Hello, and thank you for replying! :)
I checked your DA page and I have to admit that your art really improved since this comic.
Rape as it is presented in yaoi comics has always brushed me the wrong way. I mean, I always feel that people just use it out of pure laziness. Who needs building a gradual relationship based on mutual trust and lust when you can just cut corners and make one guy rape another? And then make light of it, or go for the Stockholm syndrome. I'm sorry for the rant, it's just something I can't get over. I really wish there were more stories that do involve really dramatic events, but also warm, touching relationships to add a bit of honey to the bitterness. Like, the loved one being the only refuge the world offers to another person.
I hope that you get back to this comic. It has potential, but I got the feeling that it was rushed and not planned carefully enough, at least in the beginning, when the reader should be smoothly lead into the story. Maybe slower pacing, and more complex relationships and characters? Starting from a tiny thing and slowly getting to the bigger picture, if that even makes any sense. As for shocking, you succeeded there, you can be sure. ;)
So, again, thank you for the direct reply. It cleared many things. Best of luck, and take care! :)

Hopefully this clears things up...
@Reiu Shanra:
This comic was started in 2009 - almost 4 years ago. Hence the god-awful horrible art. But you can't deny that I have improved steadily over time - look at the first chapter, then take a glance at the most recent chapter.
As for the rape thing, I was naive back then, I'd read a couple of bad yaoi comics that used rape as a plot device for romance so I thought, "Okay, this sounds great. I should do this, too except make it funny." It was insensitive and it was only between then and now, I was raped and realized that it was not a laughing matter at all. I can't even look at the pages without fighting the urge to throw up and going into a cold sweat. The amount of troll comments screaming at me over the whole rape issue hasn't helped either. If I could re-do the comic, and I possibly might for publishing, I would omit the rape scene.
As for religion, I'm not religious either but I've had a Christian best friend in my childhood (we're still friends now), she's read this comic and finds it absolutely hilarious. Again, it comes down to the person. There's been several other religious people who found it funny, others not so much. Which is perfectly okay! I know people are going to be offended, that's going to be a given, regarding the topics and such.
I happen to like yaoi, and yes, I thought it'd be a cool idea to make a comic about God and Satan. There's also a side story with punk version of Buddha having sex with a Chinese dragon if that tickles your fancy. That has sadism/masochism interwined into it.
Basically what I'm saying is I made the comic up along the way, and yes, as I made more pages, I guess I felt the need to grasp at more controversial topics. Why? Because I can. I want to shock people - grab their attention - good and bad.
I'm considering writing this story over again, possibly for publishing purposes. It's thanks to you and everyone else who commented that has pushed me to review my work. I might not omit everything that offends certain people because I can't please everyone.
I hope this helps.

@TatteredXTrivial:
Wow, that's a really long response.
First of all, I'm not criticising the author basing on who he is. For all I know, he might be a really lovely person.
What bothers me here it's this deadly, and I mean DEADLY, combo of themes he decided to choose - and ONLY that. Like you said, it's been done before, but I'm not going to lie, this is the least subtle way of doing it I've encountered so far. And I'm only commenting on certain aspects because they're the only ones that bother me. The biggest thing was this rape thing. There's always rape in such stories, and it's either laughed out loud or plain "rawr and shmexy". Why do people do that? Rape is a horrible thing!
As for religion, I'm not particularly religious, but I can imagine that people out there might get genuinely offended.
All I'm asking is why. I mean, just look: if he wanted to create a yaoi comic, why such a blasphemous theme? If he wanted to go for a dramatic God and Satan story, why yaoi? And finally, if we're insisting on merging those two, the comic really lacked in the art department to be taken seriously. So again: WHY? Why on earth choose such an incredibly risky theme for a just-for-practice comic?

@Reiu Shanra:
Uhm, I think I stumbled into an argument here. ^_^;; Let's see... First, I know both NatakuXeden (aka Tae) and the creator of this comic personally. I think some things need some clearing up (because frankly, I'm sick of hearing you and Tae go at it and seeing the creator feel like shit for all this drama.)
Okay, to clarify some things... Jason (that's the guy who created this) made this comic waaaaay back when he was starting out and one day thought "I should draw up a comic just to push myself." The theme is something that's done so much over and over again in media that it's really nothing new. EVERYONE and their mother has a perverted twist on Christianity. Let's face it - religion is something that will ALWAYS cause people to pay attention in some way. Like it or hate it, it even got YOU to read and comment... so he managed to get that right.
The next point I'd like to make is this: Tae is bias because he's DATING JASON. If someone got snippy and bitchy at someone YOU loved, you'd want to tear them apart. Provided that you are by no means the first one to be like that - or even the worst of them. Far from it, actually. Unfortunately, some jackass who seems to have a personal issue with Jason from years ago posted his comic all over a while back, going on about how terrible it is and making it out to be much worse than it is. So a lot of the traffic it gets nowadays is people being total assholes about it and aiming some really harsh (and usually untrue) criticism at the creator. I know Tae is sick of people telling his boyfriend things like "your art sucks you should kill yourself." So I get why he's defensive to the point of lashing out at people.
Another point I think should be brought up is that you should probably have a bit more of an open mind when reading things like this. Jason never shoved it in anyone's face saying "LOOK HOW GREAT I AM!!!" He simply posted it online to share with people IF THEY CHOSE TO READ IT. You don't HAVE to read it. With the billions of other things to do online, why take time to read several pages of something you hate? It seems pointless and it's basically like saying "I have no life, so I sit in front of a computer and spam comments for the LOLs." That's great for you, but really... what does that accomplish?
I'm taking time out of my night to reply to this because I'm sick of people causing drama by being impolite and bashing something they really don't even KNOW anything about. What you see on the screen isn't all there is to something. God forbid you remember that there's a real human being with feelings, hopes, dreams and goals - just like YOU are - on the other end of that screen. So let's stop being so harsh and maybe try being a bit more creative when you're slamming someone? Like, "I hate this BECAUSE.... (list ways to improve, things to add, etc.)" instead of just being another troll.
I really hope you can understand why I'm sending this. Maybe you can find time in your next message to actually say something NICE to Jason. Because seeing as you haven't had the chance to actually meet him like I have, you really don't know WHO it is that you're brainlessly bashing here. Maybe getting to KNOW someone (instead of just the slanderous crap other people have posted online) will help open your eyes a bit. I'm not saying that to be rude. I just sincerely think that if you actually got to know him, your opinion of him would change.
And let's face it - you haven't really been reviewing the comic at all. You've just been saying the same trash like the other trolls have and trying to get to him.
Well, if that was your goal, congrats? You got replies from both Tae and me. But... Jason's pretty much sitting here rolling his eyes and scolding me because I left the meatloaf I was cooking in a bit too long to explain all of this.
It's a faint, naive hope, but i guess I'm actually crazy enough to think, "hey, maybe there's actually a thinking, logical, REAL human being on the other end of this and maybe - just MAYBE - they have emotions and the brainpower to understand all this."
Thanks for reading.

@NatakuXeden:
Wow, aren't you a pile of sugar. I tried to be as nice as possible, all things considered. Seriously, anger management issues much?
OK, let's see:
I checked his DA before. He improved a lot since this, so points for him.
Sure, the comic is a work of fiction, but that doesn't automatically make it good. And goodness me, this excuse again? "This is the Internet, so let's post this and that because everyone's doing that". Please.
So now, in anticipation of another hatred-filled message telling me how much the world would be better without me, I wonder (I genuinely wonder) what the author was thinking and expecting when he chose to create this comic.

Jesus was a JEW.
@Reiu Shanra:
You're kidding, right? God DOES have a gay crush on Satan and Jesus totally IS a fag. Fuck,lady, go read the Bible.
Okay, in all seriousness... IT'S A FUCKING WORK OF FICTION for one. (Just like the Bible! LOL!) It's called "CREATIVITY" and last time I checked, this is the INTERNET. Bottom line is that if you get your panties in such a twist over something this simple, you need to either PUT ON YOUR BIG GIRL PANTIES AND GROW THE FUCK UP...or GET OFF THE FREAKIN' INTERNET because you're clearly too immature to handle it. trust me.Your brain might explode.
Also, since you clearly didn't actually look at ANY of the info except some butthurt trolling comment,I'll state this bit of detail just ONCE more (because you seem to be a bit SLOW.) #1 The artist has not touched this in forever. #2 he's improved in skill a LOT (that's what happens when you actually work your ass off and draw a 100+page comic, you dumbass.) And #3 he's sitting right next to me wondering why I'm even bothering telling you any of this because clearly you have SHIT FOR BRAINS and didn't understand anything you just read.
Congratulations. You're a speshool fucking snowflake.

@NatakuXeden: Hold on a sec. It's a "for-fun work that was never meant to be taken seriously" and still it tackles really serious/dramatic/controversial issues like religion, profanity or 9/11? What? Makes no sense. Putting aside his artistic skills, which could really use some refining, it's mainly the theme that drives people off here. God having a gay crush on Satan. Jesus raped by what's-his-name. WTF. If anything, this could've been done in a MUCH more subtle way!
And as for "having the balls to post it here", sure what he did was brave. Doesn't mean it was wise.
