Those who are complaining about the slow-burn, you should maybe drop this because there is much more from where that came from. As I had mentioned before, this is not your average BL story. You have to spare some time to actually understand it and its characters.
I'd also like to mention the issue about non-con people have about this manhwa. If someone stops reading because of the non-con, then that is completely justified. In fact, as someone who was violated twice, I can completely understand non-con is a triggering topic or a deal breaker. However, I would like to point out that, again as some who was 🍇ed twice, THIS MANHWA DOES NOT SEXUALIZE 🍇. I repeat. THIS MANHWA DOES NOT SEXUALIZE 🍇. It's not portrayed in the best way here but in the novel you can clearly see the rage building up in Taeui when Ilay did what he did. Otherwise, why would he do that entire risking-his-life-to-take-revenge on Ilay fiasco? There is 🍇 in the story but never once is it said to be positive thing or sexualized! The real problem is certain readers. They like to write comment that sexualize ra** instead of plainly critisizing what the character is doing. So please, you are completely free to stop reading if 🍇 is a triggering topic for you, but for g**'s sake don't come after others for not dropping it.
Annyways, back to my review. There's so much left to say about this story that I can't really write down for this one review only. But I would like to conclude that Passion by Yuuji is one of the most phenomenal, three dimensional, raw and unique BL's that I've ever come across. Calling the novel BL is also an understatement because it's actually written to be considered serious literature. Of course, like every other stories, this one has its flaws and to me, it is imperfectly perfect. Thank you for listening to my TED talk.
