There's so much cringe in the first chapter I don't know if I'll be able to handle the rest
Is there a lot of obvious and less obvious sexism in there? Is it another one of the plots with weak willed FL?
I dropped this a while back and just reread parts of it now so I'm biased but let me tell you this:
This story doesn't particularly have seismic but it has the cliché "rich ex is now pursued by an equally rich bitch who puts down the working class MC". The MC isn't too weak but not too strong either... she often cries and crumbles down but you can't really blame her when she works hard and then fails just because some bitch wants to out her down. I don't particularly recommend this if you're looking for a strong MC. This is basically like the plot of 90% of kdrama out there.
Poor sir Rowan he always has so much to deal with
Proud bisexual king, you go boy
I'd get the boy, what's one more if he's that good a seducing
I'd have fainted like a true "Lady", had that ever happened to me
This is so great, finally some female characters who react the right way when they get cheated on, the cheater is the bastard! Plus their friendship is so cute! And the usually overwhelming sexism present in shoujo is absent! Great art, great plot, loveable protagonists, this is definitely a great find, I had ground level expectations, I shouldn't have, this is one of the greatest romances I've ever read.
I feel like that end was kinda ABRUPT but the story was really nice and not cliche, with really nice communication in the main couple, plus the character growth
Honestly quite decent:
Good art
Good sex scenes (when they are consensual)
The rejection and the trauma post-rape are pretty well pictured -if you compare it to other rape yaoi, so the standards are low to say the least- and the mc is not weak minded like those characters that get forced in chapter one and fall in love in chapter two because the dude gave him food when he was sick or whatever
The female characters aren't in love with the love interest, and aren't petty, pathetic, creepy stalking bitches but are nice and sympathetic
Both characters grow and change, it's not completely one sided
Of course it still has a basic rape trope, which is a pain (when will mangaka learn that relationships can form even without rape, and that consent is sexy?) but at least it really played a part in the plot this time I guess
Many thanks to you who was patient enough to read my comment ;)
