idk what it is with recent vibe check and media literacy but the comments here are so funny and exactly what’s wrong with yaoi spaces these. author isn’t portraying an ideal relationship; far from it. we are told from the start of jihwan’s obsessive nature, psychotic behavior and possessive nature taking a combo of hereditary mentality from his mom and environmentally learnt behavior from his dad. he seeks to possess sooyoung entirely, at the cost of his entire “normal” life cut off from people he likes, hangs out with or even dreams he has.
yall know this. you read thru this. you also read sooyoung’s own complicated relationship with this attention bc theres some reciprocated feelings towards jihwan even tho he bears it shamefully. you can see it in the way he was even frustrated with himself for jacking off to him. so wtf are yall here expecting some flowery love story lmaoo. ofc it’s supposed to be uncomfortable , tiptoeing on very uncomfortable lines of dubcon & blurring lines. it’s literwlly the very toxic nature of their relationship that’s been built for over 3 seasons now.
so i find the crying here so funny. you can always go back to fluffy yaoi, theres so many of them yet you’re here preferring to waste ur time whining about media you don’t like. maybe it’s not for YOU. queerness shouldnt only exist within “good” and “healthy”, it doesnt need to be all good relationships. this kinda moral superiority esp within fujo spaces are the exact reason ppl make fun of you btw..

harada is known specifically for pushing boundaries with deeply fucked-up, morally ambiguous stories… i kinda fear the future of our media literacy when comments here think any media that is not a happy ending or healthy relationship is romanticization and shit on her works here lol
harada deliberately focuses on exploring the absolute darkest corners of obsession, trauma & toxic power dynamics. the horror or psychological fallout is often THE POINT.. even a critique presented through an unflinching, disturbing lens rather than celebration. this is why i hate it when harada gets a hit tweet bc i rather gatekeep it to a bunch that understand that understand you actually have to think and engage critically when reading her stuff, not just passively consume & react. she doesn't spoon-feed easy morals or neat resolutions
the whole point is that moral bankruptcy and how people like mc can fall victims into it.. it forces u to stare into the mechanics of toxicity & trauma; the lack of a simple 'bad guy punished' ending is often the point about how deep that damage goes. if u want clear cut romance or straightforward romance youre in the wrong place
dont get me wrong I LOVE dark, gritty, morally gray interesting characters.. for me they don’t necessarily need to be morally right for me to have interest in them; it’s all about layered characterization and good writing. garon is a flat, boring and extremely caricature evil, i see nothing interesting about him and frankly i find the thirst for him as overrated as.. jaekyung. i guess refrigerator bulky bodies are all that matters these days for ppl to find a character hot. anyways this had potential… but overall this latest chapter proved to me that the story is indeed heading the most cliche direction.
no shame if you like the sloppy cliche smutty stories you do you but i find garon UNBEARABLE lmao
really not getting the hype about garon at all.. he's as attractive as a slimey croaking ogre to me but i guess you lose -10000 when ur literally the spawn of devil. this is one of the rare times im shipping with second male lead and im like ??? at comments calling him
boring like… does a healthy affectionate yet horny male lead scare u
