I grinned through this entire chapter. Fucking cute.
This is the enthusiastic smut I'm here for! Also the knots. Always here for the non-omegaverse knots.
It's not funny that people are disappointed. You can have a red flag character who isn't a rapist. There are plenty of ways to be an awful person without sexual violence. Falling back on it is cheap, lazy writing.
literally. I've read a story having a literal diagnosed psychopath ml who never rapes the the mc. my fav bl has a murderer as the ml (tbf he has his reasons) and he never rapes the mc either. u can write red flags, black flags even, and toxic characters and stories without including rape. it's insane how people are so used to it now, and find it funny when others actually still have it in them to find it disgusting.
Thank you!!!
And I'm not even opposed to sexual violence as a plot point 100% of the time, if it's treated like what it is. But 99% of the time it's played off as something hot and it's vile.
Please tell me the name of those stories btw, I'm interested.
Fiction isn’t reality, hope this helps!
But sadly cheap lazy writing is
lol @Aki I'm well aware of that, I'm not sure what your point is?
@aki literally nobody's saying that u dumb fuckass hoe ppl are just disappointed at the turn the story took, also fuckass coward blocking people cuz u can't handle differing opinions
if you're asking me,,, the first ones called the beast must die (it's got rape but not between the ml & mc) & the seconds ones called murderer llewellyn's enchanting dinner invitation (PEAKKKKK, I highly recommend it)
This is a fantasy, people find this appealing because it’s detached from reality. The characterization makes sense. The turnout of events given the genre makes sense. This is not lazy or cheap writing, at all.
You’re just sad angry the author didn’t follow your preferred mode of storytelling or characterization.
Also, I just don’t like being notified with ignorant self-absorbed opinions on media I enjoy. Hope this helps!
@Aki And I don't like being notified of comments glorifying and drooling over rape. We're all entitled to our own opinions, and to voicing those opinions. Hope this helps!
I was, thank you!
idk why they're going out of their way to reply to people who are disappointed, & then blocking them & saying its cuz they don't wanna be notified just mind ur own business then?? like jobs bro, jobs
also for the beast must die, there's quite a bit of rape & SA in the beginning (again, not between the mcs). also the art is a little.... different. BUT IT GETS BETTER!!!! & it's a rly good read!!
The thing I noticed tho is that based on their most recent tweet it seems like the author is very much purposely writing this chapter to depict something that's non-consensual (they said that they'd been worrying about this chapter since before the comic even started but ultimately chose to write it in this way). I don't know how this'll affect the story in the long run, but. Ah well if it makes you uncomfortable, then it makes you uncomfortable, yknow? All I'm saying that it was probably intentional
I actually didn't know that, so thank you for the info! That does affect my thoughts about the reasoning for the turn of events a bit, though I'm probably still going to get off the ride.
That's interesting! I'm still going to drop this for now, but I'll come back when at least the first season is completed to see where the author is going with the story

Uno gets raped in chapter 20. The amount of people cheering for it makes me sick.
I just reached the end of season 1 and I need someone to tell me how long the angst with Shin and his whole “you need a queen” shit lasts into season 2 cause I’m gonna riot.
Whole s2 lmao
Once he wraps his head around Soobin being hope, I assume that'll just make him cooler and hotter tbh.
In a lot of ways this manga is just fundamentally different from most, and I think it's noteworthy for that if nothing else. I really, really appreciate the emphasis on consent - especially consent WITHIN RELATIONSHIPS - and the fact that this manga actually acknowledges that penetrative sex isn't the only kind of sex there is - something almost completely absent in BL smut - I'm disappointed that they still end up there. I was really hoping it would end with them finding other ways to enjoy sex, especially since when it became the focus/goal is when the issues really started. So in that sense I think the first chapter is the best and most satisfying. We even got Hiro in a pro-choice shirt! Definitely haven't seen that in any other BL.
Honestly I don't think this couple was compatible, I kinda would've rather seen them break up and explored things with their respective side characters. But in a way that frustration is even more frustrating because it IS so realistic.
I love how one side character pointed out that the time you spend NOT having sex is always going to be greater and expecting sex to solve everything isn't realistic. Compatability is important, but all the rest is what makes up a relationship IMO.
If you enjoyed the sex ed aspect of this, I'd highly recommend The Good Teacher. It's one of the vanishingly few BL that I'd actually recommend taking sex tips from.
Ah, the sweet smell of communication. Love it. They’re so fucking sweet when they pull their heads out of their asses.
I also really appreciate that the author/artist didn’t give Jiwon the typical tiny bottom dick. He’s pretty jacked in his own right and doesn’t look delicate at all despite being smaller in stature. You don’t see that often.
