I feel for the MC and I like him but the love story felt rushed and was more interested in portraying the the sordid sh** (SA more than once, domestic violence). I don’t mind the seedy stuff if it’s balanced out by the romance but in this case it was not.
Trigger warning cuz no one said it. Gang in the first panel of the first chapter. Ffs.
and in basically every chapter after that. the whole manhwa is about rape pretty much. modern day storywriting i guess
i’m sorry girl but i don’t think you’re reading this properly. after reading this manhwa, if you’re reading Jinx and the likes (emphasize on if), that’s the bl manhwa you should drop. now that’s “modern day story writing”
No one said anything about dropping or continuing the story. Just pointing out there’s a lot of SA in this story. People have varied tolerances for triggering subjects and if it helps people prepare themselves before reading or avoiding it all together, then the comment served its purpose.
yeah man i get what you mean. thank you for giving us a trigger warning. i was just sad that @kuroxxi didn’t want to give this manhwa a chance T_T because it’s actually better than even some of the most popular bl manhwa. but like you said people have difference tolerance so i get why kuroxxi dropped it at chapter 11. can you recommend one or two bl manhwa with beautiful art, good plot, and no grape? thank you kai
what are you even trying to say...? i don't read jinx? i don't read any other ultra popular yaoi manhwa that's full of rape and assault? and similarly i'm not reading this manhwa either because its the same rape fantasy plot, just lesser known in popularity. i don't get what you're trying to say.
Okay but the translator saying ‘Asscape’ when the egg flew out in chapter 2 is top-tier. Gj translators.
— but the uploader covering up the bunny girl watermark with the smiling lady in pink is hilarious to me. Like, way to make it obvious something was stolen.
This one was decent, unrequited love, from childhood friends to f*** buddies to lovers in a framework of their creative pursuits as a cobbler and tailor. But chapter 4? A jealousy arc that turned into such a dumb plot twist just so these two would admit their feelings. It was like the author ran out of ideas so of course let’s throw in some sexual harassment and bodily harm. Just gonna ignore chapter 4 completely.
Is it even a proper Japanese bl if they don’t somehow end up at an onsen and have sex in yukatas?
Ummm wtf. Based on author's other work I thought this was gonna be lighthearted but with most BL for some reason (especially when one of your leads is 'easy') it takes a dark turn. By chapter 3 out of nowhere suddenly blondie is a sex worker with a sugar daddy (NOT MC) and by Chapter 4, the dude forces blondie to service him and his friends. So gross. Imma pretend this ended when Blondie won the t-shirt design contest and ran off to a better life.
The story premise is shady BUT I think the author did a great job exploring the nuance of a complicated situation-- the grief, the guilt and the denial. Even though there are some love scenes, the whole thing is never seedy or tawdry.
Get gr00ming allegations a lot especially if they knew the other lead in childhood but this one DEFINITELY IS. ML makes a proposal to an 8 year old and shows up 12 years later to collect on the promise of a kid (dumb because minors can’t consent properly to sex let alone marriage) and if he had stayed gone for those 12 years maybe he’d skate by. But come to find he used to do ‘big brother’ things with the child MC while thinking they’re engaged?? Hell naw.
