A lot of comments throw the “idc” but this story is much more than just your average BL if that is why y’all are getting then reread it again.
Jinx is NOT a conventional romance, and categorizing it simply as Boys’ Love (BL) misses the deeper thematic layers. Jinx is Psychological Drama / Tragic Slice-of-Life with an unconventional twist approach in romance.
Read it through the lens of trauma, dependency mistaken for connection, economic desperation, and emotional repression. Set in a hypermasculine, exploitative world, it tells the story of two men who are products of their pain. One raised with abuse and one raise with love however both in an economical desperate situation. So you can see how both characters have been affected by the same situation but in different environments in turn becoming the product they are now.
This whole hate reminds me of how Killing Stalking was treated when it was never a romantic story.
