dojin was never a good partner, hyesung was always attracted to other omega’s and never interested in alpha’s, he only came to tolerate dohin bc he made it so he had to depend on him. dojin also straight up took advantage of hyesungs biology and vulnerability to get what he wanted. tell me one trait that he likes about hyesung as a person besides being an omega.

    Feel free to disagree but no , regardless what kind of asshole or manipulative of a person he is , he's still being gentle with hyesung and never hurt him , never cheated on him either , hyesung is everything for him , what he did was wrong in the past but really , compare to other ml in other bl manhwa , he's one of the green"est" flag of em all.

    yeah him having a fixation over hyesung, and not beating him doesn't make him the greenest flag, especially by today's standards. his shit behavior clearly isn't in the past either because he sided with the parent who abandoned him to the abusive parent, so that goes to show how much he "really" actually cares about Hyesung fundamentally besides fulfilling his own domestic fantasies.

    there being "worse" out there isn't a convincing arguement.

    Oh gosh y'all doing too much , at least he has shown a little bit of humanity by making an amendment with the mother , yes what she did to hyesung was inhumane and really bad but look at her now , she looks so sad and lonely , she's ready to make an amendment and still waiting till these days. Byul still visiting her from time to time shows that's she's changed. She even asked byul how hyesung have been doing after discharged show's that there's a character development , so no. Does that not make him a green flag anymore? And no he's not sided with the person who abandoned his husband , but actually was just pitying her after she was divorced and now was left alone , regardless in the future the author will make an amendment arc given that the mother still making a cameo in byul story , so there goes anything , second chance exist and it's up to the author to decide whether they want hyesung want to forgive her or no

    listen, i'm all for giving asshole parents second chances as a person who has an asshole parent who rips their ass off to provide for my family. that doesn't change the fact that such a relationship had to be initiated and handled by Hyesung himself, not Dojin, and has to be very carefully worked for. given the context that dojin knows about the abuse, him deciding to provide for the abusive parent because she's "sad and lonely" (experiencing the consequences of her actions) shows he's putting his OWN wants and needs, HYESUNGS ABUSER'S wants and needs, above HYESUNG'S wants and needs. it shows the complete lack of respect he has for him as a person, which is nothing new. he doesn't get the title of a 'green flag' because he's hot and can be gentle on occasion. simply comparing him to worse people will never change that fact either.

    the 'character development' you're talking about is her accepting unearned rewards. the day she abandoned hyesung as a child was the day she decided how far their relationship goes. she doesn't get to just waltz in and have a redemption arc handed to her because dojin pitied her and speaks for her 'so called character development' (aka being sad and lonely, and talking to her grandson who she should not have any contact with without the consent of hyesung).

    the implication that there will be an eventual (likely unearned) redemption arc for the mother doesn't change anything, i'm criticizing the actions that currently exist.

    also yes, my standards for BL are insanely high, and i will continue to 'do too much' and criticize shit writing. abuse and mediocre relationships being romanticized is outdated and should remain as such. there's also a difference between simply enjoying problematic stories (which i don't have much of an issue with, read what you want) and trying to actually /defend/ the shitty behavior. it's not okay. if you shrug it off because it's fiction then that's you, but me? i'll continue to criticize that and expect better quality. you're free to not interact with me anymore and continue enjoying your story, though.

    who’s the hottest bl top? December 6, 2024 5:19 pm

    yeah this has always been my issue with the original story because hyesung got SO much hate as if him being bratty wasn’t valid. he literally did not want any of that shit buy dojin always got away with no criticism. i agree with “read what you want” but there shouldn’t even be an issue with people criticizing the story or ones they also read. i wonder how this one will go

    exactly! hyesung got so much unnecessary shit and dyojin got pass after pass. i also love criticizing writing, even stories i love. doesn't always have to mean that i don't respect the work. (in this case though, that's debatable. it's one of the first bl's i read and even then i thought it was overhyped lmfao. though for different reasons admittedly, like the direction it took. there are better out there, but it's entertaining if nothing else.)

    i do wonder how they'll handle this too, but given how the author handled hyesung's and dojin's relationship, my expectations are on the floor.

    So what if the mother looks sad and lonely? What about the years Hyesung had to be alone without parental support, and struggling? Do you forget how he was having a mental crisis, was raped, assaulted many times, and left behind his own mother from a young age?

    I’m sorry but are you trying to justify what the mother has done? Explaining is one thing but trying to make the mother seem like some innocent soul is another. She abandoned her kid for years, almost his whole life. And you expect Hyesung to forgive that woman?

    She isn’t a mother. She is a woman that gave birth. Mother is a title a woman deserves it, a mother is someone who doesn’t let go of their child regardless.

    And no he has sided with the mother based on him supporting her financially. If that isn’t supporting the mother, I don’t know what it is in your dictionary!

    I can have some leniency with Dojin, and a strict firm talk with him and Hyesung deserves to yell at him for hiding that. As for the mother, it’s up to Hyesung, but clearly he does NOT want to reunite with that mother who left him behind, and started a new family.

    Thank you! It feels like the other person is trying to justify the grandmother’s disgusting actions.

    I’ve responded to that user. I’m shocked that they think about that woman’s sadness and how lonely she looks, but didn’t even mention how many years Hyesung has spent without FUCKING SUPPORT from a young age.

    Also, the annoying things they find in hyesung is actually the fruit of what he went through as a child. All he knew then was that as long as he becomes an alpha, everything would be alright and his life could finally start somewhere. but him being an omega, in his eyes, is the reason for all his sufferings. That's why he reacted negatively throughout the manhwa, he doesn't know anything about being an omega, he hates being an omega, and he rejects the instincts of being an omega.

    But then, dojin appeared and it was like all the things he hated about himself, his instincts and biology, is suddenly being shoved down his throat to be accepted because that's just the way things are and THEN he got pregnant. Imagine rejecting your omega instincts for a long time and then suddenly expected to have motherly instincts because you're going to have a child, I'm not surprised he had a bad case of post-partum depression, couldn't connect with his child and ran away.

    Anyway, I only read Love is an Illusion once, and the only time I reread it is for the side stories. I'd let this marinate for a while and wait for the climax ig or when things blow over( ̄∇ ̄")

i’ve been looking for a feisty, overachiever bottom, and gentle, laid back top dynamic with no luck.

my no’s are :: omegaverse, psychotic and abusive top who’s just kind or indulgent on occasion, romanticized s/a.

if you think the quality of story telling is worth staying for then i can try giving it a chance, thanks in advance <3
