Chasing arc is the best

by looklookie22
2 months ago

Rating: 8.5 / 10.0

First of all, you shouldn't read this if you don't like the yandere part of the tag yandere seme. Seme doesn't even kill anyone here lol but he is def a yandere type. Being a yandere character will always imply a level of toxicity and red flag ness. Why read something that's literally not your taste?

This story checked out a lot of my personal list: clingy crazy top, a good pursuing/chasing arc and comedy. The "toxic" aspect of this story is made to be comedic. It's literally the main point. And I enjoyed it and had a good laugh. It's entertaining. When the uke eventually relented, I had fun on how lovey dovey they were. Usually, I've seen the uke being all annoyingly tsundere even after getting together but that is so minimal here. The seme being so insane that made everyone adjust to him is hilarious. When he was relentlessly pursuing the uke, it made me so excited. I was having so much fun reading this.

Overall, don't read this seriously in search of a down-to-earth romance. Read this for the shit and giggles and if you love clingy pursuing MLs.

Fun little story

Rating: 8.7 / 10.0

I like it it uses the BL magic very liberally.. although there's no antagonist in here per se. Smooth sailing with a very psycho type of lover who is very possessive. Kyuyeon is living the life.. get that money boy.

Funny, but toxic trash

by NaeMiaw
3 years ago

Rating: N/A

It's a real shame, there's a lot of good comedic scenes. But there's also so much toxic behavior, the cherry on top being threatening murder-suicide to control a partner and it only stops because the partner "doesn't like it". No reflection on why it's bad, why you should be more considerate etc other than it makes partner sad. Overall unfortunately it is too much of a normalization of abusive behavior, excused by edginess.

Toxic, unpleasant.

by theonlylampshade

Rating: 1.0 / 10.0

Normally, when I do not like something I read, I simply drop it and don't give it any further thought. But to use the word of another reviewer here, it triggered me. As it became ever more toxic and unpleasant.

The phycological abuse, the gaslighting, starts pretty early. But at the beginning there is enough fun, humour and absurdity, that affords you not to to take it too seriously. But this doesn't last for long, and more and more red flags appear, and the very worst of it is there are never any consequences:

Such as;

a friend of the main character was lured into a trap and beaten up so badly he was put in hospital. There at the scene, and afterwards the main character gives absolutely no thought or consideration to his badly beaten friend. Later, he is confronted by some other guildmembers (who he's previously scammed), who are seeking justice for the guy who was put in hospital. But ML turns up and saves him, and is treated by story and MC alike as a hero.

The worst of this is, those people who confronted MC asked if he cared about the friend who ML put in hospital. And he did not. He didn't even ask, even when prompted.

It goes on in this vain. Becomes more toxic, there are occasional tears, but ML is never confronted for his terrible actions. At one point he literally deletes all of MC's contacts, no consequences come of this. It's all as if it never happened.

Ultimately the relationship starts toxic, is toxic throughout, and remains toxic right to the end. It's not a relationship that deserves to succeed. My honest advice would be to avoid this manhwa.

Gaslighting Yandere, the Webtoon

by Ceiye
4 years ago

Rating: N/A

I hardly ever review the countless bad BL I've read, but this is such a good horrible BL. You can read this with friends and have a blast just shit talking it. You got gaslighting, you got yandere, you got rushed developments of someone who hasn't thought this story through. I am 99% certain that the author did not write the romance in earnest at all, but that 1% of me is still thinking about why some aspects were played straight.

This is a legitimately bad webtoon even without the crazy murder-suicide ML, but it is the kind of bad you will have a good time with friends with, given that you are okay with the absurdly light tone they take towards some of the extremely toxic dynamic the two have.

Unhealthy relationship

by TehShush
4 years ago

Rating: N/A

Toxic relationship is toxic. No, seriously, this can possibly be triggering for some people. The characters eventually get along and things seem decent with the shared feelings, but along the way are a lot of red flags (more so than I usually see in BL.

Warnings for gaslighting, threats of murder/suicide if someone breaks up with them, isolating a partner from their friends due to jealousy, a scene where one person pretends to be another to lure an unsuspecting friend in order to beat them up, etc. The manhwa does not address a lot of these issues, a few are discussed but ultimately the MC gets upset, forgives/forgets, and then it's glossed over.
