"today, I must"
today you must NOT please turn around and go back to where you came from.

(this is gonna be a bit of a long hot take so be warned)



let's get this straight, I totally get the comments feeling repulsed by the dubious consent/rape here, but most of those comments are completely missing the point. Jaxx is writing this scene with the literal intent to underline the tragic climax of them finally confronting a major plot point. Let's also not forget that Under the Greenlight isn't a fluffy BL by all means, so there's going to be heavy elements like murder, gang-fighting, manipulation, and in this case, dubious consent. Nevertheless, we're also forgetting that Matthew is literally not in his right mind to even make decisions, let alone even realize the ramifications of what he's even doing. Jin even gave consent to Matthew so he could help alleviate the drug in Matthew's system. That doesn't excuse Matthew's actions however, just helps explain them. That being said, I totally understand if dubious consent/rape isn't up someone's alley and I wont shame those who feel completely uncomfortable seeing those topics. However, comparing this scene to the likes of other BL which actually DO have rape for no plot reason/writing purpose (looking at you Champagne and Roses) or getting angry at the presentation is missing the point. Matthew is literally intoxicated out of his mind and cannot fathom what he's doing, Jin gave consent (though Matthew isn't being very caring and gentle with it), and Jaxx wanted to write this scene as a tragic sort of climax (very much in bounds with the macabre setting and mood of Under the Greenlight).

"it's always been hard for me to make decisions"
TRUST ME WE KNOW

I seriously think the author has a background in cinematography. The way they present certain panels and capture emotion is so profound..Something you'd only find in movies where dialogue doesn't fully convey what the mood and feeling is of the characters. I'm just so blown away I had to yap a bit about the presentation of this manwha

with no due respect I also feel like vomiting...this chapter made me sick to my stomach jfc

I'm happy yet annoyed at how low our bar has become. Like when he ACTUALLY ASKED CONSENT??? I was over the moon. Same with him actually complying to Dan's requests. Fuck it man our standards are so low but I'm so fed

respectfully what the fuck was that ending

this was the most stomach churning, mind twisting, tear inducing confession oml the wait is so REALLL

in my 7 years of reading manwha I have never agreed with a quasi villain shit talking a main character☠ jaekyung really is a pos tho lmaoo

as much as I love aiden he's giving sangwoo's friend from Semantic error that fucked up the relationship between him and jaeyoung for no reason because she suggested he play "hard to get" so please for the LOVE OF GOD don't listen to aiden

AND YOU WHAT??? BROTHER??? PLEASE ANSWER AND YOU WHAT??? PLEASE SHARE WITH THE CLASS?? ARRRGHH I CANT TAKE THE CLIFFHANGER

stop the way I couldn't focus because of the sfx

He bought me for 50 sacks of rice. Soongap is nearly beaten to death by his master when friendly gia...

what past plot? what bad treatment and extortion of my feelings? what lies and deception? baby, that's all in the past let's talk about now and these desserts and open communication

I was waiting for jk to lose omfg
also dan is sadly beyond help with how delulu he's being over that statement. He just meant you were part of his team brother

I LOVE the governmental scheming coming from yeonjo. Clearly, we've also been fooled cause we all thought he forgot his revenge when in actuality, he's just been sweetening up the governor. It reminds me of danmei characters like shen lanzhou

as stupid as this sounds I just can't bring myself to absolutely fucking despise do-hyeok. How he communicates and expresses himself are so infuriating but at the end of the day, I don't even get mad, just disappointed. He's gone for so long treating others like total shit so he has 0 clue on how to actually behave when someone is being partial to him. I know this doesn't excuse anything he's done, but the world around him really hasn't helped with his character either. I just really pity him. I'm only hoping he actually looks past his stubborn pride and actually admits how he feels once and for all... This manwha is making me feel weird for such an annoying and hateable character oml
