its not that deep's Favorite

I will miss cutieful baby Jaekyung from the flashbacks. I truly applaud for Mingwa’s artistic prowess at making Jaekyung look like his age especially when he was a late teen. It’s like you can see the current Jaekyung in his features but with some cherubic features that displays how young he still is even while competing.

personally im SO happy we got all these flashback chapters. i see jaekyung’s character in such a different light now like this definitely saved the story for me. i know his backstory doesn’t excuse any of his actions towards Dan but i’m happy we at least now know WHY he did any of that to begin with. im gonna reread all the previous chapters now because my perspective has totally changed. whenever i see Jaekyung now i can’t help but see his younger struggling self behind those eyes

that type of trauma is what actually makes people act like assholes irl that’s why THERAPY is important yall or you’ll end up alone and mad at the world

Thos who are being negative on every update are the ones who are overly excited waiting for 10 days, just so they can whine about "Jaekyung" the fictional character . I don't wanna label them as "Dumb" because they hype the manwha so much! Thanks much you idiots Meanwhile, true readers actually appreciate the pace and story telling.

Btw ...thank G they're "calm" cause DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN IS "OUR SUNNY DAYS" COMING BACK?!!!
It was what give my life balance!!!after reading redflag piece of sh JK I'd enjoying reading OSD wishing I could cuddle with that little family

Why’s no one talking about him being bi

I'm kinda confused on why Dan should be that ray of sunshine to Jaekyung tbh?? have they spent time together? yes. have they slept together? yes.
But for me I don't get why Jaekyung would fall for him since Dan is not that different from all the people apparently he has slept with, except for him working with Jae's team. Have they trauma bonded? lol I don't think he in particular had the opportunity to "like" Dan in that way. Dan on another note, was your typical bottom falling for his abuser (but hey!! not anymore right?)
I won't criticize Mingwa necessarily for presenting characters like these (bc most people digs this type of stories i guess) but I still think the story is kinda meh, I was genuinely hoping to see something more interesting but it all feels cliché and forced. YOU CAN DISAGREE but these are my thoughts so far

I FUCKING KNEW IT HE JUST NEEDED SLEEP THATS ALL THIS DUMBASS THOUGHT IT WAS SEX

LETS GOOO TIME FOR HIM TO GROVEL, BEG AND TREAT DAN HOW HE DESERVES, but hopefully I hope jjk suffers a little longer before that happens in present time

Jaekyung is like your (un)friendly neighborhood badboy.

Like I get that he's an asshole and I would take my sweet time smacking him multiple times if I get to, but do I hate him? Absolutely not.

The hate on him seems too forced and woke.

I feel like some of yall have trauma bonded in the comments therefore the only reason to get some reaction from the actual readers of jinx is by being hateful. Seriously, who is forcing yall to read it if you don’t like nothing about this story? Sometimes you have to shut your brain off to enjoy things like this- I have read much worse stories than jinx, and I’ll be honest, the most popular manhwas in this app have much redder flag tops than jjk :/ them bitches ain’t real so please I’d love to read more discourse about the actual chapter and characters than the same old song being told 1000x in them comments!

Grandpa actually have him such a good advice. Basing your entire notion of happiness on winning could make a person crumble at the slight change of that status. He needs something more substantial, more meaningful. But I get it, this sport was the only thing holding him together bc pretty much anything else was in shambles

I find it crazy how theres so much hate on this chapter. Honestly the flashback chapters do such a great job and showing the effects childhood trauma has on adulthood. Jk undoubtably has ptsd, probably even complex ptsd because of how severe his childhood situation was. This man HAS NEVER experienced love before. The life he has created for himself including the jinx is a direct result of his understanding of reality based on his traumas. It’s kind of like the allegory of the cave, you don’t know how fucked up your situation is until someone actively shows you it’s fucked up. I know some people are saying that “all of this could be solved if he went to therapy” or “ is this really why it’s called jinx” but ppl with ptsd and other trauma related mental conditions are usually not the most self-aware. Especially if they don’t have the resources to tackle their problems, even more so if they don’t know what their problems are. Of course I’m not excusing Jks behavior at all, but those who are aware about trauma and abuse, know that it’s a cycle. If you were abused, you are much more likely to inflict abuse. It’s still wrong, but it’s easy to write someone off as good or bad without understanding their complete story. Which I believe these chapters give us. And I’m honestly really excited to see how the story progresses, because jk is gonna have a lot of trouble and confusion navigating such an intense emotion like love. Ik BLs usually follow the ‘sad backstory to why a character is fucked up’ trope but I’m hoping the author uses this narrative to fuel a Taejoo level redemption arc.

Jaekyung really needs to cry. Like, he didn't actually ever let his emotions out. All he feels is anger

Calling it a jinx just wasnt technically correct. A jinx means causation between A to B but it also implies that there's no clear explanation why. Just something almost supernatural or pure luck between A and B. For example, some performers wear certain color underwear for their performances. No rationale reason, but they see a pattern between A and B.

Here, there's a clear reason why between A to B. Jaekyung wins his matches after sex because a person often performs better when they're less stressed. It's like doing better on an exam after a good night's rest. I'd be hard pressed to call sleeping well a jinx to success.

I had guessed this in a previous post and some ppl were disappointed by the idea. I think it's because we expected more from this 'jinx' since it started everything. But I can see why JJK calls it a jinx also. Performers and competitors can be superstitious when it comes to their pre-show/match rituals to boost success and they find comfort in routines. To someone as hellbent on being successful as JJK, I can see why he's come to call sex a jinx. His character seems to find comfort in a strict, repetitive routine, i.e. working out, drinking milk, sobriety, wearing cologne, etc.

Curious question. Were y'all satisfied with the origin of the jinx? Considering it's the title and the main point of this manhwa, what do y'all think? Honest answers only.

"Ian keeps going back to tj"

Ian: walk in an alley minding his business
tj: finds Ian and drags him to the toilet and guides what he selfishly wants to do.

The only problem is Ian needs to take a stand against tj actions. That the only criticism as of now and how you say the oppsite of what actually happens dilutes the storytelling.

1. Ian did not go back to tj, he was found by tj. 2. Ian did not say his life is miserable without tj, he said tj leaving after the funeral (after Ian gave him a answer) made him feel miserable.
3. Ian did not imply pleasure in their sex, he implied it's only a familiar feeling, how their sex is always conditioned. That's it.

I feel like this fandom is just a bunch of surface level readers that ruin the story. Tj is rightfully hated. Jo is not. Half the shit tj has told Ian yall would burn Jo at the stake if he had said it. Cut the hypocrisy already and take off the rose tinted glasses when discussing what is actually happening between their words and actions.

#womeninmaledominatedfields

i like the small touch of her not being fully morally reprehensible. Like she can totally go hanime protag power trip with her powers but she doesn't and has the succubus actually be frustrated with her lack of proactivity lmao.

everything is perfect in this chapter eunsan wearing ian’s jersey, the crazy hand placements, and their kiss. definitely melted my mind and heart due to the amount of sweetness and tension between the two

Can anyone explain why uke is not revealing his identity to the seme .. we can clearly see that the seme is suffering so much and having health problems.. uke goes and checks on him like choose a struggle (づ￣ ³￣)づ
