clown's Manga

this easily could've been a good story. at first it seemed like it was building up to keith confronting his feelings and slowly breaking down his hard exterior with the help of yeonwoo. in a way, that *was* what happened, except the whole realization came at the cost of yeonwoo. the entire point of yeonwoo moving in w keith was because he was traumatized by his assault and wanted to get help so he could function like a normal person. instead of helping yeonwoo back on his feet, keith became the thing yeonwoo was afraid of in the first place. in fact, he went a step further and forced himself FULLY, not once, but twice. plus that bs with the marking situation + pregnancy that gave the author an excuse to keep them together. an ending where yeonwoo flees keith and leaves him alone forever would've been better than putting them together. there is a way to handle rape in stories without glorifying it, and if you are going to add it, handle it correctly. take notes from kiraide isasete, where the assault on the mc actually helps him grow as a character, who does NOT GET WITH SAID RAPIST. i'm sick of omegaverses where none of the love interests see consequences for their actions. and the whole situation with keith utilizing threats and coercian and literally ensuing an entire manhunt for yeonwoo is even more of a reason for them to not be together. keith never loved this man and never would have were it not for the sex. if the sex with yeonwoo wasn't good, then i can guarantee his feelings would've never changed. it's not sincere and frankly disgusting. this is the first story i couldn't bring myself to finish fully despite trying my best. i got within 8 episodes of the end and i had to drop it because i already knew they would end up together from people's photos.

THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE MAIN STORY??? jooyeon was actually respectful and tried her best to learn about gyerin and the things she wanted. they are so cute and i love the side romance between the friend and older sister

yes <3

an actually decent dom for once, though there were a few iffy scenes here and there it wasn't too bad. homin 100% should've gotten some shit for what he did other than ye-eun giving in to his desires as "punishment." chulsoo also deserved better and the relationship between him and ye-eun never developed too much. it felt like a lot of conflict and buildup between them for it to just go back to how it was in the beginning. dowon and jiha should've had something together as well. i just wish the relationships were more developed and refined rather than all of them gravitating to her even tho they very clearly have conflicting emotions towards her and other characters. sex scenes were nice tho and it wasnt boring so

interesting enough except i severely disliked all the rape and shit. if i dont look at it as a romance and just as a fucked up story about fucked up people then its p cool i guess. gyerin and like 2 other characters were the only normal ones in here and i am severely worried about the minho and wookyung spinoff thats happening after juyeon and gyerin considering how this ended

i haven't really seen much mental illness focused on in the BL that i've read so this was a nice change. obviously not completely medically accurate, but for the most part it handled the topic pretty well.

i just reread this im crying i love everyone and everyone in here is so attractive i love this fucking story

this shit stressed me out but i loved it, i like how it incorporated the sex scenes into the overall plot. they didn't feel out of place which is refreshing

we didn't get a confession nor a backstory but do i care? no this shit just made me happy
