Two useless things in this manhua:
1. The huge, unrealistic dick
2. The second couple
I don’t think it’s a sad ending. In chapter 1, because of the unbuttoned shirt, I think YW was being forced into some kind of physical intimacy but he resisted and ended up escaping. From what he said in the same chapter — that he shouldn’t have hope or expectations — it seems he meant he shouldn’t hope for a romantic relationship with HY. He believes that because of his own “greediness,” things fell apart. But as we know now, YW is far from being greedy. It’s probably that someone made him feel like he was an obstacle. maybe HY wanted to leave the industry, or his mother was pressuring YW. YW is simple minded, while HY isn’t very expressive, and we still don’t know what happened between YW and HY’s mother. So, in chapter 1, either HY would harm YW which is unlikely, since HY loves him deeply or YW would be pressured and targeted by HY’s enemies after they had some kind of conflict.
So are they gonna have sex for 4 chapters again??
lmfao
I don't care what people say, I like Ian. I don’t care if he slept with both of them. I mean hello, this dude was in a gang, he used to kill people!! Does he really have the luxury of thinking about morality when he’s not even committed to either relationship? And I think Ian will get hurt at last.

Good, purity culture is an illness.
Sorry i meant it has hence why they hate Ian for having sex with jo and tj
This means that even when the person who wounded you dies, their presence will always remain in your life. Even death can’t erase the pain and trauma they caused
Everyone here is offering psychological explanations. As a clinical psychologist myself, I understand that yes trauma and a childhood devoid of love or filled with violence can shape someone into a person who lacks empathy. But that doesn’t justify harmful behavior.
Because the truth is: you’ll find people from similar backgrounds who choose completely different paths. Your circumstances may explain your pain, but they don’t excuse cruelty.
I’m not here to judge what’s right or wrong on a personal level. But I will say this clearly: hurting others is never the right choice and it can never be justified. Not in reality, not in fiction.
It shouldn’t be romanticized or written off to make characters more "complex" or popular. Violence is not love. It’s not a tool for emotional depth. And as someone who works closely with the human psyche, I know exactly how deeply stories shape minds how they influence what we accept, expect, and even desire.
Writers and readers alike need to be more mindful. Because narratives matter.
im just sitting here after reading your comment like “damn. my psychologist could be reading yaoi rn and i’d have no idea”
LMAOOOO
REAL
CLOCK.
Well, we are human too. We also do all the naughty stuff. What matters is being ethical and professional. And I give all my trust and love and that's matter.
If you're curious, my personal reason for reading yaoi is bc I'm bi and live in a very strict environment. I always feel like I need something that breaks the rules and helps me breathe.
Other than that, I have a very busy mind sometimes it just feels best to giggle like a teenager, having fun. :)
i ain’t blaming you king, queen, royalty
YESSS LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK !!!
When the manhwa is so bad a clinical psychologist has to step in I’m cackling, SAY IT FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK BABE!!!
THANK YOU. I'm neurodivergent and i will never EVER think of using my condition/illness as an excuse to mistreat and abuse somebody like this. I'm tired of everyone justifying jks actions.
His situation is similar to Yeongwoon in Backlight only he chose to become a sadist, while Yeongwoon remained a sweetheart. What I mean is, there's always at least a small space to make decisions. Life might shape you into something dark, but you still have the choice to be less hateful.
Jinx actually had the potential to be something deeper, but unfortunately, it ended up being a typical cliché. I used to feel angry about that, but now I’ve come to accept that I can only enjoy the art for what it is without overthinking it.
Anyway, it’s just a story to read. But in real life, if you ever find yourself stuck with someone like that, leave and don’t look back. He will only torture you and leave you with nothing but pain and regret.
couldn't have said it better!
Ur so real for that. Hate to see it, but there’s really not much we can do about it. It’s a story in the end.
As an old soul in the yaoi/BL world, I have to say this one has some of the best sex scenes I've come across. The author clearly took the time to study the physics and intimacy involved in bed, the heat and chemistry really come through. That’s a difficult thing to pull off, and I appreciate it through an artistic lens
you're just overreacting bro shut up
we got a negative nancy over here
Imma touch u
Oh my-
Ain’t your business, lil fucker
I genuinely don’t understand why they write stories like this. I don’t think people nowadays actually like the fantasy of being at the mercy of a villain, a rapist, or a murderer who then becomes a lover. Even if someone wanted to write such stories, there are far better ways to depict these things. There should be a purpose, a plotline, a conflict—but in most cases, the lines seem intertwined in a way that leaves the reader puzzled because it feels like nonsense. You might understand how and why something led to this, but it feels rushed and illogical. This is my problem with most things I read nowadays. They can be good, but they often miss something essential, the logic of each character and solid storytelling.
