Chan-il: born to shoujo ml forced to side character in psychological bl
i’m crying
This is so true hes so ml in shoujo manga coded
I feel like he’s still too nice to be a shoujo ml. He’s more like the childhood friend that doesn’t win
lol true :))
I think I found the novel on the website "novel updates" and I searched the title 'the show must go on'. Surprising to see theres alot of low reviews.
It says it's four volumes ongoing but it's not completely translated
The plot was quite dark and morally grey (slavery, incest, drugs, even bestiality) , and so was the mc action against the OG!mc which it's not suprised to have low reviews bcs it's really not everyone cup of tea, but for those who like antihero, actual villain character and dark-themed genre would find it great (it's me, it's my favourite all the time) :D
Fyi the main story translation is completed so u can read it peacefully ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
The rest are the extra-ish volume that the tl team stop translating it and last time i checked on jp site, the extras still ongoing too so... ʕ´• ᴥ•`ʔ
the majority of bad reviews are bc of the bad writing, plot holes, 2D characters and the choice of ML, not the initial themes tho lol
Imo the ml was depends on preferences (◡ ω ◡) while i had biases because it's perfectly my liking, i can't deny the writing is bad more like manga script than novel which u probably find similar style on smut jp novel lol i agree that's also one thing to consider when u want read the novel (´ . . . `)
Is anyone else confused? In chapter 5 Soma says "I'm not in love with him...is what I'd like to claim, but I don't think I can" he's talking about how he still is in love with his exboyfriend Yosida but he also asks out Wataru that same moment.....and in Ch 6 Yoshida says during their new years hang out, soma told him "the moment I asked Wataru out was when I completely moved on from you". so what is the truth..the new years hang out was way before Wataru dyed his hair black too
The way I understood it is that he still had some feelings left for the ex, but was already in love with Wataru. That usually happens when you jump from one relationship to another too soon. It's not like he wanted to come back to his ex, but he still had some leftover feelings. Still, Soma's EQ is fucking awful, I'm impressed by how tolerant Wataru can be
I wish the writer could have made the plot and soma character coherent to clear up the confusion since he's saying one thing to Wataru and something completely different to Yoshida. If he were completely over Yoshida like he claimed then there would be no need to invite his ex to a personal celebration dinner that was for Wataru's achievement in securing a career. I guess Soma's character was just all over the place saying things and inconsistent for me
I caught up to the raws and I love this alpha and omega dynamic very much. For once the alpha and omega are in the same standing they're both working at the same position at a company so theres no power imbalance. It's a breath of fresh of air not seeing the cliches (CEO's/in debt omegas). They are both smart and hardworking and looks like they're going to fall in love mutually like a pair of idiots
this was the least angsty story from this author but it was still so heartwarming to see they found each other to love unconditionally. Words of affirmation and touch is definitely their love language
My issue with the ml is not that he's sleeping around with countless randos, but that he's purposely being malicious towards the mc. The ml knows the mc has pure feelings towards him and takes advantage of these feelings, even goes as far as show off he's just had s3x with a woman in front of him. Through his actions he's technically saying "I can sleep with everyone but you have to be loyal to me" bs. The trashy ml isolates the mc and prevents him from forming any other relationship. The ml sabotages any potential moment for the mc to meet someone new. It's creepy and annoying. The ml sees the mc crying but instead regretting being an asshole or maybe giving him space, the ml feels happy that the mc is miserable while he has his own groupchat of sleeping partners.
Righttt it's even horrible how he have a groupchat with the girls he slept with
ALL OF THIS!!!! he's literal trash
choso, please come back to gusu with me
LMFAOOOOOO NOT THE LAN WANGJI
I think he might do "the WWX", but no worries you just have to wait and search for 13 years for him to come back in another body
people in these comments both need to understand this is a nuanced topic. That said, I support sex workers because they are people and because they are human beings who deserve to feel safe no matter what their job is. It's not our fault that men have created a lucrative market out of objectifying ourselves, but I don't think it's an occupation that we should desire to push on to newer generations. in this plot we don't know if the uke actually chose this profession slash side hustle on their own with a healthy mentality or if they were groomed into it like other stories. It is important everyone approaches a situation with an open mind especially since we only have one chapter out but also be mindful and do some research before you go advocating as if it is empowering. Social media has also influenced many young women into thinking this profession is peak empowerment when in reality for most cases sadly prostitution normalizes the commodification of women/men and if you do your research theres a long list of resources on how the porn industry affects women, LGBT+ and POC - including testimonies from MANY women who were previously in the porn industry. In my country thousands of girls go missing every month and these unsolved cases are led to believe many of these missing young people are being trafficked. The percentage of people who actually are mentally healthy and want to do this is extremely small
Well said!!
exactly my thoughts
Thank you for saying this! I've been thinking about this quite a bit lately, but haven't been able to put it into words.
idk why people think sex work is empowering. it’s literally statistically proved that sex workers live shorter lives. sex workers in america on average live to their late 30s, while the average american lifespan is about 70 years. +most porn promotes violence to women, and so many people are trafficked for porn specifically. u also can’t forget the sexualization of minors, promotion of incest, etc. like u can figure this out by just going on pornhub and looking at the titles. idc if anyone decides to be a prostitute, i can’t really have a say on whether or not people want to watch porn, bc i’m on this website which is like majority porn.
The comment I was looking for
this reminds me of a podcast I listened to while ago but well said!
I graduated from school so my boyfriend and I decided to have a congratulatory dinner to celebrate my achievement and guess what? his ex shows up but its ok because my boyfriend had planned that. how sweet right? the end. this pretty much sums up the ending vibe to this manga.
