i hate this omfg
really i LOVE it when characters are into introspection and self discovery but really it disgusts me how much masturbation stuff and references to sex are present in this
everyone has been a teenager once, and as a matter of fact everyone has also been through those teenagers hormones BUT here it’s just WAY too much and it’s so fucking disgusting
maybe i’m overreacting but i felt like i was reading cp at some point, like yes teens being horny is a reality but please don’t throw it in my face with the excuse that it’s self discovery. really it only disgusted me to read kids masturbating, but what’s annoying me the most is that it’s normalized behind the pretext that this story is meant to be « realistic » and about self discovery, like i said earlier
i’ve read only the first 2 volumes but i frankly hated it. (and mind u i actually made the effort to buy the physical copy to support the author LOL)
anyways, to conclude and my give my finals thoughts on it i would like to clarify that’s it’s not the plot that’s bothering me and what themes are being discussed here, it’s the way those difficult topics are being represented. on another hand, i much preferred reading « happy of the end » (which shares a lot of topics in common with this one) because i felt like it was portrayed WAY better, and mostly because what was portrayed (even if disturbing) wasn’t excused or glorified by some pretexts but was being shown as a way to denunciate them.
while i know characters are flawed, i really didn’t like the way the top was forcing himself on the bottom. there really isn’t any morals to learn from reading this, instead of being about self discovery it felt like watching a toxic relationship growing between vulnerable individuals who are using their vulnerabilities to hurt each other lot like??
