The part that bothers me the most is that clearly that scene is to be taken as smut for us to enjoy. I'd actually be less bothered if it wasn't meant to be sexy (i.e. the uke wasnt able to get hard), because that would have been realistic still made some sense in the story. While still unecessary, I can see how this could contribute to the plot.
Also, it was just uncomfortable how the uke was on one hand acting like he's in a lot of pain (which makes sense) but also coming over and over. Like he's getting a hole punched in his gut, I'm surprised he didn't pass out sooner. In general, this scene was very uncomfortably violent with the added dynamic of their parent/child relationship.
The qrt is so pretty, and I'm super intrigued by the story so far!
I really liked this chapter! The previous ones felt a little rushed, and this did a good job of dialing it back and explaining the context of their relationship. I feel their issues were due to a lack of communication and different expectations. Clearly they both loved each other, but they also had a power imbalance which enabled the rich guy to do whatever he wanted. I don't think it was malicious, but he lacked consideration for his partner (hence their current break-up)
On rereading, I think the guy who raised the mermaid (and named the MC) is also the company owners biological father? Cause the guy was a sex worker, and it's implied both that the owner (glasses guy) was an illegitimate child and that he looks like "the man who was nice to women". If true, it's cool how it ties together.
Lmao, the ignorante audacity of telling a dragon to call him sir
Villain origin story is he overheard the other dude saying he wouldn't fuck a guy and he thinks dudes are gross? Bro, get over yourself. That's completely normal for a straight guy, he didn't say anything homophobic, and high school boys are gross
exactly!! like wtf? what did you expect a straight dude to say? and for one thing he said in high school you're out here drugging him, raping, filming and blackmailing him?!!
Ok what pisses me off the most is how fucked up/illegal it is for the WHOLE SET CREW to knowingly blackmail him like this. It's still horrible when it's just the seme+1, but everyone knew!?! The only reason the uke keeps acting is bc the camera was so damn expensive.
How about an alternate ending where he reports them for rape, coercion/blackmail, workplace harrasment, etc. Uke wins a huge amount of money and can afford therapy. The av company goes bankrupt, and the seme plus director go to jail with criminal charges.
that's too good of an ending to ask for in yaoi... I bet they're just gonna kiss and make up as they always do even tho no one in their right mind would do such a thing..
That’s be such an ideal story I would actually pay for :’)
Just me, or was that plot twist way to dramatic?
Dunno if it a plot twist when the story was setting him up as a villain. It was no way he was going to leave Rupard and Noah alone.
Yes, but the events at the end of the chapter felt very rushed.
