I haaaaaaaaateeeee when ppl feel pleasure by dominance, I haaaaaaaaaate sadism. It would be a more interesting story if she wasnt sexually into dominating him and instead wanted to lift him up. The art is so good, I’m disappointed for myself
The author didn’t need to make the freaking sub a kid who was brought up in an orphanage and then had to work as an escort while having debt to then becoming a boytoy. He is economically, socially, and systematically disenfranchised already, why did the author write the damn sub to be disadvantaged in every way possible with no exits????????????? Why did they choose to write it like this specifically????????????????????? Would have been more interesting if he was financially on her level or higher. She has all the power in every sense possible right now and it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth
Honestly he was cute enough to be a model, idol, or actor and he chose to be an escort… can’t really blame her for that and even tho he’s all of those things listed he still has some power over the main character because he’s something she’s always wanted but could never have so while he may not have monetary value he definitely has something also so people’s life trauma manifest in their kinks but clearly you don’t like the book so I recommend moving on ! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Used her?? Do you think she’s dumb enough to be used???? She seems absolutely ruthless, only time she’d be used is if she’d let it happen or chooses to do so. You’re delusional, at this point in the story there is nothing that indicates this was his choice or if he had other options he wouldn’t choose them, perhaps later in the story it could be revealed to be that (that would make the author more fucked up than I thought) but you can’t say that at all at this point
She’s buying all this shit for him and letting him stay in her house I’m pretty sure if he wanted to be an actor or model she would’ve made it possible for her boy toy. “Nothing indicates it was his choice” but he begged her daughter not to tell on him so he could stay yeah… I’m not saying he isn’t a victim but he’s not just some innocent whittle boy being taken advantage of
Shit, author’s giving up on keeping ‘Hikaru’ exclusively an incomprehensible eldritch horror, ch 38.3 is like them negotiating with that concept that they philosophically dug into and explored meticulously in the beginning, like likening human’s comprehension of things ‘Hikaru’ likes to that of the understanding of cats enjoying kneading, we can never truly understand it beyond it being an indication of contentment and an activity they enjoy. There could never be an overlap of such deep understanding of sensations between humans and entities such as ‘Hikaru’, ‘Hikaru’ could never understand the concepts of love and death like humans do. But ch 38.3 shows the author moving on from it into monsters and humans can both change, everyone can change. I guess it makes sense, if we stuck with ‘Hikaru’ forever being an incomprehensible eldritch horror (which I found refreshing) then there is no more character development for it. Or maybe they could have done something with the profound loneliness they gave him, something other than Yoshiki being the only one where ‘Hikaru’ doesn’t feel so lonely. *sigh* Let’s see if they do anything new with the humanizing the monster trope.
I like the way his character arc is progressing but I’d have to agree with you. It’s not necessarily groundbreaking work. I am really excited to see Yoshiki’s character progression though. I think it would be pretty neat if they parallel Hikaru’s positive character arc with a negative one for Yoshiki. Like, what if he continues abandoning his morals because he wants to stay in support of Hikaru, but in the end he ends up becoming more of a monster and unrecognizable to the actual entity itself. That would be pretty cool ╥﹏╥
they gave my boy blondie a proper backstory finally, you all love him now but he had no depth and was too perfect before. What you are all forgetting is that we still don't know Hae il's backstory and all of y'all will probably shift your opinion of him too once his backstory is elaborated on (i don't know his backstory I'm just hypothizing), also man boob cleavage
