Yeah but it gets to a point bro a very good example of a psychological thriller is killing stalking. Everything that the author put in was done with purpose and intention. This just feels ridiculous
This isnt true because:
1) rxpe scenes are drawn in details. Which makes it romanticize the rxpe more, it lessen the effects of it.
2) While story is clearly tellin us that they are rxpists, the narrative treats them as 'love interests', that they all want mc to themselves. Not only this is unrealistic because besides haeyoung, there is no reason the other two characters being so obssesed with mc and they all love him and they all turn out to be rxpist? Sexual predators have many victims. You dont see them obsessing over just one guy. Not to mention that they clearly dont love him as person but they chase after him. This is like rxpe fantasy.
3) While it is written realistically, story doesnt make much progress. No character development, no lesson or nothing. Only thing change is traumatized mc and rxpists realized that 'they fcked up at the end '.
- If story was truly about psychological trauma, it wouldnt show sex scenes in so much details. It would also written rxpists more realistically, not as 'love rivals'. Mc is already rxped many times, whats the point of showing more rxpe scenes? What adds that to story? There is no point. It doesnt change the rxpists, it doesnt change the victim. There is no plot. Other than mc being pushed around and rxpe over and over and being chased to get chosen by him. Its disgusting and very terribly written. Just writing the only trauma effects of victim isnt enough to say story is well written. You need to do more than that.
4) Yes, its disturbing to read it. But thats less about peoples unable to endude it, its more about how pointless and unrealistic this story is.
I don't see how drawing those in detail is supposed to romanticize rape? If anything, those scenes make you feel worse for haewon as you can see what is going on during the act. All 3 of those guys are portrayed as depraved. They only pretend to care about Haewon, and they only got possessive after raping him. Absolutely nothing is romantic about this and if you think the author is trying to portray it that way, it says more about you than about them tbh.

Its not my fault that you cant read subtle hints, so dont put this on me.
1- Drawing rxpe in details is yes, bad. Its the same reason why sexual predators loves to watch rxpe video again and again while victims despise it. You can show that scene uncomfortable without showing hundreds condoms or semens on victims ass.
2- If narrative didnt want to portray them as 'love rivals', authors wouldnt write a scene where mc has to 'choose' to sit besides one of the three or how they all keep saying 'choose me over haeyoung' or how they ALL think they actually want to date haewoon with blusing. Story doesnt portray those scenes as rxpists twisted thoughts. It portrays as young man realizing their crush. If they werent written as 'love interests', people in comments wouldnt even wonder who mc will end up with because story constantly compare those characters. Storys main focus isnt just mcs trauma. It also focus his relationship with 'them, how they feel about him and how mc feel about them'. And mind you, in the end: mc ends up with his rxpist. If he was not meant to be as love interest, why would end up that way? Why characters are screaming 'choose me' like otome game character. Why there is a scene when one of the rxpist say 'choose me, i will treat you better as long as you let me fck you' and mc answers 'i will think about it'. Its like dark otome game where mc has to choose one of them. Its similar to romance otome game in that sense. If you cant see it, idk what to tell you.
You’re projecting, if you ask me. Is drawing intensgore, torture and horror bad too?
It seems like just like the rapists, you are completely ignoring how Haewon is feeling. The story is portraying them as depraved rapists. Their own feelings in the matter is just to show how selfish they are. If you feel like this is some romcom otome game, or that it is trying to be, you are completely media illiterate. At most, it’s sexualizing, but NOT romanticizing. There is absolutely nothing romantic nor sexy about this story, the author is not trying to make it out be either. The MC’s mental health is down the drain, he is constantly suffering, being abused and you fxcking dare argue that the author is trying to make this otome?
It’s a psychological horror and it’s not trying to be anything ekse. You’re just being dumb about this. Self righteousness is what they call it I guess.
Are the rape scenes making you uncomfortable? Guess what, sweetheart, that's the point. This is psychological horror. Just like how seeing someone's head being ripped off in horror, this is also supposed to make you feel uncomfortable. What is going through Haewon's head when he's being raped isn't hot, sexy or romanticizing, it's fucking disturbing. Those 3 "friends" and their vague romantic feelings just shows their selfishness, not how cute fluffy uwu they are. Get fucking real, girl.
The point is: you dont need to draw rxpe in such details to show that it is rxpe or you showed it once or twice but pretty much every chapter, like this? Its unnecessary. It only serves you people ejo is into rxpe stuff. Most people arent here to read rxpe porno. We want psychology thriller. And i am explaining to you, that it isnt fluffy or sweet but characters ARE acting like otome game 'choose me' characters. You keep twisting my words. Also the example you used could seen as similar. For example, killing in movies in gore ways. Yes it happens but imagine a movie that only has constant blood, gore stuff without any proper story progress. People came to that movie to watch a story. Not just watching someones dying in ridicious ways. This story is like this. Hundres of chapters, nothing happens besides rxpe. And ypu call this thriller? Psychological? Its sad that you all confuse porn with psychology thrillers. I love dark stuffs too but its not that hard to understand why authors or artists delibarately writes or shows certain scenes. Like, good for you that you can enjoy this non-existent plot, like only a few moments of mcs mentally being broken but at least, dont treat people like idiots when they have justifiable reason to criticize this story. Anyway, i dont want to fight so its best to end here.
girl you can’t even write the word “rape,” I don’t think you can even seriously engage with the topic
I disagree. Killing stalking dealt more with violent coercion, so the pacing was sharper and more on-the-nose, but this one deals with long-term abusive relationships that rely more on manipulation and sociological inequality to fester. I found the class commentary compelling and multifaceted, especially when the MC is outlining all the privileges his abusers have that he lacks—which directly trap him in the situation he’s in. It might not be your cup of tea, but it’s certainly not bad writing.
Agree to disagree then bc this is definitely bad writing dogshit and you're weirddd for defending it so much, if it were a good story that seriously tackles these topics instead of being a fetish fapping material for the author that so obviously and clearly has a thing for rape and lower class ppl being taken advantage of by higher class ppl then I'd understand why you'd defend it. But I don't. Bc this story sucks ass. Another good story that tackles dark topics is dark heaven. You can enjoy this media no one is stopping you but the fact you're going as far as to write paragraphs on why you think it has good writing is diabolical. U have a very fitting name btw
You're not tough for enjoying a rape story my bro. I guess we got Tommy tough knuckles over here. Billy badass joining in the ring. Ur weird for not having any empathy for this person who is clearly disturbed by disturbing material which is a very human thing btw. They're calling out the author for being a weirdo and writing rape masturbating material that is never justified btw. This isn't even a horror it's just sloppy shock value
ur weird asf for this strange sense of righteousness and superiority over fictional media that isn’t even problematic pls go outside, touch some fucking grass, and leave ur performative activism back on tiktok where it belongs
like seriously i feel like u freaks get off smtimes bitching at others online; learn how to have a discussion without losing your mind and jumping to insults when u can’t make an actual coherent point
No you're just mad that I'm right and I'm calling you out bro, you're weird asf for defending this story and if u actually did this irl you'd be hated on so stop hiding behind your screen in your mom's basement like a incel and actually come up with an opinion that is good
You're the fucking freak for fapping to a rape story. I'm not going to respect or have a civil conversation with a fucking weirdo. Stay mad
"Isn't even problematic" I wonder where u draw the line then you fucking ass wipe. Go back to riding this authors dick since u both clearly have a fetish for rape. I AM better than you for my opinion stop using fancy words, I AM a better person than you for my strong morals that will not break just bc dipshits like u try to get me to back down. If you actually spoke to a real life person about your opinion on this fucking story you'd be cancelled within a heartbeat
I feel like the author was making fun of single-braincelled readers saying the mc should khs by including their comments in that one chapter randomly… also just bc the content is horrific/triggering doesn’t make the story bad, I think it’s handled in a realistic way (aka not trying to delusionally pretend it’s a romance or excuse the characters’ actions) & plays out as an interesting thriller/psychological horror. but with the way purity culture is rn, y’all not ready for that convo
