call me peak master's activites

lemme preface by saying this that this story isn’t completely irredeemable in some aspects. I like how it doesn’t portray the female mc as this weak saintly compassionate figure who’s 24/7 in need of help and does the typical ‘kill em with kindness’ schtick. HOWEVER, I will also say that this novel condemns its villains for the same thing that the mc literally did!!

Now here are my icks. MC is hypocritical, and the manhwa tries its best to make it seem like she’s in the right. She was the one who enjoyed the benefits of having a reverse harem of strong men who were at her beck and call, but all of a sudden, now that someone else (aka Grace) is enjoying the same benefits as she did, she began hating on this woman she wasn’t even associated with? Everything she criticized the villainess about, lo and behold, are things she’s already done! MC was engaged to a man she didn’t love. Led on her two friends whom she clearly knew had feelings for her and by that I mean indulging in the things they gave her out of their own feelings and not directly putting an stop to them by confronting them about it or even just say “Hey guys, I don’t feel the same way as yall.”

Second, her comrades (the people who got manipulated) were even more of victims than her!! I don’t get how you can read about these characters who got manipulated and forced to do acts without their own consent, got their will revoked and became puppets, and still think they are lesser victims than MC. It’s not wrong to feel upset but girl, you never GAF about your comrades lmao. She treated them like shit and bopped them around like a toy instead of compassion even after finding out they were being manipulated. It just makes me assume she never cared that deeply about her friends in the first place. MC’s anger is justified, but it’s definitely misplaced.

Lastly, the romance is meh. It’s cute but I don’t know how man can forgive you and love you even after you stabbed him and nearly killed him, but that’s just me. The ML who’s a demon king who’s killed people is also someone who gives bread to orphans because suddenly he cares about humans too. 1+1=21 calculations. MC, you can’t claim to be someone who cares about people when your man is a certified murderer who thinks about killing people whenever an inconvenience arises. That’s like white woman living in the wealthy suburbs crying about children in third world countries logic. Overall, good story if you don’t think too much about it. It’s not revolutionary, but it’s a good read to kill time. The biggest victims are MC’s friends. Period.

reading this bl story has given me hope that I can find a non self-respecting twink boyfriend who I can coerce, push around and make my slave & also become a sex god in the sheets FICTION GIVES U HOPE !!!

I’ve previously alr made a review on this, but I once again, find myself harping about this story once again because I keep getting roped into reading this again and again.

I’m not saying ‘Stranger’ might be the best BL out there, but I’m saying it might be one of the better ones. Woojung is a character I FULLY and can CONFIDENTLY state feels like a real adult. The beginning of the two leads’ romance is quite frankly disastrous, and I would even say, unconventional and bizarre, weird, off-putting, etc, because a grown man picks up a barely legal teenage boy off the streets, offered him a place to stay, money to spend. This obviously wouldn’t translate well on paper, especially when said adult decides to sleep with the teenager who freshly turned eighteen, almost instantaneously. There’s no way to argue there aren’t any wrongful moral implications.

Any adult with morales would immediately deny it. Yes, Woojung is a freak for that decision. He works in the legal sphere and knows the implications. HOWEVER, it kinda pains me to see that a story about overcoming trauma, learning security and finding the ability to allow yourself happiness when you’ve been so hurt and neglected, is being dropped because I genuinely feel that this manhwa knows how to weasel emotions out of you.

Woojung is a grounded male, almost parental and adult-like figure that Jiho needed in his life, and after being treated so well by this adult, I can believe it’s only inevitable that Jiho might begin to cultivate feelings. You could say there’s some power dynamics at play in the beginning, but imbalances in relationships, power dynamics means that someone has the upper hand over the other, which in this case, Woojung has neither because he likes Jiho. I mean, what kind of prosecutor would dare say he wouldn’t even send an alleged suspect to jail even if his allegations were true? Woojung said that just for Jiho! If he wanted this dynamic to continue, he wouldn’t have sent Jiho to college, even help him develop his own standing. He waited until they became equal—grown independent men—before he proposed.

The way these two build a connection with each other, being consistently present with one other even in turmoil, gives me enough conviction to think they’re one of the BL couples that you can believe will stay with each other for a long time and I’m happy both of them achieved their satisfactory ending after all their hurdles.

So I truly recommend Strangers if you want a good BL to spend your time on!! Plus the legal stuff, albeit little, was interesting to read. Strangers is always in the top three of my BL recommendations (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
