Another day of me wondering why ppl read this? I mean this is not really a masterpiece of ...

But you are here too?

Shhh..! this is masterpiece

i agree, a whole lot have a serious problem w the "dark romance" thats gen just rape after rape

LMAOOOO

They’ll hide behind the excuse that ‘it’s just a work of fiction’. But that’s exactly what it is—a work of fiction—so I don’t really care about the fate of the manhwa characters anymore. After all, the perpetrator and the victim will live happily ever after in the end (￣∇￣")

another day of whining oh my fucking god just go read your shounen ai and leave us alone like what do y’all want honestly

this being fiction is not an excuse, its a fact like these are literally drawings

Omg real and they always hit us with a "it happens in real life-" plsjust

Actually it is a masterpiece

Actually it is a masterpiece ..and believe me whenI say that I almost dropped it because I also thought the exact same thing but then after completing novel I was in loveee

I saw an Zenya edit on insta and being a sucker for hot men I clicked the latest chapter to see what's going on and bam..... He was raping the other character.

"It's just rape after rape"— y'all straight-up skipping the entire point of the damn story. Like, do you even see the system it’s portraying? The story literally dives into a violent-ass world where abuse, manipulation, espionage, and power plays are part of the narrative landscape, sexual abuse is just one piece of that hellish puzzle, not the whole damn plot. People keep losing their minds over the rape but then literally shrug at murder, corruption, framing, political manipulation, and all types of crimes in dark fiction just because it doesn't trigger their morality—that’s just y'all selective hypocrisy. Zhenya and Taekjoo’s relationship isn’t some cliche enemies-to-lovers trope where two kids fight and then kiss, it’s a dark, psychological, negotiation-heavy, emotionally intense evolution where survival, trust, and sincerity are earned, tested, and proven over time. It's uncomfortable, that’s the point. It’s dark, it’s messy, and it’s supposed to make you squirm while showing how people survive and connect in a world that’s fundamentally violent. If you’re gonna fixate on one element and ignore the whole damn system and narrative intent, maybe step back before pretending you’re making a moral critique.

To be honest, I don’t care about the rape or the mental and physical trauma suffered by the black rabbit, because they’ll end up together anyway. Then you say ‘an emotionally intense evolution where survival’—will there be anything that makes it difficult for the albino crocodile to survive as well?

Zhenya wasn't someone who just strolls through the story with zero struggle. A lot of ppl who hasn't read the novel and doesn't understand the entire narrative acts like Zhenya's life is some cushy stroll while Taekjoo gets all the trauma points. That man was literally raised inside a violent-ass system where survival wasn’t optional—he got kidnapped at six, abandoned emotionally by a family that only cared about power and pride, and didn’t bat an eye because in their twisted world, a son getting snatched is weakness, and weakness is a form of shame, so he had to survive and escape in that hell alone, and learned the rules of a brutal, merciless system all alone as a freakin’ child—that incident taught him from day one that the world doesn’t give a damn about your life unless you fight tooth and nail for it, and it forged him into a walking weapon he is now. And let’s not forget that he’s carrying Anastasia, a weapon that makes him a literal walking target of every power government agencies, and making every faction to want him dead, so every damn day he’s operating in a world where one slip equals death, every mission assigned to him also ended up as a survival because of all the possible ambush, and even Taekjoo as his “enemy” is just another obstacle he has to assess, outmaneuver, and survive. Y'all should stop acting like Zhenya’s predator behavior towards Taekjoo means he doesn’t have his own damn survival frame. That man’s entire existence is a warzone from day one, and surviving in it shaped every ounce of the ruthless, unstoppable, emotionally intense dude we see in the story.
