So, I thought I got the full story from the translation but nope, the proper translation really makes it clear and yikes taeju, that's awful. Good he realises what he did and why but still... I somehow didn't get that he was consciously deciding to keep the debt as a failsafe unless he tried to leave. That's serious red flag behaviour... not sure how I misinterpreted his intentions
For me, it felt like he lacked the confidence to make Euihyun stay and be with him without this debt between them. As early as chapter 40, he knew he had to make a decision - but if he erases the debt, he thinks there will be nothing between him and Euihyun, but if the debt is there, he would be slowly drowning Euihyun with anxiety and chipping away at Euihyun's self-worth. He made the wrong decision to NOT erase the debt (hence he said he felt dirty). Tbh, he should have had more confidence in himself and start over again with Euihyun from that point - erase the debt, then keep bothering him and court him like normal romances go until Euihyun falls for him lol
Yeah I agree. I feel silly thinking that's what he was doing! If made up in my head he wasn't forgiving the debt so he could make life difficult for euihyuns dad, but no. Just didn't want to lose the connection- I do remember him feeling this way, I just thought he'd already moved past it. Clearly not glad he's acknowledged it and look forward to the real change.
I can understand why he's mad. Even if he's done the same it's still a shock that he betrayed him too. He thought he was the only piece of shit now his bf is too. Kinda wild that he's so upset he's throwing punches though.
I think it's kinda clear what's happened, jaehee liked beta because he could smell his dad on him, beta just liked the attention, wasn't really that into him but accepted the relationship. Both have drifted apart in romantic interest but clung on out of a twisted form of loyalty.
This whole time you gotta ask what the people who knew they were in relationships were doing being with them too. Prof dad can act high and mighty all he wants, he didn't disengage when it mattered and was being a shit to the bf anyway, regardless of knowing it was his own son.
Some honesty is needed from everyone. I have no idea if beta can handle jaehee with his dad, but we'll see as that's the crux of it. Doesn't really matter what's moral, all their ships have sailed there! Just what they can all handle.
Also, it would be shitty of jaehee to not tell his bf he cheated too - let him feel the rage aswell and you're both even. Shitty to make him think he's the only one whose hurt jaehee.
So it's a vague rapunzel retelling. Bad prince is a grooming rapist, this scenario is why you must teach your kids about their bodies so no one can come in and do it instead with the wrong information. It was disgusting reading the interactions, that's exactly how a groomer would talk to a child and it's horrifying. I hope she gets with Licht not the abusive Prince.
Agree., materializing right before my eyes whilst reading is utterly unbelievable., maybe they'd have this kind of plot in other place, but in a manhwa??? They must be kidding.
Yes, warn and inform the kids so things like this doesn't have a chance to happen., reality has even a dimmer hope than this,.
'Waiting for officials like I should is hilarious mate' on the illegal site I actually laughed out loud!
I had forgotten I'd read this and re-reading altogether makes so much more sense to me than it did one chap at a time. Love the grandpa, so funny. I don't think he has any ill feelings towards the omega, he had the good grace to feel embarassed by what he'd said. He clearly wants shin to be happy and has regret so I feel I can enjoy him as a character.
I can handle rough, I can handle reading sa, I can handle a lot of bad stuff when it's acknowledged as being bad. What I can't handle is toxic, abusive sa behaviour that is ignored and portrayed as cute and lovely. This is not cute, a partner wanting to stop and the other not listening is not cute, it's rape. Don't bother trying to convince me otherwise, it just is. I'm OK with it in stories I just want it acknowledged! Which it feels like it is but people swooning over a partner not listening during sex annoys me
Yea I did find it a little weird but no one had mentioned it so I didn’t think much of it
Guys can you help me out?, I don't remember any scene of sa, the top is seriously toxic (jealous, mean and wants to control others), however... Is there a scene of sa that I missed?
Carrying on when he said he wanted to stop. It's happening in the story right now
Am I the only one who laughed? I mean I know it's serious and gross but for some reason it's just so crazy it made me laugh, maybe in a 'what am I reading' way.
I'm glad I didn't take it so seriously and can just try to enjoy the ride. It's still sad and gross though. I have mixed feelings
I laughd ibexpected this somehow, rhis really funny i think.
I laughd expected this somehow, this really funny i think.
This whole relationship is pretty suss. The controlling, possessiveness and distrust from the top has him a red flag already and he's now also coercive sexually - this is an unhealthy relationship guys. It's going to get worse I believe and its subtle just like in real life. I hope this is what the author is going for rather than this all being good and healthy. If they're going for depicting the subtle start of abuse they've nailed it, if they're glorifying this and think it's good..... that's concerning. We'll see.
Agreed
Yeah. I'm gonna see how the next few chapters go. But this was concerning.
agree. its been a few red flags but that last scene really nailed it in the coffin. maybe it was a long term crush on one side but its looking like possessive obsession on the other...
Yeah I was really enjoying it until he started getting controlling and the last chapter was just really not it for me :/ If it’s not meant to be him being subtly abusive & ignoring boundaries then that’s really disappointing and I really don’t understand why so many authors think someone ignoring a partner revoking consent is attractive or something to be brushed off :/ Gonna stick it out and hope he gets put in his place and gets better, but if not I’m gonna be pretty sad bc I was liking the story until then :(
That was honestly better than I thought it'd be, jk was calmer than i expected. It kinda makes sense why he's suspicious, Jk has rejected Dan so much and been so vile to him, why wouldn't Dan want to throw him under the bus? Cus that's what Dan should be doing but he's not which is confusing to jk - he knows he deserves to be screwed over.
Kind of being sarcastic but it does make sense
my exact thoughts as soon as the chapter ended my first thought was 'well that went better than i expected' lol. i thought he'd go fanatic and probably like hit dan but ig the author finally got some senses TT
I mean IRL surely they'd make the guys that the opponents did something? Why would Dan do something to it and use it himself? So weird. Bad writing flag when characters do stupid things for plot convenience.
Only Potato saw Dan using the spray on himself, so it easily could be a malicious attempt to weaken JK (at least JK could have that idea after the photo AND the accident)
But he is dum, what more money could they offer to Dan for JK to think the opponent's manager bribed him?
exactly, Dan did nothing to compromise his character and even fell victim to the last attempt to disqualify JK via spiked drink, yet suddenly they doubt him? poor writing
I meant more if Dan was the one to tamper with it, why would he brazenly use the spray on him then be so visibly scared? Jk knows his personality. That he's not a good actor and knows that he's scared of him so it's bad writing that he would think he did it on purpose. Unless we're going down the route of JK being angry he let it be tampered with? I could understand that.
All I can say there is a thing upon another thing that just doesn't any make sense... (〜￣△￣)〜
I hope the plot improves somehow, I don't want to lose more brain cells over it lol
100% I hope JK has some faith in him. I don't hold out hope though. I just can't with this plot. On top of it all I'm finding it very boring
yes I am reading another thing rn which has a really good plot so the contrast is stark lol
Did we need a miscarriage/abortion plotline? Was it just to make it more sad or to punish the ml more knowing it was their fault. Just makes it more clear they shouldn't be together with all this trauma despite euihyun not wanting that anymore.
It reminds me of final stop. That was a let down ending for me and I feel this might be too. Having read this authors other story I see they're up for sad endings. Interested to see how it ends up but I'm worried the ending will be rushed and unsatisfying.
