What is this about the summary???
“They say time heals all wounds but sometimes time isn’t enough”
NO LET SUWA BE HAPPY DAMMIT
I’m a bit confused why what his ex said was so upsetting? It just seemed like he didn’t want to go into detail about their sex lives and dismissed the conversation since his partner wasn’t there.
I think Ahn thinks that his ex-bf sunbae does not really love him? Cos maybe the sunbae is jealous of Ahn before- like Ahn really excels in acting and in everything. And sunbae is frustrated that he cant be as good as Ahn. that probaby makes the sunbae loves him but at the same time, hates him too. Well that's just my opinion.
^this
The flashback isn't over yet. There's a little bit more of it in the next chapter and from what I understand (I could be wrong though) that's when the upsetting bit happens.
sorry meant to upvote
As someone who is some spectrum of ace, this latest chapter seriously icked me out. Sure his asexuality is trauma induced but you can’t just force the trauma of sex out with more sexual acts??
It’s like forcing a rape victim to have sex to get over their terrible experience.
The thing is he isn't asexual, he was raised by a shitty mom who taught him that having sex means being a bad peraon. He's the equivalent of someone who has been brainwashed by religious parents into hating having sex because it is immoral. That doesn't mean he should be raped, but it does mean he has been denying that a sexual side of himself exists (and probably hating himself for even having a sexual side.) Continuing the way he is will be very harmful to him psychologically.
He could still be asexual though. I agree that he shouldn’t think that sex is morally bad but he could still be asexual.
“his asexuality is trauma induced” is what I said and what I’m trying to say that he isn’t interested in sex because of trauma. My argument here is that what the ‘seme’ is doing is the worst way to go about treating such trauma.
Some people are born their sexuality and some are their sexuality for other reasons, including trauma. His trauma doesn’t invalidate his a sexuality. Sexuality is fluid and perhaps in the future he will no longer be asexual but in this moment he is and what is happening to him is wrong.
But sexuality isn't formed BY trauma. Example, a boy has it beaten into his head by his parents that homosexual thoughts are a choice and a sin. He spends his life suppressing those thoughts and dates only women and evendually marries and has children. Are you saying he is actually straight? Of course he isn't, he's just learned to deny that part of himself. Is he happy? Of course not!
Read my reply. I agree that in the situation you lay out that he’d still be gay...but that’s one person and one situation. Some sexuality is influenced by trauma because sexuality is fluid and is a spectrum. Somebody might identify as a lesbian and later realize they are pansexual. There are also many instances of people going in and out of asexuality. Right now, this character is not interested in sex and does not feel interested in it. And if we go by your logicnin the first place, he has said he is straight so what his friend is doing is even worse. Either way, asexual or heterosexual, this situation is disrespectful of his orientation.
Sigh, no, that's not how sexual fluidity works. A major trauma-induced change in how one views sex is NOT an example of sexual fluidity. It's an example of the human mind being unable to cope with the trauma it experienced. That's not a natural change in sexual orientation, it's a deep-rooted psychological problem. Normally it would require therapy but this is a fictional story... and a yaoi.
As for him being straight... did you forget that they are dating? Consensually ?
If you think pressuring and manipulating somebody into dating you is consent I’m seriously disturbed. Have you just been skipping over the parts where he thinks to himself he can’t wait for this to all be over and that he only went along with it because he felt like he couldn’t say no and didn’t want to lose his friend by rejecting him...? He has expressed his discomfort and how much he doesn’t want to be doing this to the reader numerous times. He has also ASKED for the time period of their “dating” to be reduced numerous times. It’s been expressed constantly that he is doing it out of obligation. He has also said he is not interested in guys every time he has been asked. He said he feels nothing romantic when they kiss. And my point to the latter half of your comment is that we can not say somebody’s sexuality isn’t valid just because it might be trauma induced. If a woman feels bisexual but insists on only dating women and labeling herself a lesbian because she has a fear of men....it’s literally nobody’s place to tell her no she’s bisexual and needs to act like it and it would be wrong to be a man that knows she is capable of being attracted to men but doesn’t want to date or have sex with them but to come on to her anyway, especially if she says she is a lesbian...it’s not anyone’s place to say “no you aren’t because I know you’ve liked a man before”. How can literally anybody but oneself know what your “true” sexuality is anyway? We all label our sexuality based on what we feel and think at the time. If you feel like you don’t want to date or have sex, no matter what reason, it’s valid to say you feel asexual and to label yourself as such...the labels are literally only there to help us communicate what we do and don’t want from others anyway.
Ah yes, there’s the death flag right there
NOOOOOOOOOO! Why are you saying that??? I mean your not wrong BUT DON'T SAY IT OUT LOUD.......yeah let's just ignore it....
me every time 1 of the mc do something wrong
I can’t see Kai turning into a tyrant unless the evil princess manipulated him to be that way and made it seem like he was worse than he actually was.
I'm not sure Edith was in the original novel, where he was the male lead and where he got the title 'Tyrant' from in the first place. And he is totally a tyrant. No matter how much she tried to change him in the beginning chapters he remained pretty rude and arrogant.
She was in the original novel which is why the MC knew that she was going to die even though she did nothing wrong. Granted the original sister’s personality might not have been as tough but still
Also he’s like 10. I’ve met plenty of stupid ass 10 year olds. Sure he’s rude and arrogant but aren’t a lot of kids like that to some degree because they still believe the world revolves around them? I wouldn’t call kids tyrants for being stupid.
And imagine a kid suddenly being told he’s the most important person in the kingdom. Of course a kid is going to let it get to their heads. I would have at his age. I totally would have trolled my older brother if I found out I was an empress. Like telling him to kneel. But would I have really meant it? Nah. And that’s what I’m seeing from this kid.
He’s an ass but he loves his sister in a realistically sibling way. He still sees the world naively and can easily be manipulated by those around him.
His personality isn’t great to begin with but I can see how he could have been turned into a tyrant by the princess who wants him out of the castle.
I’m just sad now
