I hate them all OMFG. Bottom is needy, oblivious, naive and BRATTY. Minwoo is okay but I have a feeling he's gonna become bad to gaslight the reader into thinking the top is good, sucks cs he's so cute and I like him though. But the FUCKING TOP omg. First he RAPES the fucking mc FIRST chapter, literally while he's drunk and confused and so sick he PUKED, then he just acts like and overall asshole slut, sleeping around and even going against his partners wishes AGAIN(trying to force his sub/dom kink on them). But not only that, he now is trying to force it onto the mc (who is dumb enough and inexperienced enough to just go with it) and even chokes him out of anger during sex, takes advantage of mc while he's in heat, and CUMS INSIDE OF HIM. KNOWING THE RISKS, AND DOESNT EVEN FUCKING TELL HIM?? ARE YOU FUCKIN SERIOUS? LIKE- ARE. WE. DEAD. ASS.
Bc what the FUCK do you mean "its an aspririn" no you little bitch the line was "I'm an asshole and I couldn't control my stupid fucking dick and took the condom off with no regards for the consequences because Im a selfish price who only puts my pleasure first, and I bought this because I realized my actions and want to be responsible for them" but instead he takes no accountability, and doesn't even give any fucking aftercare, or ask mc why he was in heat so randomly or ANYTHING THAT WOULD MAKE HIM A DECENT FUCKING PARTNER.
I hate him.
And I also read some spoilers that tell me this fucking dumpsterfire
- doesn't get any better so I am dropping it. What a waste of a beautiful art style ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
Also I take back what I said about Minwoo he's a little bitch too, he's part of the reason the MC is so fucking dumb and childish, I understand why he doesn't want to lose the MC and why he's so possessive bc of their trauma but if he just CONFESSED or wasn't so overbearing the mc and him prob would've grown into a cute relationship
Hey, fun fact, Listening to Moon river and Swim good by frank ocean during the flashback chapters(during his attempt)and before that are NOT in fact good for your mental health.
Also this manwha is THE standard, I dont care, this was so full of love and warmth and yearning that I couldn't even read the smut because it felt like I was intruding. Honestly of I could give this 20 stars I would. Literally currently making a Playlist on Spotify dedicated to these 2 that's how bad ts is, If someone ever loves me like this I think I would physically combust like every atom of my body would dissipate as my soul ascended to the heavens. And dont even get me started on the art, it felt like I was sipping on a warm coffee in a dark apartment on a rainy night, like an impending doom my soul was welcoming with every chapter. And the flashbacks felt like sleeping on a swing on a warm summer day letting the sun soak into every inch of my body and being so giddy with love I just want to laugh. The only thing I can think of that would be considered a critique is maybe lack of depth when it came to some of the other characters and how they contributed to the story, but the love story made up for that completely to me. I maybe want to see a few more chapters that just hone in on the afterglow of their life together from now on(and also him telling the girl who he is and reconnecting with her bc I lobe her<3) otherwise this is a masterpiece, they are the best, I WILL be back with my Playlist on hand, and im gonna go cry now
Just my fucking luck, I left this to marinate and I come back to read it the LAST day it updates before another hiatus
Did I understand only 20% of this manwha jn regards to business, and political actions? yes. But was this still one of the best tension filled, dark, toxic relationship manwhas I've ever read? Absolutely. And I would even go as far as to say to take the whole "toxic" part with a grain of salt, they were more dysfunctional than most, but still seemed to really care for each other and just went about expressing their emotions incorrectly. I do wish they had more scenes together or that there was side stories that showed them being softer, like how they were near the end, but overall this is a very well developed story and incredibly engrossing, even if it seemed to drag for some parts (Which is admittedly my own fault, as I lacked the comprehension for certain things and tended to skip forward ). Plus what it lacked in 'traditional' relationship values, it made up for in tension. I mean when I say I want enemies to lovers, I mean I want them to hold the amount of tension these two had,when they finally get together. Even though technically speaking this isn't an enemies to lovers story, it fulfilled that kind of satisfaction that enjoyers of that genre usually experience.
All in all very solid story, one that I wish I had the mindset to fully comprehend and appreciate the intelligence of, but solid nonetheless. The couple is rough around ths edges, but progressed beautifully, and I wouldn't be upset if the author made more chapters to appreciate their relationship. Anyways I need to stop ranting about this or I fear I may start making even less sense

Oops didnt mean to post twice
Came into this hoping to see the twinks on the cover fuck, and stumbled upon gold
Damn I thought this was cute, came to the comments and nobody likes it
it is if you turn your brain off(づ￣ ³￣)づ
if you haven't it's blackmail/dubcon twice over(⊙…⊙ )
?It feels way more blown out of proportion than it really is though, the "blackmail" from the ML is just him guilt tripping the mc into doing the shoots, but it's obvious the mc has people in the household who would've stopped it if he really didn't want to do it, and the ML wouldn't have been so pushy if he believed the mc to truly be uncomfortable. Otherwise it was the other dude who was really doing the blackmailing, and the ML handled that. Also I dont remember there being any explicit dubcon, just the usual behavior where itsnot actual rejection of the ML's advancements, but its from embarrassment. Also it seemed pretty clear that the ML would've stopped if the mc actually felt uncomfortable and wanted him to stop. So no, I dont find it cute bc I "turned my brain off", and this patronizing comment wasn't very insightful.
it doesn't have to be explicit just dubious
the mc's first time on his own and most likely never face any situation that requires dealing with pressure
the ml is a ceo that gets what he wants by any means and doesn't take no as no
i dont see anything more the mc could do to fight against somebody that intense
he fell for the pressure and pleasure which is common
and it's the landlord if they can avoid the hassle by looking the other way that's easier that going against the japanese way
you are turning your brain off
the ml saw a easy lic and took it asap because the author on had a book's length to make it happen and you've just accepted it by saying the victim didn't do enough
I fear I may be too empathetic for this because I DO In fact feel bad for jaekyung. Yeah he's a POS in the present but that's not the Jaekyung I sympathize with, its the little kid that only had boxing and winning to drive his life, and his purpose, and the teenager trying to beat generational curses while dealing with grief, abuse, and abandonment. Its okay to feel empathy for someone's past, without excusing their future. Im not exactly a "fan" of this manwha but I did want to stick it out because this author writes characters in a way that is very realistic. I don't excuse his actions as a rapist, abuser, and just all around asshole, but I can take into account the perspective his back story gives me, and mourn the person he could have become.
Extremely well put! I agree wholeheartedly
Wow, i wanna follow you
