I was constantly infuriated while reading this. I read 2 other works from this author and the MLs in those were infuriating as well, but Jinxin is just on a different level. Many people in the novel's comment's section said that Jinxin was the tamest of all the MLs from this author, but I think otherwise.
This guy keeps cheating and lying and coercing Li Shou (MC) all through out the novel, and he doesn't grovel enough before Li Shou accepts him.
Why would you so easily accept someone who manipulates you into thinking that he loves you when he is not. More over why would you give him more chances after going through the same thing twice.（￣へ￣）
I read all the 188 group novels. Well, actually he is not the tamest of them all but he is one of the tamer compared to the main lead from sissy, years of intoxication, alpha predator. In my opinion, the most tame one is the main lead from professional body double.
however you are reading 188 group, also known as scum gong (top) group
In that case I guess it depends on the individuals feelings I guess. I read Years of Intoxication and still feel JuHan is much better than JinXin.
JuHan is terrible but he never gave false sense of hope regarding love to He Gu. He Gu willingly stayed with him knowing his character and other affairs.
Comparing that to this guy who basically betrayed Li Shou after professing his so called love. That's what irritates me more.
But yeah, I agree that each one of them is terrible in a different sense.
So the bigger guy only bottoms (or switches) if he has light coloured hair? The same pattern in almost all of the authors work. If the author specializes in switch couples, Why couldn't the first couple be a switch too?
What stupidity... You establish a trust for the wellbeing of omegas, to make sure they are not sold and can choose whoever they want but exclude one omega CHILD (Age: 12 Years)? Because he was already bought with money? What sense does this even make? When you establish such protection foundations you include all the victims under it. Not exclude them from the so called protection.
This just feels like the author wanted to write more child abuse. Disgusting.
This disgusting writing.. Why bring up child sexual assault and Pedophilia in the passing? And more over make it all a joke. What is wrong with these authors downplaying such sensitive topics. Disgusting.
I don't think the author was aiming for this. They were probably acknowledging the cliche of the overused backstory for characters like ML here, it's the same rinse and repeat backstory. (I feel a bit off calling it a cliche but oh well ig)
Yes the author may have unintentionally made this come across as them joking around with such a sensitive topic, but I think (and hope) they just didn't fully think it through?
Keep in mind I know nothing about the author, just wanted to provide a other potential side of the story.
I did not feel that this was troll (by the author) on overused tropes at all.
Whatever their intention was, I still feel it's not something to joke about. Under any circumstances.
It's not just this author, there are many who use rape, child abuse and all sorts of sensitive topics as comedy. And there are many more who show child rape when it is not really necessary to the story at all.
I am someone who looks at things from multiple perspectives, but these are not the topics I need or want to be liberal about.
Honestly yeah, fair enough
A sensitive topic is a sensitive topic afterall
So a 24 year old TEACHER is taking the guardianship of a 19 year old who he is interested in romantically? Moreover the 19 year old is quite child like and was sheltered?
This to me, SCREAMS grooming and pedophilia. What is with this disgusting trend of stories with pedophilia and grooming these days.
What r u on it's pretty much a language barrier, u can clearly see that the mermaid/fish is just confused when it about the "things on land" but he's pretty much knowledgeable when it's about the ocean. 5 years ain't even that big of an age gap plus they r both legal.
Agreed, they’re both young adults who behave rather innocently too
Girl...what are you talking about
comments like his pmo so bad like are we even reading the same story??
My point was not the age gap rather that a TEACHER was preying on a child like teen.
He might be knowledgeable about ocean, but the point stands that he is not knowledgeable about land and hence will depend on the adult teacher for acquiring that knowledge.
How is he preying??? So far he's not being aggressive(doesn't hurt him), doesn't demand anything from the merman, he's not manipulating him or deceiving him, and the merman is as free as a bird, this means that he can depend on others as well since he is not in any way shape or form restricted from communicating w anyone. Would u rather he stay at the aquarium devoid of any knowledge? Which do you think is the predatory relationship
“Child like teen” both of those are wrong. He’s a grown man, as mentioned. And his so called “child like” attitude comes from not knowing anything about the culture he’s in. If a young adult moved to a different country and didn’t speak the language or know the customs, they’d be innocent clueless as well.
If the TEACHER was not so mesmerized by the beauty of the 19 year old mermaid and had a crush on him, I would have agreed with you..
I would rather someone who does not have romantic inclinations towards the mermaid take him under their supervision for him to gain knowledge and not the teacher.
19 year olds are not adults. They are adolescents. They are neither kids not adults. They are in a transitionary period with more responsibilities put on them which makes most very unstable wisdom wise.
In this specific case he has a child like mentality towards human culture. He was sheltered all his life, and is going to rely on the TEACHER to acquire that information. The teacher already has romantic inclinations towards and is going to be his guardian of sorts. If the teacher was not taken in by the beauty and has a crush and took charge of the mermaid then it could be an innocent relationship as you stated.
Also, if a teacher or other adults with power of authority or influence over the young adult in a different country approached them with romantic intentions, I would still considered that as preying.
This was plain disgusting to me. An adult preying on 18 to 19 year olds _:(´ཀ`」∠):_
And trying to pass this disgusting concept and the SA as comedy. What is wrong with these authors.
Edit: 18-19 International age/ 20 years in Korean age.

It would be great if this is adapted to animation. This work has great action scenes as well as psychological elements. I would love to see the action scenes in animation.
What's with authors drawing the light haired characters with long eyelashes to make them "pretty".
When all other characters are drawn with no extensions on eyes only these "supposedly pretty" characters are drawn with these weird extensions on eyes (This character, Mido from Unfinished Business, Frey, Noah (Kill the light), and list goes on).
I feel like someone stuck shark teeth on their eyelids.
Also, starting looks way too similar to DASH. Hopefully it doesn't go in that direction.
It's because we the readers love those characters drawn the way you have observed. The authors give the readers what they want. That's how they make money.
True
just wait until you read who can define popularity (but read if it’s good)
(≧▽≦) I just saw that work. And yeah, same syndrome (⊙…⊙ )
For lack of better words, WHAT STUPIDITY is this?
Omegaverse or even Guideverse makes some sense from a evolution standpoint, but CAKE? ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
What is the point of evolution based on cake? How? Even considering all the negative evolutions which exists, why would cake have any significance or role in evolution. A Human only concept of baked goods.
What's next? Dress verse? CPU Verse? Pesticide Verse?
Human mind is really strange. (⊙…⊙ )
i just gotta say. i laughed so hard reading this like these are my thoughts exactly lmao
(≧▽≦)
Fingers crossed that Ian leaves both the dragons and lives a fulfilling life („• ֊ •„)੭
But unfortunately I don't think that's going to happen. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
I agree!, could not stand Sol LoL
