maybe cuz I've actually been homeless but if someone gave me that much money I'd just fucking take it
what are you gonna do, take it back
someone come give me some strings-free money and buy me shit, fuck
I never understand poor BL bottoms in stories like these
I think it’s more a power imbalance in the relationship. It’s not easy to take even if u need it cuz u feel inferior and that’s not the kinda feeling u want with ur partner
I get that, and I'm about as insecure as they come
but when it comes to putting a roof over your head and food in your belly, once you've had neither, it kinda sticks with you, so I have complex feelings about these sorts of stories. I've accepted money before, not to that level but enough to get some groceries or some gas, and it doesn't feel great, but I didn't try to give it back or pay it back bc I knew I needed it
don't get me wrong in those manhwas where the ML is a piece of shit and financially trapping the MC, that's not cool and it IS financial abuse and an abuse of the power dynamic. But in this situation Joongdo has gone out of his way to reassure Youngsoo (at least in recent chapters) so idk, it's not vibing right with me. It feels like creating drama bc ML ISN'T abusive.
but I'm also not one of those people who would get mad about someone's past. so inevitably when Youngsoo finds out that their relationship started out bc of a bet, he'll obviously get mad and there'll be more Drama but for me I'd just laugh. Well you lost that one didn't you. So I just don't relate I guess lol
aite I'm gonna let this marinate so I can skip over the stupidity this author is DESPERATE to pepper throughout this story
no, we're not making redhair a sympathetic character just fucking stop it already
I get that MC has complex feelings for him. But as time goes on MC has become MORE of a doormat which boggles my mind. In the first chapter he was angry that he was being forced to give bjs but he's gotten actually raped by this same dude multiple times and somehow he's gotten LESS MAD about it and is now?? blaming himself?? and apologizing?? for some reason?? what, exactly, is the character growth happening here? I'm so confused. Are we supposed to take that he's just being beaten down and no longer has the emotional energy to care? or what? because it's not executed well at all, it just seems like his character changed. None of their shared history has changed between then and now and -literally nothing- redhair has done in the course of the story we have been subjected to would justify suddenly becoming more generous towards him.
and then the ending of this latest chapter ffs
why is Dochan even there
he pops in for all of 5 panels to provide a half-conceptualized happy counterpoint to MC's constant misery only for the misery to take three more chapters
I don't get this author's style, at all
make it a tragedy or make it a proper love triangle, Dochan simply doesn't get enough screentime for him to even be considered a proper character at this point
Author is literally like: let's romantize rapist! He's just poor lil guy, be nice to him and feel sorry for him!
FR
"look how sad he is that he raped someone! he washed him down and put him in bed after so he's not that bad! it's just his feelings that make him rape~~~~"
like ?????????? tf?
this art style :sob: their necks have always been a little janky but ok nobody's perfect
but this chapter their heads were not connected to their bodies at all it was all I could see lmfao
WHEREVER I WAS EXPECTING THIS TO GO AFTER THAT LAST CHAPTER IT SURE AS FUCK WASN'T THIS
jesus fuck Geonwoo is HOT as a dom tho
this author's next thing better have a more aggressive top (not that I don't absolutely adore our teddy bear I of course do and wouldn't change him for the world but for the NEXT one)
Hajin bro you made your own bed with this one lmao
(but also apologize to our teddy bear asap and send blondie packing or my goodwill will be as ripped as your panties just were)
so...we're just gonna sweep the last 2-3 chapters under the rug. okay.
No cs the switch up is actually crazy
bruh someone said the original writer left after the first season which if true...kinda tracks actually
reading this latest chapter knowing what the thread really means was...painful
What does the thread mean?
The seme made it by making a deal with a spirit. The ghosts part of the deal was to make the seme into the uke which basically ruined the uke’s life.
I forgot their names lol
basically blondie hijacked MC's destiny/fate, that's what the thread means. Blondie making the contract with the spirit was what caused MC to get into the car accident, why he got the scar on his face, why he couldn't act anymore, etc. But he still thinks it's his "bad luck" and stupidly wants to protect the person who caused him all that misery
I was legit fully on JJ's side til this latest chapter and now I'm just like oh hey everybody sucks awesome
author clearly couldn't figure out how to put another sex scene in so we got...whatever the fuck that was
I know you're supposed to hate Jaeha
but
I REALLY hate Jaeha
