Noooooooooooo, it's fine tho. I'm pretty sure Elena will know it had nothing to do with Johan

I know that she won't blame Johann.
I just don't like that the author had to add this plot twist just for the sake of melodrama.
The story itself already has enough conflicts for these fluffy love birds.

Yes, exactly! :( Johan makes drama by himself already lmao I didn't think it was gonna be this kind of plot. I thought it was just gonna be a cute one all the way

If you want a cute grounded story, THE LAST GAME would be perfect for you.
Many of us have the suspicion that this novel manhwa ripped off this manga.

The first ch the very first thought I had was the last game

I'd recommend "girl that can see it" under girls with powers!!

Shes not sure happy about it but she's definitely strong and kind.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Now that I just read it...

It is not my cup of tea because this web manga has this kinda moe fan service vibe.

I feel like you’ve already read these but sign and cherry blossoms after winter are pretty respectful from what I remember!

Ikr and later those actions are justified with trauma, misunderstanding yada yada but rape is rape and i hate how many bls have the uke ending up with their rapist.
It's absolutely annoying

YAOI is literally just manga without plot, like author would put em r@p3 and s3xu@l @ss@ult scenes just for the heck of it so i'd recommend you read Shounen Ai instead of YAOI

I did and I forgot about them.
I really despise that untouchable psycho antagonist in Sign and Cherry B has its tropes + archetypes but it is not toxic and has its smart moments.

I like to recommend the very lovely wholesome shounen-ai manhuas:
HERE U ARE + Men's Wear Store and "Her Royal Highness"

Good advice!

Yaoi is just literally porn.

Shounen Ai would literally make you swoon like the plot is exquisite and the characters are chef's kiss AND they do communicate verbally it's amazing

My unforgettable favourites:

HERE U ARE + Men's Wear Store and "Her Royal Highness"

Mine is 'Who's baby is it?' ack they precious

Thanks for reminding me of this story.
Let's see if the ML/SEME is an immature superior alphahole.
I hope not...

No offense, but this premise where the ML/Seme owns large corporation is often depicted like Christian Grey bad or like the CEO MLs in Trash Toxic Soapy Romance Manhuas/Chinese Webtoons.

That is why I am easily concerned and judgy because of the influx and oversactuaration of such plots.

Ok I just read quickly sporadically many chapters of 'Who's baby is it?' and the ML/Seme seems decent enough.

But I am personally not keen about the whole plot and its logic.
For example: Uke gets unwillingly involved in the troubles of the priveledged Seme who is part of a very rich elite patriarchal/conservative family where there is the typical scheming, backstabbing, framing and internal power struggle over who gets what.
And Seme is so attractive and desirable that he attracts dumb evil jealous bitches and stupid envious self-proclaimed rivals or greedy enemies...

There is the trope where the Uke/FL becomes a target because of the ML/Seme who came forceful into their lifes...

At last someone pointed it out

Thank you

Damn you're right ngl kudos to you

I recently had an uncomfortable petty conversation with a commentator in their spoiler section here about the ML/Seme in Payback.
I expressed my concerns and they/this user reacted negatively.
We wasted our time by having the last word out of spite and at the end I finally apologize for peace sake + let it go.
There are these hardcore fans who likes this dangerous mafia tsundere immature ML with these very fitted hidden depths without any critical thinking... I believe they love this fantasy about a godlike looking well off bad boy getting redeemed and tamed by the Uke/FL... It's wishful self-projecting porn.
They quickly forget and accept how the superior Alphahole "harassed" the struggling Uke/FL. So no matter what these MLs did to the MC/the love of their life, they always are forgiven for having deep sympathetic reasons:
ML was in love with them some years ago, he felt for the first time these feelings of love because them and they are the only one in this world who can make feel truly better, good, alive or reformed.
It is pretty much the Beauty and The Beast Syndrome.

We should respect as good as we can the preferences of others but there are tropes that are quite questionable and problematic. I think we should talk about that openly and reasonably.

"If you don't like it, don't read it. Go read something else like shoujo..."
There is sth really too simple, cheap and patronizing about this counter argument.
I mean I ve already read it and dropped it. And sometimes you don't know which direction this story you were interested goes or how annoying bad a character really is.

Thanks for reading/listening.

And I forget to mention that these readers like how the Uke/FL can benefit greatly from the super rich powerful famous Alphahole who will give them everything you can dream of...

This is honestly what makes this series topnotch and undeniable. There's no uke/seme qualities thrope, they characterized them both as as men as they should be. Both empowered and living theit life with that empowerment with their hands until they meet ways. And even after they met, there's no unnecessary seme saving uke or what kind of thrope. They both could stand independently as characters, so when they are put together, the world panics. They give out this indescribable yet undeniable taste. The author really stepped out their game

Tell me about it. Like I was reading big and beautiful and the semester likes to dress up as girls and I commented "who doesn't like femme boys" And this one commented people who have preference of masculine boys and im like bruh who pissed your pants and told me to use tone indicators like I'm just enjoying my day and it had to be ruined by a petty person.

I know!! People really get offended at the slightest things which is really irrelevant and inconvenient and try saying something they get all pissed like why r u here. And really ruined my day yesterday but then I realized some people are just stupid as fuck

All we can do is try to communiate friendly, offering a dialogue, find common middle ground and learn from each other...
And if your opposites still refuse to compromise or listen and just mocks you at the end, then it is truly on them.

Periodt?

Don’t for Penelope (Death is the Only Ending for a Villainess) the attic scene was heat

I totally forgot that. Still not a fan of the whole premise and all these MLs but Penelope is the only character I really care. She deserves the best.
