clown's manga / #BL(65)

dogshit

automatic one star for obvious reasons, it is not a story about good characters and actively depicts rape but i feel like i have to finish this whole series to be rid of it. the only good thing to come out of this entire series was the gl spinoff with gyerin and jooyeong because the characters weren't insufferable and the sex was actually good and CONSENSUAL. and at the very least the main story had more to it than just bad sex. they at least threw in some consensual shit. none of THIS is. it's just pure porn of one dude manipulating the other into a situation where he can continuously force himself on the other. it's not psychological either, like killing stalking, it's listed as BL. it's insulting. edit: looking at the main story vs the gl side vs the bl side i feel like the way this was written was intentional?? like it was set up to be a shitty story about a shitty situation & shitty characters. but then why not just list it as psychological in the tags.. the main one i understand not doing that and putting it as adult or something, but this one is so much more suited for psych? it doesnt seem to be completely glorified except mayybee at the end so i feel like the author knew what they were doing and wanted to write a story like this without making the relationship seem good bc till the end we saw that minho was miserable and stuck with him out of convenience or pity or something. idk. if it was psychological this wouldve been a good story but its not!!! so keeping the one star

good set up but rushed ending, altho the screenshots at the end show that the author was rushed and had to change things?? very unfortunate and also explains why there were some inconsistencies like with the redhead's tattoos and the rushed arc at the end. i really wish they could've had more of an opportunity to flesh things out ): did enjoy those extra smut drawings tho they were cute

YES im so happy they have an actually healthy s&m relationship that's all i ever wanted. also what limb do i have to sell to be able to draw faces like this

honestly i like the side characters more LMAOO i even came back just to reread the stories with them. but thats also because dojin just has. no self restraint??? the excuse is that hes an alpha and he's getting carried away from the pheromones but we see that in the (separate) story focusing on his older sister that you can hold yourself back. hyesung didn't want this relationship at all until AFTER he gave birth, only coming onto dojin because of his heat. dojin also essentially tried to baby trap hyesung, or at the very least hoped that keeping the baby would change the relationship; which, even if it did, and really *only* because they were bonded, is piss poor judgement and will probably ruin your life if attempted irl. he's also just weirdly possessive/jealous and seems to act selfishly a LOT its kinda annoying. and don't give me the "but hyesung is annoying too and he got himself in these situations!111!" this all started because dojin couldn't keep his hands to himself on a random (VERY much in denial) omega that went into heat. and he attempted to leave multiple times despite being in a terrible situation regarding finances and housing. happy ending in the end i suppose, and byul is very cute
