Ethingan's manga / #Yaoi(169)

Not a fan of multiple short-stories. Too short for proper development and hard to review if the different stories differ in how good they are. Thought the first and third were kinda meh, plus for the seme being cute though. But liked the second story. Tall shy seme who has problem looking people in the eyes. Adorable. Plus for saying he would be okay with bottoming.

Underrated psychological gem! Some people dislike this for being too messed up or for fetishising rape and mental illness. I agree that it is messed up but I think one of the reasons people think it's worse than all other yaoi out there with rape is that here they don't sugar coat it. It is portrayed just as horrible as it really is. I think this is a way more respectful way of addressing serious topics than to have someone rape, abuse, humiliate etc. someone else, without ever properly apologising or regret, and the other one just forgives it like it's nothing and it's all portrayed as being romantic. These stories have very subtle storytelling while still portraying what is happening in a very frank manner. It feels like it has some deeper meaning and it really makes you reflect. Very psychological and emotional. Especially the last story. 1:st story: kinda meh, guy develops a choking fetish 2:nd story: Scary and messed up. A guy with DID who doesn't remember parts of his life: His other identity is violent and abusive and he can suddenly wake up, seemingly in the middle of abusing his partner. I actually liked this one. Some people say it fetishises mental illness, which I can agree with to some extent but I actually like this psychological and serious narrative. In some other stories with DID, everything is sunshine and roses, the DID is romanticised and misrepresented. I think that is way worse. However, here it really portrays how scary it can be to have DID and not knowing what the other identity does or when you will disappear. Seke mc. 3:rd story: probably the least messed up one. It was okay. 4:th story: Beautiful subtle storytelling. The meaning behind it is horrible. I had to reread it in order to fully grasp what happened and as I understood more and more I got more and more horrified. This story still haunts me. I feel so incredibly sad for the mc. A boy escapes from trauma by twisting his mind. A psychological masterpiece.

Wait did I put the comment on the wrong webtoon? Does this really fit?? LOVE THIS! Crazy skilled and clever bottom - check! Dreamy, kind and devoted top - check! Wholesome relationship - check! Nice top on bottom bj - check! Plot - check!

I absolutely LOVE this!!! <3 More reversible couples!! <3

Mixed feelings. Hated the beginning when the uke was humiliated as a sex slave/servant. It got better and in the end it felt like the seme really loves the uke and treats him better. Very satisfying to see him change, although I would have liked to see him apologise and repent more. And couldn't he have given a bj back at least once?! Towards the end the one I had most problems with were actually the uke. Complete doormat. So submissive. Just accepts everything. Even when other people try to stand up for him (understandable since he seems unable to do it himself) he lashes out at them instead??? I guess his personality was part of what made the seme come around, being like the sun (I think?), quiet and warm, but it still bothers me. I wish he could have stood up for himself more. I know he was a servant in the beginning so it may have been hard but even as a servant there are things that one doesn't have to accept. Overall it was a good read though and the art is beautiful.

Dominant uke x masochistic submissive seme Like the different power dynamic. A plus for the seme having experience being pegged and fingered. Refreshing when they mix up the gender roles a bit!

Mixing over-the-top weird and hilarious things with more serious emotional stuff. Really good! ((1 fant not shown)), 4!, (5 short fb not shown woman)

A roller coaster of feelings! One of the few yaois where a bastard rapist seme TRULY regrets, apologises, repents and change for the better. I LOVED seeing his character development. I think it helped that they let it take time and that the uke didn't forgive him immediately, but actually hated him and let him suffer before eventually starting to forgive him. And only after the seme had changed. The characters are really good! They feel real. Their feelings, developments and interactions make sense. The story focuses on several characters, which works, since they have interesting stories too. One negative is that it's quite confusing sometimes. Especially in the beginning. The art is beautiful. A bit too skinny but it's still great! How they play with light and shadow is beautiful. Their expressions are also really good! Their feelings come across clearly without being too exaggerated or stiff. Overall I like how the story manages to mix cute and funny moments with serious, emotional and even horrible scenes.

Plus for being a reversible couple Minus for the black haired guy being sadistic and mean
