Could you tell me in which way please? Is one of them treated poorly by the other? Is one a psycho? Is there a lot of rape? I want to give it a try because the cover and summary made it look like a sad story, but seeing your comment, I'm not sure anymore.
It has its pros and cons. I’m someone who was able to endure the level of “fucked up” of Killing Stalking. But this is the first time that rape scenes got me uncomfortable to the degree where I literally have to get up and stop reading because it’s sooo fucked up. Top that of with the high level angst. Oh my god so much angst.
I’m staying for the A+ plot and the incredible art. Also, I just wanna stay long enough to see the main characters happy haha
The story’s really good, you can give it a try. My taste may be different from yours. (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Beware it’s a very messed up story: abduction, physical and mental abuse, rape, suicidal thoughts and violent murders. I personally couldn’t read it because it felt like the author wanted to torture their own characters
the writing is immaculate, you can tell the author really planned out what was going to happen from the beginning, there are scenes foreshadowing the future and past etc. Lee Geom, the MC, is a victim of trafficking, sexual abuse, abuse itself, rape and many other things, in recent chapters, you wouldnt call it ‘rape’ (although i still 100% believe it is as he has to obey no matter what) after going through hell, he now calls himself a prostitute seeing as this is the only option, he tries to make light out of it. One could argue that he is actually doing this by his own will, which is correct, however, if he didnt, and ran away - they would find him and punish him.. severely, he states there is no exist but death itself. - but im telling you, its worth it (unless you have a light stomach/heart). i personally love this manwha, it isnt one of those manwhas with no meaning nor nything correlating w the mc’s point, just rape rape rape/no depth behind it. It’s a beautifully written tragedy, its extremely angsty. Yet, we sympathise with lee geom, reading his thoughts and understanding them, his main reason for trying to pull through after this whole time, understanding his character, the reasons he is doing what he is doing - overall, believe me, its worth it.
spoiler, and if it makes you happy, he will get his revenge on those whom belittled him (hopefully, as thats his main mission after-all, then to reunite with his friends, and finally be in peace.)
Is the seme the ones that puts the MC through the trafficking, sexual abuse etc? I really don't want to waste time on another story where at the end the author give the usual childhood trauma to the seme to make him pitiful and the usual trope where uke finally gets away and only then seme changes and suddenly realise he's in love and then everything is forgiven.
If those things are done by someone who doesn't end up in a relationship with the uke at the end I don't monde though.
Well at least Killing Stalking didn't have a happy ending, and that's what I'm afraid of. I can stand the rape etc, but not if they end up together at the end and they're easily forgiven.
okay.. it seems you are just a wee bit confused man - ill simple it out. the guy that put the mc through all that shit, his name is lee reider, hes a white haired man and hes the ceo of CH (i think its called) and lee geom is a director, below him. the male lead however, is lee geoms childhood friend, lim wooyeon. The uke, lee geom, is headstrong, he knows he wont fall for lee reider, he knows exactly what he put him up to. believe me, if he had enough power he wouldve definitely have gotten rid of him already. you neednt worry, the story line isnt like that. There are some scenes where lee geom and reider do have sex, but thats only for reider to fulfil his lust for him. In the past, after lee geom got abducted, only reider was there for him - i wont go into detail with all that unless you do actually read it, but i can assure you the author cant be that cold-blooded to pair up geom w a man whos only taken advantage, lee geom wouoldnt let that happen to himself anyways.
why lee geom, just get tossed to one man and another and let them take advantage of him, why doesn't he fight back, is he weak that those jerks r*pe him everytime, in the latest chapter in raws too, he just let prosecutor do whatever he want without a single fight, why he didn't refuse, does lee geom has feelings for him

______so I wanna ask what is it that stops him from doing anything and he just let everything happen to him ?????_______ if you can please explain this, I'd be grateful!!! I have only seen pictures and not read the story, you explained everything well to otherd so I wanted a little help with explanation to mentally prepare myself before starting this story..........*****this is my question, don't know why this site cut my reply****╥﹏╥
hiya!! no worries, i can literally write an essay on this manwha if i wanted too but yeah sure basically, if he dares to fight back he will get punished. this is evident in past chapters where one time, he tries to escape prostitution and goes to a police center to try and report them but the police where in cahoots with the people in charge of lee geom and so he was dragged back and beaten for days without much breaks. Instead of fighting, he tries to pull through, obey the higher-ups every word so that one day, out of nowhere, he can get back at them aka, get his revenge. believe me, im sure he feels hurt everytime he gets taken advantage of like this, but he knows if he does something wrong, he will have a big price to pay. Lee geom is quite strong actually, he had lessons taught to him (at a price, the trainer was a pervert..) so he knows a lot about self defence, he can protect himself. and about your other reply, when the prosecutor did whatever he wanted and how lee geom didnt fight nor refuse. Lee geom does not have any feelings for the prosecutor, think of the prosecutor as another person lee geom just has to manipulate/play around with in order to complete his job that he was given (he works to make scandals). to my understandings of the raws and my rough knowledge w korean, i have two interpretations as to why lee geom gave himself away this easily.
1. he had to finish his ‘debt’ to the prosecutor, and by finishing it, he had sex one last time with him before the prosecutor left the country.
2. the prosecutor was just lusting after him, in the raws he said that he wanted to do it one last time with him, said with greed and lustfulness. he then got out of the car and lee geom said something along the lines of “there are so many CCTV here, are you still willing?” and the prosecutor had said everything had already been leaked, this wouldnt make a difference.
i believe its a mixture between 1. and 2. maybe lee geom let him because of the left-over debt he still had to pay the prosecutor, other than that - we have to wait for the official translations to come out. but yeah, a little prepare w mentality will help if you want to read this story :) make sure you know what you’re getting into, lets just hope author-nim will give us a happy ending. hope this helped!!!
Thankyou so much for explaining!! I was soo confused as to why after being strong, lee geom didn't defend himself by kicking their nuts and just let them use him, by the comments I can get the gist of it being angsty, I also hope for it to have happy ending afterall his suffering, thanks again for taking your time out to explain me, I'm really grateful for your help!!!! (/^▽^)/
Oh thank you! That's exactly what I wanted to know! I can read this story then!
This is more fucked up than Killing Stalking.
