All I can say is wow. From all the promotions (*cough* TikTok), it just made it seem like Woojin was your typical protective alpha male trope seme. How wrong I was. Also, why does everyone resorted to violence, it's like they forgot they had a mouth that they can use to COMMUNICATE.
It's only the first 20 chap but the story has progressed like a fucking rocket. I understand the genre of toxic relationships and the idea of why people would like it (myself included). This however is just plain rape/sexual assault, toxic relationships revolve (not only) around the factor of verbal manipulation and blackmail (and of course other factors).
If toxicity is written right, it will leave you emotionally tired even as the reader but all I got out of this was just a plain old 'ah there it is, the plain rape disguised under the toxic genre that somehow will get the leads together with at the end'. Buddy, our protag here didn't even get the chance to be properly manipulated/blackmailed in any way before getting fingers shoved up his ass.
Sorry for the rant, I coincidentally read this without prior research. It kind of threw me off and I ended up vomiting this all out. T.T I'm not trying to trash the author, anyone can draw what they want, I'm just getting tired of relationships in manga/manwha depicted like this as if it's natural and basing the whole plot around it.
