I get the impression this is going to be unnecessarily toxic and messy
Obviously this is gorgeously drawn but the plot is left to be desired. Nothing makes sense. For someone who is a fucking heart surgeon to be this easily swayed and lacking in all common sense and in one breath acknowledge he was raped and then willingly get in his rapist’s car …. Le sigh such pretty art.
No stop cause you're right. The art is enthralling and the characters really aren't appealing personality wise along with the looks tbh I just like the tats and the fact that the yakuza gave head.
He's thinking with his pee pee
Exactly. The art is super gorgeous, but I almost fell asleep while reading ch. 2 (okay, the smut is good, but the plot and characters are forgettable).
Legit
Good. But the ending feels unfinished and unsatisfying
I know this is suppose to be a fuck or die situation but I am actually getting bored of the constant sex and even more annoyed by how the reaper keeps treating the MC like his personal sex doll totally ignoring MC’s comfort every single time they have sex in a way that only meets the reaper’s sexual needs. He honestly is seriously beginning to piss me off and what a shitty experience to have as your only measure of sexual pleasure.
right!! it’s one thing to have it and do it tastefully, but why introduce an interesting plot and completely put off the entire point of the story…
i don’t know why you got so many dislikes but you’re so valid for this take. because not once has reaper ever been considerate of mc’s consent even when he becomes fully conscious- it makes the scene even worse for me to read. and they’re not even bonding through the sex, its reaper completely taking advantage and using mc until he’s finished
I honestly don’t care in this genre I expect low standards.
I just want a smaller top who’s not a manipulative piece of shit.
If he wants to use a condom, you use a condom. When he says to stop you stop. I’m honestly tired. Just tired. Why bother writing this if you’re just going to follow the same standard of incorrect portrayals of consented sexual intercourse. Oh… a cigarette that’s the new STI preventative measure missing from my SexEd…
Let's trust the seme doesn't have an STI lol (but don't do that in real life)
And the uke is an ass-virgin
Besides STIs if he simply doesn’t want be directly ejaculated into its within his right to, him being a virgin is besides the point. The seme clearly is sexual active, don’t just trust someone’s sexual status, if you feel uncertain take measures to protect yourself. The annoying part of this dialogue is literally the same bullshit many girls experience first hand from their male partners and this just reinforces this problematic view of sex for its predominantly female audience and it’s rampant in this genre.
The chances of the uke catching something dangerous when they go raw are higher even if they are both virgins, so you can imagine the risks with a sexualy active seme . But it s a 2D story . So let s trust the seme and ignore all of this ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I just wish I could read a BL now a days without some element of sexual violence. When you have Harry Styles play a gay cop and the bullshit out of his mouth is he’s shocked mlm love and sexual experiences can even be portrayed as soft and loving this is the reason why those who complain so much about the constant rape in BL see how it affects how people perceive sex and romance when they have only the learned and internalize imagery from popular media depictions. I know this is a dark plot and our ML is emotionally/mentally unwell, but what purpose those raping the MC actually serve?
Totally agree
it’s in literally everything now and you can actually see people becoming completely desensitized. also it’s just not good writing at all.
Why is it every single time a “pretty” top and especially a cross dressing top specifically is always written in Asian media as a manipulative man eater who specifically targets and preys on “straight” men and either tricks them into dubious consented sex or straight up rape. It’s every single cross dressing top. I’m not even exaggerating. It’s every single one. Like there are real life drag queens/cross dressing men who are actual tops who have sex with men who like men and do not feel the need to trick and assault their romantic/ sexual partners, BL has decided this specific trope is super super funny because isn’t it hilarious that this dumb guy be tricked by fake pussy into giving up his bussy. It’s seriously problematic.
I agree, but not every "pretty" top is like that though? take Reincarnated into Demon King Evelogia's World for example. There's this one too that I read back then but I forgot the title.
I agree sometimes I wish that we could get a crossdressing top in a healthy relationship without some blackmail and coercion at play

- didn't care for the second couple.
I’ve definitely seen a pattern of it and it’s not just bl but also SL where a woman finds another woman attractive but it turns out it’s a guy who likes to dress in drag. There’s nothing wrong with having a pretty ml who likes feminine things since there are a lot of good stories out there like princess jellyfish etc, but the smut ones just make it seem like these specific types of men are predatory. It also doesn’t help that people irl already have such a personal vendetta against drag queens and trans woman for this exact reason as well.
Try reading the first story in shisen no toriko. Their story is pretty wholesome.

Strange is short but so good. I kinda wish the author made a sequel of it

Crossdresser Therapy- Make Me a Shameless Bottom is surprisingly decent read despite its title and cover lol

Oh dang I forgot to erase circle. I wanted to rec it but after rereading the story, kinda realized the 2nd pair is a bit of a hot mess.
This is bittersweet. Us knowing that while he won’t vocalize it, Sonic is the most important person to Flash, but Sonic in real life and in this warped manipulative both want Flash’s downfall but for totally different reasons.
It’s the useless slut straight Top x emotionally scarred caregiver Bottom trope. There’s a couple of them that can kind of make it make sense why the two would get together but this one makes just so little sense for it. It’s a trope that’s annoyingly egregious because why would someone be this much of a pushover fully knowing it’s in their worst interests to get involved with a man who’s only currency is their dick can get hard but is otherwise a complete bum.
