BJ Alex it's one of the manhas the had made me excited for every new chapter. I am fond of stories of relationships that don't start in a convencional way which is the case, it may not be the most original plot, but the way the characters developed was satisfactory. Nevertheless, if you dislike manhwas with unequal feelings between the protagonists in the start, it may not be a good choice for you. However, if you are willing to go through this rollercoaster experience give it a shot. The art is beautiful, that white and black style combined with colourful elements was very pleasuring toread.
BJ Alex is full of RAPE, so I warned you. Romanticize rape? No thanks. Why is it getting popular again? After years of telling me yaoi is getting better, I checked it out. And I'm disappointed. Psychological violence, manipulation, coercion, more like a parody on Killing Stalking. Only with a happy end. Uke is another victim of Stockholm syndrome and another seme abuser rapist who is changing for unknown reasons. Zero motivation, logic, poor character development. The characters are shallow and not interesting. Nothing interesting. Typical yaoi manga. Art is great. BDSM is terrible. The plot revolves around sex, or rather rape on the main character. Who isboring, not curious, I can't feel sorry for him. And the emotional abuser, rapist Alex. Apart from a beautiful face, there is nothing in it. The plot is not original, it does not add anything new.
University student Nam Dong-Gyun never misses out on the nightly livestream of his favorite broadcasting jockey, Alex. To fulfill his viewers' neverending fantasies, BJ Alex—who wears a mask to conceal his face—performs sensually arousing acts. Most of the time, Dong-Gyun ends up indulging in sexual pleasure after watching the steamy show. Being in blissful ignorance, he has fallen in love with the gay cam boy. At school, Dong-Gyun meets Ahn Jiwon, the amiable and radiant president of the student council. When he invites Dong-Gyun to a drinking party, it quickly ends in total failure as Dong-Gyun becomes extremely intoxicated. In the company of Jiwon, he arrives safely in his apartment. While his colleague cleans himself from the bumpy ride, Dong-Gyun fixes his eyes on Jiwon's half-naked body; his physique resembles that of BJ Alex's! Unable to contain his excitement, Dong-Gyun asks if he and BJ Alex are the same person—the response he gets is unexpected. With a different side of Jiwon exposed, Dong-Gyun will never be able to look at him the same way ever again. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
I'm not entirely sure why people bloated this manhwa up so much. Maybe that's because of TikTok making "BJ Alex" a meme of some kind a while ago, so even non-manhwa readers started reading and hyping it up as a joke (but I think it's not a joke anymore, seeing people fighting in the comments everywhere protecting main characters by cyberbullying anyone with even a slight hint of dislike towards "BJ Alex"). I think the rating, 8,20/10 as of the moment, is not fair for this manhwa. And this is why: 1) Story 5/10 The story is not that bad, it is just sheerly mediocre. Some people mightsay it is awful because of all the rape episodes, but I don't think that is the main problem. In my life, I've seen many traumatizing-able things, so I don't find rape or emotional abuse to necessarily worsen the plot and make the book immediately repugnant, since it may be needed to build up some characters' background and relay how they turned up screwed or mentally unstable. The problem with "BJ Alex" is that such scenes were not needed, which makes the author seem to be romanticizing such things. That affects the enjoyment more than the story itself, and the plot, as I've stated before, is your average love story's plot. 5/10 it is. 2) Art 8/10 Well, as an artist, I must admit that the artwork is pretty clean. I also really liked seeing the monochrome coloring style first time in a while reading manhwas. The author's art style is pretty easily distinguishable, which is a good thing. I don't think the artwork is exceptional though, hence, I've put 8/10 for that. 3) Characters 5/10 What "BJ Alex" has to offer its readers is: -an emotionally unavailable toxic camboy with commitment and abandonment issues (main character) -a naive, sentimental, and sweet cinnamon roll, totally not a simp (main character) -a BDSM camboy daddy (side character) -a submissive and breedable BDSM enthusiast with too much libido and energy (side character) It seems that the 1st rule of most romance manhwas is to make side characters and their storylines more engaging than the actual main characters. Yeah, the main characters are well-written but are way too average and predictably simple, and the side characters are so good that it sucks in here to not be able to see more of them, therefore, it's pretty much obvious that the author didn't use up all the potential of these two. Such a loss. Overall the mark is 5/10 because most of the time the readers see the classical quarrels of classically written main characters, which is usual for romance manhwas. 4) Enjoyment 2/10 A mediocre story on par with mediocre characters would make the manhwa pretty boring as it is, but what a piece of luck - this manhwa also romanticizes rape, toxic relationships, and abuse and gains so much recognition out of that. Every work must have its charms, but I don't enjoy how things escalated in this one. Yup... I fancy the side characters' storyline though. 2/10 for me. The overall score is 5/10. If you want to read something good, there are way better manhwas than this one, but, I guess, you may want to spare some time on "BJ Alex" for the sake of side characters.
**Finally realised that MAL added this manhwa on their system, read this last February** After I took a break from reading yaoi for a while and honestly I am glad that I decided to read this very saucy realistic yaoi webtoon cause it was so good! Now I have to advice people that there are again a lotta saucy and forceful scenes in this so you have been warned if they don't live up to your standards! Definitely Jiwon and Dong are a great couple. I didn't think of it at first but honestly as I kept reading on, I felt they were both a matchmade in heaven. I usually don't go into detail when it comes to yaoi as some tend to have the same storyline but this webtoon is personally for me, one of the decent yaoi stories out there. Not the mega best but does the job for me to be intrigued and interested on how things progessed for the lads! Give it a read peeps, it's story, characters and art are very well done! ^^
To start off, the only reason I didn't rate this lower is because 1. the art was pretty good. 2. it's sort of a unique concept in the sense that it's about a cam person trying to hide his identity and the mc finds our their identity and falls for them. and 3. the eroticism is good AT THE END. Now as for all the reasons I disliked maybe even hated this story. 1. why why why why why fucking why is there a trope that makes the male lead so fucking mean and rude to the sweet and nice mc. WHY is that a fuckingthing. it's such a HUGE turn off seeing the main character just COMPLETELY disregard what an ass hole the male lead is acting like and still pining over them. like have some decorum it's embarrassing at this point. and why the fuck is male lead so fucking mean. like why. that shit makes me so mad like you're automatically 10x's uglier at this point. i don't give a fuck who broke your heart that doesn't give you the right to be a shitty person. 2. no consent. this added on to the fact that the male lead was already an asshole to begin with almost made me immediately click off. i hate HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE when there's no consent. going along with your partner and doing what they are basically forcing you to do because you're too timid or scared to speak up for yourself IS NOT FUCKING CONSENT. what makes it worse is i actually went through something so similar which makes this shit even more unbearable. and that's all. if those two reasons are enough to immediately think hmm this manhwa sounds like every other basic rape condoning manhwa i've read, seen, or heard of before then idk what to tell you. you're choosing to remain complacent/ignorant for the sake of your desires.
