We’ll get the FL/Yuri isekai story we deserve I’m so tired of authors including a female character who “falls” for the MC (although they put it in a joking way, tho they do lay in thick with the jealousy in some stories) but then they do nothing with it :c not that this story is the one that I particularly want it for, but you know some variety would be nice
I kinda knew they would assimilate since I saw the tie to a personality disorder, but that doesn’t stop me from being disappointed. As someone that’s working towards a psych degree, it’s super unrealistic, but not even in a satisfying way if that makes sense. I’m not saying that stories need to be 100% realistic all the time, but if the story’s main conflict is about mental health, you’d think they’d do more research /: I was kinda hoping they’d be different and keep the second personality (if they wanted to be interesting, have him take over although that’s not exactly the ideal for real life situations) but alas. Literally reminds me of every kdrama I’ve seen that has DID where they make the second personality more interesting(not necessarily better) or more appealing and then they realize they have to backtrack and suddenly show more of the “OG” personality bc they want them to assimilate for their rainbows and unicorn ending…
I'm quite ignorant on this but if you don't mind me asking, how high are the chances of people with DID assimilate? Or is it really too far fetch?
Yeah, unless the dude is in therapy and is receiving specialized mental health services that have knowledge of the disorder (especially since it’s a more rare disorder). it would be incredibly unlikely for the person to simply assimilate by the power of love (lol). This is even more true considering that people that even receive such mental health services may not even be diagnosed first with DID considering the symptoms can resemble other mental health symptoms of other disorders (borderline/bipolar depending on the other personality fragments’ actions). There’s also the fact that people with mental health issues tend to have comorbidity, aka coinciding disorders or illnesses such as depression and anxiety.
Damn. I mean I do know that the power of love wouldn't make such effect but I see.. Even therapy wouldn't be enough eh. Thanks for the answer (●'◡'●)ﾉ
Ah finally someone said this! As much as I enjoyed how the story turned out, I can't help but feel the way his DID is simply resolved by love which apparently cures all is unrealistic. But we all love good endings right (me too), so I'm okay with it. It's just I hope people don't immediately assume that love can cure all, even the worse of psychological disorders :)
Or maybe we could just have a fun, brain-dead-inducing time reading a piece of fiction about questionable age-gap gay sex.
And you can use you psych degree knowledge for better purposes than applying it to said questionable age-gap gay sex.
(=・ω・=)
Sameeee, I'm actually studying phycology too! And I can say that I'm pretty disappointed :(
However it's still a good story!
Remember that "the power of love" is NOT a cure to any mental illness, therapy is important people...
Sure, you’re definitely allowed to enjoy whatever you’d like. However the opposite does exist at the same time: people are also allowed to dislike things as well. Not to mention, applying my degree to whatever media I read actually helps because I know when I’m seeing red flags that may not be so obvious to others (not that it fully applies in this circumstance). Believe it or not, there are people that actually fall for these topics without any sort of doubt about the logic so it always helps to have at least someone who points out the things that are unrealistic. No doubt there are teenagers/younger people who have not had access to research that in turn DO have access to this type of media, so I don’t see anything wrong with providing the realistic advice to them. As someone who likes to question the media that they read, I feel no shame using my psych degree because I worked hard to have that knowledge. If you would like to not question whatever you read at all, go ahead. It’s fully within your right (●’◡’●)
say it louder for the people in the back!!
PERIOD
That has actually been able to scare me with the art style. Like??? There’s something so baseline creepy about the drawings that makes my skin crawl. Also, even tho confusing I’m sorta piecing stuff together (?) idk, I love the art style enough to continue regardless. I find it fascinating that some panels actually make it difficult for me to look at for too long. That and how I’ve been jump-scared a couple times (still wondering how that works…)
The FL makes me so unbelievably frustrated bc of how “naive” she is. Like the man literally proclaimed his love and she never addresses it, but then proceeds to chalk up all of his actions as coincidences every. single. time. Like??? Is /she/ the one with actual amnesia like what is going on??? Otherwise she’s amazing but damn it makes me wish it wasn’t a romance at this point and that she would reject him to put him out of his misery like wtf. I’m way more invested in the politics /:
This actually goes kinda hard? If you are able to suspend your disbelief about the lack of realism, it’s actually pretty cool
I guess I’m, as always, voting for the guy that never gets the love interest. I prefer the younger brother over the hyung so much more. Like, technically the ML likes the younger brother because of all of the accumulated interactions between them. And then they’re going to suddenly switch it around as if it was because of the one to two times he saw the hyung that that’s the reason he likes the hyung? No way man, what the hell. The younger brother does all of the work and puts time into it and then he’s going to just get left to the side like nothing? I guess I don’t like the older brother because yeah sure he’s cute and all, but he’s so frustratingly doing absolutely n o t h i n g to try and win him over until what I would say is too late but the author is going to do what every yaoi/bl plot does and tease you with the second lead potentially being the main interest but regardless of what happens, the main always wins. I don’t know, I guess I’m just wishing that there would be more yaoi/bl that would be surprising if that makes sense? Or I’m not even sure if that’s the right word for it lol, because regardless of who the ML ends up with, we would go, oh, saw it coming so I don’t exactly have a solution for it also I suppose I have a pretty big weakness towards enemies to lovers trope
he put the work in for his brother, not himself. why should he get anything when he agreed this was how it was supposed to go? you guys are being unreasonable
Listen i know Jaewoo is doing all this work but tbh hes wasting his time because Ohn is falling for Seowoo's little actions. Even in the raws you can see it. Ohn is more comfortable around Seowoo
I mean sure, he did it at first because of his brother but his new feelings for the ML are also valid. Just because his feelings came later once he got to know the ML as a person doesn’t mean his new interest is not genuine. I understand the conflict because it’s the whole “but the hyung liked him first” but idk, maybe because of the backstory of the hyung always having to rely on the younger brother and the younger brother always have to do absolutely everything for him makes me sympathize him more. I would hate to have a twin that forced me to do that but like I said, it’s not that I don’t like the hyung, I suppose I just don’t have enough interest in him when compared to the younger brother -shrugs- he just seems less of a interesting character to me. Perhaps that’s because his image seems to only be being clumsy, very very cute, and also incapable most of the time until recently. Also, it’s not like it’s a written contract between the brothers so I feel like there’s a little wiggle room, feelings and relationships are complicated, it’s not always stark black and white. Why shouldn’t the younger brother get something for himself for once? I suppose I like playing devil’s advocate a lot
I would like to maybe suggest that perhaps the only reason he feels that way is /because/ of the amount of work the younger brother put into trying to win him over. I think that without the large amount of effort the younger brother did, he wouldn’t have those sweet moments with the hyung, but I mean, I can’t argue against it too much once he gets to know both of them and actually knows who is who haha, I suppose I’m just not really satisfied how it built up, up until the recent chapters. I think I wouldn’t have too much of a problem with the hyung being the ending guy if there had been much more interactions between the two since it seems like each time (until the recent chapter) it felt like they met like what, three times and it was maybe at most for an hour, if even that. Idk, I’m just being picky
What? No.. it has nothing to do with Jaewoo "wOrK".because it was the real Seowoo when Ohn started feeling this way, u typed a whole book for no reason
I’m just saying that in my opinion, the hyung wouldn’t have been able to get close to him at all physically if the younger brother didn’t get him used to skinship and spent time with him which in turn got the ML used to the hyung since they look so similar. Sorta like exposure therapy or smth similar I guess, I’m honestly just talking out of my ass for that o part since I’m (clearly) not exactly a psychologist xD After all, he has a phobia of men so if the younger brother decided not to take up the part of helping him, I doubt that the hyung would have been able to interact with him at all because of whatever trauma the ML suffered in the past. Also it wasn’t for no reason, I just like to express my opinion just like you like to express yours. I like it when people are able to share their contrasting ideas and play off each other so it doesn’t really have anything to do with me trying to make everyone believe how I believe, you certainly have the right to like the hyung more, I’m just putting my own perspective out there o:
Ok u can have your opinion Yeah ig Seowoo wouldnt of gotten brave and face Ohn if it wasnt for Jaewoo but who knows maybe he would have since Ohn feels this way for Seowoo. Could we even call Jaewoo the ML when Ohn fell for Seowoo Who knows maybe he'll fall for Jaewoo ig but right now its Seowoo Ohn feels that way about
" but his new feelings for the ML are also valid"
perhaps buts the way he's choosing to handle these new feeling, by lying and actively getting in the way while still keeping up pretenses of "helping his brother" is just skeevy. he should back out now and tell his brother his intentions
You know what, I love it when I’m surprised, lets gooooo
sadly it's mistranslation
blonde is the shou(uke)
Dangggg, disappointed but not surprised /:
And also full of second hand embarrassment here we go
Lol we the only ones vibing here
For a moment I forgot how toxic and immoral this plot was bc of the art and I almost gave the guy credit bc he switched positions when he noticed and then asked if it hurt (aka the bare minimum). I was literally almost touched, like a dumbass. As if this isn’t about two stepbrothers fucking, with one of them being under hypnosis…
You just get so used to semes’ being like “that’s okay if it hurts, it doesn’t matter to me/you’ll get over it” (even if they’re bleeding!!) that one example of scant consideration from a seme has you losing memory of the horrible plot
I really hate the toxicity of it too.
Like, even in gay clubs were we fuck in the backrooms with strangers, and some of the nastiest guys that don't give a fuck about swapping cum and STDs-- you'll still get men that stop when the bottom says he needs a break. And then they move on to the next bottom, or just jerk off.
But these women artists are so heteronormative driven, that they don't know how gay men care about consent.
Even bdsm users especially care about consent.
I don’t know how i feel about the lack of consent being heteronormative too XD we’re fucked as a society lol
Absolutely
