if youโve heard about about the harassment the manga creator of nakamura has faced to the point of deleting their twt acc, i hope you can also help bring attention to the ongoing attacks doyak (author of wet sand) has been facing from a subset of bl readers for the past 3-4 weeks after completing her story.
certain readers have participated in sending her death threats, attempting a review bomb campaign on ridi, doxxing her, and are now spreading puritan ideology in order to morally police her story, one that has always explicitly stated that itโs a noir bl involving gangsters + three characters who end up doing dark things. many of the said readers who are spreading these puritan ideologies have started and continued to read wet sand for the past few years knowing this as well and are only doing this out of spite for not getting the eg they preferred
it got so bad a few weeks ago that the harassment was reported on by a large manga news account (@/mangasbrasil) and in result, the same readers went out of their way to attack the journalist of that account too
while ik that many steered clear of this story and its fandom due to the toxic environment fans have cultivated over the years, i still think readers should help stop others from normalizing this parasocial activity with creators, esp after the conversations had just recently about the damage moral policing can have on the bl community in the long run
itโs a terrible message being spread that if creatorsโ stories donโt align with the tastes of readers whose ideologies arenโt universal, readers have the โrightโ to attack them/push for censorship instead of just finding stories they do enjoy

even though i felt that this chapter was short for a finale, i understand that i wanted everything all at once to be shownโฆwhich is impossible.
they have a forever now, a lifetime.
a lifetime to be who they are and not hide away.
a lifetime to love each other the way they always wanted.
a lifetime to talk, resolve and laugh.
oh taejoon and shin youngwoo are home. forever togetherโฆand i think thatโs beautiful.
(still hoping for some side stories)
@yesslyn_@afiafi26 Same! I don't think it was rushed at all. I'm looking forward to the epilogue and hopefully some side stories. But I think the ending was perfect and the little details that Doyak left throughout the series were just *chef's kiss*
@zaria_ranmaru I just read all of the books and I need the 4th volume so bad. I always heard of this Masterpiece but never gave it a shot until now. Ugh I'm obsessed with your books!!
