Most of hese stories are supposed to be morally ambiguous and leave you thinking "should I have liked this?", especially the first one. I personally liked it even though I usually don't like incest, depends on the dynamic. I think if you interact with it as a fictional story, keeping that distance and knowing full well incest is a controversial topic, then it's fine

Asada's said on her Twitter she loves making her characters suffer and hell let her do it if it means we get these amazing stories.
There's something about the moral ambiguity (most common theme in her stories) and how their relationship starts off, it's all so insane I love it. I can't help but hope things end well for Mayumi and Hitoshi.

Funny how a few years ago I couldn't comprehend people calling babies cute and now I kept smiling and giggling to myself reading this. I've taken care of kids more than the average person my age so relating to some moments and seeing new perspectives was fun and another step away from that time I used to say I hate kids haha

Ngl y'all constantly spoiling what comes next kind of ruined the experience for me, I know you're excited but please contain yourselves. I like having the pleasant surprise! If you want just hint at it like "the next chapters are gonna be so good" and maybe leave a link but straight up saying it all first thing in the comments nahh bro

What the... Chapters 5&6 have been replaced by chapters from a different series and I can't find them anywhere
Also why did I start reading this IT HASN'T BEEN UPDATED IN 2 YEARS NOW ILL HAVE TO WAIT

it’s not that they’ve been replaced by a different series, they’re part of the original first volume. the author probably wrote the first volume as a one-volume release (usually the main story is completed in 3-4 chapters and then a side story or couple of oneshots are used to fill out the rest of the chapters) and then it became popular and serialized into the next three volumes.
unfortunately i preferred the side couple and will never see them again

I just started reading and instantly noticed sangwoo is clearly autistic but it's probably unintentional, as usual.
Up until now it's funny but also kind of frustrating bc I remember being in his shoes once and it almost traumatized my kid self, I wouldn't care much nowadays but it took a lot of mental strength for me to get here.
Edit: I actually loved the story even with the rough start. It's good that the way sangwoo was at the start wasn't treated as inherently bad, just different and it's always good for yourself to be a little bit more flexible.

Same, i dropped this a long time ago because i'm on the spectrum and reading this gave me anxiety like nothing else lmaooo. I re-read and finished it yesterday, and for me personally, it's not worth it. Maybe for neurotypical people this is fun and all but as someone autistic this just stressed the heck out of me.
(Kinda saddened me too because the author never intended to portray Sangwoo as autistic, she just wanted to make a robot-like, self centered character :/ )

of course, there are a number of traits that need to be present to be diagnosed with autism. Having one of them doesnt automatically mean you are autistic, and someone who has autism wont have all of those traits. If some autistic people perceive a character to be autistic and can relate to him, then why is it wrong for them to see them as autistic?

(just to comment on the last part of your question) It's a spectrum, meaning in can manifest in a lot of ways and intensities but what most people see as autistic are the strongest cases that are very obvious and sadly ableism is a thing. People are inherently avert to things they don't understand and that's why most react negatively.

Yea ableism is pretty horrible. Ideologies like Eugenics developed from it. Some people are even worse. Not only do they hate what they do not understand, they think that those people (and by extension their genes) should be eradicated. Ableism is also targeted at other minorities. Being gay used to be considered a mental illness for example. Japan, which was allied with Nazi germany in WW2 even sterilized disabled citizens. And on another Note, a requirement for trans people to get legal recognition is to be forcibly sterilized. Eugenicists believe that certain people should not reproduce, because they are "inferior by nature". Its unfortunate that this type of thinking is wide-spread, even if not in its most extreme form

Exactly!! You stated every point perfectly. We want to believe these things aren't part of our day to day life anymore but they definitely still are and some people end up accidentally acting in an ableist way because of ignorance and values that have been taught and still subtly remain in society. All I say is learning abt these topics is important before forming any opinion.
Guys what the fuck I was not ready for that
