When the abusive top has better consent when he’s (supposedly) drunk. Like wow, he had to intoxicated for the MC to feel SAFE enough to ask him to do it in a way that was enjoyable for both of them…
The way we all went from the previous chapter going ??? TOP??? TOPPING?? Oooohh!!!?? To immediate disappointment and a bit of horror/sadness
What was the point of this story lol, completely confusing. I’m guessing the gist is she got drunk and forgot the convo they had last night but uh…so what about that?
And we’ve all grieved his loss of never being the main lead, I’m already liking the childhood friend more than the main lead idk why but I can’t seem to build any interest for the ML in the story/dreams
Remember it's a story that she wrote in the past and in that time this type of manhwa was popular with the cold ml who falls in love first and it's sweet to the fl and the second leads are nicer than ml
I know lol, it’s like going to wattpad and reading those cringey stories from the 14 year olds that don’t know how to properly write yet (the dream tropes, not this actual story and how it is written). Always the same type of male lead and plot line glad to see that in my older age I’ve lonnggg since grown out of that misguided fantasy
Yep !! it was so popular back then but now when I read it I just feel the second hand embarrassment but it's still nice reading it as it's funny and I can recall some memories
(￣∇￣")
I’m not usually one who wants the FL to be all goody two-shoes (in fact that tends to annoy the hell out of me) but before she randomly (at least it seemed that way to me) turned on a switch that said “I’m going to pretend to act crazy now” it felt actually a little horrific which was great. The thing with him staring down the silver-hair while she punctured her throat with the spear was honestly a little dreadful.
I actually thought for a hot sec that it was going to take a turn and he’d suddenly switch to a different tune. Maybe him chaining (figuratively, or maybe not -shrug- lol) the FL to him so she wouldn’t be able to leave him bc he’s so obsessed with her and her having this horrid realization that she’s never been in control all along and now what is she going to do since the ML is going to be king one day and she’s got to stop him….or something idk lol.
I guess I suddenly thought it switched to an interesting psychological horror twist but nah, we got a lady unable to actually get a good revenge bc the dude basically died peacefully in his sleep via gas or smth and her actual revenge turned out it to be doing a (weird) monologue over a dead corpse. Oh yeah, and then deciding it was a good time to fuck in the same room as said corpse. Huh….
Maybe the author wanted to subvert expectations or smth bc these types of stories usually have a big shebang of a conclusion and they wanted to surprise the audience but it fell a short for me personally -shrug-
What type relationships the author themselves are into because???? This goes past masochism, this is just verbal, physical, and sexual abuse. I get the whole “what people write doesn’t mean that they endorse it” but like…what’s the point of having this person be so shitty other than frustrating the readers to the point where they no longer even like him after a so-called redemption era, whenever that may be (maybe the real S & M relationship is between the author and us readers since they keep doing this….)
I don’t know if it’s worse or better that at this point it feels as thought the abusive nature isn’t being sexualized like in other manga (never thought I would say that in my life bc I don’t like the rape trope. I think it’s stupid and unnecessary). Actually, it shows up in sex scenes, but feels incredibly unsexy. In fact, I’m going to be bold and say none of the sex scenes feel sexy because I’m too busy boiling with rage at Asshole #1 In The World(TM) to even appreciate the artwork sometimes. In some way, him being some random “normal” person with that abusive personality instead of a hit man or a serial killer is somehow worse if that even makes any sense at all
