It's still so wild that the same person wrote this side story as well as the AMAZING GL version. The GL version practiced consensual bdsm as well as proper communication with your partner. (Also they had my fave dynamic of Golden Retriever Himbo Lesbian x Black Cat "tough on the outside soft on the inside" lesbian like a healthier Catradora)
Idk this is meant to be a dark romance but still crazy to think about lol
I read the gl but I havent and im not planning on reading the first on, is it good?
No, not at all in my opinion. It just felt some sort of r*pe fantasy manga with non con all over the place. It made me so uncomfortable that I just stopped reading it. The Gyerin (the black haired woman) from the GL version is coerced into a threescore with a man by Dona (I think that was the female lead from the main story) and Gyerin has a huge aversion to men.
And then Byun, even though he was somewhat a jerks was also straight up abused. The ML was spineless and Dona was an awful dom. I wouldn't recommend but you'd have to see for yourself for your own opinion but it's not good
Can ypu imagine if the Priest didn't say that bullshit? That man (jinjoo husband) put her through so much trauma and danger and the priest is saying it's HER job to make the first steps towards forgiveness. (I also don't trust that priest his eyes remind me of the thugs)
Religious trauma is so real. The Religious ties to marriage is also so scary and damaging. Marriage is essentially a contract to love and respect each other until death but if someone breaks a part of the contract they should be allowed to get a divorce.
But certain religions use marriage as an advantage to abuse, cheat, and disrespect their partner, "Yes I'm neglectful and constantly put you in danger but YOU swore to be with me under the eyes of (insert God here)" and it's sad.
Of course not all Religious ppl are like this but there is enough for there to be a pattern in regards to allowing abuse in marriages and condemning the ones who want a divorce. Idk
This is actually so sad. I just want m girls to get some PROPER therapy and heal.
SLAYYY
First of all, this is clearly a comedy type BL. The hitting is used for comedic effect, like The Seme is usually the girl in these types of romance who constantly hit her love interests for pursuing her and ML is fine with it.
The troupe is old and ppl are over it but it's clearly not something to be taken seriously. Also if one of the two were the toxic one, it would be the use.
I think since it's the bottom is the chaser y'all don't see it (he stalks the seme and has a weird shrine dedicated to him! crazy lol! And is creepy about being hit)
Yeah, but the end of the day this manga isn't serious and is meant to be a little outrageous and a comedy. So this one doesn't fall under the toxic bl troupe.
I told Y'ALL!! I TOLD Y'ALL THAT THE HISBAND IS A NO GOOD RAT BASTARD! Can you believe I had someone say to me, "Her husband isn't manipulative and didn't abuse her." GIRL! Look at the material. He's a liar and all this psychological abuse is crazy!
At this point I need to find a way into this story myself so I can beat his ass! And that blonde guy too! Jinju could've seriously been assaulted and all her husband can do is go. "UwU it was a silly debt ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶) I want to punch him with knife and push him on a pile of Legos.
youre sooooo right. the proof is in the pudding !!!!
@bom_bom since I can't reply to you directly
No I'm not reading this with my eyes close, it's context clues hun. Inferences babe.
She leaves her family for him. We never learned why, we both have our own theories on that but he doesn't let her work and does things with money without telling her.
Narcissist and abusers look at ppl that crave love like lions look at gazelles. She was easy prey. You see how upset her parents looked at her decisions and she just wanted love.
She suggested to getting a job but he politely turns her down. He makes major financial decisions without telling her. Also Doyeon as kind as she is, is also incredibly neutral on things. We learn from her pov that she's nice sometimes because it's the easiest to deal with. She's not a Saint but someone that likes to avoid conflict but from others pov she's Mother Mary.
He straight up LEFT HER to these thug loan sharks that were going to not only assault her but sex traffic her and when he gets back he's just l, "My bad uwu" his whole personality is a misdirect.
Also, just cause someone is being nice or "kind" doesn't mean he's not abusive this is from the victims POV.
This
I need Jinju to gain a support system. She needs more friends, and a job, just something that she can have of her own before she gets back woth Doyeon!
She's been so isolated from the world (because of her awful donkey abusive husband God I can't wait to get her backstory) and she's so lost like a lot of ppl who've been in this type of relationship.
I want to see her and the teacher interact more because you can see the care for each and I just want to see her reclaim her life!
Also! DOYEON! !! I WANT HER TO EXPRESS HOW SHE TRULY FEELS SO BAD!! She's always trying to be, nice, kind, helpful but out of the way. I want Doyeon to cuss pll put and foght for ehat she wants. Doyeon deserves happiness.
This is getting so good. I NEED to know about Jinju's past and her and the teacher.... lowkey would be cute together but that just for my fanfics I play in my head before bed lol. They have the Sly Fox and Tsun Cat dynamic that I love.
But anyway the slow burn is hitting right now. The fire is starting and I'm excited. Jinju is realizing her feelings but the most complicated part is going to be about her being able to be with Doyeon. Divorces aren't easy, especially with her rat boy of a husband.
Last thing:
Jinju jealous is so cute compared to Doyeon's. Jinju's Jealousy is, "What is this feeling
Please by nice to my girls, especially Jinju this isn't an easy conflict to solve for them!
My heart hurts for my two girls Doyeon finally found something (someone) she actually wanted who made her feel genuinely wanted. But she can't fight for her and doesn't know how
And Jinju, MY LOVE! Her story is so sad too. She abandoned her family to be with this sly rat of a man (I feel like he's been manipulative since they first met.) Her husband leaves her to these evil loan sharks and doesn't call the entire time. She finally meets someone who just might care about her but her husband comes back.
And here's the thing that's her HUSBAND marriage is sweet, yes, but it's a contract first and foremost. She's also a older woman with no prior work experience AND he is the only family she has. You can't JUST LEAVE that without some guilt and we know Jinju is a sensitive soul.
I missed the lesbians so much (well, Doyeon is definitely a futch lesbian and Jinju, I'm not sure. I think she was just hetcomp but is actually a lesbian herself)
Doyeon has finally found something that makes her feel in life and that little rat bastard shows up like everything is ok! Your wife was almost asulted and he's just, "Aw gee, silly me! Should've left a note" I do NOT like that man.
Jin Joo deserves so much more. She left her family for this man... FOR LOVE! And this is how he treats her?! She didn't work because his toxic ass probably didn't want her around other ppl. I bet there is a good reason her parents didn't like him. I LOVE MY CAT PERSONIFIED OLDER FEM!!!
Doyeon is in her Futch era and I love that for her. My girl got crazy eyes but if there is one Doyeon supporter in the world, it's me. She for sure wants to f*ck his wife in front of him and then catch him on fire and she SHOULD!
You know, I was really hoping this would've been a GL Omegaverse story. Like, I LOVE GL (most Sapphic women do) and Omegaverse so this would've been so cool to see.
(This story also would've just worked as a polygamous relationship but that's so BEYOND rare in stories)
It was cool seeing an Alpha woman in this story but idk Dogyeom didn't feel any different then any other Bl tops. Like she didn't even feel like a Butch, Futch, Stud, or even Fem Dom type character just like BL top + Boobs. There's just something off and I can't put my finger on it.
