for being hostile in my earlier replies..truce?
( ⭑•ᴗ• )✧
(๑•︿•๑)
And what u think is bullshit is becayse u dont have the same experience as me. Just a week ago there already a femiside killing in my country where a man killed his gf and cut her till 800 pieces. Not long before that a mother did suicide while killing her children too because her husband got a lot of debt from gambling. Do we really need to talk about what my goverment did too this month alone? My country is already so fucked up without this "fiction normalizing bad habit" thing. So I dont need another lecture from something stupid as ur fiction need accountabillity when this is my entertaiment, when even people who really DID A BAD thing in my country some of them still free and even still being given POWER to fucking up more life than just me reading. Do u know there was a big demonstration to refuse an UU in my country and some of the people who did that cant even come back and still in the police for "interogation"? Like please tell me why this fiction is sooo bad for our morality when Im sure my morality is better than those people who I doubt ever touch this kind of thing and wreacking my country. Please tell me why fiction that majority being written by female to their own enjoyment is bad when patriarchy without the help of said fiction already doing enough to make our life as woman worse.
Ohhhhh..so you're that type of woman??? Alright! Gotchu². You're not making any sense right now but also keep trying to connect your argument in this thread as to what? What's exactly your point though because clearly, i'm being stupid right now for not taking the point.
I may sound rude here but i think you need to atleast let your phone down for a while and step out cause you sound shit. No offense.
Also, what does the topic of being a woman has got to do with this?? And i sympathize and mourn for your country, whatever it is but what's the connection bruv???
Y'know what...i'm not gonna reply to any of your replies anymore, you're only gonna wreck my brain worse. Have a happy life.
Damn. Its probably would still sound bullshit for ur ear and brain and thats kinda makes me sad #-.-)
Like. It must fun a life where u can just debate a fiction morality and doesnt need to see that those debate wont really affecting any rl problem. When u find something offensive in ur fiction, u speak, insult the other rl person and thought nothing becayse their "fictional" morality is worse than urs and then u can just run off to rl and find solace there. Leaving ur fiction morality debate behind while thinking its worth it.
Yeah. Thats ... hurt.
Yeah i know. Exactly. Im that type of woman, isnt. People like us better gone. Putting phone down. Because what? Only ur comment is worth the notice and I dont? Nrimo ing pangdum. Nrimo ing pangdum. If u think rl person problem is not worth to argue for this fictional debate sure. Im sure ur emphaty is so magnificient.
truce, youre a really sensible person and your sentences really had me working my brain (●'◡'●)ノ
Heh, thanks! I can say the same for you! Very mature and knowledgeable and very passionate and dedicated to what they love and believe in. It's very rare to find someone here in this site. Glad to meet you! ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
For the record, I also appreciate your willingness to defend me. This debate was pretty entertaining ngl, even if it was unexpected
It was nothing really and yep! It was entertaining as hell and very interesting. Hoping to run into y'all again next time. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
nice debate guys
