and bitches say he's forcing cortney to go along with his whims
He does force her through manipulation; he just has a set a limit/boundary. He'll put on a sly act to trick and manipulate her, but it has to be for only small things and for things he thinks she would like anyway. He does just enough to fulfill his needs and hers.
we have different definitions of manipulation and forcing cause to me seeing someone who'll probably go with your kinks and introducing them isn't manipulation or force. him "being sly" can easily read as his charisma and calculated demeanor picked up from being literal royalty showing.
+ having read the novel she's gonna bring up so many things he didn't even really suggest,, the forcing argument really falls flat to me then.
manipulation according to the dictionary: "the action of influencing or controlling someone or something to your advantage, often without anyone knowing it: ". He is not doing problematic manipulation, but he is manipulating. He knows that she will give in, so when he does it's more of a "soft force", or rather a nudge/edging. He's pushy, but he has his own boundaries and never pushes hers. They are both overachievers when it comes to caring for someone. But I won't mince my words just because I like him.
I said all that, but summary: manipulation is present, true force is not. lol, I got lost in the sauce when writing
man i died when i saw that dick in the middle of the room
i was cracking tf the whole chapter man they're so back mr yoo "ring me up all night long with that beefy wood" hajin and moon "ooga booga" geonwoo ,,, also im a martial artist nd i can confirm finishing all the rounds with one throw is fucking insane like the fanboys weren't overreacting
bro is sick in the head man,,,, but i already had a bad feeling when puppy boy left to get food
looking for a year old rotting corpse and i bet he's still gonna be recognizable,,,, right
i was reading the backstory like "i really don't care but okay"
Exactly. I can understand why you have a bad attitude. But does that mean it excuses the bad attitude? There are plenty of times I could have chosen to be a dick because my home life was shit, but instead, I kept to myself. Or I went out of my way not to ruin the mood.
I just knew I was not trying to be the source of someone's suffering.
YEAH EXACTLY!! i hate this trend of justifying everything with a little backstory
they're honestly so funny i wish the misunderstanding would get cleared up already
(calling it misunderstanding to be nice cause we all know bora just lied deliberately
