are we going to keep getting ppl going OmG my MoRAlss even though we're on chapter 8 and the premise is pretty clear at this point lol
How is that a you problem
like damn calm the masochism down!! i wonder if we're going to get an eventual relationship where they learn how to do bdsm safely lol i could see incheol being an "honor student" and studying up on it
she creates really complicated, fleshed out characters who's motivations and ways of being, love languages, obsessions, neurosis, even sexual habits stem so much from their background, environment and family etc. and in doing so she doesn't shy away from how "ugly" people can get and complicated human relationships can be. i think for the most part she rarely writes "bad" characters instead they're almost always a reason for why they acted the way they acted through their pov
but she also is able to write about how there are certain "flaws" that ppl need to grow from - if only to stop harming the people they love. and how loving people really does change you EVEN as her depiction of love so far is about radical understanding and non-judgement. finding someone who will embrace you and SEE you and make you feel safe to be yourself. at the same time not foreclosing growth and being better. that's why someone who is as kind as Norman may seem a bit boring fictionally but is GODSEND irl...esp for someone who is depressed like sungtaek is.
which is why i'm excited for minwoo/cheoljin esp bc cheoljin's fear of vulnerability is truly insane/he's the most "let people see what they want to see" type person in existence. meanwhile minwoo is stubborn and can be very projecting in his own way bc of his own insecurities. the payoff is gonna be sooo good i trust the author to get us there.
anyways i just think this author's writing is very true to life and underrated in that way. i do think it's probably not suited for commercial BL readers as the audience which is a shame lol
Ohhh this analysis is good... Comments here were throwing trash to this couple but I really like them (I like them all tbh).. Communication it's hard, people always say "just talk to each other" but irl that IS hard and people irl no realize their mistake that quickly. Unfortunately there's people like the aunt that never change and even after death their damage it's still alive
Yes I fully agree with you, it's been frustrating to read because it's actually so close to real life this is the kind of story that doesn't let you escape when reading haha but it's written so well with such fleshed out characters like you said that you've really gotta give it to the author. Hats off to them
i thought the author was all ponies and rainbows so i'm surprised she's going this dark and really highlighting how insane ML is - it's definitely meant to be uncomfortable and she's not trying to shy away from how violating it is (like rian clearly not enjoying it and bieng in pain). so i'm intrigued by how much character growth there will need to be (and enzo is probably going to have to learn something about what it means to love someone lol) to be fair enzo was the person who manipulated a kind of poor person and then bit off his tongue so...yea.
Yeah, though I don't like the situation they're in I'm intrigued how it'll turn out. Uno may be a person with a messy lifestyle but he ain't genuinely bad. Enzo on the other hand....
every chapter is doing it for me and then i see all the comments here being like "omg this is so fucked up..this is so against my Principles as an Ethical Person of Moral Conviction blalbhalbah" like ok..thank you for your disclaimer. this is hot as hell. clearly the inverse of the usual trope where it's like the son desiring the young new mother like this is for a particular female gaze (ME) and the taboo is part of it.
don't get me started on ppl preferring the friend-ML like that's so normcore pleasee. y'all are not hot and bothered by ML's too-pretty but also tragic aura where you want to protect him but also step on him? no? like damn where are the doms
Real shiit ik it'll be hot as hell when the fl and ml do it and hide from the mom
If it were up to me, I'd leash them both xD a pathetic puppy and a naughty wolf, both in need of training
praying she pegs them both (▰˘◡˘▰) at the same time (▰˘◡˘▰)
We need both guys hot for FL so one of them can cuck (▰˘◡˘▰)
like i feel like the really ugly aspects of it feel super real and how it can genuinely make you offputting and unlikeable to those around you
ml looks so breedable and i love psychotic female mcs <3 this is so hot are there other femdoms like this (don't say sadistic beauty)
Let me camp here as well...I would love another messy manhwa rec
Sadistic beauty mentioned lol
first of all the character writing is great the author really gets those messy, maybe annoying feelings when you're in love and feeling needy and insecure but also recognize that you're doing the Most (so i really like that yunoh is like i'm pretty exhausting to be around). its interesting to see ppl be like yunoh is so valid! when i think as someone who's been on the other end of the relationship i'm like JUST COMMUNICATE ALREADY like haewon is doing a lot for him in his own way and there's only so much you can do when no one is being honest about how they feel and what they need to hear from each other.
i think it's also how fictionally we tend to side with whoever seems more lovelorn and "vulnerable" whereas you assume characters like haewon who seem more "alpha" are the ones with more power and seem to care less - but when you get to their pov you realize that's not the case. (many of my fav manhwas are like this hehe)
i like how he's grounded and quickly takes stock of the situation and not afriad to hit back like he's not going to uke-fy (too quickly at least)
