tofu's manga / #Nope(56)

TW: rape, blackmail Finished reading the korean raws, idk why i even bother to. I'm honestly sick of this narrative where someone who gets off of pain is treated horribly and it gets dismissed as if masochism is an excuse for rape. The ending's predictable and of course the couple is now lovey dovey despite what the ML made MC go through.

Dropped. Why haven't authors gotten tired of this dynamic yet? It's so boring seeing some possessive, dominant, asshole of a guy forcing his way on someone who clearly hates it. Not to mention the repetitive sexual harrassment. Like, doesn't it get old? It's the same thing same dialogue same dynamic over and over, and no matter what the background plot is, the ending will be the same.

Dropped.

MC had ED but it was magically cured by the ML. ML was insomniac but also magically cured by the MC. Why??? Because they love each other. How???? Idfk, the manga never bothered to build the couple's chemistry or explained anything, we only know that they were schoolmates in uni but that's it. ML was the kinda guy MC hated the most and vice versa, but they were somehow in love. Also, there's rape. Fun!!!!!!!!!!

I mean the story itself is probably sweet bcs of the author but it's basically grooming so......gross???

Ive tried to read and ended up dropping this before, but i forgot to mark it so i did it allover again lmao. Anyways: rapey and sexist omegaverse, rape is of course romanticized to hell and back, and second couple is an adult with a highschooler. Ergh.

Why do authors publish stories like this? Waste of resources, truly.

ML gave off a groomer vibe and i hate him. Edit: ML--AT THE TIME IN HIS MID 20S MIGHT I REMIND YOU--FELL FOR MC WHEN MC WAS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. AM I SUPPOSED TO THINK THAT IT'S CUTE?? THAT HE FUKN WAITED UNTIL MC WAS 18 TO MOLEST HIM?? DO I GIVE HIM A MEDAL OR SMTH??? I loved some of author's works but this belongs in the dumpster.

Fkn hell, a 16 year old and a salaryman?? And they're gonna have sex right after they met? Gross.

S1 is absolute perfection and was honestly one of my absolute fave reads. S2 made me almost threw up because MC turned into this rapist who kept manipulating his bf into sexual situations eventhough the bf clearly said that he doesn't wanna have penetrative sex yet, and had the gall to be HAPPY when the bf was in immense pain during sex. I fuckn HATE that. Such a shame because i genuinely loved S1 so much, but im dropping it. (Tangent: why do R18 korean webtoons ALWAYS disappoint me like... PG or GEN webtoons are usually godsend but once it becomes R18, problematic tropes will definitely appear. And WHY tf are the tops' dicks almost always the size of my arm? Sigh.)
