Also idk go rosa looks older for a middle school student.
Don't listen to most of these novel readers guys, they either are very biased or just haven't read the entire novel. Just read the novel for yourself.
do u have the link
Ok was that movie poster in ch24 a deadman's switch reference lmaoo
i swear i wasnt tripping
I hate when an obsessive seme isn't obsessive at the right time. GO STALK HIM RIGHT NOW AND BEAT THAT REDHEAD.
ON GOD I was expecting him to show up when that fkass readhead raised his hand and was so mad when he appeared in his room smoking away like bitchhhhh!!!! You missed your chance and now we’re getting 20+ chapter of this conflict bcz of rhayy
Jun is so pretty i understand why the artist drew two solo (censored) scenes of him when the book in this stage didn't have any except the one that was interrupted (it comes a bit later due to jun's feelings development) (but my mind is a bit hazy though).
I wish there were more mcs like kang jun because not only he has a solid character development, hes also mentally strong and stood his ground against yohan in the end who genuinely had to grovel for kang jun (many "strong/buff" ukes couldn't relate since their semes have gotten away with worse stuff). Kang Jun has a realistic and relatable character arc, and the author doesn't try to make him different looking from your average ukes (like trying to make him tall and muscular to show hes not like the others like many new novel/manhwa writers do these days), he is short, pretty and gets flustered and sometimes is a pushover especially in the beginning but his solid personality that borders on moral ambiguity/greyness and his very unreliable narration and self awareness is what sets him apart from the other holy mother twink mcs (i love them too tho). I love him fr and could talk about him for hours.
(Now on to my personal rant, so you can ignore it)
But I know my wish won't really come true since bl (manhwa) fandom's definition of a well rounded and strong uke begins and ends in him being physically "strong" and masc looking (dont ask them about personality). Like if kang jun wasn't a pretty twink, i know he would've gotten viral in eng fandom and would have edits everywhere, especially with the stuff he would do at the end lmao.
And bl fandom fans are hypocrites at how they let the semes get away with worse stuff but god forbid the uke is pretty with clear skin and has a mean disposition.
hey im curious: what happened with yohan near the end of the novel? did he and jun have a fall-out (-.-)
Let semes be poor and shy and let ukes be manipulative! Not every bottom needs to be buff or shy and not every bl top needs to be manipulative and charming.
Saying not every bottom needs to be buff is crazy considering how the majority bottoms r all twinks buff bottoms barely started getting popular lol
fr
I was only referring to this topic page saying the buff character doesn't need to bottom because ppl wouldn't be rooting him to be a bottom if he wasn't buff.
Also "barely started getting popular" is crazy because in korean manhwas, there is a bigger trend for buff bottoms especially nowadays, if you search for the buff bottom tag and compare with twink ukes, you will be hundreds of manhwas with them, twinks were more popular in the earlier years but nowadays, they aren't much popular anymore.
Most of the twink bottom manhwas/mangas you see are either from old mangas/manhwas or are adapted from web novels. Even if they are new ones, most new releases are buff bottoms while only two or three of them are twinks bottoms. So majority of bottoms aren't really twinks anymore especially after 2018 since there is a major rise in buff bottoms so its more equal now and leans the popularity more on buff bottoms.
(This is JUST MY THEORY and its big you can ignore it) --- I personally don't think he looks like a child at all but him looking youthful could be intentional seeing how he was taken in as a child by seme's father and was basically a "art muse" and he refers to him as his master.
The poor uke was probably exploited and heavily groomed by the seme's father to be more like a art project than an actual person and having no one else by his side he probably grew up timid and sheltered. His character design was probably made by keeping his backstory in mind and how he would be more appealing to the greater masses since being super buff and normal looking would be unnatural for a person who was probably being kept as "innocent, boyish and sheltered" intentionally by some perverted and pedophillic old man and would only make him appealing to a shorter demographic. His bedroom is childish and seme intentionally taunts him by talking to him childishly (im not sure about this one) and psychology tormenting him by playing a messed up version of "hide and seek". Enoch is implied to be mute and disabled people are more likely to be victims of abuse as well.
Also the names aren't probably chosen randomly either.
Enoch (uke) means "disciplined, trained", David (art that resembles uke) means "to love/beloved" and Hector (seme) means "steadfast/to hold".
Remember, this is a genuine psychological smut manhwa written by someone who is notoriously known for writing mindfucks like code-ana and bad life. If you are here for the usual strong buff uke gets fucked by black flags go to back to c.a and bad life.
I honestly agree with mostly everything you said lol I had a similar idea too abt the uke being groomed or exploited mainly bc he refers to the father as “teacher”. And as well became the muse for the seme’s father after he discovered him (the uke) （/TДT)/
A letter from keanu reeves is a chinese song. It's a reference to that. From what have I heard, the song and the story has similar vibes.
