yuki’s cousin/brother/whatever had no business telling aki about yuki’s family and past.
it’s their business and if you say something like “[insert friend’s name] is in the yakuza” out of the blue, ofc the person will be taken back?? what was his cousin thinking oml. i know he doesn’t want yuki to get hurt, but he made things 10x worse.
honestly characters who are like “i’m doing it so you don’t get hurt...” are some of the most selfish and shitty characters in my opinion. i havent read a character w/ that mentality who isn’t a dick or doesn’t hurt/cause a misunderstanding w/ the ml and mc.

tw; depression?
whenever i first read this, i was worried i was going to relapse (i have a history of s/lf h/rm and s//cidal tendencies) however, this was really comforting to me. i’m on at chapter 24, but i really relate to hooni and how his previous s//cide attempts failed because he couldn’t go through it all the way or because how painful it was.
it’s rlly comforting to see a character like him because a lot characters w/ depression are portrayed as “uwu i c/t myself” or “i’m so sad but cute <3” and it never really mentions the more “uncute” aspects (the depression pit/extremely dirty rooms, not being motivated to wash or take care of yourself properly, the s//cide attempts, etc...)

i finished reading all the current chapters. i really like hooni and the part w/ the suicide book really hit hard considering i did something similar in the past. back when i was at my worst, i would push my close friends away even when they wanted to help. the day before i planned to die, someone i didn’t really talked to, thanked me and simply said “see you tomorrow.” it’s crazy how words that didn’t hold a lot of meaning made me feel wanted and that someone cared about me. it’s kinda similar to how in the earlier chapters, jaehoon said “see you tomorrow” to hooni and hooni got really excited because he believed he made a friend.
another chapter that hit home was the one where hooni tried to stop self harming. as a person who self harmed in the past, i felt like it was portrayed really accurately. i always bottled things up and the only way i knew how to relieve stress was via cutting, so i really related to him. it’s such an addiction too because sometimes i would do it even when i wasn’t even stressed out or anything. it’s strange how much my razor would comfort me honestly and when i lost it, i felt miserable without it. i heavily regret it though because my scars are a constant reminder of my depression and i can’t wear shorts above my knees. so i really wished i stopped sooner.
i’ll probably do a more in depth comment about this in the morning since it’s quite late.

not ya’ll victim blaming the uke
some of you guys never been in a situation where someone took advantage of you and it shows. most of the time, you’re really caught up in the moment and so you don’t notice potential red flags. and if you do, you probably trust the person enough, so you don’t think much about it.
the only reason why you guys are like “well he should’ve...” is because you already know what’s going to happen beforehand and the uke doesn’t.
your mentality is so toxic, especially to survivors of things like this and is part of the reason why they don’t come out about their trauma. ik this seems rlly small because it’s just fictional, however this IS a big issue and if you genuinely have a mindset like this, you’re problematic.
it been 20 chapters and our favorite character, yee yee man, got no character development whatsoever. the author rlly dragging this shit out
We need blondie to come back and make him jealous
yeah but at the sameness time it kinda sucks blondie is being used just for yawhi’s character development. i actually really preferred blondie over yawhi
