Every time I come back to read the comments here, I realize all over again how fandom and tastes have changed over time. Like there are a shit ton of stories with problematic characters that are super famous and loved, yet somehow always hated on when it comes to the new gen readers. I don’t wanna call it the woke wave but it kinda is. People are so less tolerant towards shitty characters nowadays and feel the need to be vocal about it when really, it’s not a matter of morality but taste. If this story was published like ten years ago, I swear it definitely wouldn’t be getting as many hate comments as now because it would be considered a normal entertaining trope for some and those who didn’t like it would just move on and find something else instead of debating about it all over the place lol
And what is the problem with people voicing their own opinions on how shitty a shitty character is?
so you're a rape apologist? got it.
Amazing how people can misconstrue literally anything you say these days lmfao where in my comment did I even talk about rape or defending jaekyung?
Nothing. Again, I’m just talking about the change in comment trends from being actual story reviews to just social media forum style rant. But it does sound ridiculous and annoying considering some keep returning again and again to leave the same comments about how this character or that character is bad and whatever when clearly, they ARE enjoying the story because they haven’t dropped it yet lol
Where did op say that rape is okay?
Thanks for speaking
But bro look at those dumb responses lmaooo
HEREE WE GO AGAIN. Woke this woke that, ITS RAPE! A STORY THAT GLAMORIZES RAPISTSSSSSS!!! GET THAT IN YOUR FUCKING SKULLLLL!! Fucking braindead idiots. Whether you like it or not, it’s insane to complain about people calling out a story for what it is. Call it what you want, but my morals encompasses even the fictional world, that’s how it should be, if not, then there’s clearly something wrong with your morality. Stupid fuck.
Ah yes, here we go again with the self-proclaimed morality police screaming at pixels on a page. Btch, don't tell me what to read and how. You’re acting like fiction is out here committing crimes in real life. Newsflash: it’s fiction. Nobody’s ‘glamorizing’ anything, unless you seriously can’t tell the difference between storytelling and real life. That’s a you problem, not a ‘society collapsing’ problem.
You don’t get to force your personal morality on everyone else just because a story makes you uncomfortable. If your brain short-circuits over characters and plots, maybe just don’t read it? The rest of us can handle separating reality from fiction without spiraling into performative outrage. Touch grass, breathe, and remember : it’s literally not that deep
A story’s purpose is to tell a story. Doesn’t matter what content it has. It’s not a book’s responsibility to teach you morals. That’s your parent’s job. Good for you for saying rape is bad which, btw, is sth literally everyone who enjoys this manhwa knows. They’re not reading the story because they enjoy rape or think it’s good. They’re reading it because it’s a story with a plot and entertaining characters. It’s not that deep. And I swear to god everyone who enjoys this story does not glorify rape in real life lmfao
If you can’t separate between fiction and reality, and insult actual real people for being able to do so, that’s all on you my friend. Your morality is the one that’s messed up if you’re going as far as calling people names for reading a fictional made up story that hurts no one.
“Can’t tell the difference between storytelling and real life” look who’s talking. The same bitch who thinks some pixels on a screen prevents them from having the same morals they perpetuate in real life. Oh i’m sorry, that I don’t like supporting rapist characters and stories that justify their characters. I’m sorry i’m such a woke baby in this generation that cares about fuckass rapists stories that people seem to glamorize. I’m sorry, I don’t condone bitchass fuckers like you who think they have some sort higher ground when talking about fictional stories and how were supposed to interpret it just bc they’re old as fuck. Fuckers like you would sit down and read child porn just to get off and say “its just fictional” like the dumb bitch you are.
So, when I go in this site, and read child porn, a story that clearly is about pedophelia but is romanticize to the point that people don’t care anymore and keep reading it like a “normal” story, that does make my morality fucked up? Cause rn, my dude, you’re the one who sounds like someone who needs an awful lot of thinking. Because while you’re replying to me about my hurtful wittle words, there’s a bunch of people who reads this shit and thinks “oh that’s not rape cause he’s gonna have a character developement
It seems like all we wrote above goes over your head lmaoooo I suggest you calmly reread my comment and take time to think, proving how dumbfk you are ^^
You equating reading a dark story to committing crimes is like saying playing GTA makes you a serial k. See how ridiculous that sounds? If a piece of fiction rattles you this much, close the tab and move on instead of barking.
Ppl can discuss and enjoy stories without your crusade of performative morality. It’s fiction, not a criminal confession. Chill.
How old are you? If your underage, gtfo here, I'm not wasting my time with you, but if you're an adult... Cringing yourself.
Ah, there it is XDDD the nuclear ‘child porn’ comparison. It's called "Shouta" btw. You’re proving my point, you can’t separate fictional genres from reality, so you go full moral crusader mode. It exists whether you like it or not. If you really cared, you’d go after the authors or publishers instead of cosplaying as a hero online. Screaming on forums isn’t activism, it’s just noise. Either act IRL for your causes or admit you’re just here for the drama
Fiction exists, dark genres exist, and you don’t get to burn the entire library because one shelf makes you uncomfortable.
Mate, there is absolutely not a bunch of people who think it’s not rape because he gets character development. You’re just pushing your ideals and delusions onto others at this point. The people you claim to hate don’t even exist. No one is glorifying rape, no one enjoys pedo content because they are pedos, and no one reads dark genre thinking that’s the kind of relationship they want in real life. It’s literally all in your head. So I don’t know how to break it to you, but the people you abhor don’t actually exist. Just say you don’t like the story because it’s uncomfortable for you. It’s that simple.
I 100% concur.
They are beginning to infiltrate other old series that was once beloved and it confuses older readers. It is the "woke" propaganda that feeds them nonsense and since the internet (in America) has little to 0 regulation and the mods aren't really watching, it's a free for all.
The 2nd half of Gen Z and the new generation shouldn't be reading this material in the first place, but they are. You can usually tell based on their comments and behavior. It gives "attention seeking" vibes.
Honestly, we the avid reader who genuinely like and analyze what we read, or simply turn our mind off and just read for fun, do not have entertain them everytime because it's what they want. And if you do, hit them with logic they can't comprehend.
Not everything is considered "voicing your opinion". This are terms like "disrupting the peace", "insightment of violence", and even "false narrative". They are not considered opinions.
Disagreeing with a person or 2 is considered an "opinion", disagreeing a 50-60% of a fandom (which can be in the millions) and saying out-of-pocket nonsense is "disturbing the peace".
Just because "you're free you say what you want", doesn't mean you should. There are ways to covey and articulate your thoughts and share it with the community without being a nuisance.
But I'm just voicing my opinion.
It baffles me as well. Logos must've stepped out to get milk.
I don't believe you are serious here based on the way you're replying. You're overselling it to fit a narrative and it shows.
Weather you truly believe the words you shared or not, it's obvious that you aren't really serious about what you're saying.
I've seen enough of the same regurgitated talking points to get the sense when someone is serious or not.
But that's just my intuition.
These backhand examples are strange. You know the answer. But here's my question:
How do you know there's CP on this site? How do you know it exists on here? The only way you could find is if you yourself searched it. Why are you searching for it? To prove a point or...
It's simple, indeed.
Girl stfu, im not talking to no enabler. If you can’t seperate fiction from reality, then just say so. Your tab says it all weirdo.
Ew ew ewwwww, all I hear is “I can and wanna read child porn even if it doesn’t aligh with my values” child pronouns is rape, rape is rape. Whatever the fuck is wrong with u, fix it.
Ok mister psychic. But I am, i’ve been serious. That’s why kids these days got some fucked up views cause they can’t differentiate between reality and what the fuck they can and cannot read. You’re one of those fucked up hags who think that just bc a lot of people were enabled before to read actual criminal shit turned into love story, you think you have some sort of higher knowledge. Gtfu, you guys disgust me.
Absolute mind boggling shit. Holy fucking shit how blind you are. You sound exaclty how a pedophile would talk when being questioned lmfaooosjsjskw. Anyways, you’re wondering how I know? Bitch go at the top ten, go anywahere at the home site on this shit, click one story and see the reviews, its all there. Ik this shit cause eveytime I try to find a good story to read, I end up in literal child porn where the reviews says it all, its disgusting. If that doesn’t disgust you, then smths wrong with u. Plain and simple.
You guys re so fucking strange…holy shit
Fucking bitch ass wont ket me reply
This all for me? I'm honored to know I live rent free in your mind.
Lmaoooo
Fucking hell. Im not gonna talk to someone who thinks reading child porn is ok. Say what you want fucking weirdo. You guys disgust me.
Ew ew ewwww absoult fucking disgusting. You talk exactly like how rapists talk. Weirdo fuckers on the internet who watch child pron and say its ok, “its just fiction”, fucking disgusting. I hope you weirdos rot.
Yes my love. All fuckass weirdos live in my head rent free. You can go back to masturbating on rape stories, I just found out my replies were in fact being read. Glad to know you know how much I fucking despise weirdos like you
You too love, go back to your fictional child porn, I don’t wanna disturb you anymore(づ￣ ³￣)づ
Well, hopefully there's a royal apartment for me alone.
Time to gtfo here mate xD why are you still here? I swear ppl like you are so entertaining, don't like yaoi but there they are loooool seek help
There is. Fuckass weirdos.
Don’t like yaoi? You mean don’t like people who can’t differentiate between a normal character to a rapist one? Fcuking 9 year olds I swear, acting like people shitting on a bad character is is hurting their delusions of fetishizing. Go read a book.
I believe it's safe to say that they are a "passionate" individual
No shit sherlock
Btch XD yes, you don't like yaoi otherwise you won't complain on a fictional character raping another fictional character, gtfo here I said, go educate yourself about what you're ready mf ape

Fucking 11 year olds…
ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Dude let it go.
LMAFO I WAS FUCKING RIGHT! I knew it! Only an 11 year old would talk like that. So fucking dumb HAHHSHSHSHSHAHAH
I ain’t letting some kid talk to me about morals when they’re literally porn addicts. And that includes you
Okay. Well peace be with you, I suppose ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Something’s off in this sentence, you do realize you just put ‘kids’ and ‘that addiction’ in the same sentence? That's disturbing. Maybe one of them is wrong, both eventually. And there you are talking about morals, ironic.
Stop replying you dúmb, only to humiliate yourself.
No
@Shiki Are you not? A porn addicted kid? Cause you sound and act exactly like one. The only people who defend rapist characters like jaekyung would be a porn addicted kid, or just a porn addict.
“Something’s off” lmfaoo fucking dumb bitch, trying to sound like you found something out. Focus on school.
I see people calling the MC a pushover, but no that’s 100% a victim of emotional abuse. His crush literally used his feelings against him while saying things like “you’re special” or “I don’t want you to leave me” or “I’ll treat you better” while giving him rings and stuff. It’s a lot worse than being a pushover. The bastard kept trying to pretend he was jealous or angry when the MC does something away from him and it’s extremely controlling while also giving the MC tiny buds of hope. Don’t forget, he literally ISOLATED the MC and made the MC have ZERO friends aside from him. That’s textbook emotional manipulation there.
It’s clear from the younger bro’s thoughts he knew exactly wtf he was doing with his words and actions, like when he did something nice giving chocolates just because he knew the naive MC would fall for it. Honestly, younger bro got off so easily compared to the ten years he made the MC suffer.
I’m surprised people thought this story was mid because it turned out completely different from how it started and ended beautifully to me. The two characters had a lot more depth to them than I originally thought and I felt that the story was incredibly mature. There was no over exaggerated argument or drama because the two of them truly understood each other’s loneliness and pain. There’s this feeling of calmness and maturity when dealing with the two main characters and I loved it.
Ironically, their relationship was only possible because of the ‘wrong’ love they had with their exes. It might be a little uncomfortable for some people since their relationship is sort of like a rebound, but I think the point is they made something new out of that terrible birthday night that ended up saving them in the end. This really deserves a higher rating.
Read this when I was still just a high schooler. Almost a decade later and this is still such a great read. The characters are great, realistic, and genuine. Especially props to the author for writing Chizu because she really does come off as the child that is forced to be more mature than others—yet she still retains her childlike nature.
Also my opinion of Kana still hasn’t changed over the years, only grew stronger too because damn is she such a bad mother. Red flags everywhere.
I think this might be the most natural way I’ve ever seen two characters get together in BL manga. There’s no ‘aha’ moment or exaggerated moments of blushing. They just somehow realized it in their heads and accepted it with very mature calmness. It’s so beautifully written and meaningful without having to use any dramatic plot devices. They just slowly fell in love, simple and nice.
My soul has been healed, I am blessed and going to heaven after reading this. This was really really good.
I love how everyone came back the moment we all got news that the blue haired guy might be the ML instead LOL
I remember everyone raging when they heard the yellow haired beast was the novel ML, so I’m happy they actually subverted our expectations because many people (including the novel readers) preferred anyone else but the beast kid too (no hate towards him, but it’s the truth).
Literally. I had this subscribed still for whatever reason, but never touched it until I saw that blue haired guy might be the ML. Binge read through it www
YES. This is what I call peak enemies to lovers trope. When love and hate intertwines and you just keep wanting their eyes on you no matter what form uGHHHH it’s so good I want more //screams
Ah yes, my favorite flavor of yaoi: match my freak
