I started reading the novel and dropped it. In my unimportant opinion, the author didn’t do a good job developing their relationship. Zhenya does evolve as a character but the way he physically approaches sex doesn’t change, which I really dislike. At some point, you think he would stop skipping the foreplay. That maybe he would properly prep Taekjoo so that he wouldn't be in pain. Unfortunately, he just forces himself on Taekjoo each and every time. He just shoves his dick in with no care or consideration.
On top of that, Taekjoo has internal dialogues along the cliche lines of, “I hate him, and I need to escape, but why do I lose myself when we have sex”? This works with some dynamics but not in this one. There’s barely any moments between them that would give birth to romance, love, or trust. The sex doesn’t even sound pleasurable with how it’s written. I get Zhenya is the psycho type, and I’m a sucker for those. These type of characters really don’t experience your normal, healthy kind of love. Which is fine, but it just doesn’t flow. The story telling is lacking. How are you having a fight between your head and your “heart” when every time you have sex it’s pretty much grape? When do we get to experience the turning point?
Now, I read far enough to see their relationship develop from enemies to partners in crime, but the “intimacy” or lack of remained the same.
I’m happy to push through remaining chapters if someone tells me it does get better I really hope the webtoon does a better job with these scenes
fr im on volume 6 and non con is still very imminent on a lot of scenes that taekjoo just gradually accepted it and probably started getting used to it that he doesnt even get mad at yevgeny (ex. constantly fkin g him in his sleep and etc. lmfao)
Seriously! I can’t recall where I stopped, but I know there wasn’t that much left. I have no hope for them. I get the whole “no” means “yes” vibe with these genres, but it CAN be written tastefully. However, this isn’t one of em
Where are all the folks who said they twink-tified Yujin, huh? What y’all gotta say now?
I can’t see this ending on a romantic note. I’m thinking it’ll end in tragedy or have an ambiguous ending that’s open to interpretation, like we make up our own ideas of what happened if they go their own separate ways or something?
I’m loving the story so far though! I’m so going to be holding my breath due to the suspense and anxiety when the drama hits its peak!
Things are about to get messy! I’m so ready to see Hwayoung go apeshit!
GO GET YOUR BEEFCAKE EYE CANDY BACK !!
and to think we all thought he was a green flag from the previews
My dude… It’s just a job, go turn in your resignation!
Also, like in what world did you think they would let go of a mafia boss who’s killed people? lmaooo
This is the dude who went undercover using his real name... Our guy ain't all that smart!
And the ones he was infiltrating didn't do a background check on him either... It's the dumb leading the dumb, pookie
Ugh you’re so right, I can’t help but argue at the screen as if they’re gonna hear me
Okay, so… They’re just gonna let that bitch ass who tried to kill them both alive ?!?!
It was decided that the best revenge is a life well lived. And Heeseong beat him within an inch of his life. With the consent of the elders!
Did that happen in the novel? Because Heeseong only hit him a few times and gave him a head butt but dude looked fine for the most part. He said he gave him a beating but he has like that small dog napoleon complex so I was like yeah, okay Heeseong, a “beating”, that’s what we’ll call it
Nah. In the novel he went feral. It even says that he knows where to hit someone to make it really hurt because he was a fighting dog.
In what world does Yujin look like a twink ?! Perhaps his face looks a little less wide, but he still looks the same ??
There’s similar styles from different artists that are this level of great but similarly, too stiff when it comes to movement and facial reactions. If it looks a little softer, I hope that means we’ll experience more feels due to the improvement in the art style as we enter this new season
no literally also, maybe theyre getting confused bc this is the first time we really see him vulnerable like this…so obviously hes not gonna have his mean mug on lmao. the only twink thing abt him is the fact that hes hairless
Yessss, they saw him cowering in fear which is rare compared to his usual displays of bravado.
Mind you, the art is still amazing! I just hope to see more ‘exaggerated’ expressions
I’m sorry… Jay… FIDGETING ?! !!
The caught me off guard
*that
Seriously ! I love it though !! Had me squealing and everything lol
Yup
How is he this dumb ?! Nothing about Xinlu is pure, innocent, or good! He’s twisted and manipulative. Did he also forget he tried forcing himself on Tay like twice ?! He’s such a sucker for a pretty face
right i’m so not a fan of xinlu i get pissed off when he shows up
