It tells you to proceed with caution before you read it. You made an assumption that it wasn’t going to be that intense & allowed your assumption to become reality. At the end of the day it warned you, no matter how big the warning was, it was there.
The rape scenes are justified because it’s there to show you how many times he had to go through with it to get used to it.
A lot of stories give warnings and TWs, but I've never read one as upsetting as this one. I think its fair to assume that most people reading this didnt know how dark it would actually be. Obviously I made an assumption, but it was based on the facts I was provided with. I just said that it should be more clear that this isn't a normal "dark" story so that people dont assume it is. A story could be called dark if there is murder, or maybe one graphic rape scene. But this is on the extreme end for sure.
And idk if the rape scenes were justified or not. It's not easy to say when art goes too far or if it's justified. To me, I don't think the amount of highly detailed rape was necessary. I think I would've felt pretty disturbed with half the amount of rape portrayed. It just went on and on... the author could've shortened the rape scenes or portrayed them through writing, but instead they were long and every detail was drawn. I guess if the author intended to make the reader feel extremely disturbed, they accomplished it. But idk if I want to continue reading a story that's just constant suffering.
Ok so don’t read it.. I wasn’t tryna change your mind anyways
Ok?? You replied to me and I replied to your reply. That's how these things tend to go lmao
I think this story needs way more warning for how dark it is. I expected some angst going into it, but I didn't expect this. Reading the chapters about geom getting raped for the first time and then everything that happened after that was painful. I was shocked at the sheer amount of rape scenes that had to be drawn. I don't think all the detailed rape was necessary at all.
People should be warned that this story is just continuous suffering. The wooyeon and geom moments in the beginning and flashback were sweet, but they are overshadowed by all of the horrible things. Literally every single man that geom meets (besides wooyeon) wants to rape him. He's seen as a sex object by every single one of them. Wooyeon has no power or money to save geom, so his situation just seems completely hopeless. I don't think this will have a happy ending at all. I imagine we'll see geom be raped 100 more times and wooyeon will mentally break down and get killed. The silver haired mf will probably kill wooyeon honestly. Just to break geom completely. I'll probably stop reading this and just come back to see how it all ends.
