Some people need to understand that the whole point of following a story is watching it unfold and change. If everything went exactly the way people already imagined in their heads, there would be no point in reading it.
If the direction doesn’t match what you wanted, you can just drop it. Invent your own characters and write the dynamic you prefer. But getting mad at the author because the story isn’t following the version you created in your head is just… exhausting. And it shouldn’t lead to harassment. Ever.

[Odette🎀 @roseofcygnet]

Yeah, I get it. It’s a really sensitive topic and I shouldn’t have brought it up like that. Sorry about that.
Just to be clear, I wasn’t trying to minimize what happened in those chapters at all. They are intense and I can understand why a lot of people found them heavy.
But I still agree with you that none of it justified the harassment Hanse received afterwards.

[Odette🎀 @roseofcygnet]

Exactly. That’s the part that bothers me the most.
A lot of people wouldn’t have said a word if Uno had been the usual soft, more submissive bottom who’s “meant” to take it. And we wanna talk about the chapters 20-21 discourse?? The problem isn’t really the intensity of those chapters. We’ve seen similar (and worse) things in plenty of other BL with red/black flag tops, and the reaction was nowhere near this strong.
The outrage happened because of who it happened to. Uno is written as confident, strong and used to being in control, so seeing him in that position felt “wrong” or uncanny to a lot of readers. It clashed with the image they had already built in their heads.
If he had been a more traditional bottom, I genuinely think most of these people would have stayed quiet. The discomfort isn’t only about the scene itself — it’s about the fact that it happened to this character.

[Odette🎀 @roseofcygnet]

I’m really glad you replied, and I agree with everything you said.
I had to step away from X as well because of this whole discourse. It was getting toxic and was genuinely stressing me out (and not to mention useless). Seeing people defend that take of Loren as “just another dark romance top cliché / heteronormative” really rubbed me the wrong way. And seeing people say “if you don’t agree with the user just don’t reply and let them have their own opinion” felt pretty biased too.
The contradiction is pretty clear: if Uno had been the typical soft, more submissive bottom, a lot of these people wouldn’t have said anything. The problem isn’t that Loren is a “cliché top.” The problem is that they struggle with a strong, confident bottom who still ends up under him. Hanse has never baited switch — she’s been consistent about Loren’s dominant role from the start.
It’s tiring watching people project their own preferences onto the story and then get mad at the author for not writing what they wanted. If the dynamic bothers them that much, they can just drop the series. It’s that simple.
Anyway, thanks for saying all this. It was nice seeing someone actually get it.

[Odette🎀 @roseofcygnet]

@Ruyuha_Kyouka They’re adorable, seriously. One of a kind makes them even more special.🥰

[Odette🎀 @roseofcygnet]

The author has never hinted at a switch. The tags have been clear from the beginning and the story has consistently followed that dynamic.

What some people call “just another hetero dark romance cliche” is actually a pretty different setup precisely because Uno is not the usual soft, easily dominated bottom.
He’s a former top energy character who is slowly accepting a new position instead of simply reversing the roles. That kind of development is rarer, and it’s clearly intentional.
If Uno had been the typical fragile, tearful bottom, most of these complaints probably wouldn’t even exist. The discomfort seems to come more from seeing a confident, previously dominant character in that role than from the dynamic itself being “cliché.”
Development doesn’t require a switch. It requires them meeting each other halfway — which is exactly what the recent chapters seem to be doing.

[Odette🎀 @roseofcygnet]

Agree with you.
The author has never hinted at a switch — the tags have been clear from the start and the story has consistently followed that dynamic.
It’s a fresh power dynamic, not a broken one. Development doesn’t require them to switch roles, it requires them to actually meet each other halfway… which is exactly what seems to be happening now.

[Odette🎀 @roseofcygnet]

@loveladyhanse @zzensy Happy birthday to our favourite ray of sunshine who deserves the whole world. 💖

[Odette🎀 @roseofcygnet]

I completely agree with you.
Uno is honestly one of the most interesting bottoms I’ve ever read. Confident, complex, doesn’t just fold easily… it’s really rare to find a bottom written like that.
That’s exactly why all the constant switch comments bother me so much. Hanse did something different and fresh with this dynamic, and instead of appreciating it, a lot of people just keep pushing for the same old cliché (the more “delicate” / easily dominated bottom).
It feels like they don’t actually want something new. They want the usual formula, just with different hair colors.
I’ve been feeling pretty shitty reading some of those comments lately, so it’s nice to see someone else who actually likes Uno the way he is.

[Odette🎀 @roseofcygnet]

Also, filling the comment section with the same request every single update becomes exhausting — especially for the author. Saying it once is one thing. Turning it into a recurring demand means you’re not really letting the story follow the course the author has chosen.
The same logic works both ways: if you don’t like the direction a story is taking, you can stop reading. Just like if you don’t like what someone is saying, you can mute or block.
A lot of BL characters were previously tops and later became bottoms. It’s a common arc. Sometimes the character even wants to be on top again and it still doesn’t lead to a switch. That doesn’t make the story inconsistent.
This isn’t about attacking anyone’s tastes. It’s about respecting the story the author is actually telling.
2/2

[Odette🎀 @roseofcygnet]

I usually don’t post about this kind of thing, but I’ve been seeing some comments that bother me.
An author isn’t obligated to publicly say “I will never do a switch” when the tags already make the intended dynamic clear.
If a switch had been part of the plan, it would most likely have been reflected in the tags from the start. When the tags, the story and the official arts all point in the same direction, that should be enough.
There has never been a real hint of a switch. Some confusion might come from bad translations, but the original intention has been consistent.
Saying “as long as the author doesn’t explicitly say it bothers them, it’s fine to keep asking” doesn’t feel like a fair standard to me. Tags exist to communicate the author’s intent.

@poopmangakita Honestly they get scandalized when they see two guys with similar height and build. They’re stuck on outdated stereotypes like “dark hair = bottom, light hair = top” or “cocky = top”. And god forbid a pretty brunette top, they short-circuit.
