If yall like this, I suggest Friend or Faux. It has a similar tense/betrayal/sexual vibe with possessive ML. Webtoon isnt finished but novel is!
Was it good? I'll read that
Ty for the reco!
Thanks bestie
Link?
I highly recommend The Edge of Ambiguity if yall like that tense/sexual/angst/betrayal vibe going here with possessive ML. Also incomplete though....
I agree. I get a similar vibe. I came here after reading edge of ambiguity.
How slow did you really want it to be? They didn’t fuck until just recently in that story and it was chapter 80 something. Now I am all for a good story but damn.
ooohhh that sounds tempting
and also eighteen's bed!!! toxic bl high school manhwas got me in a chokehold bruh
It looks like Ian stuck his thumb in just to keep his mouth open and i am here for the freak omg
I'm just here to see a hotass man pine. The plot and character development earn low points from me in terms of creativity, but yunno what?
Sometimes thats ok. I'm okay with rewatching the same tropes sometimes. It's like watching your comfort show for the umpteenth time with the same snacks you've been rebuying for the last decade. We can just enjoy this for what it is.
Yeaaaa people just had a lot of expectations from it
Ppl give low ratings when they don't like how dark a story turns or black flag the ML is, but objectively, this is a pretty well-written story. Yes, there is rape, forced pregnancies, and assault. But the story clearly shows them to be the poor/malicious choices of our characters. they aren't used just as sexual content for the characters to fall in love. They are the results of the characters who are BOTH deeply flawed ppl with very deeply embedded emotions that they can't let go of. The story doesn't romanticize rape but rather shows it as what it is.
I also like that the characters have a lot of personality, especially in season 2 where the tone is much lighter bc the characters don't make the same mistakes as before. It's nice to see how characters learn from their previous mistakes and how making better choices affects their outcome. The story is very emotionally volatile but like i said, it is rather well written for what it is. It's just not a happy go lucky, super romantic narrative with perfect people.
Part of me still doesn't love JJK's progression. It feels very much like it's just the loss of KD and that he's at a low point in his life that made him realize his 'love'. But would he have realized it if everything else, like his physique and his win streak, were still going strong? It feels like the answer is no, which is why I'm not a big fan of this type of romantic progression. I just haven't seen JJK truly want to spend time with KD or get to know him.
On the other hand, its always fun to watch a douchebag pine(especially when he's undisputably still one of the hottest mofos in BL).... so let us eat cake i suppose.
I agree with you completely. But it was fun to see some new expressions on him. His expressions this new chapter are just like Kim Dan's on the earlier ones. He's surprised and touched in a way that he *never* was on the first season.
this was the cutest shite ever omg. i loved the first couple, absolutely adorable, funny and with just a touch of angst.
Not a fan of the second couple as much. they are fine together but i didnt enjoy their getting together story. I didn't like that they threw in other 'potentials' while Bora still had her own issues to work through while Jay was just,.... there. and basically perfect.
Absolutely LOVED DAJIN THOUGH, MY ABSOLUTE BADDIE. homegirl showed up in the last couple chapters with barely any screen time and she was probs my favorite female character.
Once i got over shrieking about how cute Ian is, I noticed that Eunsan might have a sexuality complex. His divorce is intentionally left very mysterious but its clear that there was no actual fault between the parties(they can still meet on good terms). Eunsan has been very negative about his future prospects. He notably stresses in Ch20 that he wants to live a 'normal korean life', and he also clearly has no hang-ups about physical action with a dude.
It makes me think that he is aware he's bi/gay but might be ashamed or doesn't want to be.
The story itself was pretty damn good, unique as well. Side characters were awesome. As someone else said, Karel IS gay af bc the women in this were all hot af and awesome. i had mixed feelings about the leads and their romance though.
I liked that they weren't these perfect mary sues but honestly, they really wore me out. Specifically Sasya. He was so self-destructive and self-centered. His one shining moment was not leaving Charles alone but even that was only for a few hours while Levin was out. I just almost struggled to see why anyone WOULD fall in love with him so quickly and deeply, which is one of the parts I do agree with Sasya, but still it was exhausting reading from his POV.
I was also kind of ok about the ML. He goes from 0 to 100 for a pretty face which is something that the story does acknowledge is crazy. But it just made me think that if Sasya wasn't born good looking, the ML would have never given him a second thought. And if the ML himself wasn't good looking, his actions especially in their early days would've been extremely creepy and discomforting. By the end of the extras, it really did feel like even the ML was growing weary of the MC bc he acts so childish(throws tantrums, irresponsible, can't take care of themself at all).
